Givenchy Prisme Foundation

Small and expensive but very lovely

I like how this gives a medium matte coverage but it doesnt absorb oil as well as it claims. Its great that its customizable as I use the lightest shade to brighten the under eye area and then I blend the 3 darker shades to even my skin tone. The price for this is ridiculous considering the foundation is 2x2 - VERY small. It comes with a sponge underneath the compact which I dont use but comes in handy if i decide to use it when I'm on the go. The only con is that it is very perfumed but it goes away.

Bourjois Petit De Guide Style

#14 Mauve au Croquer

I got this as part of the Pretty in Paris set. I love how small and compact it was. The magnetic closure is great too (one of my favorite style of closures). This is great for on the go because it has really appropriate applicators with a built in mirror. However, I tend to use this at home so I like using a brush for better application and blending. The shadows are very silky and pretty highly pigmented. The combination is also great to bring out brown eyes.

Philosophy The Supernatural Multi-Use Natural Hair Brush

Best all in one brush

Wow this brush is so great! I've only used it for 2 days but I've already ordered a second one! The brush is so dense and it really helps my foundation cover and blend all my imperfections. For spots that need concealer, I cover with concealer and then i stipple more foundation on to cover the concealed spots. I love using this under my eyes with a lighter powder. It instantly brightens and covers my dark circles. And finally because its so dense, it really reduces flyaway and waste. I use a lot less powder foundation because of it! Absolutely fantastic at $25. I wish I bought it when it first came out!
