00:00:00.000 Hello beautiful ladies and welcome to today's video where I'm going to be doing another round 1.00
00:00:04.500 of discount makeup. I went to TJ Maxx a couple of days ago and I was looking around their discount
00:00:08.640 makeup section like I always do and I found a couple of things that I wanted to try. I tried
00:00:14.380 the Bare Minerals Bare Skin Foundation and I tried the Boscia Porefecting White Charcoal 0.98
00:00:20.740 Mattifying Treatment Primer. I'm always going to have to read that name because it is longer than
00:00:24.980 anything. I was really interested to see how they work together and how they worked up.
00:00:29.700 So let's get started. So I'm going to start off with this Boscia Porefecting White Charcoal
00:00:36.100 Mattifying Treatment Primer and this is $7.99. I got this at TJ Maxx. So I've heard good things
00:00:46.620 about it and I've been finding that with my combo skin I've been having more oily skin than dry
00:00:52.760 as the seasons are changing as it's getting hotter outside. So I figured I would try a
00:00:57.420 mattifying primer because I've been using the L'Oreal Glow Lock Primer in like all of
00:01:01.540 my videos and now I'm starting to feel kind of greasy. So this is what the bottle looks
00:01:05.140 like and it's a big bottle actually which I am a little bit surprised by. Oh that's cool.
00:01:12.360 It's a pump. It's a bottle that's also a pump. It's kind of funny but cleaner so let's try it.
00:01:19.420 Okay so it looks like this. It's a very thick consistency. You can see it's not moving.
00:01:26.920 I am going to put this on half my face because we're trying a Bare Minerals serum primer today
00:01:34.380 and I want to see how it reacts to no primer and to this primer so we can see if the primer
00:01:42.520 is the issue or if it's the foundation itself. So I'm just going to apply this to half my face.
00:01:49.880 We're going to do this on the right side. I can tell that it's going to be tacky because
00:01:55.460 as I'm rubbing it into my skin it gets more and more sticky which is good because that
00:02:00.380 means that my foundation will stay all day. Theoretically this is supposed to minimize pores.
00:02:06.020 I can see it a little bit. Not a lot though and it's doing that thing that mattifying primers
00:02:14.460 normally do which is it's like balling up where I put it on the face and if I rub too hard.
00:02:21.040 So I think that the thing to know about this primer just starting off is that you shouldn't rub it in
00:02:27.120 past the point of sticking because then it'll just start coming off in little bally pieces off your face.
00:02:31.780 This is what it says about the Porefecting Primer from Boccia.
00:02:35.700 A skin balancing treatment primer that controls shine while working to reduce the appearance of
00:02:40.460 pores creates a smooth matte finish for long-lasting makeup wear. To use. Apply one to two pumps onto
00:02:47.060 cleansed moisturized skin can be used before and after makeup application to prime and mattify.
00:02:52.440 After? I don't know what they're talking about. You would not put on a primer after you've done the
00:02:59.080 rest of your makeup. Don't do that. For foundation today I thought I would try the Bare Minerals
00:03:04.120 Bare Skin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation and this says a tone correcting mineral foundation and
00:03:11.260 skincare serum in one. This ultra thin skin perfecting fluid provides seamless adjustable coverage
00:03:16.700 a natural finish and the look and feel of beautiful skin while delivering a noticeably brighter
00:03:21.000 more youthful appearance. Made with bare minimum ingredients it's like nothing you've ever felt before.
00:03:26.800 Well we'll see if that's true. So this is the lightest shade. Maybe it might be too light so
00:03:33.520 if it is I apologize in advance but I always choose the lightest shade just because I assume that
00:03:40.060 that's the color I'll be. Oh this comes with a little pamphlet. Shake well. Apply with fingertips or buff
00:03:49.840 onto skin with our perfecting face brush. Start with one to two drops of foundation and adjust to your
00:03:54.580 Gazzard coverage level with additional drops. Okay so I'm assuming this is a dropper then.
00:04:02.340 Interesting it's like a little squeeze bottle. Okay cool. I'm going to do one half of my face with a
00:04:06.740 sponge and one half of my face with my fingertips. Now I just have to decide which one I want to do
00:04:11.380 with the primer. So I think I'm going to do the sponge on the primer side and my fingertips on the
00:04:19.420 not primer side. So let's try this out. Okay so it's very liquidy. Like water. Water liquids of like
00:04:30.640 it's just going to come off your skin. So that's number one. And I will say the bottle is this
00:04:36.820 color. Clearly that's not my shade. On my hand it's this color. So don't necessarily assume it's the
00:04:42.840 color of the bottle. But let's see if it looks right on the face. Yeah see this is much closer
00:04:49.560 to my skin tone. This is actually maybe the first foundation I've used in a while at least that I
00:04:57.280 actually believe you can use your fingertips to apply. Because generally the foundation is just
00:05:04.280 too streaky. You can't really do that. Well two drops is definitely not enough for my whole face.
00:05:10.200 Let's just put that out there. It's enough for this portion. Can you hear that? But yeah it literally
00:05:19.060 feels like I'm just putting on a serum which is what it does. I assumed when I bought this this was
00:05:23.960 going to be a very natural foundation. And so I wasn't assuming I was going to get great coverage
00:05:29.880 just a little bit of like evening. I don't like this with a sponge at all. I think you got to
00:05:40.140 go in with your fingers friends because this is not the kind of foundation that likes being applied
00:05:45.500 with a sponge. The sponge just absorbs it because it's already so thin.
00:05:48.300 learned our lesson. This feels very oily. I just feel really oily. Like that's how
00:05:59.280 like it's kind of like it's funny when I put my hands on my face I don't feel that way. But
00:06:04.160 when I like rub it in it feels oily on my fingers. So that's kind of odd. If you are a woman who has 1.00
00:06:12.560 great skin maybe just a little bit of discoloration here and there but no scars no acne like I have
00:06:18.560 right now then I think that this might be a good foundation for you. But for me who has acne scars
00:06:26.780 and has actual acne I think that this might be a little bit too sheer. So this would be good for
00:06:34.040 like a young woman who is just starting out in makeup and doesn't need a lot of coverage.
00:06:38.200 For me I don't need a lot of coverage. I do need enough that I don't feel like I have to just go
00:06:42.480 over all the spots that I would normally go over with foundation with concealer to hide it. It might
00:06:47.960 be good for a summer day but it is moving around. Zero chance that you can get away with not putting
00:06:55.000 a powder over this because I touch my face and the foundation moves and that's on both sides. I don't
00:06:59.780 really actually see a huge difference. I do think that it looks better actually on the side without
00:07:06.540 but I have a feeling that the primer is going to look really good with a foundation foundation
00:07:12.860 not a serum foundation. This seems to sit well just right on top of the skin but I don't know
00:07:19.200 that this is kind of a conundrum for me because if something is this sheer I don't think you should
00:07:24.160 be setting it. I don't think you should be putting concealer over the top of it and this is something
00:07:28.020 that you need to set so that's confusing for me. I'm going to finish up the rest of my makeup
00:07:33.720 and see how things sit on top of this and then we will get back to it.
00:08:03.720 Bye bye.
00:08:10.100 Let's get started.
00:08:40.100 Let's get started.
00:09:10.080 I don't think that it goes with a foundation like this.
00:09:12.440 It goes with a foundation that is thicker, that's actually more of a foundation and not
00:09:16.220 a serum.
00:09:16.800 So I want to try this again and I want to try it with a foundation.
00:09:19.900 That's number one.
00:09:21.040 Number two, the foundation.
00:09:23.100 So the foundation is not really a foundation.
00:09:25.720 It's more of a serum, a tinted moisturizer, and it's very oily.
00:09:29.660 So I think it would be good for a light makeup day in the summertime, but you do have to
00:09:35.240 set it down.
00:09:35.960 So that to me is kind of a conundrum.
00:09:38.040 I don't think that I would use this again for a full face of makeup.
00:09:43.040 I think I might use this to the pool.
00:09:45.160 If I were going to wear makeup to the pool, I would probably wear something like this
00:09:48.560 or if I was going on a hike, if I was going to be really active and I didn't want a full
00:09:52.080 face of makeup, but I just wanted a little bit of coverage.
00:09:54.360 This might be a good solution to that.
00:09:56.160 I think if you're the kind of person who wants light coverage, then this will work really
00:09:59.140 well for you.
00:09:59.960 So that's a good thing.
00:10:02.540 But like I said, the cons are that it's slick.
00:10:06.400 It comes off your face if you touch it and you don't set it down.
00:10:09.340 And it does have these, the tend to settle into the lines on your face.
00:10:13.900 So I don't love it.
