Beauty Product Reviews

Odd...

A small amount rubbed lightly over my hair's surface works really well to tame flyaways and add texture and thickness to my style. Any more than that and I have a limp greasy mess. Contains iridescent particles but does not add shine. Elastic? No.

Best Blush!

Precious is a lovely pale peach blush. Very pigmented but diffuses easily with a brush or a sponge and has a satin-matte skin finish. Not greasy at all. I also own Embrace and Reverence. All three are stunning on my pale cool-toned complexion. Love Kjaer Weis!

Perfect!

A rich elegant red. Does not bleed or dry the lips. Classic glam.

Lovely!

Melts into the skin. Beautiful buildable highlight. Shatters easily though so I would not carry it in your hand bag...

Drying

The product offers modest "style memory" provided it is not humid out. But my hair feels dry and looks dull. Adding F-Layer only weighed it down and solved nothing. The original R+Co line is much better than anything I have tried from the overpriced Bleu line. I'll stick with that...

Over-priced detangler...

Does not pair well with any other R+Co OR R+Co Bleu product, even when applied sparingly. Leaves hair soft but limp and dull. Disappointing and a terrible waste...

Affection - Shade Description is Off.

Affection is described as a "faded raspberry" but in the real it is a warmish coral. The swatch on the site is off. It applies a bit patchy, which is odd for these lipsticks. It does build up though. I own several other shades of this lipstick and they are quite excellent...

Creamy and hydrating.

This shade is not quite as pigmented as other shades I own in this lipstick. But the color is true and the formula is a favorite - very emollient, comfortable to wear, no feathering.

Not up to the usual standard...

The product is fussy to apply for a stick foundation. Avoid using a brush if you have any surface dryness. It went on much better with a freshly cleaned (thoroughly-blotted!) sponge but you'll have to keep going over areas where creases form until it sets. The finish is a nice satin-matte with medium coverage, but it's not as elegant as TF liquid foundations. I don't use primer but it plays well with chemical sunscreen. It doesn't like powder much but it doesn't need it. It wears well with minimal touch-ups once it's in place. If you have oily skin this might be quite good for you. For the price, I'm underwhelmed...

Love!

I'm on my third purchase of this duo. The blush is pretty and buildable. The highlight is a little extra without the disco ball effect. It suits my cool-toned pale complexion. This duo is great for traveling as well: blush and highlighter on one small compact. I took a star off because formulas are a bit soft and crumble easily. This compact is travel-friendly but not purse-friendly.
