First-Impression Review: the first thing I noticed after application is that the shade seems more like ‘fair/light’. I don’t have particularly tanned skin, but this light/medium was too light on me! I applied it using my fingertips (my favorite method), & I got some coverage with a VERY dewy finish. VERY. I didn’t notice this when I purchased it, but it has ‘hyaluronic acid’ in the formula, which is an ingredient I do my best to avoid – so I honestly can’t say that this is a product for me.
➡️ Shade: Light/Medium
💰 Price: $4.98 (Walmart)

👉 Maybelline ‘Superstay’ Full Coverage Under-Eye Concealer
First-Impression Review: now, THIS was a true light/medium. I suffer with pretty bad dark under-eyes, so I’m always looking for something to make me look more ‘awake’. This concealer did the trick! It has excellent coverage, blends incredibly easily with a standard brush, & didn’t enhance my under-eye’s fine lines. It’s kind of a mousse-y formula, so the whipped texture makes it utterly easy to work with & implement into your routine.
➡️ Shade: Light Medium 18
💰 Price: $11.99 (Ulta)

👉 I Heart Revolution ‘Peach’ Scented Baking Powder
First-Impression Review: I really, really do enjoy a good scented product every now-and-then. I did get the ‘peach’ smell from this powder, but by NO means is it strong or overwhelming. It’s just lightly there, enough for you to notice it. My qualm with this powder is that (for a PEACH-colored powder), it leaves behind an unforgiving white-cast that doesn’t want to buff away. It literally lightens anything that you put it over. It did give an overall nice look to my skin, but I do NOT like the white-cast. From now on, I am devoting this powder to solely brightening duty, only. I don’t usually bake, but if I ever get I wild hair – this is the powder I’d use.
➡️ Shade: Peach
💰 Price: $7.00 (Ulta)

👉 Physician’s Formula ‘Matte Monoi’ Butter Bronzer
First-Impression Review: I’ve been dying to try this bronzer since it came out! I get along really well with almost-everything from Physician’s Formula, & I find their products to generally be great-quality. Sadly, this bronzer let me down. On my skintone, it looks straight-up orange (which is not the bronzer color I go for). I’m sure certain skintones can pull this color off – but not me! The formula is excellent, I had no issue blending it. It smells kind of tropical-perfume-y.
💰 Price: $12.99 (Target)

……
👉 Revlon ‘Colorstay’ Brow Pencil
First-Impression Review: the first thing I noticed is the odd shape of the tip. It’s a larger circular tip with a slanted tube to always keep a sharp edge. I like that idea! This brow pencil is really creamy. I was able to fill in my eyebrows pretty quick, using the slanted edge for any straight lines. I also really like the color. Sometimes brow pencils can pull really red on me, but this is a true cool-tone.
➡️ Shade: 210 Soft Brown
💰 Price: $8.99 (Ulta)

👉 Butter London ‘Teddy Boy’ Eyeshadow Palette
First-Impression Review: I’m absolutely loving this! I used every shade in this palette, & every shade performed well. I love that this palette is cool-toned, a little bit out of the ordinary, & edited down to only essential shades to make your eye-looks easy & less stressful. This is going to be my go-to palette when I’m craving cool-tones. I am really happy with the look that these shades create.
➡️ Shade: All of Them!
💰 Price: $28.00 (Butter London)

OTHER MAKEUP I’M WEARING:
+ Laura Mercier – radiance primer
+ Jouer – cheeky summer blush duo (terracotta sands/hot coral)
