Beauty Product Reviews

I really love a good cushion foundation, especially in the warmer months, and this one is no exception. Using the included sponge, you can tap the product on for medium/full coverage, or swipe it on for more of a sheer/light coverage. In both cases, the product applies and blends so easily, and the formula has such a gorgeous luminous finish that I find lasts all day (I do set my under eyes and Tzone with powder.)

Unlike some of the other La Mer products, the scent of this foundation is light and fades quickly. I do notice that my skin appears more hydrated and plump after using this product and because of the added skincare benefit, I imagine the effect will only become more noticeable over time.

The price is truly decent when you consider that you are getting two of the inner compacts, $60 each is comparable or even less than some other higher end foundations.

The Perfect Cleansing Balm

I love a good balm, but some formulas I've used leave a greasy residue on the skin and/or leave a weird oily film in your eye that makes your vision blurry. This Instant Cleansing Balm does neither! I was so pleasantly surprised to see that with a little water, the lightly scented balm truly does turn into a gorgeous, milky cleanser that totally melts off all of my makeup, including my eyeliner and mascara. The best part is that it fully rinses away and leaves absolutely no greasy feeling at all, just clean and hydrated skin. This is also the only balm cleanser I've tried that doesn't require a double cleanse. Perfection!

Believe the Hype!

Just wow! I've never felt so strongly about a blush in my life, but this product is everything. This formula blends like a dream and feels so creamy and lovely, and this shade is perfect for giving me that "i just worked out and I'm also a beachy goddess" look. The matching highlight shade looks awesome blended on top, or even alone on the nose and brow bone. A great product from Cover|FX!

Not for everyone, but perfect for me!

I took the plunge and purchased The Problem Solver and I have to say it was a great investment. This mask arrives in powder form in a gorgeous heavy glass jar and there is enough product that I can imagine this lasting a very long time. I mix exactly one tablespoon of product with just under one tablespoon of water and use my finger to mix until a thick foam forms. I typically use this mask twice a week on the nights I wash my hair because it's quite messy to remove and I prefer to just wash it away in the shower.

This mask is pretty intense and I would not recommend it if you have aversion to strong scents or high concentrations of actives because The Problem Solver brings both. I personally love the fragrance which is a sort of spicy licorice, and I love the strong warming sensation felt upon application.

This mask immediately makes my skin feel silky soft and dries out any blemishes I may have, and works wonders preventing the hormonal breakouts I tend to get. I look forward to the results I'll achieve with continued use!

Super soft, no shedding, and the perfect size for setting my makeup. Another reviewer on the UNITS 110 likened it to the Sephora Pro brushes and I'm inclined to agree- for me, the quality surpasses my Morphe and Sigma brushes. The handle feels weightier and is a bit shorter, which I love because it gives more control, and the bristles are much silkier. This purchase was a great introduction to the UNITS brand for me and I will be adding more to my collection!

What a nifty brush- and for $5 to boot! I've had issues with eyeliner brushes being too fat or the bristles too splayed, but not this one. This brush is perfect for both tightlining and for creating the perfect sharp wing. I also love that the handle is on the shorter side which makes handling a breeze for fine detail work.

Versatile and Amazing

I bought this on a whim because I like the other RCMA powders I've tried and I'm so happy I did! The texture is exactly the same as the No-Color and Translucent, i.e. super finely milled and perfect. Using alone as a highlight gives a gorgeous, gleaming but still natural effect, but the real magic for me is mixing a little of this in with my Translucent powder. Using this mixture to set my makeup creates a perfect sort of lit from within glow and really helps my under eyes look bright and awake.

The pore blurring effects of this primer are not as drastic as I was expecting, however this gel is amazing for keeping my problematic Tzone matte all day long! I struggle with keeping my face looking dewy and fresh because I typically end up getting some breakthrough oiliness by mid afternoon, but when I use this gel under my makeup, my skin stays matte (but not flat!) and lovely. The texture is wonderful and this gel glides on smoothly with no pilling. And I love the inclusion of the little gold flakes!

Farmacy is quickly becoming my favorite skincare brand, and with products like the Honey Potion it's no wonder why. The honey scent, the gorgeous consistency, the warming effect, and the almost instantaneous results are sure to win you over. My skin felt immediately and deeply nourished and balanced after using this mask and I can't wait to use it again.

Oh and shout out to the clever magnetic packaging- no more lost spatulas!

Treat Yo'self

The La Mer Cleansing Foam is truly the Rolls Royce of facial cleansers and provides an experience, not just a face wash. The packaging is weighty, and the cleanser itself is a gorgeous seafoam green color with a light oceany scent that makes me feel as though my bathroom is a spa retreat. When mixed with water, it creates a thick luxurious foam that feels more like a moisturizer than a cleanser but somehow leaves my face completely clean and prepped for my serums and treatments.

Also of note, you only need the tiniest possible amount of product so this will last a very long time!
