I've never been into powder foundations so I wasn't sure I was going to like this. The only reason I got it was because of the countless good reviews so i was curious. Surprisingly I really like it! It's not like most powders at all, usually it's kind of noticeable when a woman is wearing a powder, but not with this. This is very smooth and so natural looking, it's like my own skin but better! I used to break out all the time so i would constantly look for full coverage foundations, but my skin has actually cleared up a lot so it doesn't bother me that it's not full coverage. Anyways I find that I can build the coverage without it looking cakey, maybe not to full coverage but at least medium coverage. I like to apply this on top of Urban decay prep spray which helps control the oil around my tzone and i apply it with my real techniques expert face brush. This is definitely a foundation that I can wear on a daily basis because it is so natural looking that I've actually been asked if I was wearing any makeup because my skin looks so great. I loved hearing that! I have worn this foundation to work for 8 hours, and even after that long the foundation stayed put. And lately I have been very careful about what I put on my skin so I have only been into makeup that is natural, so I love that bareminerals is all natural and healthy for the skin. And the fact that it has SPF is also a plus. Now this foundation is not matte, it definitely gives you a slight luminous glowy look which I don't mind because its subtle. So If you prefer a matte look, this is not for you, but luckily bareminerals does have a matte foundation which also gets great reviews. I'll admit it is a bit messy since it is a loose powder, but I just love the look it gives my skin too much to be bothered by that. So overall I really like this foundation, it is definitely my new holy grail, it is a bit pricey around 27 dollars but its well worth it!

These brushes are great multi taskers! They are light-weight and don't shed at all even after washing them multiple times. This set is perfect for travel. Each brush is so soft and perfect for blending in makeup.. The Foundation brush can be used for foundation and concealer, although I prefer to use it for concealer more. The Powder brush is perfect for powder, blush, bronzer and I especially love to use it for my original bareminerals foundation. The Eyeshadow brush Is great for applying eyeshadow and I have even used it for concealer and it works well for that too. The case is awesome to protect the brushes and It can be folded back to make it stand up. These brushes are also inexpensive I believe I got them for around 17 dollars at ulta. I have no complaints about them!

This moisterizer is pretty good as far as moisturizing goes. It's creamy, not greasy, not too thick, it spreads smoothly, absorbs well, helps with the dry spots, and I like the fact that it has SPF. As far as brightening and evening out my skin tone? I'm not sure it does all that, I've been using it for a few weeks, maybe after a little while longer I'll see a difference? It's around 16 to 17 dollars so it's not too expensive so overall it's a descent moisterizer.

I wanted to love this since it's organic but it was just too thick making it hard to rub all over my face and it actually makes my face look more pale then it already is. I like other products from this line but this just didn't work for me. The only thing I really liked was the cucumber smell.

This stuff really amazed me! I really needed something to control the oil around my t zone because any time I would put foundation on, the oil would seep through making it look blotchy. So an employee at ulta recommended this, and I'm so thankful! It really does what it says! I use as directed, I put this on before applying moisterizer and foundation, and it feels great on my skin. It makes my skin feel so fresh and soft. It sprays evenly all over my face, and it will give a nice soft glow to my skin. Not only that but i have noticed my pores are smaller! Also this truly does control the oil. With this on, I no longer get oily around my t zone, and it really makes my foundation last longer. It is a bit pricey around 33 dollars, but since it work so well, it's worth it!

I really didn't expect to love this mascara so much! It gave me everything that I was looking for! The packaging is beautiful, I love that rose gold color. But the most amazing thing is the brush, it's adjustable to allow you to customize the shape of the brush to your liking. It's such a unique but brilliant idea! The formula is great too, it's a little wet and feels a little heavy at first but once it dries up, it's perfect. This actually holds the curl in my lashes well, the brush does a great job at separating, lengthening and volumizing. I wear this all day and it does not smudge or flake on me. And on top of that, it only cost me around 8 dollars at Walmart. I honestly have no complaints. Great job Drew Barrymore!

I'll start off with the pros....I love that packaging, it's very cute and girly, I love that it has a pump, I easily found the perfect color for me, it was easy to apply, blended in nicely, wasn't cakey at all, and it feels very light. That seems like a lot of pros right? Unfortunately though the cons weight out the pros. So now the cons..first off, a little does not go a long way with this, the coverage is extremely light, I had to use a lot to even get a little bit of coverage. Also, i guess this gives a very dewy finish. Which may work fine for a person with dry skin but I get oily around my t zone, And immediately after applying i noticed how shiny it was around my t zone. I definitely needed to put powder around my nose and forehead. It is not long lasting, and I had to keep powdering and touching up throughout the day. Even with a primer it didnt last all that long. I feel bad about this review, because I did want to like this foundation, I do really like some other products from this line, but this just didn't work for me :(

I got this foundation after seeing countless great reviews and now I'm writing another great review! Now for the past year, I've been careful about what I put on my skin, so I've been searching for cosmetics that are paraben and fragrance free. So that's why I wanted to check out this foundation, and I'm so glad I did! I'll start with the packaging, it is so pretty! I love the black flower design, It looks a little edgy but elegant at the same time. I love that it has a pump, and a good one too, it dispenses whatever amount you want. Now on to the formula, it is very very thick. I actually thought it was going to feel heavy, but it didn't at all, it blended in well and didnt feel cakey at all either. I can see that this foundation will last me a long time because a little really goes a long way with this, just one pump was more then enough! This stuff is seriously pigmented. My skin is not all that bad, but i get a little redness on my cheeks, some darkness under my eyes, uneven skin tone, and get a blemish here and there, and this covers everything! I dont even use a concealer its that good! Some people complain about the scent, but it doesn't bother me all that much, it smells a little like paint, but it is fragrance free. I tried applying this with a beauty blender, and then with a flat top brush, and personally I liked the brush better. The color matched my skin pretty well, although this summer i got a tad bit darker, so what i did was just add a little more bronzer which worked fine for me. Now this did last me all day, the only problem I have is since I get a little oily around my t - zone, the oil seemed to seep through the foundation, specifically on my nose, and it looked kind of blotchy and separated after a couple hours, so what I did was apply a prep spray from Urban Decay that is oil absorbing, before I apply my moisterizer and foundation, and that really helped, I didn't get oily at all, which in turn made the foundation last even longer! I don't actually wear this everyday because I don't need to look that flawless on a daily basis, but it's something I like to wear when I go out. I got this for 34 dollars at sephora, which I admit is pricey, but i can see this lasting for quite a while since i use so little each time i apply it, so I think it's really worth it!

I got this as a sample from total beauty and I have honestly never used a primer, so this stuff was amazing to me! It really does cover up pores so well. I put this on, then apply my usual liquid foundation and the pores were gone As if I didnt have any! It applies so smoothly and Its a nude color, you can't see it or even feel it on. The only downfall is the price!

I really love this! I got it as a sample from total beauty and I'm glad I did. It's smooth, creamy and light. It really helps my eyeshadows last and prevents them from creasing. This has a nice slight shimmer so even when I'm going for a natural look and am not planning on wearing eyeshadow, I can just put some of this on and it's subtle and brightens up my eyes.
