Beauty Product Reviews

Another great product from The Ordinary

I have been using this twice a week for over a month now and have really seen a difference in the overall brightness of my skin. My mother even made a comment the other day about how great my skin looked without any makeup on. I am going to be buying her a few products from The Ordinary to try out and this will certainly be included!

If you are not used to strong ingredients use this sparingly though as it could cause irritation. The Ordinary's products are pretty darn strong so work your way up to using them if you have to in order to avoid irritation.

If you have breakout prone skin, this is for you!

This product is wonderful for breakout prone skin. I tend to breakout around my skin and my front of my cheeks and since I have been using this I haven't broken out at all! The price is incredible as are the ingredients and the overall quality. I will be purchasing this product again and again.

Awesome primer

I was a little skeptical about this primer based on the name and was expecting a thick gloppy silicone gel. I was pleasantly surprised when I first used it and realized it is more of a lotion texture and doesn't feel heavy on the skin like most silicone primers do. I have combo skin and this really does help lock my foundation into place and keep it matte much longer than a different primer or a foundation by itself. I will certainly repurchase this!

Great night time vitamin c treatment

I have enjoyed using this product at night. Because it is water free the powder stays a little gritty on the skin for about 15 minutes and that is why I have chosen to use it at night instead of in the morning. If you have sensitive skin you may need to mix this with a plain moisturizer as it does have a strong tingle. I do recommend this though and would certainly repurchase

Effective and a great price

Buyer beware: be careful when using this product because it is really strong. It didn't tingle or sting when I put it on but it's now 3 days later and I am still peeling. I think I will only be able to use this product once a week which is fine as it obviously works. I am excited to see the difference in my skin after being able to use this for a few months. I would recommend this as long as you don't have ultra sensitive skin and if you aren't used to strong ingredients you may want to start with the 5% version.

Ok, but not great

I would like this product if it wasn't packed full of silicones. Think Smashbox photo Finish primer as far as texture. I am not even sure how the retinol can penetrate your skin since silicone doesn't absorb into your skin. I won't be repurchasing this product but will try the 2% retinoid from this brand instead.

Quickly has become a favorite

I LOVE this mask (and my husband does too!). It feels really nice on and the smell is pretty nice too. When I rinsed it off my skin felt SO soft and looked amazing. I noticed the next day that my makeup went on really easy as well. I cannot wait to continue using this to see the prolonged results.

Perfection

Listen up neutral eyeshadow palette lovers, this palette is for you! Viseart uses high quality ingredients and they have their formulation down to perfection. You get a lot of product in this palette and can be used on a wide range of skin tones. The shadows themselves apply and blend like a dream too. I really can't think of a single bad thing to say about them.

Takes the guess work out of foundation

I LOVE the CoverFX custom cover drops because it takes the guess work out of foundation. I can easily create my own by mixing in a primer or moisturizer or add a little extra coverage to an existing foundation. I also use these to adjust the shade of existing products and it works like a charm. The only fail is the packaging but I have transferred mine into airless pumps because it is a lot less messy and I feel like I waste a lot less product. I would love for CoverFX to come out with this product in a pump!

Great blush palette

This is a great blush palette and would be awesome for travel. There is a matte rose, brighter pink with coral shimmer and a warmer bronzey shade. You can easily pick up one shade or mix and match to create a custom shade for the day. I will be buying these as XMas gifts because I think it would suit everyone on my list. They blend great and are very well pigmented too
