Beauty Product Reviews

Fantastic coverage and finish!

I absolutely love this foundation! I have oily skin, redness, and visible pores and one half of a pump is all I need to do my entire face, usually without the need for extra concealer! I also find that I do not need to set this foundation with powder to keep it matte/prevent creasing as I need to with most foundations. It has great longevity, lasting over 12 hours on my skin, though I do need to blot after about six hours to keep it intact and matte. I apply it with the Tarte Airbuki Bamboo Powder Foundation Brush, make sure to really blend it in, and it comes out flawless. My only issue is that I wish it were paler in color, the 1 Fair looks far too yellow for me so I purchased the 2 Fair, which is good, but a bit too dark for me. I will however definitely continue to use this product, and hopefully they will come out with a lighter pink shade!

Fantastic mattifying powder

I love this powder's mattifying properties, I have very oily skin and this kept my face shine free for eleven hours! I have tried many other powders, and all have left me shiny after two hours or less. The color looks a bit yellow in the pan but applies perfectly and does not look cakey or off color. The only downside for me, and the reason for the low rating, are the parabens, which I generally avoid. I love this powder so much, I sincerely hope that they get rid of the parabens so that I can repurchase it!

Adorable, well made makeup bag

This is a fantastic makeup bag! It is quite spacious for its size, and the lipstick shaped zipper pull is adorable!The material is a lovely, burgundy twill with rose gold lipstick kisses printed on it, and is a very sturdy fabric. The living is a synthetic satine fabric which is rather slippery, but easy to wipe clean. The interior pocket is a nice bonus, and is perfect for storing smaller items.

Nice formula, warm pink color

As with Nude Kate, the formula seems quite nice, creamy, opaque and smooth. Unfortunately this color too was just too warm for me, appearing as more of a warm, orangey pink. The depth of color was the same as my lips naturally on their lighter days, but sadly it was simply too warm in tone for me.

Nice formula, very warm color

Very soft, creamy lipstick, sadly it appeared as an almost almost orange tone on my fair, cool skin. The opacity is good and the depth of color was good, sadly it was just not my shade.

Perfect natural eye color

I have wanted a natural mauvey brown eye color for quite some time, and on my skin this color delivers just that. It is shimmery, but not at all glittery, and it can be worn thickly applied and dark or blended out and light. It is very creamy so application is a breeze, and it blends out perfectly using just the fingertips. I apply and blend one eye and then moved on to the next because, though it is very blendable, it does set up quickly and is quite long lasting and smudge proof once it does.

Lovely berry color

This is a very beautiful color, and a lovely formula. It glides on easily, and the squared shape of the tip makes application a breeze. The color is a beautiful cool berry shade and looks stunning worn fully applied or thinly applied as a stain, and the matte finish is lovely, it is not a dry as paper matte. It is quite long lasting and feels creamy on, but it can feel more dry if applied on dehydrated lips.

Beautiful natural blusher

This blusher is very natural in appearance, highly pigmented and very buttery. It blends flawlessly, and has a minor sheen to it, rather like a very natural highlight. The swirl and pop application method gives a truly natural flush almost instantly. The only, very slight, downside for me is that the outer ring is ever so slightly too warm for my cool pale skin, however the inner pop color is absolute perfection.

Gorgeous smoky eyeliner

This is by far the best eyeliner that I have ever tried, the application was smooth and creamy at once, even cold. I bought Veruschka Mink which can be applied heavily, leaving a dark charcoal gray shade, or smoked out into a lighter gray shade. It is very blendable but sets quickly and is very long lasting, perfect for a smoky eye.
