Smells nice, does nothing for my lips.

I have the Honeydew scent and while it smells great, it does nothing to moisturize my lips. This just feels like wax on my lips and once it wears off, my lips are super dry again. I do like the container and the shape of the balm, though and the smell and taste are pretty great. It just doesn't moisturize at all.

This was the first tinted moisturizer I had ever tried, and it worked ok. It smells like sunscreen for sure and it does leave that shiny look that sunscreen does. I always needed to put a powder on top of this because it was just too shiny alone. It's just a basic light coverage tinted moisturizer, and there are much better ones out there!

This is what a tinted moisturizer should be!

I love that this has a great coverage but still feels light like a tinted moisturizer. This doesn't leave me looking shiny like some other TMs have. It just blends into skin and stays put all day. I love that it has sun protection too, so I don't have to worry about putting anything on underneath or on top of this. I just throw it on with my fingers and go if I'm in a rush.

This came in my Flawless Face kit and I'm thoroughly unimpressed by it. It comes out like a white lotion and does nothing to make my skin feel prepped for foundation. It just feels like an extra layer of nothing on my skin. I'm used to primers that smooth out my skin and hide pores and fine lines, but this is more like a lotion. It also has an odd smell, kind of like a pool.

Amazing!

I got a sample of this a while ago, and I was totally shocked that this is silicone free! It applies smooth and smooths skin like a silicon based primer. It feels just like the Smashbox PhotoFinish primer, but this doesn't have the chemicals and heaviness that the Smashbox one does. It helps makeup last all day, and it keeps my skin looking smooth and poreless!

I bought this during the $1.20 sale, but unfortunately I got a shade that was too dark for me at the time. Now that I've gotten some sun, the shade matches perfectly. I like this powder, but I hate the grinding mechanism. It is very difficult to get the right amount of powder without getting too much. It also makes the packaging very chunky and heavy. The powder is nice, I typically use it over my liquid foundation to set, so I'm not sure about coverage, but it does work well as a setting powder.

After trying Sheer Matte and absolutely hating the formula but loving the color, I decided to go ahead and try Sheer Glow. I have a very oily t-zone area, and I thought that this would probably just accentuate the oiliness and look horrible on my skin. I was totally wrong! This foundation has great coverage and looks natural (if you get the right color). I was surprised that it lasted all day on my skin without just sliding off. It definitely doesn't look matte, and I was certainly glowy, but it didn't look oily on my t-zone at all. The only downside to this foundation is the fact that it doesn't come with a pump! I hate having to pour out just the right amount.

I really did not like this foundation at all. I have an oily t-zone while the rest of my face is normal, and I thought this would help with the shine I get around my nose and forehead. Firstly, this was very difficult to apply. It feels dry and heavy and you have to blend fast because it dries very quickly. After a few hours, my nose looked shiny and my cheeks looked powdery. It just didn't work for me at all. I liked the coverage, though and I loved that the color actually matched my skin very well. It just wasn't the right formula for me.

Totally deserves the hype!

I was super skeptical about this foundation because it had been so highly praised on YouTube. Often times some products are just made to seem more than they really are, but this is different. This lives up to every great review it has gotten! It literally melts into your skin and looks completely natural. The coverage is light/medium, but you can easily do two coats of it to get totally medium coverage and it still looks natural. When you rub it between your fingers you can feel how silky smooth it is and how it just melts into skin. It looks as though my skin was covered by a second layer of perfect skin, but it isn't heavy at all. This is something I will be using forever, it better not get discontinued!

Perfect blush base, highlighter, and lip color!

This truly is a multi-use product. I love using this as a highlighter on my cheekbones and building it up on my cheeks to either wear alone or underneath a blush. It works on eyes too, but you'll need a primer at least and a powder on top helps keep it from creasing as well. On lips, it leaves a pretty, shimmery, soft pink color behind and looks GORGEOUS underneath a shimmer-free gloss.
