……
👉 Revlon Photoready ‘Prime Plus’ Makeup + Skincare Primer
First-Impression Review: really did give my skin a ‘perfected’ look, but left my hands both greasy AND sticky-feeling. It also has a really yuck scent, which went away, but wasn’t pleasant. I do love the way it works, & apparantly it has long-term use benefits.
💰 Price: $14 (price varies w/ retailer)
🚦 Rating: B-
……
👉 BH Cosmetics ‘Naturally Flawless’ Foundation
First-Impression Review: annoying AF packaging – the pump didn’t work at all, so had to pour out my desired amount. Luckily, it looked absolutely beautiful on my skin, so it had a saving-grace. I LOVE the coverage, the finish, & the color-match.
➡️ Shade: 209 Ivory Beige
💰 Price: $5.50 (on sale now!)
🚦 Rating: B
……
👉 Hard Candy ‘Marilyn Monroe’ Loose Airy Powder
First-Impression Review: feels like an HD powder, which did NOT excite me. However, it applied perfectly, & set my foundation like a high-dollar powder. Absolutely no complaints about its performance. There is a ‘sparkling strawberry’ added-fragrance (which I personally REALLY enjoy). The only downside is that this little powder is SO messy, & will literally get in places you have no intention of putting powder.
➡️ Shade: Transluscent
💰 Price: $6.67
🚦 Rating: A
……
👉 Found ‘Baked Illuminating’ Blush
First-Impression Review: I absolutely loved how this looks, how it works, & the fact you get such a huge amount of blush in the pan. It does give a luminous glow, so if you aren’t into that – you definitely won’t like this. It also shows up more ‘pink’ than it appears in the pan.
➡️ Shade: 80 Rose Glow
💰 Price: $6.88 (Walmart)
🚦 Rating: A
……
👉 ELF Illuminating Palette
First-Impression Review: high-hopes for this palette that were totally let down. It does NOT give you the sought-after glow that many seek – but it’s quite dim & soft. I am giving it an average rating, because for ‘everyday’ wear, I like something a little more shiny, but I truly believe there is a place in my collection for this. There ARE occasions where I don’t want it to look like I’m wearing any highlight, & this would be perfect for that.
➡️ Shade: All Mixed Together
💰 Price: $8.00 (price varies w/ retailer)
🚦 Rating: C
……
👉 BPerfect Cosmetics x Stacey Marie ‘Carnival Palette’
First-Impression Review: I’ve waited seemingly forever for this palette, & it was such an experience using it for the first time. It was even better than I hoped it would be. The colors are beautiful. The shimmers are high-shine, & the mattes pull contrast. There is a huge selection of color options to create so many looks!
