Beauty Product Reviews
My HG and still going....
With all the foundations on the market this remains to be my number one. I own multiple shades. And since they reformulated, it did get a bit more tricky because my favorite shade was discontinued. In any case, this is by far the easiest most natural foundation I have used. I feel like i am wearing nothing and my skin looks like SKIN! I do use a brush and beauty blender. And fyi, I do wear SPF and a bit of highlight under, still looks good overtop of just about anything. So all in, this is a true winner.
Great for on the go...
I think this is a nice travel item. Small, effective and easy to pack. I wouldn't buy again only because I think it's a bit pricey. I would prefer it to melt off my skin a bit more as well. All in the formula's are beautiful in this brand but I think they are quite expensive.
Not impressed.
It's nice but it doesn't really clean your skin. It's not harmful nor is it "cleansing" so it falls somewhere in between. It's just too expensive. Like if it was a lot bigger, less expensive I would say yes. But there are so many cleansers on the market that do a good job at a decent price. The formula's are quite exquisite mind you. And pretty. I would have preferred IS Clinical Cleansing Complex over this (although not quite a fair comparison.)
Smells lovely. Very nice. Just feels extremely overpriced for the size. Wouldn't buy again. But enjoyed it.
Phenomenal!
This is an incredible product. It has a bouncy type feel that is so incredibly smooth and hydrating. It's the skins secret ingredient. Make up applies flawlessly. Even for my combo/oily type skin, I almost feel like it controls my oils. I am tempted to use this as my moisture cream permanently....I seriously love this. And I use this on top of my sunscreen for daytime use!! As someone who needs make up perfection this says a lot. Plus it meets my spin class sweat test.
No ordinary colour...no ordinary gloss...
I love love ND's glosses. First, they smell amazing. Like sweet vanilla. The colour bleach is so nice even on my somewhat pale complexion. Gives your pout this really neat effect when used over top a lipstick or liner. I personally don't expect any gloss to last for hours on end so perhaps the fact I have to reapply doesn't bother me. It's really hydrating, doesn't sit in lines or emphasize. And my lips do not get that super dry feeling like some other glosses. I will be buying other colours for sure. The online swatch is accurate in terms of hue, although their is a bit more white/bleach effect when on lips. Anyone who has tested mine, wants one. If that's any indication.
Phenom...Summer here I come!
Shape and shade the contours of your nose, forehead, chin. Or just mix a bit of this with a bit of your favourite bronzer for the all over effect. Or apply to lids for a shimmery, glimmery eye.
I bought the Medium for my pale'ish skin. I know the light is the most popular but ladies do not fear. It's genius. I knew the Medium was unlike any other colour I have ever laid eyes on. So glad I picked this up.
I want to get the light as well. But for now, I am truly in love. Does not feel cheap as it's highly pigmented so be gentle. It's also very rich and soft. Like a little brown sparkly blanket! It stays put as well.
Phenomenal!
Agree with everything Wayne G. (the guru has spoken) just said and have to add that the colour range is very flexible. In terms of shades. I was suggested to purchase a darker shade, normally I would never (being an NC 20'ish) however it is hands down my favourite. Skin has the exact healthy, soft, radiant glow that I've been seeing all around. My skin type in brief: combination/sensitive, pores on forehead and nose/cheeks - the usual. Even toned. This takes care of all that plus, my skin feels amazing. No irritation or leftover annoyances like dry patches. I do think the tube is small, back ups required. And you may wish to mix with an HD for better coverage.
