Beauty Product Reviews

I am lucky, my acne has never been too terrible but I have never been able to get rid of my zits or red marks once they've shown up…well not until I started using this product! I also use the blemish treatment from this line occasionally. Use this once or twice a week and you will notice a HUGE difference in the look/feel of your skin! Use this as a last step in your nightly routine (I subbed this for my lotion and toner routine). Rub the pad over your entire face and let the oils soak into your skin overnight. Your skin will feel softer and look brighter.

Love how natural looking this blush is! I have fair skin and this gives me enough color to look like I have a natural flush without looking like I am wearing blush. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great blush!

Worth every cent!

I normally use a foundation from Bare Essentials, and as much as I love it, it is not practical to carry around in my purse so I invested in Mac Mineralized foundation in NC25. It is obnoxiously hot today where I live and I am loving the fact that it has stayed on and continued to give me great coverage! Yes it is heavier and the humidity makes it feel heavier than it really is. If you are looking for a foundation with great coverage, light weight, silky feel, and totally natural look then you should look into this!

Best foundation I own!

I was using the pressed powder in the same shade and I have found that the pressed powder works really well in the winter when my skin is dry. I have combination skin and now that my skin is getting more oily due to the summer I have found the pressed powder looks terrible on me. It looks cakey and like I am wearing too much makeup when I barely have any on. So I started using the loose powder and I have found that the loose powder is great for oily to combination skin and the pressed powder is best for dry skin.

Bottom line of this post is that you have GOT to try the foundation (any/all of their products really-specifically their new lipsticks)! The foundation looks completely natural. I look like I am not wearing any makeup at all especially when all I add to the look is some mascara. I bought the foundation as part of their main kit and it was one of the best choices I have made. I highly recommend heading to your nearest Bare MInerals counter and giving it a try!

As an MUA I know about all the most popular highlighters, I have used the highlighter in sin from Urban Decay and High Beam from Benefit because they were the best in my opinion. This blows them WAY out of the water! It has a beautiful color payoff, looks totally natural on my fair skin, and feels weightless! It is the triple threat of highlighters in my opinion. I suggest heading to your nearest MAC counter and having one of the excellently talented women color matching you to the shade that is ideal for you.

I just bought this BB cream and after having tried one from another brand I did not have high expectations. I have to say that it blew me away! This BB cream actually gives you coverage! When I first started looking for BB creams I was looking for one that would provide enough coverage that I could get away without having to wear a foundation on top of it. As a freelance makeup artist I try to take care of my skin by not doing too much with it when I am at school. This BB cream gives beautiful BUILD-ABLE coverage! For me this was a bulls eye and a must buy. It comes in 4 shades, however Tarte does have a BB foundation that comes in more shades. I highly recommend this product.

I love liquid foundations because they are build-able. I was looking for a good pressed powder and found a GREAT one! I love this! I was using the optical blurring brush from UD for a long time but I finally invested in the travel size precision brush, both work so well but the B.E. precision brush gives more coverage. When I use this foundation I do not need to use a coverup and usually do not need an under eye concealer. I would recommend everyone at least go and try this product. I love mine!

First impressions

Ok I have never bought or tried a BB cream before and I decided to try this one because I love everything UD! I was expecting the color to be a little lighter because the packaging says universal shade and being very fair skinned I need the color to match. I was definitely freaked out when I saw the color, but once I blended it in you couldn't tell I had it on. It works perfectly as a primer to hold powder foundation and gives a brilliant airbrushed effect without any effort on my part. It leaves your skin feeling soft, though you can feel that you have it on (their foundation you do not even notice) but over all it is better than I was expecting. Loving it so far!

I was given this pallet as a gift for the holidays and I am in LOVE with it! As an art major and someone who worked as a makeup artist I must say that it blows other colorful pallets out of the water. I can choose from bright, bold, in your face colors and subtle colors that are to die for. There are also a few matte shades that are perfect for highlighting and for blending. The quality of the shadows are fantastic! Granted there are some that are softer than others (specifically provocateur). There are so many combinations that can be made using this pallet that it is perfect for those who are new to makeup and or those who have been creating eye looks for years. I highly recommend this pallet. The colors work for every skin tone because, like all UD shadows, the shadows are build-able! You can use this pallet to create a subtle look for school/work then touch it up later and add drama for a night out look. It is a perfect pallet.
