Favorite Formulas

Below, you’ll find my favorite formulas from Fenty Beauty and some of the top-rated shades within each formula. It should come as no surprise that the Cheeks Out Cream Blushes top my list–really a category that I’ve been waiting for a brand to fill with something fantastic, and Fenty did it!

I also keep a few of Fenty Beauty’s Killawatt Highlighters (duos or singles) in my drawer of go-tos. Afternoon Snack/Mo’ Hunny and Wattabratt are two I’ll use for something quick ‘n’ easy for review photos, and they’ve been in my vanity drawer since they launched (you can read more about them in my Must-Haves from 2020).

I’ve repurchased the original Fenty Gloss Bomb a few times at this point, and it’s been a favorite for awhile (see Must-Haves That Stayed Favorites from 2018!). I keep one in my bag as well as in my vanity for easy, on-the-go application that’s shiny, comfortable, and has a bit of dimension (but goes with any look).

Fenty Beauty Poutsicle Hydrating Lip Stain

Read Reviews View Swatches View a shade... Berry BangerFuchsia WifeGem and IMai TypeStrawberry SangriaZesty Bestie

The formula is supposed to have a glossy finish that leaves a "soft tint" behind while being hydrating, feather-resistant, and offers "sheer-to-medium coverage." It has a a thinner, more watery texture initially, which developed to something smoother and plusher without being too tacky. This helped the product stay in place and be bleed/feather-resistant while having longer-wear, but it was still comfortable to wear. Read more...

The formula is supposed to give a "fresh wash of color" that is "effortless" to blend with a "natural-looking" finish. The coverage is designed to be "sheer, buildable" with a "sweat- and water-resistant formula." The brand recommends to apply with fingertips or their 125 brush (which is a fairly dense, angled brush). Read more...

The formula is supposed to have "long-wear" that is "transfer-resistant," "easy to blend, and "light-as-air" with buildable coverage that "is hard to overdo." The pigmentation was more medium to semi-opaque with some shades being nearly opaque in a single layer. For truly buildable pigmentation, I would recommend using a light hand initially or a less-dense brush to pick up and to apply the product. Read more...

Fenty Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick

The formula is supposed to have "sheer" coverage that is "ultra comfortable" that "lock[s] in moisture." It's designed to be something you can apply without a mirror (which just really make it clear that it is a sheerer product), but it does say "buildable" with multiple layers. The consistency was moderately dense in the tube but melted subtly as I applied it to my lips, and it felt more emollient after a few seconds of wear. They felt lightweight without being tacky, and it had more of a light-medium level of slip, so it didn't seem to slide around a lot during wear. It definitely has a balmy feel on the lips but has some staying power (but less than say, an opaque, satin lipstick). Read more...

The formula is supposed to have a “peach-vanilla” scent (I’d agree–sweet, lightly fruity) and be “conditioning.” It was designed to be worn alone or layered over other lip products. The consistency was very smooth, light-to-medium in weight, non-sticky, and comfortable to wear. It had a plusher consistency that helped it stay out of most of my lip lines. The shimmer was moderate but noticeable, and it distributed evenly across the lips. They last about three hours on my lips but are hydrating.

Ulta's Diamond and Platinum Appreciation Day 2023 is Today!

Ulta's Diamond and Platinum Appreciation Day 2023 is Today!

An advertorial is written by advertisers and does not reflect specific recommendations or endorsements by Temptalia or its editor.

According to buying trends, sunscreen is one of the top-selling products beginning in April, as people prepare for more time spent outdoors, vacations planned during the summer, and the like. Wearing sunscreen is important for several reasons:

1. Protection from UV radiation: Sunscreen helps to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Exposure to UV radiation can lead to sunburn, premature aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer.
2. Preventing skin damage: Sunscreen helps to prevent damage to the skin caused by exposure to the sun’s rays. This damage can include dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles.
3. Lower risk of skin cancer: Regular use of sunscreen can significantly lower the risk of developing skin cancer, including melanoma, which is the deadliest form of skin cancer.
4. Maintaining an even skin tone: Sunscreen can help to maintain an even skin tone by preventing the development of dark spots and hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage.
5. Reducing the risk of sunburn: Sunburn can be painful and uncomfortable, and wearing sunscreen can help to prevent it. This is especially important for people with fair skin, who are more prone to sunburn.

Featured SPF Superstars

Avene Solaire UV Mineral Multi-Defense Sunscreen SPF 50+ offers broad spectrum protection by using 12% Zinc Oxide as its UV filter. It is supposed to “soothe and calm sensitive skin,” and it is “approved by the National Eczema Association.”

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotic SPF50+ PA++++ is a chemical-based sunscreen that is supposed to “deeply moisturizer” while absorbing quickly without stickiness.

CosRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF50+ PA+++ works as sunscreen but is formulated with aloe leaf to help hydrate and soothe the skin.

Dermalogica offers several products with SPF, with one of their top-sellers being their Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF50 Moisturizer, which is available in different sizes. Per the brand, it is recommended for normal, dry, and combination skin and is touted as a 3-in-1 daily moisturizer that “visibly firms, hydrates skin, and protects.” Its active ingredients include Avobenzone (3%) and Octinoxate (7.5%).

Dr. Brandt Liquid Sun Shield SPF 50 utilizes non-nano Zinc Oxide as its UV filter, so it is a mineral-based sunscreen for those who prefer that type over chemical-based sunscreens.

EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 is designed for those seeking a sunscreen that offers broad spectrum protection but will also help with skin discoloration and acne. It combines 9% Zinc Oxide with7.5% Octinoxate.

ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 offers sheer coverage paired with broad spectrum coverage that uses mineral-based UV filters. The formula uses 12% Zinc Oxide to provide sun protection, while the product itself is supposed to offer a dewy finish that adds moisture to the skin.

Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 offers sunscreen protection for lips while keeping them hydrating. It does so using Octinoxate 7.5%, Avobenzone 3.0%, Petrolatum 40.2%, and Lanolin 13.5%.

Kopari Sun Shield Soft Glow Daily Face SPF 30 is a newly-released product from the brand that is designed to be a glowy, broad spectrum moisturizer that is supposed to work as a makeup primer while being fragrance-free. It includes Homosalate 10%, Octisalate 5%, Octocrylene 4%, and Avobenzone 3%.

Kosas DreamBeam SPF 40 PA++++ is a recently launched mineral-based SPF that includes 21.7% non-nano Zinc Oxide to provide SPF 40 protection. This product touts a “peachy pink” hue to help cancel out the bluish cast from the Zinc Oxide.

La Roche-Posay offers a multitude of sunscreens, including their Anthelios Melt-in Sunscreen Milk SPF 60 that utilizes a mix of Avobenzone 3% (Sunscreen), Homosalate 10.72% (Sunscreen), Octisalate 3.21% (Sunscreen), Octocrylene 6% (Sunscreen), Oxybenzone 3.86% (Sunscreen) to offer broad spectrum protection.

Murad offers several products with SPF protection, including their Perfecting Day Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30 PA+++ which provides hydration and broad spectrum SPF. It features Avobenzone, (2.0%) Homosalate (6.5%), Octinoxate (7.5%), Octisalate (5.0%), and Oxybenzone (4.0%).

Mustelo Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50 includes 80 minutes of sweat-and water-resistance for all types of outdoor activities. It is also fragrance-free, and the stick format makes it very travel-friendly. It has 19.7% Zinc Oxide.

Saie Sun Visor SPF 35 is a mineral-based sunscreen that uses 15% Zinc Oxide to deliver broad spectrum protection, while the formula is designed to l eave behind sheer golden pearl for a radiant finish.

Supergoop PLAY is offered in SPF 30 and SPF 50 as well as in a variety of sizes and formulations ranging from lotion to spray. Their formula utilizes Avobenzone (3%), Homosalate (10%), Octisalate (5%), Octocrylene (7.5%) in the SPF 50 formulation.

Tatcha Silken Pore Perfection Broad Spectrum SPF 35 PA+++ is supposed to have a matte finish and feel weightless. It utilizes a mix of mineral and chemical sunscreens with 15% Zinc Oxide and 5% Octisalate.

Tula’s Protect + Glow Daily Sunscreen Gel Broad Spectrum SPF 30 is available in regular and supersize. It includes probiotic extracts, pineapple and papaya, and is recommended for year-round usage. The active ingredients include Avobenzone 3%, Homosalate 10%, and Octisalate 5%.

Versed is another option for those looking for a mineral-based sunscreen with its Guards Up Daily Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35 moisturizer. It utilizes non-nano zinc oxide (15.2%).

The formula is supposed to have "long-wear" that is "transfer-resistant," "easy to blend, and "light-as-air" with buildable coverage that "is hard to overdo." The pigmentation was more medium to semi-opaque with some shades being nearly opaque in a single layer. For truly buildable pigmentation, I would recommend using a light hand initially or a less-dense brush to pick up and to apply the product. Read more...

Fenty Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick

The formula is supposed to have "sheer" coverage that is "ultra comfortable" that "lock[s] in moisture." It's designed to be something you can apply without a mirror (which just really make it clear that it is a sheerer product), but it does say "buildable" with multiple layers. The consistency was moderately dense in the tube but melted subtly as I applied it to my lips, and it felt more emollient after a few seconds of wear. They felt lightweight without being tacky, and it had more of a light-medium level of slip, so it didn't seem to slide around a lot during wear. It definitely has a balmy feel on the lips but has some staying power (but less than say, an opaque, satin lipstick). Read more...

The formula is supposed to have a “peach-vanilla” scent (I’d agree–sweet, lightly fruity) and be “conditioning.” It was designed to be worn alone or layered over other lip products. The consistency was very smooth, light-to-medium in weight, non-sticky, and comfortable to wear. It had a plusher consistency that helped it stay out of most of my lip lines. The shimmer was moderate but noticeable, and it distributed evenly across the lips. They last about three hours on my lips but are hydrating.

Ulta 21 Days of Beauty Spring 2023

Ulta 21 Days of Beauty Spring 2023

Dermstore’s Beauty Refresh sale kicks off today, March 1st, and runs through March 10th. You can get up to 20% off many brands carried at the retailer using code REFRESH. There are some excluded brands, while other brands are 15% off or offer double points on purchases.

I often use this sale to stock up on more expensive skincare that I need to replenish or to try something that might have caught my eye. My list is shorter this year as I haven’t been consistent with my skincare routine, so I haven’t used as many products up as I typically would by this point. That being said, I just finished Allies of Skin Promise Keeper Blemish Sleeping Facial, which I find really effective for giving me an ultra-smooth face in the AM and will repurchase. I’ll also get REN Atlantic Kelp and Magnesium Body Wash, as husband adores it. I’ll have to take a peek into my skincare overflow to see if anything else needs to be replenished

What skincare are you in need of?
