Maybelline Voxbox: Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation



     I received a Voxbox containing Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation and I received it for free in exchange for this honest review. It was a close match for me, but not a perfect match to my skin tone. I went to Maybelline's website and found out that they do have more shades, so I probably could find my shade. This shade actually matches the color of my hands more than my face, which is a different color altogether. I will say that it went on really smooth and you don't need to use much. It doesn't feel caked up or causes you to break out. If you use it over time, it actually can improve how your skin looks and feels. You pump a little bit out and use a sponge or whatever and spread it evenly.

     It says on the label that you can use it as a sunscreen and it is SPF 15, but apply water-resistant sunscreen if you are getting in water or sweating. It feels really light and it doesn't have a smell. I think the bottle looks really nice, too. It lasts all day and it's oil-free. It won't fade and the only reason they mention sunscreen if you sweat is for if you needed extra sunscreen protection and not that your makeup wouldn't hold up well. It takes about 3 weeks to change your skin's appearance and it can reduce the amount of acne, redness or dullness your skin has. Check around for your perfect shade!

The Man From U.N.C.L.E.


 

     The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is currently in theaters and I saw it before I heard all of the reviews for it, which turned out to be a very good thing. Some people were saying that it was kind of funny, but was dragged out or that the two leading male characters had no chemistry. I saw it and I have no idea what they are talking about. Guy Ritchie directed this movie and it comes from the t.v. show The Man From U.N.C.L.E. It is funny and it has really cool action in it. It's about two spies who hate each other and work better alone, but have to work together for the sake of the mission. When people said they have no chemistry, I thought that was odd. They were meant to hate each other and their chemistry seemed exactly like how it should have been if two people have been trained to hate other and just in general hate their competition.

     If you've seen everything else in theaters and think there is nothing left. There is. You might be waiting for Spectre or think nothing can top Spy or Kingsman, but this movie is pretty good. You might see this movie after Straight Outta Compton and before Spectre, but you won't regret it. If you want to talk about regret, I saw Vacation. If it wasn't for 2 certain cameos, I would still be looking back with regret. With U.N.C.L.E., you might not think it's the greatest, but it's pretty good. Also, this movie is supposed to be a backstory of how the team is formed. You can see it with just about anyone. It does have a few strong scenes, so maybe only take your kids if they're about 13 or 14 and up. I actually really enjoyed this movie, but I didn't want to over-hype people up to it. I just wanted people to know critics expect movies to be Oscar-worthy, but the general audience expects a decent movie and yes, I have actually heard people say great things about Vacation and I'm still confused. 7/10

20% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid by CSCS


     CSCS has made this face serum and it works for all skin types and ages. It comes in a blue bottle and with a dropper top. It's a creamy, white color and it has a smell that matches the ingredients in it. It's not unscented and it's not perfume-scented, but it's not so overpowering that you can't use it. If you want your skin to look younger, this product will work and it you want your skin to look more vibrant, this is the product to use. It has well known ingredients that you would find in high-end products and it costs a lot less. It's not harsh on your skin and you won't get any type of terrible reaction to it.


     You skin will look and feel youthful, healthy and beautiful. It absorbs into your skin quickly. It's easy to put on and it's a product for people looking for something that is anti-wrinkle, anti-aging and something that moisturizes, reduces fine lines, wrinkles and puffiness. Try it if you want an anti-aging and/or moisturizing product that costs so much less than leading beauty products. I received this product heavily discounted in exchange for my review.
