Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips

I LOVE THESE!

I really love these. I use them about once a week and I have no complaints. Of course it does hurt a bit to pull it off but each time I do, all the black heads on my nose have disappeared. I'm not sure why it won't work for some people but it's great for me. One thing though, follow up with a good moisturizer if your skin is dry like mone or you'll be left with a flaky nose.

E.L.F. Blending Eye Brush

Not worth it,

I bought the complete 12 brush set and I must say that this isn't exactly my favorite of the bunch. The bristles are very sparse and rough. The roughness didn't go away even after I'd used a really good brush conditioner on it. It doesn't do a really great job and if I try using a bit more pressure, it really scratches my eyelids

L'Oreal Paris True Match Super Blendable Makeup

Extremely fake and mask looking.

I'm an NC25 in MAC foundations and found that W3 was a good match for me. The price is great but the actual foundation is awful! It dried out my skin like crazy and REALLY emphasized flakiness. I have no idea why L'Oreal claims that it's "super blendable". I found it to be extremely hard to blend whether I used a sponge, a brush, or even my fingetips and ended up with a mask-like appearance. Never again will i buy this.

MAC Prep + Prime Skin

I love it.

Okie so I've got really dry skin and no matter how well I moisturized, my foundation would go on streaky or cakey or bring out any flakiness. When i first bought this I didn't think it would make much of a difference but I put foundation on one day without it and omg, i could really tell. It glides on so silkily and smoothly but it doesn't feel heavy at all. You need to let it dry for a minute or so before putting on foundation but I don't mind that. I use Studio Finish concealer which has a reputation for being really thick and hard to put on but with the primer it went on perfectly. I've also noticed that I use much less foundation than I used to before the primer and there's less rub-off. My skin doesn't get very oily (just a small tad on my forehead) so I can't really judge how it does with that but the coverage i now get with my foundation it much more even and smooth. Since it's so silky, just a pump and a half of the primer is all I need to cover my whole face. I haven't broken out from it, my sensitive skin hasn't reacted to it at all,and it doesn't feel like I have a film on my face. The only complaint i have is the packaging. I know that if I were to cut it open once no more product came out, there'd be tons left on the sides of the container just like with Urban Decay Primer Potion.
