I put this in beauty because it's makeup and skincare but I'm sorry if I'm wrong!

I got these samples with my Sephora order (yay, KVD Mi Vida Loca lip set!) and I'd love to know what you all think of these products!

First is the Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer, which I'll probably use the shade Fairly Light Neutral in this packet since I buy my concealers in highlight shades.

Second, Smashbox Photo Finish Primer. I've heard this is a dupe for my much loved NYX Photo Loving Primer so I'm excited to see if that's true or not!

Lastly, the Origins Original Skin Retexturizing Mask With Rose Clay. I'm sure you all know I love their Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask so I'm really excited about this mask, it seems interesting.

Any opinions or reviews on these products would be greatly appreciated!

I love smashbox primers! Normally, I use the pore minimizing one, but I like this one too.

The sample packets...use a push pin to poke a hole in it so you can maximize each sample and not have them dry out overnight. :) I didn't like the finish/texture of the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer. A little amount goes a long way from past experience with it. It didn't do much in keeping my makeup in check and after two weeks of wear I started breaking out...not bad but enough for me to say no more.

Those are awesome samples! Did they come free with your purchase or are they point perks? I did not like the primer either, I've got dry skin and I found it made my foundation look so patchy and flaky :(

Okay so before I give my opinions let me tell you that my skin type is oily/combo and acne prone and sensitive - the smashbox primer I absolutely hate! It makes skin feel so itchy and irritated I just can't stand it and it makes me break out... So I hate it... The tarts concealer is just okay for me... It's not really creaseless IMO - if you use too much it can still crease on you - and I find the colors are already lighter than normal (I got the medium shade n it was too light for me) so I really only use it as a highlighter but since you will use it that way then you may like it - but getting the product out of the tube is a real hassle at first when the product is brand new - it wasn't until after a few months of having it that it softened up I guess and now it's easier to get out.
