Great color but very drying

I'm not sure if it happens to be just this shade of the Revlon Lip Butters that are so poorly made because I also have Peach Parfait and I absolutely adore it. The Strawberry Shortcake shade specifically is a very pretty light pink and while I do like the color and color payoff, I can't get over the fact that it likes to cake up my lips and make the tiniest dry flakes noticeable. It likes to settle in the lines of my lips and it just looks and feels terrible online. Unlike the Peach Parfait one I have, the Strawberry Shortcake shade is nothing like what a Revlon Lip Butter claims to be.

Very Softening but Horrible Smell

I won't argue that this is a great product, it definitely hydrates my skin without breaking me out but I can't stand the smell. The consistency of this face lotion is unlike any other I've used before, it's very watery but at the same time creamy, kind of like broken up yogurt. When I smooth it on my face it feels like water but my skin soaks it up immediately. However, the smell is terrible. It has this strong herbal scent that is probably the only con to this lotion. So if you can stand strong herbal scents, then this is a great face lotion, but if you're like me there are definitely lotions out there that do just as good a job without the smell.

Super Moisturizing and Great Color

I really love this specific shade because it's one of the most flattering shades in the collection. The color is a peachy pink with gold flecks and looks gorgeous on. It's also very moisturizing which is great for the winter because the cold weather and wind can be very harsh on the lips. The color payoff is somewhat sheer but the color is buildable and it lasts for about 2-3 hours.

**I believe the shade name is Peach Parfait and not Peach Sorbet

Great Starter Brush Set

This brush kit comes with all the basic brushes you need to begin your brush collection. The quality of each brush is exceptional, the only brush that sheds a bit is the Duo Fibre, and they're easily comparable to MAC brushes. I would highly recommend buying this set if you are just starting out your collection and are in need of face and eye brushes, but if you're willing to spend some more money I feel the Premium Professional Kit is more worth it because you also get a Lip, Flat Definer, Small Tapered Blending, Powder/Blush, Tapered Face, Tapered Highlighter, Large Concealer and Large Fluff for all for only $60 more (and these are pretty expensive brushes).

My All-Time Favorite Drugstore Lotion

This product is my all-time favorite drugstore lotion. Not only is it extremely affordable, it works wonders on dry skin and smells delicious like chocolate. I highly recommend this to anybody who loves the smell of chocolate and is looking for a very hydrating and inexpensive lotion.

Works well but slightly drying

I like to use this product to cover any blemishes and conceal my dark circles; it does a great job concealing my dark circles when used along with Bobbi Brown Corrector. While it works well concealing and brightening, I have noticed that if you apply too much of the product it will start to cake and if your eyes are on the drier side it will start to flake. So you have to be careful to apply just the right amount of product and be sure to moisturize. I apply this product using the built-in brush and blending it in with my ring finger and most of the time I don't have a problem with the caking or flaking. The product is extremely similar to that of Yves Saint Laurent's Touche Eclat, and since they're created by the same person it's no surprise. Overall I'm very pleased with the product but I can't get over the caking and flaking, I like products that are very low maintenance, so I would love to try the Touche Eclat and see if that's any better. I'd recommend this to a person who has the money and is willing to spend it, but if you don't have that kind of luxury I wouldn't splurge on it.

Interesting concept but sheer color

My feelings for this product are mixed. The packaging is very plain and the product is rather small, they're only slightly larger than an average single eyeshadow. I'd also have to argue that the product is not so much "bouncy" as it is airy/foamy. It's kind of like dough where if you press lightly it will slowly rise up again and take shape but if you press too hard you'll end up leaving an indent. As for the color, the shade is a pretty peachy orange but extremely sheer; I also have the shade Pink Frosting which is a light pink and it is just as sheer. It is buildable but it takes so many swatches to get a distinct color and since the product is so small I feel they aren't worth it. While I like the concept of the blush, I'm not a huge fan of the lack of color payoff and small size. I wouldn't recommend buying these unless you're interested in the texture, as it is the only highlight of this product, because there are better drugstore blushes to spend your money on.

Soft bristles + travel friendly!

This was the first Sigma brush I had ever tried and it impressed me beyond belief. The bristles are incredibly soft and have stayed soft after using it for over a month and going through one deep cleaning. Not only is the brush adorable, I have the Princess Grace version because pink is my favorite color, it is also travel-friendly. I took this on vacation with me to Disney World and used it to apply my powder foundation, bronzer, and blush. I think this brush is at the same quality level as a MAC brush, if not better. I would highly recommend this to anybody who is looking for a travel-friendly multi-purpose brush that isn't too expensive.
