This product was really weird. One week super super pigmentation and it looked wonderful. Reapplying the balm every of often (or balm of your choice) really does help. However the next week, dry. The pigmentation was gone. Wish I could recommend this but you'll never know if it'll be dry the next week. =/
A Little Goes A Long Way
I've had this sucker for almost a year and with daily use, it does not look like I've used much. This is a Full Coverage concealer that is very easy to blend and with amazing staying power. The concealer comes in a squeeze tube, so it's perfect for those clean freaks. Speaking of packaging the container is also very sleek and perfect to travel with. No bells and whistles to deal with.
The only fault I can find is that it's on the pricy side at $24 at Sephora, only a couple dollars cheaper than the MUFE Matte Velvet Plus foundation.
Also, just as I said for the Quick Take: A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY.
Super easy to use and blendable
Purchased this item at a Cosmetics Company Outlet (CCO) and found that there were a lot of shades to choose from. I use the Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Sand and found that this product is very easy to use. I simply use my ring finger to apply this under my eye and it's done in a flash. No effort is was needed. I also use the Pale Yellow sheer finish loose powder that the concealer comes with and whatever the concealer hides, the loose powder is there to brighten up the area without being too shimmery. I never have an issue with this product caking into my skin. Definitely worth the money.
The only complaint I have is that both sides are really hard to open and when the product does open, you're almost setting yourself up to gouge it. USE EXTREME CAUTION AND VIGILANCE IN OPENING THIS PRODUCT.
Natural but not my favorite
This has a very sheer pink flush when I blend it into my cheeks but feels a bit sticky on my cheeks. This has a very nice citrus smell. I like how it looks but...I can't seem to love it.
One of my favorite drugstore primers.
This is on the pricey side of drugstore primer, but it also goes on clear and has a velvety finish. This gives a smooth base for your concealer and foundation. I also like this primer since it doesn't have spf which is great for those events that'll have flash photography.
If you can get past the sparkles
Medium coverage and has a light consistency. More on the pricey side of drugstore foundation. Now personally I don't think the sparkles is that bad swatched and in the bottle. However, I found that it's a nice dewy finish on regular days, but if it's a bright sunny day the sparkles seem to appear more glittery than normal. But the upside is that you really do look amazing in photos.
All-in-all if the dewy/sparkle finish doesn't bother you this foundation should be good.
Good Summer Foundation
One of the first foundations I used way back in high school but I've recently come back to it. I use Medium 2 in Pure Beige. Since it's 50% water, the coverage is light and makes for a nice alternative to Tinted Moisturizers over the summer. Since there isn't any SPF in this foundation, it would be ideal for parties, clubbin', and weddings because white casting won't be there. I agree with Whitney H. I haven't seen this foundation in any drugstores or Ulta lately so I don't think this is sold anymore. I was actually able to find this foundation one random day at a Big Lots.
It's perfect in anyway possible
It's everything I wanted UDPP & TFSI should be. I've had it for over a year and I have not experienced separating like with TFSI and it doesn't have that stupid packaging that UDPP had (I know it's changed but it's too late and I've already converted). It's slightly thicker than TFSI and UDPP,and I've applied this at 6am and accidentally rubbed my eye at night and my eye makeup is still flawless.
It's a good $18 investment.
Also, I'm almost out and I'm due for another tube, but I'm squeezing that stuff out like it's toothpaste.
Depends on if you REALLY like the Shatter Design.
While OPI's Black Shatter nail polish has been really popular, you should really think deeply about purchasing this item. I honestly think this design is awesome. Paired with pinks and reds makes it look like an awesome leopard print design BUT I know people who just purchased it and immediately regretted buying it because they felt that it ruined the polish. That's the only disclosure I'll say. Also make sure you also put a good top coat on top of the polish so it lasts longer.
As long as you're good with these, you'll love this polish.
