Formula is good but color is not

I love the formula for this liquid lipstick, smell is not strong and goes away immediately after it dries. The only thing I don't like about this range is just personal preference. I find the color range to be somewhat limited and does not fit my light-medium skin with yellow undertone. I find this particular color shows up too pink for my skin color even after I use foundation. Again this is just color preference, in terms of the formula, this is the only actual liquid to matte lipstick that dries completely and is transfer proof that doesn't exaggerate lip texture. Amazing formula, I will look out for colors I can use.

The best eyeliner brush!

First I want to thank Beautylish for the fast shipping, I'm in Canada and this package got to me on the third day after it has been shipped! I think I got my package within a week after I placed my order. It seems to me Beautylish's service just gets better and faster over the years.

About the brush, I'm going to buy 2 or 3 more to use for different applications. This is how much I love this brush! It is very soft for use on the waterline, and it picks up more product than my other brushes. I love the look and feel of the handle, how the brush feels soft but firm enough for application. Just everything about this brush is perfect! I know some people have said this is smaller than they thought. But to me this is the perfect size.

In the photo the small white brush is the Mac 219 and the black one is this brush. Photo is blurry but just to show size comparison.

Extremely pore minimizing but too finely milled

This powder is my go to for a reliable look. It really does minimize pores like crazy, and it does not create a white cast once your skin warms up to it. I have the pressed version as well but for some reason the loose version has less product but lasts way much longer. It does not do any oil control like the Laura Mercier powder. But the LM powder's main ingredient is talc and can look cakey if I'm not careful. So I only use Laura Mercier when I know I need my look to last all day without touch up. The It Cosmetic one doesn't do oil control but it doesn't make me more oily like some people claimed. It just creates a smooth surface for a perfect skin look and make everything else go on very seamlessly.

Soft and seamless blend

This is my first real hair brush. This brush is incredibly soft and blends beautifully. I have to admit, when I first got it and applied on my face I thought I spend all the money just for soft brush hair, because it doesn't blend as nice as my Ecotools or Real Techniques brush, and those are like $10. But after I washed it, and I started use the brush in a circular motion, the payoff of my blush came out beautifully even.

I don't have any issue like floating hair. My brush didn't shed at all which I really appreciate. My only issue with the brush is that it has little to no weight on it, which I prefer some weight on my brush. But I guess if I use a blush brush in circular motion it's properly better for me to have a light weight brush.

I would recommend buying the brush soap from Clean Apothecary here. I always use the beautyblender soap for all of my brushes. But I can tell that real hair brush is not going to work with that soap because it is somewhat drying. I just thought since I spend so much on the brushes I might as well spend on the brush soap to keep the lifespan of my brushes longer. If the beautyblender soap is drying for my hands it's not going to work well with real hair.
