Roshelle and Alyssa: NARS Sheer Glow Foundation & Beauty Blender First Impression & Review!

Hey guys! So as you saw in our mini Sephora & MAC Haul earlier this week, I (Roshelle) got the NARS Sheer Glow foundation and the original beauty blender at Sephora and I really wanted to get a review up for you guys on these two products. So let's start off with the NARS Sheer Glow foundation. I got mine in the shade Barcelona. The line's shade range is pretty good with 17 different colour options. NARS claims that it is a glowing, natural radiant foundation with sheer and buildable coverage that immaculately evens skin tone. I definitely contemplated between getting this or Makeup Forever's HD Foundation but decided to get this because my skin was feeling drier than usual and I heard that NARS' Sheer Glow would moisturize as it was a more liquidy foundation, so to say, more than the Makeup Forever one. I have some dry patches on the side of my nose and on my forehead and this DID NOT accentuate them! Brilliant! It was pretty cool cause most foundations tend to do that to my skin and it begins to be super noticable that I slobbed some foundation on but with this NO! It's perfect. It's like it went on perfectly through the dry patches and put a layer on top of the patch without making it look cakey. Let me tell you unless you didn't know that I really do like this foundation! Did I just find my HG foundation??? I've really only used drugstore foundations (Maybelline/Revlon) ever since I started using makeup but this is such a winner! I really didn't know what to expect from this because I never owned such a high end foundation. The coverage is sheer-medium coverage and is definitely buildable, like NARS claims it is. However this did hurt the wallet, as it was $55 CAD. I wore it the entire day today and it felt super smooth on my skin leaving me with a flawless, smooth and even complexion even without a primer. Some people worry about this looking too glowy and in my opinion, it doesn't do that! It definitely gives a subtle glow while still looking natural and lit from within and still looking natural. So glad I decided to purchase it and I know I will continue to love it especially during these Winter Months!

I did it. yes, I watched numerous Youtube videos and all I could see people applying their foundation with was this bright pink sponge. Yes the beauty blender! This little bad boy was always on my watch and whenever I went to Sephora and I'd look at it and I could not justify a $26 sponge. I really couldn't. Now, when Alyssa and I were on our mini shopping trip, I looked at it again. I really wanted to see what all the hype was about over this small, unique sponge. Let me tell you, I am so glad I did! Even though this was a really expensive sponge.. it is SO worth it. I'm never applying foundation or concealer with a brush again (Did I really just say that?!) This gives me flawless coverage when I use this sponge with the NARS Sheer glow. It really does make the makeup I use set perfectly onto my skin! And the sponge is beautiful.

In conclusion, I really do like these two products and I'm super happy I got them. Even though they are pricey (like everything else in Canada lol) they will not disappoint! The foundation really gives me the flawless look, while still looking natural look. It gives such a healthy glow and it makes you look radiant! And the beauty blender is just so amazing. All those times passing by it wondering if it was worth it is over because now I know how amazing it is. It applies all liquid face products like foundation and concealer seamlessly. Definitely check out these 2 products the next time your at sephora!
