Beauty Product Reviews

Not hydrating enough :(

Starting with the good bits first. The packaging is stunning and given how much it's rolled around in my bag plus my grimy hands, it still looks white and pristine. Also not lying about how delicious it tastes.

Really wanted to love this but it's somehow left my lips drier than they already are?? Maybe it's just me so if anyone's reading this, would really appreciate recommendations for a truly hydrating lip balm / oil (packaged in a tube) for these chapped, dehydrated lips

Good things can come in small packages!

Case in point, the Kevyn aucoin creamy glow duo. The reviews definitely helped me mentally prepare myself for how tiny the product actually is. But holy moly this tiny thing really packs a punch.

I've used my fingers to apply it. A beauty blender and a sponge too.

For the past two weeks, though, I've been using my elf small stipple brush and, personally, this has worked out the best. I dip the side of my brush into the sculpting shade, apply it under my cheekbones and stipple it upwards. Do that twice on each side then I do the same for my nose, spritz my urban decay setting spray all over and I'm all set with a natural-looking chiseled face. And I kid you not, this stuff lasts throughout the day. For something more dramatic/an evening look, I layer a powder (contouring) product over top and I'm good to go.

Powerful performance and a pretty packaging? Holy grail indeed.
