The foundation looks a tad bit too light in comparison to the skin on your neck, or maybe a smidge too yellow, but that could be due to lighting. I really like the natural look overall.

👉 Profusion ‘Feel Good Skin’ Foundation
First-Impression Review: I’ve wanted to try this for long. Obviously, I can’t tell how well it performs for any length-of-time until I do a wear test, but as far as initial thoughts – it applies beautifully. It has my perfect finish without being cakey or overdone. It just looks GOOD, and like your natural skin.
➡️ Shade: Medium 1
💰 Price: $7

👉 Covergirl Clean Fresh Pressed Powder
First-Impression Review: This didn’t go so well. The powder itself is nice, but it caked up my undereye. I’ve heard that it’s temperamental with concealer choice, so maybe I’ll just need to give it more chances with different types of concealers. As far as the Benefit Boi-ing, it was a no-go. Average rating, because it wasn’t ‘unwearable’, it just looked off.
➡️ Shade: Porcelain
💰 Price: $9 (price varies w/ retailer)

👉 BH Cosmetics ‘Belgian Waffle’ Palette
First-Impression Review: This was just as nice as I’d hoped it would be. I used all the shades (per each area), & mixed them together. The bronzer was my perfect shade, & the highlighter was my perfect shade. I’m not super-into face palettes, but this one is actually good.
➡️ Shade: All of Them!
💰 Price: $18

👉 Jordana ‘Shape N’ Tame’ Brow Pencil
First-Impression Review: A little bit waxy, but it certainly made a difference in the overall shape & appearance of my brows. It’s definitely NOT my favorite brow pencil, but it gets the job done, it’s easy to use, the color was a decent match, & it’s affordable.
➡️ Shade: 02 Taupe
💰 Price: $0.99 (price varies w/ retailer)

👉 BH Cosmetics ‘Naughty’ Palette
First-Impression Review: These shades apply just as special as they swatch. I was legitimately impressed. For such a cheap palette, this blows some luxury ones out of the water! I love the depth, the variety, & the formulations inside. I like larger palettes, so it has that going for it, too.
💰 Price: $11 (on sale now!)

👉 Milani ‘Salt n Pepa’ Lip Kit
First-Impression Review: The lip liner was probably one of the best lip liners I’ve ever used in my life. It literally applies perfectly & without fault. The lipstick, on the other hand, was somewhat … dry? I’m not crazy about the formula, but the color was alright.
I honestly was really (pleasantly) surprised by Milani. I have two palettes. One has 5-6(?) shades with a pretty shimmery pink and purples. Another is the “gold” palette(?). I haven’t cracked that one open just yet but the shadows blend really well!
I have a James Charles x Morphe palette and it absolutely blends like garbage. Really disappointed.
Pleasantly surprised by the lip liner and the color combo looks great on you. Though your review said the lipstick formula wasn’t great, I hope you have similar shades from other brands!
I think the foundation looks lovely. I’m surprised it’s so cheap with a finish so flawless. I think if you like full coverage skin this is definitely a great option, the finished look is amazing in the last picture I think

Love it when reviews are like this. I can’t sit and listen to every little detail in a youtube video lol
Looks great but the foundation looks really heavy. I think there could be better full coverage options for you.
I *love* this form of review! This is great! Thanks for putting in this work.
So cute! Thanks for all your hard work. The lip look is so nice!!!
