👉 L’Oreal Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation
First-Impression Review: The glow is undeniable! When they say ‘radiant’, they mean it! I love the applicator tip, the formula blended out easily, & it looked healthy on my skin. So far, so good. I like it!
➡️ Shade: 45 Golden Vanilla
💰 Price: $12
🚦 Rating: B
👉 L’Oreal Age Perfect Radiant Concealer
First-Impression Review: I got this to pair with the foundation. The formula is NICE, & it’s definitely creamy & hydrating. I didn’t find it very good for covering spots, but it worked great for darkness & highlighting. It paired really well with the foundation & created a seamless base.
➡️ Shade: 205 Creamy Beige
💰 Price: $10
🚦 Rating: B
👉 Rimmel Natural Bronzer
First-Impression Review: This is one of those products I’ve always had my eye on, & I’m sure glad I tried it because it’s beautiful! I love the formula & the shade. It didn’t apply too pigmented & blended out effortlessly. Win!
➡️ Shade: 021 Sun Light
💰 Price: $4
🚦 Rating: A
👉 NYX Diamonds & Ice Highlighting Palette
First-Impression Review: You CANNOT go wrong with this palette for $1.49. I personally love it. The shades are gorgeous, but I kinda like a chunkier formula every now & then to switch things up. Whenever I have a palette, I end up mixing all the shades together, & get what I get. I love the result, & even though this entire collection was a marketing ‘flop’, the residual prices can’t be beat.
➡️ Shade: (All of Them!)
💰 Price: $1.49 (on sale now @ Walmart!)
🚦 Rating: B
👉 Profusion ‘Spectrum’ Palette
First-Impression Review: Ah, another rainbow palette. But it was only 5 bucks! I love Profusion, anyway. I had a hard time choosing between this & the neon palette, but went with this one because it offered more depth in the shade variety. All the shades play nicely. Sure, they could stand to be a tad more saturated, but they do build easily. I love the selection, the formula, & everything about it.
💰 Price: $5
🚦 Rating: B
👉 Half Caked ‘Game Changer’ Lip Fondants
First-Impression Review: These have a lot of claims, & I’m here to say that they have lived up to each & every claim made. Pigmented, mousse-like, transfer-proof, & long-wearing. ALL of it. I used 2 of the 3 shades, & ombred them. I can’t wait to wear these more!
