    Before you read this post, please remember that we all have difference preferences and skin types. These are MY hits, misses and likes. You might love something I don’t like or dislike something I love.

    So, I received 6 products from Topbox Circle and I’ve tried them all out and here are my thoughts. First of all, I love the rose gold packaging of the products. The frosted glass of the foundation bottle is also beautiful.

    HITS

    Mattifying Pressed Setting Powder* – This mattifies and provides coverage nicely. It’s great to throw in the purse to touch up throughout the day.

    Matte Pressed Bronzer* – I was intimidated by the shade of this, but if you use the right brush, it will diffuse and blend it out beautifully.

    MISSES

    Sheer Glow BB Cream* – Similar to the foundation, this provided no coverage and just made me look very dewy.

    Luminous Sheer Liquid Foundation* (read my review) – This provided no coverage for me at all. It was like the BB Cream.

    Sheer Glow Colour Balm* – This was patchy and I don’t like the taste/smell of this on my lips.

    LIKES

    Perfecting Primer* (read my review) – This primer was okay. It wasn’t the worst, but also wasn’t the best.

    Liquid Foundation Brush* – I prefer using sponges, but this is a very nice brush and I would consider getting other brushes from Nude by Nature.

    If I were to buy anything, I would get some of the Nude by Nature brushes, and I would get the powder products again. I will be giving the liquid foundation and BB cream to a friend who likes sheer coverage.

    Have you tried Nude by Nature? What are your faves?

    Love,

    Products marked with * were sent to me for review.

  • Review | Nude by Nature Luminous Sheer Liquid Foundation

    February 12, 2019

    Hi Everyone!

    I received a few products from Nude by Nature for testing purposes and I have the first honest review for you. Today, I’m reviewing the Luminous Sheer Liquid Foundation.

    I have previously received the Perfecting Primer from Chick Advisor. I reviewed it on the blog: read my review.

    A sheer liquid foundation that delivers light to medium coverage with a dewy radiant finish.

    Benefits

    • Hydrating formula
    • Skin nourishing ingredients
    • Rich in vitamins and antioxidants
    • Helps fight visible signs of ageing
    • Fragrance-free

    I love the frosted glass and rose gold packaging with the pump. I liked the dewy finish and the whipped texture of the foundation, but that’s about it. It just doesn’t work for me; it’s a good match for my ski tone (I received the shade N1 Shell Beige). The coverage is exactly as described: sheer. If you already have perfect skin and just want to add a bit of dewiness, then you might like this. I need something that is more buildable because I have redness under my nose and chin. If I’m wearing foundation, I want it to at least cover up a bit of the redness so that my concealer doesn’t have to do all of the work. I also found that it kind of dried weirdly where it would get patchy. This doesn’t have any added fragrance, so it smelled like paint. Also, since it’s so natural, it washes off really easily with water. Similar to the Burt’s Bees Goodness Glows Foundation which also rinses off with water. So, make sure you don’t get caught in the rain or to drench your face in setting spray.

    RATING: 2/5

    I didn’t even do a wear test because this foundation had barely any coverage, so anything I would be testing would be my concealer or powder.

    Love,
