Beauty Product Reviews

Feels good and smells good

I like the smell and the packaging is really nice. The feel, at least for me, is a tiny bit sticky when you put it on but it doesn't leave your skin feeling this way. I have dry skin and it doesn't make my face or my fingers dry when I apply this. I don't really think this makes my makeup last longer, at least I haven't noticed a difference, but it does help my foundation go on nicely and I like that it has things in it that are good for your skin. It does wake my skin up and transitions me from that just waking up stage to that ready to go stage. I'm not too much into trying to get my makeup to last longer because I don't have that problem, I don't live in a place that's hot and humid or always raining, but I do like things that make application easier because there's nothing more frustrating than when your foundation is caking up and not blending right especially when you have some place to be.

Good with patience

Ok let me start off with a story about these. I misplaced my eyelash curler one day so I used one of my sister's super cheaply made ones and cut have my eyelashes off. I wasn't too upset because I knew they'd grow back but still, it looked really weird. I honestly wasn't very good at applying full strips of eyelashes at the time but for some reason I could apply individual ones just fine. I used to work some place where my hours could be from 10 in the morning to 9 at night or later and I needed something that would not bother my eyes and that would stay on. These take a little bit to get used to and some time to put on but once you get it they look so much more natural than most full strips of eyelashes. They are a little less frustrating too because you don't have a big strip of glue coming at your perfectly done eyeshadow. That's just for us girls who haven't exactly mastered the fake eyelashes yet. These stayed on really great and you can save them just like you do normal fake eyelashes, you just have to be a little more delicate.

Perfect shade and easy to use

I like to use this when I'm running out the door because I can easily get the coverage I want with my beauty blender and very quickly. I have dry skin and this plus the beauty blender makes my skin feel dewy and refreshed. The only complaint I have is that I can't really use it on my eyelid area because it will crease even with powder so I have to add an extra step and I'll usually use my pro longwear concealer instead which never creases. If I'm doing an eyeshadow look I will usually do this anyway but if I'm just running out the door and I'm going to pop some brown in the crease I don't feel like adding an extra step and rather just use my foundation to give me the coverage I need in my eye area. The foundation looks very natural and the P10 color is perfect for my extremely fair skin. You can layer this effectively for more coverage but what I really like to do is just do one layer and then use it to spot conceal any blemishes or extra redness. Sometimes I use this as a concealer when I'm using other foundations, too. I have purchased this foundation twice now and I have owned a lot of foundations and rarely repurchase because I am so picky. Very easy to use product which is something I have learned to love because on some days I just don't feel like going all out on my makeup or I just woke up and I really, really want to go get a coffee but I don't feel like looking like a zombie.

Contour

I've been going through a cream stage lately and trying a bunch of new cream products out and I figured I would give this a try because I've only ever contoured with powders. I really, really love this. The color is perfect for me and I have extremely light skin so sometimes products that I intend to use for contouring can be kind of intimidating. The texture is very creamy and it blends very nicely. I squish my beauty blender together and hollow out my cheeks with this or I use my Itahake brush when I want to get really precise. I like that I can also use this as an eye shadow as well. They have lots of colors too and some of them are good for blush and lips as well. Not sure I'd use this color as a blush or lip stick but it's cool that you can :)

Great coverage, great finish, easy to use

I like to use a few drops of argan oil and a few drops of the foundation together when I use this. I have pretty dry skin and I like that I can make this dewy or matte depending on the products I mix it with. I have some acne scars and sometimes I get a breakout and I've always been really frustrated with how none of my foundations would cover up the redness of a blemish but this one covers perfectly. I wish I had this when I was dealing with a lot stronger acne because that was a really frustrating time trying to get something that worked for me. I like that you can customize your coverage from just making it a basic tinted moisturizer to making it into a full coverage routine. I like to apply it with my beauty blender and then just use any left over to spot conceal any extra redness because it works better than any of my concealers as well. I have very light skin with pink undertones and P20 worked pretty well for me. I wish they had a P10 option but it's nothing a little highlighter (and by that I mean basically a white shade of something, lol) can't fix.

Love

This is great for between washing brushes. I have a lot of multiples for my eye brushes so I could always have a clean one, but now I just spray this on whatever brush I just used, twirl it around in a paper towel until there's no more product coming out and I've got a clean, dry brush to work with.

Works great

This works great, I love the packaging and it smells really nice. It takes my makeup right off. However, it really is just virgin coconut oil. I read reviews saying you can't get this in store, but I've got a jar that's about 15 times bigger than the jar I bought here that's organic virgin coconut oil and it works exactly the same - plus I got it on sale for five dollars. So I'm not sure what is different about this product compared the organic stuff you can get at the store.
