Sold on this product after just one use.
I got this in a "try me" kit I bought. I bought the kit so I could try the Balance and Brighten (which I love) and wasn't really looking to replace the current concealer I use. After just one application, I'm sold on this concealer. I used just a tiny bit under my eyes and blended it on the apples of my cheeks (where I have large pores) and around my nose (where I have broken capillaries). This product completely concealed everything and with the Balance and Brighten over it...my skin is flawless. Today has also been a scorcher here in central Florida and the concealer has not melted off or moved. I'm buying this again.
My new favorite foundation!
I have a love/hate relationship with my Bare Escentuals foundation. Love how it feels and how it performs but hate the mess it leaves all over my vanity. I'm always wiping down powder. I've been wanting to try Laura Geller's products for a long time, simply because the product looks so lovely in the pots...all those delicate swirls really appeal to me. Yesterday evening I just bought a try-me kit that contained a mini Balance and Brighten, Spackle for the face and The Real Deal concealer. I'm wearing all three today and LOVE it. Balance and Brighten has made my skin flawless. It's lightweight but has great coverage. I'm going to buy the full size on my next Ulta trip this weekend.
Not very "foaming" but still "fabulous".
I'm not loyal to any one cleanser but I do have my favorites and this one is quickly claiming a spot on my fave list. The exfoliating beads are so gentle that I can use it with my Clarisonic. I've been using this about every other night (alternating with Philosophy Purity Made Simple) for a few weeks and love how smooth it leaves my skin without feeling tight and dry. I don't mind that I'm not getting any foaming from this cleanser, perhaps it's because none of the cleansers I'm using now are foaming. I'm not a fan of the pump dispenser, although it makes it very easy to dispense a small amount on my Clarisonic, I much prefer packaging in which I can stand it on it's top so as to get all of the product out. Nevertheless, I will purchase this again once I run out.
Luxurious but not super duper thick
I have body butters from a different brand and this one by Bliss is not as thick as the other body butters but it is equally hydrating and softening. Quick absorbing and non-greasy. And the fresh fragrance of lemon and sage is a nice pick-me-up.
Rich color that LASTS
Aqualine is my favorite color in this liner. The color is intense and after it dries it does not budge at all. In fact, if I'm spending the day poolside, at the beach or at a theme park, I'll skip all eye makeup except for a quick line of Liquidlast on my upper lashline and by the end of the day (rain or shine) it's still there. Couldn't give it a full five stars because I'm not 100% pleased with the brush. When you pull the brush out there is always an excess of product not only on the brush bristles itself but also the base (inside handle) of the brush, I end up either having to wipe that product off or using a separate brush to apply the product so I don't end up with it all over my lashes.
A little let down.
This product does matte my oily t-zone and it is great to wear under or over foundation; however, it is not long lasting at all. In fact, I still have to touch up with finishing powder as much as if I didn't use it at all. That disappointed me with this product. I ended up not using it much at all after the first couple of weeks and just kept it on hand for a quick touch up before photos because it does matte down instantly and doesn't show up in a photo.
Beautifully pigmented at an awesome price.
This is my go to palette if I'm in the mood for a neutral eye. The colors are nicely pigmented and easy to blend. It's very smooth, almost creamy and not chalky at all and the black color can be used as a dry liner and shows up quite beautifully. (not crazy about the big logo on the top of the palette, but that's easily taken care of with a blast of spray paint). I will be purchasing the other palettes and gifting a few to my sister and sister-in-law. :-)
My new favorite primer!
I typically use Urban Decay Primer Potion and Too Faced Shadow Insurance to keep my eye makeup locked down and both products work extremely well for me. I purchased this one from Lime Crime and this is an awesome product. No creasing, sweat proof (I applied it on my brows too to keep my brow powder in place because it's about a million degrees outside now) and I was able to blend my eyeshadow easily when I applied this. The reason why it's my new favorite primer....I'm a sucker for a pretty package and this comes in a VERY pretty package. I will buy this again and will be gifting this to several ladies in my family soon.
Great value and great performance!
I purchased this yesterday on impulse while I was picking up a few things to send my sister. I figured, for $3.00, if it is horrible I'm not out of much cash. I bought the one in Coffee (as I already have a HG black liner) since my Coastal Scents gel liner in brown needs to be replaced. I applied it today without any base nor did I "set it" with a brown powder after I applied it. Six hours later, it has not faded one bit nor has it smudged or transferred to my crease line (as usually is the case with other cream liners for me). I didn't care for the brush it came with, just too small to handle well (for me), so I tossed the brush and used my own. This liner is very creamy and glides on easily. On my next Target run I'm picking up the rest of the colors.
My new favorite brush!
I have been drawn to and purchased other EcoTools brushes strictly because they are an eco-responsible company. I bought this brush in hopes that I could use it to apply my Bare Escentuals mineral foundation and it has exceeded my expectations. Not only is there minimal packaging (too much packaging always makes me sad), it held up the shape when I washed it before I used it. It's very dense and soft and when I used it to apply my foundation...perfection. It blended my foundation flawlessly.
Environmentally responsible company, amazingly low prices, wide range of brushes....will absolutely purchase additional brushes.
