Love!
I looooove this product! I've looked for an eyeshadow that gave a glossy look for soo long, but every product I ever tried that had the word, "gloss" in the name or description, ended up just being shimmery or glittery, which is not at all the look that I was trying to achieve. This, however, gives you a beautiful, glossy finish, and I can feel happy knowing that not only does it look good, but it's also good for my skin! It does crease, however, but it's so easy to remedy this by just smoothing out the crease every once in a while with your finger, and that minimal effort is well worth it. I recommend this product to anyone who isn't too peeved by some creasing, and wants to get a pretty, glossy finish; and I HIGHLY recommend the entire RMS Beauty line to anyone, especially those who are trying to live an all-natural lifestyle!!
Love!
Another excellent Anastasia product! Definitely easier to use than the brow genius, use to do light application, while still being able to build the intensity if you want a bolder brow.
Natural
I have this in the shade, Smile, and it's such a pretty coral-y pink color that leaves a gorgeous, glowy and natural blush to my cheeks. It's an amazing color for my skintone, and I could see it looking stunning on any skintone, really. It's sheer, so you don't get overpowering amounts of color, yet buildable if you are trying to achieve a more dramatic look. Plus, the creamy texture of it just melts into your skin and blends so beautifully, while it hydrates so you don't have to worry about it clinging to any dry patches you may have. It's also pretty great that it's a 2 in 1 product, making it not only versatile, but also freeing up some space in your makeup bag. And the fact that it's a natural product makes me love it even more, so you don't have to worry that you're slowly killing yourself with all the toxins they put in conventional makeup everytime you apply your blush lol All in all, this is an awesome product with the only downside being the high price tag.
Feels Like I'm Not Wearing Anything At All
I have tried many different powders, searching for something that kept the shiny bits in the t-zone of my combination skin matte without drying out the normal/dry spots of my face. I have had so many problems with other powders from looking really cakey, to not controlling oil, to being too drying, to them irritating my very sensitive skin (I have Lupus, and it causes many products to break me out in a Lupus rash). I've found powders that made due, but I was never fully satisfied with those products overall. That was until I started using the RMS "Un" Powder. It's perfect for me, remedying every complaint I've ever had about previous powders. It is light, and feels AND looks like I don't have anything on my face, it controls the shine on my t-zone all day without making me look cakey or flat, aaand it doesn't break me out or accentuate any dryness I may have on my face. Another plus is that since it is completely translucent, I don't have to worry about matching my shade, aaaand I can share this with my mom (who is full African American, so she's darker than I am and she has a dry/normal complexion) and we both end up with perfect, and very natural finish.
HG PRODUCT FOR SURE!
This stuff is AMAZIIING! I'm so in love with it. I've been currently trying to switch the majority of my cosmetics over to natural/organic products due to all of the recent studies that show how many toxins and chemicals are used in popular cosmetic lines. I purchased this hoping that it would at least be as good as my original go-to concealers (Givenchy Mister Light Pen, Bobbi Brown Corrector, and Nars concealer stick), and ended up finding that this concealer is not only comparable to those highend products, but that it's actually better! It truly does look like a second skin...soo natural, as well as brightening. I'm not sure how well it would work for those with acne or very dark circles or scars, as it is not the thickest concealer ever, but to me, it's perfect. I definitely have found my holy grail concealer thanks to RMS, and I will never go back to conventional brand concealers again!
YLBB
Definitely a, "Your Lips But Better" HG product if you are med/tan skintone like me! Not only is the color gorgeous but it has pretty great staying power, and minimal transferring. Perfect!
Love!
This stuff is so great. I love the color, and that it gives such a natural tint to the lips and cheeks. It's great for bringing life back into your face when you're sick (if you're anything like me and get super pale when you're ill) aaaand it lasts. Plus, the gel consistency of the formula gives you a little time to blend before it sets, so you don't end up with random streaks. Definitely want to try to pick this up in Prom Queen at some point.
So sad they seem to have discontinued...
This was the BEST eyeliner I have ever used in my life! It not only stayed, but it didn't smear, run, fade, transfer, or leave me with panda eyes. The only thing that was tricky about it was getting it off, but that little hiccup was totally worth it! I wish they'd bring this back!
Waterproof brows? Why yes, thank you!
This stuff is pretty amazing, I must admit. It definitely stays put! You have to be careful because it's very easy to go too heavy with this product, but as long as you use a steady, light hand, you end up with natural looking brows that last. Another thing that is great about this is that my shade (Medium Brown) has a more ash/neutral coloring to it as opposed to strong reddish undertones - which I absolutely HATE, but seem to be in many brown brow products. There are only two downsides when it comes to Brow Genius, first of which is that the color selection is extremely limited, as in there are only two shades to choose from - both of which are fairly dark. Even the one I use, which is the lighter of the two options is a pretty deep shade of brown, so I don't think that this would give blondes and redheads a very natural look, which sucks because the pencils and powders from Anastasia cater to almost everyone, and I think they should definitely consider doing the same with Brow Genius. Secondly, it takes some time, due to the fact that you need to mix it to your preferred powder to gel ratio, and also because application takes precision in order to have natural looking results; so if you're in a rush, this wouldn't be the best product to reach for. However, when I'm short on time, and am in a hurry, I just grab my Brow Wiz pencil (in either Caramel or Medium Ash), apply, and I'm good to go and out the door. All in all, I've never tried anything from the Anastasia line that I didn't love, and I definitely recommend not only this, but the Anastasia brand!
