Quite hydrating for a light cream!

I have this cream in both the light & the rich versions, & I like both. This one, despite being the 'light' version, is actually very hydrating. It soaks in quickly & works well under makeup. I like to use this one when it's especially hot/humid out, or if I need something a bit lighter when I'm about to do a work out.

Great for lasting hydration!

I have extremely dry skin, & was looking for a heavier moisturizer that would give me lasting hydration throughout the day. Usually with thicker/richer creams I've tried, I'll have this problem where it doesn't really absorb all the way, & sort of 'pills', if that makes sense. This cream doesn't give me that issue. It fully absorbs, quickly, & doesn't pill or make my makeup go on weird. It keeps my face from feeling dry longer than other creams, & I love that it's fragrance free!

Perfect consistency!

FINALLY a liner where I can just really quickly draw on a line, smudge it a bit with my finger, & have what I want! As someone who used liquid liner for years, as I've gotten older I started noticing that it was starting to look a little harsh in photos. I wanted a softer look, but every pencil liner I've tried is either too hard or too soft, to where it'll 'skip', or give too thick of a line, then when I'd go to blend it, it'd just basically come off or look uneven. This is a texture where it glides on easily, but isn't slippery or greasy, if that makes sense. It's super pigmented, & it literally takes me a few seconds to get a nice smokey liner. Yet it also can give you a crisp line if that's what you want. I got it in Rich Hazel, which is a gorgeous very dark brown, almost black. After trying this one, I ordered more of the colors.

A staple in my collection

I have a ton of warm neutrals, but I find myself reaching for this one the most since I got it. The eyeshadows are smooth, silky, & blend very easily. The pigmentation is great, a little goes a long way so this palette will last a long time. I love that they included a black in it, it has just a hint of sheen so it goes on more smoothly than other black shadows, & doesn't have that patchy or 'sooty' feeling, but still functions as a matte when it's on the eye. The shade Sculpture at first I thought would be unflattering, but it's great for making warmer shades more neutral if you don't want a warmer look. There's enough variety of tones that I think this will work on any skin tone

A very luxurious oil!

I know this is marketed as a serum, but I would consider this a facial oil. It's the first oil from a luxury brand I've used, & it definitely is different-a little goes a long way, as it is much thicker than more affordable oils I've tried. So that's something to keep in mind if you're considering investing in this, it will last you a very long time. I have VERY dry skin, & often times I wake up feeling tight & dry, but that doesn't happen with this oil, it keeps me moisturized all night & in the morning my face feels much smoother than it otherwise would. The fragrance, I've heard people compare it to jasmine (not sure if that's accurate, as I haven't smelled jasmine), & while it's different & a bit more fragrance than what I'm used to, it isn't overpowering imo. I think it's a bit thick to use for day if you're planning to wear makeup (especially if you wear a separate spf like I do) over it, however I read one reviewer suggest mixing just a little bit in your regular moisturizer, so I may try that on days I'm extra dry!

Favorite for undereye area

This powder is absolutely gorgeous! Very silky & makes my skin look like skin, which is important to me. I have super dry skin, but since I use really high spf under my makeup as well as BB cream, I do need to set everything so it doesn't slide off. It doesn't make me look too matte or too powdery, & doesn't look cakey as the day goes on. My favorite thing about it though is for setting my undereye area. I find that I don't get that 'scaly' look later in the day in my under eye area that I would using other powders.

A favorite in the GM line

I've tried most of the Good Molecules line & this product is one of my favorites. I'd say if you're only getting one GM item, or just a few & can't decide, get this. It absorbs fast, & I definitely have noticed the most difference in my skin-the overall texture is improved & it just feels smoother.

Doesn't settle into lines!

FINALLY, a foundation that doesn't settle into my forehead lines! I was to the point where I would just not apply foundation to my forehead, as I thought there was just no foundation that wouldn't settle in them. Somehow, this one doesn't. One thing though that I've found with this formula is that since it's not super thick, when you first apply it, it doesn't seem as full coverage as it actually is until it sets. So that's something to keep in mind so you don't apply more than you intend to. If you like a Nikkie Tutorials-esque extreme full coverage, it's not quite that full coverage, bit it is buildable. You can also sheer it out quite easily if you're looking for less coverage.

Been sleeping on this!

Based on photos & videos, I thought this palette was just ok, nothing special. Having it, I'm seeing how wrong I was & it's been one of my most reached for palettes. The color story is perfect for any occasion or season, & has a great variety of finishes. The mattes blend beautifully, & the shimmers & metallics are really unique. It takes me no time to do a look with how easily they blend. The only things I'd suggest being careful of with this is not vigorously swirling your brush into the mattes, as they are very soft, & also you can have some glitter fall onto your cheeks when applying some of the shades, so it may be best to either do your eyes first or use shadow shields.

One of the best liquid lipstick formulas

I pretty much wear liquid lipsticks exclusively if I wear lipstick, so I've tried A LOT of different brands! This has been one of my favorite formulas for years now. It's lightweight, comfortable, transfer-proof (unless you eat something oily, but really no liquid lipstick will stay perfect when it encounters oil) dries down completely, & doesn't flake or bleed. I also really love the type of doe foot applicator Jeffree uses-it's fatter than many other brands, but it has this sort of curve to it that makes it so it's easier to apply, & since it's softer, it doesn't leave streaks. But even though it's a fatter applicator, the tip of it makes it easy to be precise-my lips aren't totally symmetrical, so usually applying lipstick takes some time, with having to overline one side, then going in with a tiny brush dipped in foundation to clean up the edge. However, with the type of applicator on these, I often times don't even have to do that & it takes less time for me to get the application I want vs. other brands I've used. I have at least a dozen different colors, & they've all had great pigmentation, & I love how Jeffree has a great variety of both nudes, everyday colors, & the more 'crazy' colors as well, many that are quite unique. If I had to pick a couple must have shades, I'd say Androgeny, I'm Royalty, Scorpio, & Saggitarius.
