Hello! Today I'm going to be writing about 2 things I bought back in March, and I probably haven't used them since... Which is sad because I really wanted them to be great!
I'll be talking about the Urban Decay Naked Flushed compact, and the Too Faced Primed & Poreless Powder
~*~*~
First up! Naked Flushed
I like the idea behind this little compact, it's super convenient to be able to carry 3 face products in your purse, but I think it's a bit too small.
The contouring shade was useless too me, as it wasn't pigmented enough to show up on my slightly-tan skin, and if I packed it on - I looked partially like an Oompa Loompa.
The blush shade was a bit too ruddy for my skin, and it just looked off.
Lastly, the highlight shade was perfect (of course) but I found it a little difficult to get onto a brush alone. Which is why I think maybe if the colors were actually in separate pans or if they were all the same size square, this compact would've worked out much better.
Primed & Poreless
I've heard wonderful things about this product, and I couldn't wait to purchase it!
It comes in 2 ways, as a pressed powder, or a loose powder (above).
Now when I opened this, I was expecting a huge mess and to have the product floating around in the lid, after being shuffled around in shipping. But to my surprise, there was a sticker over the holes, keeping the powder in, and after removing the sticker, you can turn the little dial to cover the openings, so you STILL don't have to worry about a spill if you take this with you somewhere, and you just toss it into your bag!
Now onto the problem: I found this extremely difficult to get out of the sifter. I would turn it upside down and tap it into the lid. No matter how hard or how long I tapped, I wouldn't get a lot out, and it was frustrating to have to continuously turn it over and tap, apply, turn over and tap, apply, repeat, etc.
I don't know if maybe mine got packed together from being shipped (Florida's humidity is a killer), but I sadly can't say if this product did what it said it should.
I think next time I'm going to purchase the pressed powder and test that out!

I'm thinking of maybe doing more posts like this, as I'm usually disappointed by stuff I buy.
Let me know if you guys are interested!
