Beauty Product Reviews
Works well
I really like this primer. I find that it makes a difference with all types of lipsticks although in my opinion matte lipstick will dry out my lips no matter what. I usually wear a lipstick that’s not too moisturizing and not too matte and this product makes the application smoother, helps with preventing feathering and makes the color last longer. If I don’t use it, I can tell.
4 Square size
In case this is helpful to anyone, I purchased the 4 Square size and it fits 4 non-Inglot eyeshadows generously: 2 Tom Ford and 2 Viseart. I prefer this size palette for shadows over the Z Palette Small size, which was much too bigfor 4 eyeshadows. I agree with other reviewers the Inglot method of using magnets to secure the lid seems a bit too much, but if tightly securing the lid is important, this is for you; I like the Z Palette lids which have a much softer closure, but still prefer Inglot for the size.
How to unscrew the top of the bottle....
I love this product but The Ordinary should have explained how to dispense the product - the plastic applicator tip unscrews to allow the product to flow through the applicator. The tip does not come off. Hope this helps lessen frustration with a really good product!
Beautiful indeed
My neck and decolletage absolutely love this oil and it makes a big difference. My skin soaks it in, it leaves a luminous (but not oily) finish and the fragrance of light rose is lovely. I have some sun damage on my chest so I wear concealer over the oil and the finish is very nice. Unfortunately, I can't wear this on my face, my skin is super sensitive to breakouts and this product didn't work on my face. For my face, I use Vintner's Daughter, the only serum/oil I've found that doesn't make me break out. Regardless, a beautiful product and at almost 2.2 oz., a generous amount of oil.
Nice quick lip color
I've used other lip balms in a pencil style and while I love the convenience, they always seem to leave my lips dry (the opposite of what they're supposed to do). This balm leaves my lips nicely hydrated. The pencil makes application really easy, it didn't feather, and the Cherry color is just as it appears on Beautylish, bright and shiny. I probably won't use this when I want a precise, sophisticated lipstick but I will keep it in my purse for quick and easy access when my lips need a pop of color and moisture.
Intense in a natural way
My eyelashes need all the help they can get with volume, length, color. My eyes are deep set and it is difficult to reach all my lashes with mascara. This coats every single lash but doesn't leave them gunky and clumpy. My lashes appear longer, fuller and darker, just as promised. It didn't flake and removed easily with my oil based water proof eye make remover. Excellent.
Spendy but sublime
Just when I think there can't possibly be more beautiful eye shadows out there, Beautylish introduces me to this. These shadows are just elegant, I was a bit concerned some of the shades might be too shimmery (I prefer a more matte shadow) but I would describe the finish as a flattering "glow". They apply fairly sheer but build easily for more intense color. I've put away my other shadows, this is IT.
Really nice
All eye pencils are not created equal. I took a chance on this because there are several good eye pencils out there, but this is the best I've found. The Ebony color is a deep, dark brown. I apply in short strokes on both my upper and lower lash line then blend lightly with the smudge end. It creates a more precise line than a lot of softer pencils but that is what I want. It has better staying power than my other pencils. Love it.
Beautiful Powder
This powder works very well on my combination skin. I don't wear foundation, just a little concealer. The powder works to absorb oil in my t-zone plus it provides a matte, light finish on my skin. I don't touch up during the day and it lasts. The tint is very subtle.
Lovely
Using this oil makes my skin looks great even without foundation so I obviously love it. If you have very dry skin I'm not sure if this would provide enough moisture on its own, but it works well with my combination skin. So far it hasn't made me break out, which is unusual - almost everything does. Not crazy about the scent, but it dissipates quickly.
