Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Matte Bronzer

Loved it but too dark.

I love love loved this product, super pigmented, fine, goes on smooth, blends well, but it was too dark for my extremely pale skin. :( I would recommend this to anyone with a non ghostly skin color though. ;)

Urban Decay Naked Skin

HG foundation.

I am completely in love with this foundation. It has a natural finish (you can't even tell I'm wearing foundation, it just makes my skin look naturally flawless), has a light yet buildable coverage, and stays on all day. I can use one coat of it and it evens out my skin nicely, while still letting my freckles show (most foundations cover them up completely), and I can build it up where I need more coverage. After setting with a powder, my skin feels baby soft. One thing I would say, remember to moisturize and prime before using this, it is a little drying. I have dry skin myself, so these steps are important, but I use it on my mum, who has oily skin, and it works perfectly for her with nothing under it. A+ would recommend.

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

LOVE

This is my favorite eye primer in a tube. Works better than Urban Decay. The only thing is, it has a slightly strange smell, but that has never bothered me. A+ would recommend.

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

So so.

I found this BB to be completely average, not special. I have super dry skin, and not only did it not really help to moisturize it, the lightest shade was a little too dark for my pale skin, and the coverage it gives is minimal. Not a fan.

Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman Expert Face Brush

Love it!

This is an amazing face brush, I actually like it better than some of my Mac and Sephora brand face brushes. It's amazing for my Naked skin foundation and the Revlon colorstay, as those are both quite liquidy and hard to find good brushes for. Adorable, soft, and blends really well!
