Urban Decay B6 Vitamin Infused Complexion Prep Spray
This is not my favorite product, it makes my face feel kind of sticky, which is really weird. The B6 spray claims to reduce redness (which I need), minimize pores (again I need), and absorb oil (which I don't need). I think this spray is just a little bit to harsh for my skin, which is a bummer because I really wanted to love it. However, I will continue to use it up until it is gone.
Smashbox Camera Ready BB Water
I am currently trying to use up this foundation, and it still has so much, so this will probably be in a lot of makeup bag posts, sorry... This is a nice BB, however, it is not cruelty free and it pulls a little orange. I typically mix this with the Covergirl primer I am also trying to use up because if I don't it looks like an orange mask, also probably should have mentioned I have the shade fair/light. I like the formula of this foundation, because I don't like a lot of coverage, but I wouldn't repurchase it even if it was cruelty free.
Covergirl Outlast all-day primer
Now this, if it was cruelty free, I would repurchase. It has a lotion-y consistency and, while it may not help with longevity, it mixes with foundations beautifully and helps smooth out my skin. It is not technically a pore filler and does not have any silicone in it. This primer does not dry out my skin, make it feel tight, or break me out. I really like this, so if you are not cruelty free I would recommend this primer.
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer - Custard
This shade is way too dark for me to use it under my eyes. I foolishly bought the shade that like all of the "beauty gurus" used, which I know I shouldn't have because I am so fair, but I did.... Honestly color aside, this product does not wow me. I think it is over-hyped, now I'm not saying it is a bad concealer, but I don't think it is worth the $30 price tag. However, I am probably using it wrong and the right shade would help but, I don't know, $30 is a lot for .22 oz.
Urban Decay Naked Skin Ultra Definition Loose Finishing Powder
This is the powder I am currently trying to use up, and honestly, it is not the best for dry skinned gals. Granted, most powders are not the best for dry skinned gals... Anyway, it does a nice job of setting the face without looking powdery. This is also a good option if you want one of those HD/ silica type powders without the possibility of a flash back because this is tinted! Unfortunately it does emphasize dry patches.
Laura Geller Baked Highlighter - French Vanilla
This is a creamy vanilla highlighter shade without any discernible glitters. It offers a nice natural lit from within glow. In fact this highlighter could be used as a light setting powder. I really do like this, I think this product would work well if you had a lot of texture on your cheeks or pores, without emphasizing them. The link I provided takes you to one with a split pan of French Vanilla and Portifino for $43, but check Hautelook. On Hautelook you can usually find the single pans for around $12.
Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush - Paaarty
This is the birthday gift from Sephora, so it is free (!!). This is a peachy mauve shade which looks very natural on the cheeks. I have really been enjoying these, I also enjoy the Amazonian clay blushes in general.
BareMinerals Bareskin Sheer Sun Serum Bronzer - Bare Glow
I like to use this to bronze up foundations and sometimes I put it in my primer and use it just as that (the primer and bronzer serum). I don't think I would purchase it (I have a sample), it's nice but not mind blowing. I like the concept but it is a little orange.
It Cosmetics Brow Power - Universal Taupe
This used to be my favorite brow pencil, I've even used most of it up, but the more I use it and the more I've tried other brow products I've realized that I don't like how stiff and warm this is. It is still a really great brow product, it is just not my favorite anymore.
It Cosmetics Tightline Full Lash Mascara
This is a nice lash primer, I like that it is black and not white, makes it easier to cover haha. I like the super small wand especially for my lower lashes, however, I believe that NYX makes a super similar mascara for a much lower price.
Colourpop Blotted Lip - Lexi and Deja Vu
I love these, I reviewed these here.
Tarte Tarteist Lip Paint - Birthday Suit
Again this is the Sephora birthday gift this year. This is a beautiful mauve brown shade. It definitely dries down darker than it looks in the tube, but I have really been enjoying it! It is not drying and is very comfortable, I reviewed these here!
