Beauty Product Reviews

An excellent dupe for a very expensive baby facial...

This exfoliating treatment really packs a punch! I'm so glad I tried it, as it'll save me the money I've been spending on a popular but much pricier product. I will say that this formula is bare-bones, and a good moisturizing mask or oil immediately after rinsing does wonders for recovery. Highly recommend The Ordinary's Rose Hip oil as a follow-up.

Disappears on my skin.

I have very fair skin; in nearly every foundation line, I wear the lightest or second-lightest color. This blended away to absolutely nothing on me. I tried building it up, blending it with a sponge, a brush, and the applicator on the product itself, and nothing worked. I am no stranger to cream contour, as my favorite contour of all time is Becca's Lowlight Sculpting Perfector. This one does nothing.

Highly wearable, but if you want pigmentation, look elsewhere!

My makeup style is leans natural. I almost never wear bold looks (the closest I'll get is a smoky eye on a special night out). This palette has been my go-to since I bought it when it launched. The colors are beautiful, they're smooth and need very little blending, and they are idiot-proof-- there's almost no way you'd put too much on. I can put on a daytime look that'll make my eyes sing in one minute flat, or spend some time and really smoke things out, and for that, I find it versatile. This is not a Natasha Denona palette. You will not get any pops of color, and the colors require building, but I appreciate that. The important thing is they're not patchy or powdery. This is for the no-makeup-makeup person, the K-pop beauty junkie, or the person who doesn't feel at home in their makeup skills yet.
