Physicians Formula always has the prettiest packaging but too bad that's the only good thing I see in their line. Their products are really high priced for a drugstore and their powders lack pigmentation. This one is no exception. There's no fallout at all but at the same time, my brush is left with only a sliver of product that's not easy to build up on my brush. Once I managed to build this up a little bit, this bronzer was too orange.

I applaud Lorac for trying something new and coming out with a new wand that no one else has. However, the wand was difficult to use at first but with a couple uses, I now realized the most effective way to use it. The flat tip does a wonderful job getting all my lashes on the outer corner that's more difficult to reach. The curve is not useful at all since it doesn't curve in a way that would reach my lashes at all. The formula doesn't smudge or clump too bad. It is a little bit more watery than Lorac's Pro mascara. It doesn't volumize or lengthen well but does a great job at separating. I wouldn't repurchase since it was just a blah mascara for me and not that memorable.

I don't know why everyone is raving about this. I felt like it did nothing for my oily skin. I spritz this on after all my makeup and by an hour or so, my face looked oily. I liked how this dried fast and the smell is pleasant but that's about it. I currently use it as a primer like the Smashbox Primer Water and it works so much better! I can feel the spray matting up my face and absorbing all my oil before I layer foundation on top. As a primer and this after all my makeup is done, my face stays matte way longer.

I bought this since I'm not too fond of foundation. Foundation tends to make me break out. This product is like a face moisturizer plus foundation in one so I wouldn't have to apply the extra step of foundation. It gives a nice even coverage and gives me SPF 15, something my facial moisturizer doesn't have currently at the moment. I like how this gives me a nice glow without looking too shiny and doesn't leave my skin greasy or anything. It gives more coverage compared to the other BB creams I've used without being too heavy on my face but keeps it moisturized for long hours. I also like how the product is thicker compared to all the other watery almost foundation-like BB creams. If you want a more matte finish, just apply a little bit of powder on top and you should be fine. I bought this in the light/medium shade and this was just perfect! I get many compliments on this every time I put this on. I've tried many other BB creams and for some reason I ALWAYS come back to this one. Considering the price and the size of the bottle compared to others that are ridiculously overpriced for a teeny bottle, I would say this BB cream is the best. I got this at Ulta for $10.99 and with the $3.50 off coupon if you spend $10 or more I only got this for around 8 bucks so it was a pretty good deal.

I was lucky enough to get this for $18 when Ulta had their sale because I was not about to pay $34 for a primer. First of all, this applies smoothly and dries matte which is perfect for my oily skin. However, even with the color correcting properties in this, it did little to cover my redness and hyperpigmentation. This has a very light coverage even when I tried to build it up. For a $34 primer, I'm expecting it to do something for my skin instead of just making it silky smooth.

This was $13 at Target but I was lucky enough to get it on sale for $9. It's still kind of pricey though for a blush that's comparable to the Maybelline Dream Bouncy blushes. I did find that these had better pigmentation and staying power than the Maybelline ones but not by much. I wish L'oreal would offer a better color range since all the colors on these blushes were shimmery and I would have wanted to try matte colors instead. I love how these aren't greasy and they dry to a powder perfection like the Dream Bouncy blushes. This blush for the price didn't blow me out of the water so will not repurchase.

I like these way better than the EOS balms. First off, I find they are more hydrating and they definitely taste good. They have a sweet taste. I have this in the mint flavor and it leaves a tingly sensation on my lips. I also like the texture better too. It has a thicker cushiony consistency so it stays longer on your lips without slipping and sliding around too much.

When I think of a mask I think of something that you rub all over your face and after a couple of minutes you wash it off. I don't see why the instructions say to wet your face first before applying. Doesn't that just make it a cleanser? Anyways the concept was weird and I did try to use it as a mask by wetting my face first and waiting five minutes before rinsing but the product just slips around and got into my eyes. I love the citrus smell of this and I do notice my skin becomes glowy afterwards. It leaves my skin soft but also rubbery at the same time. Will not try again.

I didn't really like this moisturizer. I hate moisturizers that feels really heavy and rubbery on the face. And this does exactly that. The beads in here are not that grainy so you don't worry about it exfoliating your face too much and it pops and melts into your skin. I use this the night before and the next morning I felt an underground pimple on my nose and cheeks so suffice to say this isn't the product for me. It might be good for really dry skin people.

I wanted a good glittery lip gloss that I can layer on top of my lipsticks or use alone sometimes. This is pretty good for that purpose. I like how it's glittery (not shimmery) but the chunks of glitter aren't too chunky to the point where I can feel them on my lips. It's super slick and not sticky at all. These kind of reminds me of the same formula on the Covergirl Wetslicks lip glosses. They are slippery to the point where they move around a lot so I would have liked for the formula to be a little more thick and cushiony.
