With summer here, it’s more important than ever to be knowledgeable about protecting skin from the sun. You probably know that SPF measures a product’s ability to protect skin from UVB rays, but here’s a new acronym you might not be familiar with: EPF.

I’ve been trying a lot of tinted moisturizers lately because full coverage foundation simply feels too heavy for summer. I tried Stila’s Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer in Light, since I’m a big fan of the brand in general and hoped it would measure up to You Rebel and Sugartint.
The color was a perfect match for [...]

This product comes in a small pump bottle; it’s only 0.5oz and costs [...]

Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Foundation is the liquid version of Maybelline’s Bare Escentuals-esque mineral powder foundation. I tried it in Light Beige, and I have to say that the shade bordered on orange-y. Who’s heard of an orangey beige? Not me.

I love tinted moisturizers in general, so I decided to try BeneFit’s You Rebel Lite. I find the whole “tinted moisturizer” thing to be a bit of a misnomer, as this has the consistency and coverage of a light foundation.
