Everyday Makeup Staple
This product is just amazing. So incredibly natural and light because of the watery texture, it makes it really easy to use everyday. My pores tend to clog quite quickly so I know right away what products I can and cannot use on a daily bases, but I can use this foundation 7 days a week without clogged pores or breakouts. The coverage is quite sheer, but it evens out my skintone as if it really were my natural skin. It gives off a gorgeous, slightly dewy look, so if you have overly oily skin, I would say skip this even though it is water based. I do still have to use concealer over it, but not nearly as heavily. Oh and the smell is HEAVENLY!
The only thing you should be aware of is if you have dry, flaky skin it'll show because of the light and sheer texture. I noticed in the winter months I had to make sure I was well moisturized on my skin because it tended to exacerbate any flakiness or dryness.
Miracle In A Bottle
I have to give huge huge raves to this product and the matching Signature Conditioner. I wanted to make an investment on shampoo & conditioner and chose these 2 products and it has kept my hair super healthy and shiny for 5 months and counting! Yes. It's been more than 5 months and no split ends and no dry/crunchy ends. After I get a fresh cut usually twice a year I make a splurge and this was it. After 5 months, the shampoo is only about half done and the conditioner is about 80% done. Did I mention I have long hair? A little bit of product goes such a long way. A pea size amount will give you literally a full head of lather even with my long hair. Smells DIVINE! Clean and fresh.
I'm completely aware you should not go more than 3 months w/o a haircut, but I've been too busy to head to my hair salon so I had to make a good investment. I've become a devotee to this product and I especially love a brand based in humid and steamy places like Florida, because if they can get rid of frizz in 100% humidity, than I think it'll work for me, for sure!
I'm a little bipolar on this product. I love this palette so so much, but only because I love the shades Pillow Talk and Like A Virgin. I would never suggest anyone to purchase a palette if they don't like more than half the palette, or if your buying a really large palette, that you can actually WEAR more than half. But I seriously love those 2 shades so much that I'm willing to purchase this palette for just those 2 shades because I cant find dupes. Matte/grey eyeshadows tend to work best with my eyes and these are the perfect shades for me!
Thickens Too Quickly
I admit, they have an AMAZING color range which is why I've gone to them so many times in hope that the next bottle will not expire so quickly. But no, it thickens and dries up within just a few months. I like to buy just 1 shade during spring then use that polish as much as I can during that time to hopefully past summer, so at least it'll be sort of worth the heavy price tag.
Couldn't get through winter without it!
I have the daily moisturizing cream w/ sunscreen and it was my savior this winter! Its been really dry in nj so my skin has been abnormally dry this winter. This had the perfect thickness for my dry skin but I can't use it in the summer because it's too thick. During summer I tend to have more combination/oily skin. Never clogged my pores and it always protected my skin from wind and sun.
Winter Must Have
I love this oil, but it's honestly best for winter. It's quite thick, and I already have pretty dry skin but the thickness made it hard to wear if you sweat during the summer. I like to wear this during the winter holiday months when I tend to expose more skin while being bombarded with the harsh nyc air. Does overwhelm any perfume you might be wearing, but it smells amazing!
