Beauty Product Reviews
I received this as a gift. I was never intrigued by Too Faced palettes because I didn't like the packaging, that they didn't sell their shades in singles, and that there were bigger highlight shades than the colored shadows. The pigmentation is really nice. The metallic glittery shades don't cause massive fallout throughout the day. I love Bouquet Toss because it cancels out the redness on my eye lids. Soulmates gives a wet look to the eye when layered over other shades. Un-veil and First Dance make great eye liner shades. I just hate that I can't buy my favorite shades individually. De-potting this won't be fun either.
This is so cute. It could pass as a ring. It is great for lipsticks or one full face of foundation. It cleans off quite easily. Just one swipe of a towel and everything is gone. I would definitely look to get a full size palette in the future.
A Great Orange
This is a bright pumpkin orange with subtle gold shimmer. It's definitely a creamy finish. It blots down to a satin finish, though. When I paired it with Prestige lipliner in Poppy, applied 2 coats blotting between applications, and set it with translucent powder, my lip color lasted for 6 hours! I ate and drank through the night. There was some wearing off on my top lip wear my lip ring rubs.
AMAZING
I have the shade Poppy, which is not listed in the options. It's a gorgeous neon pumpkin orange. This liner feels like a matte lipstick. It glides on so smoothly without lip balm. It's completely covers my lips. I would wear this without a lipstick on top. The picture shown has Wet n Wild's Salsa Lessons on top.
MUST HAVE for dark circles!!
I tried this on a whim. This is the best concealer ever for dark circles, summer, and light feeling coverage. I can mix this with moisturizer and get a full coverage face, without feeling like I'm wearing anything on my face. It's the perfect match for me. It covers my hereditary dark circles like magic. With this on, being in natural light and photographs are free of them. I can still see them in bad lighting. This last quite a long time with minimal creasing throughout a long school day. It's definitely worth the hefty price tag.
Summer Glowing Skin!
I love this! I've just recently ventured into highlighting my face, and I got a sample of the NARS Illuminator. This works great! It gives the perfect glow to the skin without looking at all shimmery. By the end of the day I don't notice any shimmer particles traveling in areas it isn't supposed to. It really sinks into my skin. This shade works great with my fair skin too. I thought it was too pink, but it blending into no color pigmentation, just shine. I'll be using this all summer.
Pretty Good
I bought this hoping, just hoping something would work on my waterline... BUT this didn't. It is waterproof. I swatched it, let set, ran it under water, rubbed my finger over it, and it didn't budge. This is a great base, creases less than the Jumbo Pencil in Milk. This will probably work with someone who can get things to stay in their waterline, I just can't. It is on the more sheer side. It does need to be built up. For the price, it being waterprrof, I can't knock it.
My Holy Grail!
I bought this on a whim. I love the OCC conceal, and I loved all the statements behind the product. There isn't any alcohol, fillers, or harsh petroleum that will make me break out. This gives a semi matte natural finish that I love. It gives a solid medium coverage. It covers the redness around my nose, any broken capillaries from migraines, minor acne, pores, and halfway covers any cystic acne breakouts. It stays in place for well over 12 hours. It photgraphs beautifully. I love the lightweight feel. My only issue is, I've had this a little less than a month, I don't apply foundation more than 4 days a week, and my bottle is half way gone. In the beginning I was applying too much. Maybe that is why. Now, I know to only apply a nickel size. It applies well with all my various types of foundation brushes. I love the packaging. It's small compact, not wasteful, although some of the foundation does get caught in the spout a bit. I know it's a tinted moisturizer but it packs some good coverage. This is probably as close to a real BB cream as anyone is going to get.

A good value, lasts forever!
I've been using this since January and I absolutely love it! It doesn't give a flashback in photographs. It helps refine the look of pores. It's a fine milled powder. It feels light weight. If I know I'm going to have a busy day, I can really pack this on and it doesn't look cakey or give a powdery residue. It soaks up the oils without attracting the dry patches I can have on my cheeks. I do notice that when I set my concealer under my eyes with this, it doesn't last as long as the rest of my face. That is something to keep in mind. I also pack on the under eye concealer due to blue veins. I also have a sample jar of this from a kit, it's still half full!! This lasts forever.
