I've been using Tarte Cheek Stain in True Love for a couple years now. Although I thought it was expensive at first, each container lasts for a very long time (well over a year and I use it every day!). The color is vibrant, but you can tone it down or add layers of color for a brighter blush. It works perfectly on my olive skin tone.

This is my old faithful concealer I’ve been using for a few years. It has an easy and clean applicator and the moderately fair color blends well with my skin. It provides fuller coverage for spot correction. It also has the lowest price for the greatest quantity of product and it lasts for a long time.

This concealer was an immediate favorite for me. The color FBI was a perfect match for my skin. I loved the easy pencil applicator and the texture of the product was just right. It was creamy enough, so not too dry, but matte enough to keep me from being shiny. It has a thicker coverage for imperfects but still felt really light. I use it everyday, especially under my eyes to cover the dark circles.

Boi-ing was too dry. I liked the thicker texture of this product and felt it covered imperfections very well. Its pot-style application worked for this product because it has a thicker texture, so it wasn’t messy. Shade 2 was a good color match and I liked the matte coverage of this concealer. I think this concealer might work well for me if I mixed it with a little moisturizer so it wasn’t quite so dry.

Neither the fair nor the medium colors worked for me. They were too pink, and the deep was too dark. I also found the formulation to be very creamy but too liquid and messy for my taste. It would work well if you used a brush to apply, but I prefer using my fingers. The coverage of this product would be good if the color matched my skin. I would like the texture of this product if it had a different applicator.

It was a good color match in custard and I like the easy applicator. It is not messy at all. I didn’t feel it provided quite enough coverage and felt a little too dry for my skin. The coverage was very matte, which I liked.

Eucerin Daily Protection SPF 15 Moisturizing Body Lotion
Unscented with SPF! Perfect All-over Body Lotion.
I’ve only found two drug-store body lotions with SPF in them. Although I would love it even more if this lotion had an SPF 30, I still like the feeling of a light layer of sun protection for daily use. I use this as a full body moisturizer right out of the shower after a quick towel dry to try and lock in the moisture. I like this lotion because it is light enough that I don’t have to wait very long to get dressed, but its heavy enough to moisturize my dry legs and arms. It’s a perfect unscented all-over moisturizer.

I love how gentle this cleanser is and it leaves my skin smooth without feeling dry. I use it only in the morning, as I use a heavier cleanser at night. Its a perfect light cleanser for sensitive skin.

Pros: provided matte coverage; matte look stayed all day; the one color gave me a bronzed look that was natural; anti-aging products. Cons: only comes in one shade; only in SPF 20 (most experts recommend to always wear SPF 30 as a minimum; had a strange/noticeable smell; very light coverage, still needed spot corrector. Overall: Urban Decay’s BB went on smoothly and felt like a primer. It made my skin matte but did not provide quite as much coverage as some of the others I tried. Notably, this is the only BB that I thought had a distinct smell that I didn’t really like. The color of this BB definitely gave me a more bronzed look, so would be great for someone who is looking to add a bit more color to her complexion while still looking natural. I loved that this BB stayed matte throughout the day.

Tarte BB Tinted Treatment 12-hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen
My Favorite BB Cream I've Tried - Love the Matte Finish
Pros: primer, matte finish I prefer; evening of skin texture; blended best with my skin tone; good base for blush and spot corrector; SPF 30; comes in four shades for skin matching. Cons: still needed spot corrector Overall: Tarte’s BB was by far my favorite of the five BB Creams I tried. It stood out immediately for its lightness and primer-like qualities. It gave me a light matte look. Mildly covered imperfections but I still needed spot coverage. It was a great base for my cheek stain. My forehead and t-zone were slightly shiny by mid-day. I felt this BB was the best match for my skin. I generally have shiny skin, so I preferred the primer qualities of this BB that gave me a matte look. It also just seemed to blend the best with my skin. It was light, but seemed to give me the most even and matte skin texture, which I liked.
