Second container

I’m onto my second container. I did receive a sample of the good molecules balm cleaner that is sort of similar to this one and I was hopeful that I could give this expensive one up and switch to that but that stuff is comedogenic and was causing me breakouts on my non acne prone skin so I went back to this and nothing compares. This stuff makes my skin so clean and nourishes it as well. It takes all my makeup off and is gently and smells nice. It’s clean ingredients and doesn’t bog up my pores. I love how it cleans all the pollution off your face too.. it’s just amazing. It doesn’t hurt my eyes and I have pretty sensitive eyes and I wear contacts and I’m able to wash my eye makeup off with my contacts on and it doesn’t irritate me at all. I love this stuff. Just wish it was more affordable.

Beautiful

I love this foundation it’s beautiful. It is light coverage which I like because I tend to hate thick foundations .. this one is so light and my skin can breath but it still covers . It’s nice on my normal dry skin too. This is one of my holy grail foundations. I tend to be very picky with foundations and always hate them. So I was surprised at myself for not feeling this way. So def a keeper for me! I paired it with the hollyood filter also and I love using them together as well. Holywood filter under and this on top looks beautiful and glamorous.

Hate

I was hopeful because of all the great reviews and wanted to love it ... I have normal to dry skin and this just looked terrible on me. It’s heavy and gooey. It just looked gross on me. It also accentuated any dry patches I didn’t even know I had. I just felt like I wanted to scratch my foundation off my face all day because I could feel it on me. I paired it with the lumilayer primer which I love but this foundation was a fail for me. I will go back to using my Chanel vitalumiere Aqua foundation which I am not in love with but it gets the job done and I don’t look like nasty yucky makeup monster after using it like I do with this one. So this is going back for sure :/

Holy grail

I love all his velour lippies. My lips have a tendency to dry up badly with the Kylie cosmetic ones. I love them and own many of them but I reach for them rarely because my lips fall apart from them but then I bought the JSTAR mini nude bundle and I used the entire tube of the celebrity skin. I wore it constantly it’s so beautiful in my olive skin tone. I like to even put this in the bottom and layer the mannequin in the center of my lips and they layer beautifully and don’t pill or flake off. My lips never dry out the formula is so comfortable and flexible. Just perfect ... and useable for everyday.

Good

I like it a lot. It really helps conceal my hereditary dark circles from being spaniard/native. Nothing ever works but this does! I have to prep my skin really well before I apply this to help it to not crease and I also set it with a light swoop of hourglass setting powder. I use my Wayne goss holiday 2018 brush to set the powder underneath my eyes and I use very little. It keeps it from creasing too much . After I put this on I put my normal concealer on top then the powder . It really looks great. It does crease especially without powder so I can’t give it 5 stars. There is room for improvement but it’s still very good and I will continue to buy until I find something better of course.

Glass skin is in

This primer is stunning. It gives my skin like this holographic look to it like spectral glass skin. It’s so pretty. I know that sounds strange but it’s beautiful it is different than all my other primers and I own so many. It’s my new favorite. Removing 1 star because it doesn’t hide my Korean on my cheeks but honestly the kind of primers that do do that always clog my pores and that’s just gross. So I don’t want that either. But this one really wakens your skin and gets rid of any lackluster in your presence. It makes me fresh faced, bright eyed, and bushy tailed . I always feel really pretty when i wear it. I have dry/ normal skin and I put a light moisturizer on under it let it sink in then I put this and it holds my foundation all day and looks beautiful . I got a sample from beautylish and I used it up and bought a full bottle after.

Hives and pimples

I used this at night only before bed because I don’t think it’s the right product for wearing under makeup. Anyways, I really wanted to love this with all the great reviews. But my face wouldn’t let me. It broke me out with white heads and hives. It made my face feel sore and stingy. It felt almost like that feeling from a bad sunburn. It also made my eyes swell when I woke in the morning they were puffy and swollen and red from an allergic reaction. I do have mildly sensitive skin. I also couldn’t help but notice but it made my pores look huge! I have always had small refine pores because I baby my skin. But this made my pores look huge as if they were suffocating for oxygen. I only used it 3 days and followed all the instructions. This will be my very first return to beautylish. I feel this product may be over hyped like as if maybe some of the “magic” is purely just like a placebo pill effect. I just hope I can fix my face after the damage this caused me. Depressing! The only thing I liked about it was the smell and color. I will stick to my argan oil and my Shiva Rose Glow Face Balm (which is about 100 dollars cheaper and light years better) Which my skin stays beautiful with.

Worth every penny

This brush is unlike any of my other brushes. I was in the market for a powder brush and this makes my face look like a china doll. I mean it is so soft and when I buff my hourglass setting veil in with this brush it’s the most beautiful finish. It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin at all. It’s simply a magic wand . I’m so happy I splurged I’ll never use another powder brush.

Mood + Dim + Ethereal perfection

I own Mood , dim, and ethereal. My very favorite is mood. Another review said she was very fair and that she didn’t recommend the mood for darker skin tones but for me it is gorgeous. I Almost didn’t buy it because of that review but I was so drawn to the mood one the most and I’m so glad I went with my intuition on that one because it’s my favorite . I love to set my face with the hourglass setting powder veil first . I use my Sonia G flat top face powder brush and I buff it in. Then I take mood light and swirrel it on my face with my Wayne Goss airbrush. I but the dim around my forehead near my hair line and my jaw line as well as my cheek contour area and then I take ethereal and put that under my eyes, chin, lower forehead and top of my nose. So beautiful. For reference I have light/medium/tan skin with olive undertones . I am part Native American part Spaniard so my skin tone is very ethnic and then powders look beautiful on my mixed skin. It’s worth a try if it calls to you.

Simply the best

I have been shopping around for new contour powder. I always use the Anastasia powder contour kit but it just never was just right or that amazing. I love Kevyn Aucoin and own all his books. I wanted to give this a try based on all the amazing reviews and it is absolutely just as good as they all say. I chose medium and it’s perfect for my light/medium olive complexion. It’s stunning and blows the Anastasia one out of the water. This contour paired with the hourglass setting powders and radiance powders and my face is on point and flawless looking. Def recommend my new Hoy grail.
