Nice light coverage that gives me a dewy finish!

I'm a huge fan of tinted moisturizers and this one by Clinique delivers exactly what I need and want. For my daily routine, I never like a heavy coverage since a caked on face for me in sunlight is no bueno. This tinted moisturizer goes on very smooth (reminds me of Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer) and leaves a nice dewy finish. For any extra coverage on blemishes or dark circles, I use a concealer to cover them up. The packaging is small which fits quite nicely in my makeup bag when I'm on the go.

Adorable packaging but it doesn't pluck for me!

Not impressed with these mini Tweezers at all! I read both negative and positive reviews on this and decided against by better judgement, purchased it (I currently have the normal Slant Tweezerman Tweezers which I LOVE). These tweezers do not grab onto any of my hairs. Since these tweezers are in mini size, they aren't the most comfortable to use (gives my hand a cramp). Maybe I just got a defected pair since you would think a company called Tweezerman would have mastered their tweezers.

Teeny tiny hairs that are insanely hard to pluck? No problem!

A few months back I purchased the mini Tweezerman tweezer and honestly, I was not impressed. It looked adorable but it really didn't do a good job at plucking at anything (and gave my hand a cramp). Just yesterday my Sephora order came in and I purchased the normal Tweezerman Tweezer in pink. Where have these Tweezers been all my life?! I was able to clean up my brows super quick, grabbing onto the tiniest and thinest of hairs. You don't need to squeeze down on the tweezers much at all so plucking is a breeze on your hand. Total win and if these ever dull, I will repurchase them in a heart beat!

Covered my acne & scars flawlessly!

It's been a while since I've used BECCA (since it was sold in Sephora) but I used this a couple of years ago when I had bad acne on my face. I'm a fan of this duo concealer since I could mix and match the shades to match me perfectly. The texture was creamy but with a heavier coverage so it was great to cover bumps and scars. With a very light hand, this covered my dark circles easily too (as long as I moisturized the area first, it wouldn't look cakey). I felt as though this concealer dried up in less than a year but it might have been due to me not closing the lid all the way.

Don't inhale and this powder will do wonders to your congested pores!

A container of the Silver Powder will last you a very long time so you definitely get your bang for your buck. I first mix the powder with a small bit of powder (to make a paste) and swipe it onto my nose and chin areas. After 10 minutes, I use a toner-soaked cotton pad to wipe it off. I can actually see all the gunk poking out of my skin which is pretty gross but satisfying (I know, totally weird of me). I either follow up with pore strips or a clay mask. If I ever run out of this stuff, I would repurchase this in an instant.

Mix and max all the colors for the perfect color to use anywhere on your face!

I was lucky to snag this at IMATS Toronto at a sweet discount. But after purchasing and using it, I would have paid the full amount for this bad boy of a palette. Even though I'm not a makeup artist (just like you Joyce!), I read up on color theory and started to play with all of the colors. All the colors are creamy and smooth so blending is easy as 1-2-3! I mixed the colors to create concealer and foundation but I probably won't be doing it again since it's extra work. I also love using this as an eyeshadow base, eyeliner, cheek color, and lipstick. There are so many different things you can do with this palette, you just need to experiment and try different things to see what works best for you.

Corrector and concealer in one to banish dark circles!

I can't remember who recommended this to me but I loved this product! The salmon color is a great corrector (reminds me of Benefit Erase Paste) and the the yellower one conceals. When I first bought it, both shades were super creamy and easy to blend. By the time I was almost finished using it, it became pretty cakey and dry (I must have also left the cap off a couple of times and dried it out). I love two-in-one products so this was great to use to cover my circles. I pat on the salmon shade first directly on the darkest areas and then pat on the yellow one to even it out. A little goes a long way (like most concealers) so I never had a need to pile this on for it cover what I needed.

Enhances complexion nicely but doesn't give coverage.

The lovely gals of Cover FX sent me a sample of their Skin Tint. This skin tint does not giving amazing coverage so I feel like you're looking to cover blemishes or scars, you might want to pass on this one (unless you mix it with a full coverage foundation). I do love how this gives my face a super healthy glow. The texture of the skin tint is creamy so it's super easy to apply on the skin. I like to use my fingers when using this since I'm just looking to even out my skin tone. My skin is pretty dry so I like that this feels moisturizing and not drying at all. When I need further coverage, I use concealer to cover my blemishes. Sometimes I like mixing this skin tint with my NARS Sheer Glow Foundation, to get more coverage but not to the point where it looks caked on.

Decent lip balm but not the most moisturizing.

I'm a sucker for anything lip related so when I saw a guru raving about this, I had to get one for myself to try (melon). I absolutely love the packaging of this thing. The top always stays securely on and I love how the round balm contours perfectly to my lip. I use this nearly every single night but it's surprisingly not my favorite lip balm in the world. Since it's a solid balm, it's not goopey and doesn't leave a weird film on your lips. But I like my lip balms uber rich and moisturizing which I feel like this particular one doesn't do. But it does leave my lips soft and hydrated but I feel like it lacks that extra oomph. Still, I will continue to use this little balm until I use it all up. I've only tried the melon one which I think has the nicest sweet smell and taste.

Love how this gives me a subtle pinky glow to my cheeks!

Poisietint looks super bright pink in the bottle but once I swipe it on my cheeks and rub it in gently, it gives the most healthy pink glow. I unfortunately have dry skin so I love how this liquid stain goes on super easy and doesn't settle into lines or catch on flakes of skin. When I want brighter cheeks, I layer this first and brush powdered blush on top. I also like using Poisietint on my lips for an extra pinky color (add a lip balm first though since like Victoria said below, it can be drying).
