LORAC - Double Feature Concealer/Highlighter Review

LORAC Double Feature Paraben-Free Concealer and Highlighter $24 at loraccosmetics.com

LORAC Double Feature is a multi-tasking complexion perfector with an interesting design. The product comes in two parts; the swivel-up concealer stick and the doe-foot wand style vial of highlighter.

The twist-up stick is a creamy and pigmented consistency and it covers well with minimal creasing as the day goes on. It sets well with powder and is easily blended out with a finger or sponge. Included in the packaging is a "blender ball," which is a roller-ball such as you might see on some lip glosses or eye shadows, but it is clean and is meant to be used to smooth the concealer out and blend the harsh lines. The ball is somewhat effective, but I found better results using both my fingers and a wedge sponge. The inherent flaw in the blender ball, in my opinion, is that I don't find it to be very sanitary. You can wipe the ball off with a disinfectant wipe which might degrade the ball in time, or use a wet cloth, but then the moisture will get in below the ball and that might cause blending problems with it later. I think that while the blender ball is fairly superfluous, the concealer is pretty light in feel with heavy-duty results.

LORAC - Natural Performance Foundation Review

LORAC Natural Performance Foundation - $35 at loraccosmetics.com or sephora.com

Finding the right foundation for my oily skin feels like a losing battle most of the time. No foundation is ever going to be "transfer-resistant" on me as oil breaks it down. When I try an oil-free foundation, sometimes it can make my skin feel so dry and it almost always aggravates my skin, and the lack of oil in the formula creates "rebound" oil to make up for it, and I'm even oilier than I was before. For this reason, I tend to avoid oil-free foundations for my oily skin, but they always appeal to me. What part of "no oil" wouldn't appeal to a "glowy" gal like me?
