Beauty Product Reviews
I had to wait awhile before reviewing
I purchased this powder several months ago, but needed to wait before reviewing, because I wanted to see how it works across the seasons and different foundations. Overall, it works very well, giving a nice mattifying finish. I have very oily aging skin, and use this powder to "bake" my foundation for oil control. I have worn this powder with Chanel Ultra Tent and with Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin foundation.
Perfectly soft and no shedding
This crease brush has been perfect for laying down color in the crease. It is very soft and sweeps with ease. I have found that WG and Rephr brushes are my favorite - I have WG's original eye brushes from his very first collection - all of his brushes are high quality...no shedding.
Perfect for large crease space
I love this brush. It is soft without being "too soft". I am gradually losing some of my eyelid real estate to aging, but I have a lot of lid space. So this brush fits perfectly to add my transition shade without moving the slack skin in the area. It is my favorite crease brush.
Very good for simple looks
I like this palette for workday looks. I had to get used to the "skin like" finish - I love how the shadows do not emphasize texture. The shadows are also buildable, which is nice change from some of the super pigmented shadows that I've had difficulty using recently. My only qualm is the lightest shade is too light to use for anything other than inner tear duct on my deep tan skin tone.
Wonderful for a peachy glow
I purchased this product at Nordstrom, in person, because I wanted to swatch. I have a deep tan skintone, and this highlight is so perfect. It actually makes my oily prone skin "glow" without looking shiny in a bad way. It does not highlight texture, and seems to melt into the skin rather than simply sit on top.
I'm still learning how to use highlight
I've come late to the highlight game. I am in my 40s with oily skin, and was terrified highlight would accentuate texture and make me look greasy. This brush, combined with the Charlotte Tillbury Lovegasm palette, has perfected my "glow". I don't feel that I'm risking applying too much product - this brush picks up the right amount, so I have control over layering. I first heard about Sonia G brushes from YouTubers, and I'm glad I've given this line a try. This brush is also soft, so you can tell it's made with quality natural "hair" (I guess when you point to an actual goat, the animal has fur - when you put it in a makeup brush it becomes hair).
Removes makeup easily
I first received a small sample with an order. I didn't have high hopes, but decided to give it a try anyway. It removed my makeup a lot easier than my usual cleansing oil. It also didn't make my eyes "blurry" once I wiped it off. The next morning, I didn't see any breakouts or irritation, so I knew I had to purchase a full sized container after that!
Adorable beyond words!
I purchased this to house my loose RCMA translucent powder - it's easier to dip my brush into the container and tap off the excess. It comes with a makeup puff that I've packed for use in travel with a compact. This container sits proudly on my sink for morning makeup application
Perfect glow
I actually purchased the Lovegasm palette in person at Nordstrom - I wanted to test it in person. I'm new to highlighters and haven't used bronzer in years. I'm over 40 and don't like products that show texture - and it seems that so many popular highlighters do just that. But this palette is perfect! You must use natural hair brushes to pick up product...and layer it, which helps control your level of glow and color. I like that I look "glowing" rather than "blingy". The bronzer gives me a subtle warmth rather than the "dirty face" look that I have experienced with some bronzers. And, the bronzer does not have any sparkle - a major plus!
Nice smell and effective cleaner
This product gets my brushes thoroughly clean and has a nice refreshing scent. I use it daily to clean my brushes and I notice I don't use as much product as with other brands.
