1. The Coty Airspun Loose Powder. It's pretty good. It has a nice, smooth texture that does a good job of mattifying my face. It's a very fine, translucent powder, which is what I like. I bought it because of GlamLifeGuru on Youtube; she absolutely raves about it. I'm inclined to agree, as it is a nice product, relatively cheap, and comes with a ton of powder in the packaging. Fortunately I'm not the kind that has to take powder on the go, because the packaging is pretty bulky. Besides that, though, I'd say it's as good as my MUFE HD Microfinish powder. All around great product, available at drugstores.
2. NYC Color Wheel in Pink Glow. Not the first NYC blush I've purchased, but definitely one of my favorites. It's a nice mosaic pattern that you swirl your brush in, and it comes out as a sheer dark pink. I'm a fan of these blushes in general, they're nicely pigmented and blendable, not to mention the excellent price! I recommend this for sure, it's a good blush and it's buildable.
3. The Too Faced Lip Insurance Primer. I was excited to try this because the Shadow Insurance is one of my favorites! This is supposed to prevent feathering and promote the longevity of your lip products. I wore it today under the Urban Decay Shame lipstick (what better way to test it than with a really dark lipstick?), and it definitely prevents feathering. I usually have a feathering problem with the Urban Decay lipstick (if I don't use lip liner...I forget a lot), but this prevented it altogether! It kept the color strong and bold for my school day, and through eating. On the other hand, it does make my lips feel a bit dry (even though I thoroughly moisturized my lips beforehand with my new Bite Agave Lip Mask!), and I spent a solid amount of time debating how I felt about that. My conclusion is that it's worth it. My lips aren't actually dry, and the tackiness of the primer lets me know that my lipstick isn't going anywhere. If the feeling of dry lips completely grosses you out, though, I wouldn't recommend this product. It does do what it promised, though, and keeps lipstick where you want it.
4. The Anastasia Brow Powder Duo. I know so many people like this product, and it's supposed to give natural looking full brows, but I'm simply not a fan. It's nicely pigmented, but I found it to be very chalky in texture and hard to apply. Once I applied it, it did give a nice, natural effect, but it was simply too much of a hassle to apply. That was weird for me, as I've used matte eyeshadow to fill my brows before, and it was easier to apply than this brow powder! I wanted to like this product, I did, but it was simply an unappealing texture to me. I know that people love this, but for me, it was a huge miss. Nothing too impressive.
