Review:
  • Primer- I really liked the Avon Magix primer. It made my face really smooth and helped with the blending of my face products. I could also tell a significant increase in the wear of my foundation.
  • Foundation- Whoa, buddy! This foundation has one strong scent! I should have known because it is a Covergirl product, but danggg. I really like the finish of the product though. If you can get over the scent, I say go for it.
  • Concealer- The Glamoflauge concealer I used was very pigmented and covered my blemishes well but I found it to be too thick for under my eyes. I don't like the way it settles into the fine lines. Also, this product only comes in three shades so be careful! The one I own is actually a tad too light for me.
  • Powder- this week I continued to use my Almay powder, as I will next week, and the week after, and the week after. (Well, until it is used up!)
  • Cream Blush- I love the NYC Blushable Creme Sticks. They glide on and blend like a dream. You can have them be very opaque, or they will blend to almost nothing. Great product!
  • Bronzer- My Rimmel bronzer is not one that I reach for, to be honest. It goes on pigmented but is then hard to blend and if you tap a bit of the product off on the back of your hand in order to not apply to much, then the bronzer is indetectable. It is matte though, and I do use it for a slight bit of color. Like I said, I don't reach for it, though.
  • Eye Primer- Hard Candy, I don't have another one here with me to try
  • Eyeshadow- This week I used a Hard Candy shadow palette. All of the colors had a very nice consistency and were all very pigmented. I liked the palette I have, the one in "Vice" because it is neutral enough to wear everyday but also has the capabilites of a nice smoky eye.
  • Pencil Liner- The Hard Candy Take Me Out Liner is not a bad product, but I prefer my Mally Evercolor liner over it. I feel the HC liner tugs a bit and doesn't apply smoothly, but it is very pigmented.
  • Gel Liner- I used the Physician's Formula gel liner for brown eyes. I intended to use all of them, but I really only got the chance to use the black. I really love this product though. It glides on the skin very well, has wonderful pigmentation, and is quite affordable.
  • Lipsticks - MAC Lazy Day- I love this lipstick. Beautiful pink, very moisturizing
    MAC Bare- Also a good product. Less moisturizing than the one above but I like it.
  • Lipglosses - Bari- This lip gloss is a frosty clear gloss, which goes great over any lipstick. It adds a bit of sheen and gloss over anything you pair it with. I really enjoy this lipgloss and continue to repurchase it.
    Avon- I would say this product is more like a creme lipstick. It is very opaque and is also very moisturizing. I find that it looks nicely all by itself or with a lighter gloss over top, like the one mentioned above.

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoy! Don't forget to comment and let me know what you think!
