Half Caked Star Bright Powder Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the Half Caked Star Bright Powder. First of all, can we talk about this adorable packaging??? This is super super cute and I love the colors. It's also a really interesting package design in that it has like this little netting kinda thing over the power and you press this thing on top of that to get the product, I have never used anything like that before but I am really liking it. This is actually a really good powder. I have been testing it out for a month or two now and I have reached for it consistently.  It really helps with any shininess and it helps set the products really well. I am a big fan of this and it lasts all day long without needing to reapply. I will totally look into getting more of this and would recommend it :)  

Scott Barnes Sculpting and Contour Pallette Review

Hey guys! Today I am reviewing the Scott Barnes Sculpting and Contour Pallette. First of all this is a really pretty pallette. I love the design, it is very simple but nice. I also love the variety of colors in here. I feel like it would work for a variety of skin tones (although it could have some darker option for sure). This is a really nice pallette, it is pretty pigmented and lasts all day. I feel like you can use this for contour or for bronzing if you want. I actually do use it quite a bit. That being said it is $58 USD so it is quite pricey, so this is a nice pallatte but not necessary. I really like it but had I not gotten it in one of my boxes I doubt I would buy just a contour pallette at that price.  

Artist Couture Love Sprung Pallette Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the Love Sprung Artist Couture. I just recently got this after signing back up for Ipsy and I quite like it. This is extremely pigmented. You do NOT need much of this at all. I really like the 2 pinks in it, I have been primarily using Baby Bloom but they are both very pretty. The eternal flame is a bit dark for me but I can use it lightly as a highlighter or I can use it as an eyeshadow. This is a very nice blush pallette and I would totally recommend it, it stays put all day and looks great on the skin,  

Airspun Loose Face Powder Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the Airspun Loose Face Powder. So I have seen this used in a few videos before but had never tried it, since it is cheaper I thought I would give it a shot. Firs off, I am not a fan of the smell. It is pretty strong and Im not loving that, however that does fade as you wear it. It has pretty good coverage when you first put it on, although you need a decent bit. After wearing for a while thought this doesn't do much to keep the oil at bay and I have found on my cheeks it can get kinda chalky/cakey if that makes sense. It also makes a very large mess even for a loose powder. I am probably gonna make do with this and finish it, but I probably will not buy again personally.  

Ciate London Translucent Setting Powder Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the Ciate London Translucent Setting Poweder. I absolutley love this product. I am starting to really like loose setting powders and this one is really good. I love that it is transluscnet and it sets my makeup really well. I will get slightly oily on hot days but i can just put a little more on and its all good. I would definately look into buying the full size of this, it lasts ages even in the little sample so I feel like it would be worth it.

Clark's Botanicals Retinol Rescue Overnight Cream Review

Hey guys!! Today I wanted to review the Clark's Botanicals Retinol Rescue Overnight Cream. Now part of me thought I had reviews this before but I couldn't find it, so either way I am gonna do this review lol I have not been super consistant with this nightly, but when I am using it it feels super moisturizing, like it seems like a relativly thick cream and I feel like it really does lock in moisture to my skin. I can't say how helpful it would be to super dry skin because my skin isn't typically too dry but I would inmagine it would work pretty well for dry skin as thick as it feels. It does also dry down decently for a thick cream so I don't mind the thickness too much overall. I feel like that being said there are MUCH cheaper moisturizers that work just as well, I most likely won't purchase this soley for the price point it is at and just because of how much it is I would recommend if a cheaper option works for you to go with that. (1.7oz is 105 USD!)

Burt's Bees Micellar Facial Towelettes Review

Hey guys! Today  I am reviewing the Burt's Bees Micellar Facial Towelettes. These were kind of an impulse purchase, I was at the store and just decided I wanted some makeup up remover wipes. These happened to be some of the only ones without aloe so I got these. These work pretty well, they aren't overly wet so I don't have to worry about needing to dry my face after using them and they do a decent job removing my makeup. I do not think they work as well as the micellar water I normally use but they work in a pinch or on a night I just am so tired I just don't want to do anything else. I don't really think they are very hydrating like they claim but they do not dry out my skin so that is good. I am not sure I will buy these again but they are fine, if I needed some and forgot my other makeup remover or just didn't want to take it because it is bulky I would buy it but not for just normal days.  

Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Cream Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the Dr Jart+ Ceramidin Cream. I actually had 2 of these samples so I got to use this for a little while to test it out. I actually really liked this one, it was a very thick cream but it dried down pretty well and felt super moisturizing. My skin felt really nice after using it. It didn't have too strong of a scent either which was also really good. Now I will say I do not think I will be repurchasing the full size simply because it is $48 USD and there are cheaper ones I love that work for me, however it is a really good face cream.  If you have super dry skin and nothing seems to help I would give this a shot and see if it works for you!

Revolution X Soph Glow Pallette Review

Hey guys!! I am so excited about these Soph palettes! I absolutely did not need more highlighter but this one was so beautiful I couldn't say no. I have been using this just about daily and it is gorgeous.  This highlight goes on really nicely and blends into the skin really well. It stays put all day long and it really pops.  I would say a little bit goes a very long way so if you aren't into your highlight being intense this might not be your thing or you might have to be very light handed but for me I am loving it. I would say this is for sure a highlight to purchase, it isn't too badly priced and you get alot of product. And for the quality of this I would say you can't beat it. Also the packaging is so pretty! This is one of my favorite highlights at the moment for sure!  

Real Chemestry Fresh Start Foaming Cleanser Review

Hey guys! Today I am reviewing the Real Chemestry Fresh Start Foaming Cleanser. So the formula of this cleanser actually happens to be my favorite type of formula, and this is no exception. I am really liking this, I like how foamy it gets and I feel like I get a really good clean from it. I also feel like a little goes a long way because of the fact it is a foaming cleanser so even the sample size is lasting me ages.  I will say I don't think this would be the best for dry skin. It does dry the skin out a little bit which I don't have an issue with since I use a few moisturizing products right after but if you have dry skin it is something to be aware of. I would say price wise this is about middle ground, it is 24 USD for 4oz which isn't terrible but would also make me consider if some cheaper ones I like work just as well.     Overall though I quite like this and would reccomend it.

Tula Cult Classic Face Wash Review

Hey guys!! Today I wanted to review the Tula Cult Classic Face Wash. So I have had this for a minute now, I got it as an add on with one of my subscription boxes, I don't remember which one, if you have watched my videos and know let me know in the comments lol I really like this though, I like the formula and it suds up really well. I really like the more like creamy sudsy formulas overall so I am loving that that's what this is. I also love that the smell is so light, I really do not like super scented face washes because I am fairly sensitive to smells so I really apprciate that this one is so light. This makes my skin feel really nice when I use it, my skin feels clean and refreshed and this doesn't dry it out, which is good in the winter. I can see why this is so popular because I really like it and I think between the Tula products and Earth Harbor products they might soon make up a large portion of my skincare because both brands have amazing products and I love ever...

Avene Cleanance Expert Review

Hey guys!! Today I wanted to review the Avene Cleanance Experert Face Wash. I tried this about a month ago and totally forgot to review it. This was a very light face wash, it didn't get super sudsy, but it made my skin feel pretty soft after each use. I liked that this didn't have a strong scent to it so I feel like a lot of people could use this, even if they are sensitive to smells/fragrances. I can't really say how much it helps with acne because mine is mostly hormonal so I feel like this didn't make much difference for me in that regard. Overall I think this is a decent face wash but nothing like exciting if that makes sense, but it did work quite well.

Earth Harbor Sunshine Dew Antioxidant Cleansing Oil Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the Earth Harbor Sunshine Dew Cleansing Oil. I was very excited that Earth Harbor was an option in my most recent Alltrue box because I love the Marina serum and I was hoping everything else would be just as great. I can say this definately met my expectations. I wasn't sure how I would feel about an oil makeup remover but I am actually really loving it. I use 3 drops on my face and it takes off all my makeup with just that and a tiny amount of water. I even tested it on eyeliner, did amazing. Dark Lipstick, did great. And even lash glue, with just one more drop it came right off. I love that I don't have to scrub hard with this, just gentle rubbing takes the makeup straight off and leaves my skin feeling clean and soft after a rinse. I think I just might have to get this again when I run out, although it will be a minute because these bottles of product last forever which is amazing. I would 100% recommend this, it is an excellent product and I ...

27 Rosiers Fight Grime Deep and Fresh Gel Cleanser Review

Hey guys! Today I wanted to review the 27 Rosiers Fight Grim Deep and Fresh Gel Cleanser. To start off I appreciate that this really doesn't have a smell to it. It is super light so no issues there. This as it says is a gel but it still foams up a little and I feel like it does a good job getting into my pores to clean them really well. I also like that this doesn't make my skin feel too dry when I wash it off, my skin actually feels pretty soft and smooth when I wash my face with this. Overall I think this is a really good face wash and I quite like it.

Neutrogena Clear Face Sunscreen Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the Neutrogena Clear Face Oil Free Sunscreen. I wanted to get a daily facial sunscreen because since I am 25 now I feel like my skincare is becoming more important to me. I wanted one that wouldn't cause breakouts and wouldn't leave a film on my skin. I opted for this one because the reviews were good and it has a high SPF and me being so pale I need all the SPF I can get. I am honestly loving this and will be buying more in the future when I run out. A little of this goes a long way on the face and I have not had any breakout issues whatsoever. This works really well daily under my makeup and soaks into my skin really well so it doesn't make me look oily or effect the setting of my makeup. I also tested this by itself without anything on top and it looks a tiny but more oily but nothing too bad and it kept my face from getting burned being outside for a couple hours. This is a great dialy facial sunscreen and I would definatly recommend it i...

Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder Review

Hey guys!! Today I wanted to review the Tarte Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder. I am not sure why I put off trying this honestly, but I have had it for a little while and never opened it. I have to say I was really missing out by letting this sit, I am loving the finish of this. It creates a really nice matte finish and isn't at all chalky. It really smooths the skin out in the areas you apply it. I also feel like it keeps all my makeup from getting oily in my tzone. This is absoluetly one I would repurchase a full size of, I think it might be my new favorite. It is also vegan with is always a good thing! I would 100% recommend this ^_^

Revolution Roxi Everything You Need Brush Set Review

Hey guys! So usually I don't really review brushes because I feel like you can only say so much about a brush, however, I very very much like these from the Roxi collection at Revolution so I thought I would do a review! I am actually a huge fan of these, first off they are gorgeous and make a great background for photos and videos.  I honestly didn't use these for a while when I first got them because I didn't want to mess them up. lol Now that I have started using them though they are THE SOFTEST brushes I have ever owned.  They have no fallout at all. They hold tons of product and honestly this set has everything you need.  I could easily do a full face with this set if I wanted to. These sponges from the set are also the softest sponges I have ever owned and they work beautifully. I would recommend this brush set to anyone, new to makeup or just someone who wants more in there collection, you will not regret buying these!  

Bobbi Brown Extra Illuminating Moisture Balm Review

Hey guys!! So today I am reviewing the Bobbi Brown Extra Illuminating Moisture Balm. So first impressions of this, not a fan of the smell, it kinda had in my opinion a little bit of an old lady smell, but I did start to get used to it. That being said I did find it to be pretty moisturizing, it made my skin feel really soft.  As far as illuminating I guess? I really only wore it under makeup so I feel like I really couldn't get a good feel of that. I think my skin did look and feel pretty nice using it though. It is not likely I will repurchase this soley because it is about 70 USD. That to me is just too high for a moisturizer, if you have the extra money and wanna try it, it is nice, I just can't justify that price tag for myself.

Daily Concepts® Daily Facial Dry Brush Review

Ok so let me start off with I am very sorry for the lighting in this photo, I took it in my bathroom and the lights are kinda yellow : / That being said I just had to tell you guys about this product, it was not something I was originally gonna review (tis the lighting) because it isn't something I would have bought myself in a store, however after trying it, you need to buy this! So when I got this from FabFitFun I was like ok, its a brush, what's a brush gonna do for my skin? But I decided to test it out because after all, I had it.  Let me tell you, this is a great addition to my skincare, it has really helped the look of my skin. My skin has less dry areas, it looks brighter, and it feels super smooth. I am loving this and will absolutely get another one if I ever need to replace this one, this is obviously the Daily Concepts one and I am loving it, but honestly just get you any facial brush because it is a game changer. If you like this one though it is great, no fall out,...

URBAN DECAY Hydromaniac Glowy Tinted Hydrator Foundation Review

Hey guys!! So this one was a kinda on a whim purchase for me, I was looking around ultas website and new I wanted a foundation for the summer and new I like Urban Decay so I picked this up. It looked pretty and I like almost everything I have ever gotten from UD so I was like let's try it out. I really really like this, it is a little more full coverage than I expected but honestly I don't mind because it is still super light weight and a little goes a long way. My favorite way to apply when I want it thinner is with my damp beauty blender, if I want fuller coverage I use my hands to apply. This stays put really well and blends out beautifully, I haven't had any patchy spots or areas it built up at all. This creates a really good base for my powder products and doesn't budge (sometimes I find adding pressed powder can make certain types of foundation kinda cover less). This is not a matte finish but adding powder can make it more matte if you prefer that, I would say th...
