MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Microperfecting Primer To Go Review

MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Microperfecting Primer To Go
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I usually can't wear primers.In fact going near Benefit's face brightener primer or any of Smashbox's primers causes my skin to break out.I was hesitant to even try this, but I bought the HD to go box of goodies online and this was one of the three products.I use the HD powder and elixir religiously so I figured I would give this one a shot.

I'm glad I did because it doesn't break me out at all.It's a very light primer, some primers I've used are thick and are the perfect base for makeup, this one is a lot thiner and light, that's probably the reason it doesn't break me out.It is the perfect base for makeup, I even use it under Some Kind a Gorgeous or my clinque foundations. Since it's so light it doesn't fix everything like, well truly, a good primer should.I notice my pores are minimized and any type of foundation goes over smoother.

The price is a bit much though.I just received this a week ago so I'll update to let people know how long it lasts.If it's a really good buy then I might have to try to green make up forever primer (I have super red skin).

I had been using a liquid foundation (NARS), but wasn't getting the coverage I needed for medium acne.This foundation was easy to use and had great coverage, but didn't make me feel like I was wearing a mask.I use a foundation brush to apply it and that seems to work great.It's very light feeling.I use the blemish stick on top of the foundation if I need more coverage.

Alison Raffaele Blotting Tissues Review

Average Reviews:

I was annoyingly short $3.00 for Amazon Free Shipping.So I added this item to my shopping cart.

The product itself was okay.Although there were several sheets, the sheets were extremely thin and did not work that great.They are the same paper consistency of the toilet seat covers you use in public restrooms.

I liked the ones from Bath and Body Works better.This item did remove oil, but it took three or four sheets for it to do the job whereas I only needed one or two from Bath and Body Works.

Overall, it was a good filler for my shopping cart.I didn't like the item too much because of the quantity I had to use...but it did work.

Average Reviews:

Jane Iredale is the ultimate in loose mineral makeup. Go ahead and try the cheaper versions from your local drug store. But I recommend you don't waste your money and instead try Jane Iredale. It truly is light, fluffy, not a bit oily or thick/waxy/cakey (like for example Bare Minerals by Loreal.) When I wear Jane Iredale (Warm Silk) I only need to apply it once in the morning, lasts all day and people say "What are you doing, your skin looks so good!"

Dior DiorSkin AirFlash Spray Foundation Review

Dior DiorSkin AirFlash Spray Foundation
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The DiorSkin AirFlash is very easy to apply, and gives a light matte finish that wonderfully evens out skin tone.Once applied, it's very lightweight- you can't feel it on your skin at all.Not much is needed, HOWEVER, there's barely any product in the can.I used it off and on for about a month, perhaps 15 applications in my estimation, and the can was bone dry after that.For $60, this is unacceptable!And I wasn't piling it on or anything, I would just do a light mist over my nose and cheek area.

If this was half the price, I would give it 5 stars, it's really a great product, but for a can mostly filled with compressed air, I have a hard time shelling out that kind of cash.

Urban Decay Razor Sharp Ultra Definition Finishing Powder Review

Urban Decay Razor Sharp Ultra Definition Finishing Powder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First off, the packaging of this product is somewhat useless in my opinion.The base is turned to an OPEN position in order to release powder, yet I have to tap the sponge on my hand a few times before getting any powder.However, when in the CLOSED position, powder gets everywhere inside my makeup bag.The attached sponge is also a little hard to get used to.As I mentioned before, I have to tap the product on my hand just to get the powder started and then it is hard to control the amount of powder released.I think this product would work much better WITHOUT the attached sponge.

Now, on to the powder.When I first applied the powder, my face looked absolutely FLAWLESS.All freckles, redness, etc. was covered and I had a perfect airbrushed look.This was certainly great until a photo was taken of me and I could see streaks of "white" powder.This was not noticeable after application, so I'm thinking either a) flashes on cameras do not mesh well with this product or b) the sponge doesn't do an adequate job of smoothing out the powder.In the future, I will definitely try to blend this product with a brush to see if the outcome is better.

If the "streaks" of powder were not apparent in the photos, I would definitely recommend this product despite the downfalls of the packaging.I certainly look forward to see the opinions of others or if anyone else experienced the streaks when using a flash on their camera.

Almay Smart Shade Blush, Pink 010, 0.5-Ounce Tubes (Pack of 2) Review

Almay Smart Shade Blush, Pink 010, 0.5-Ounce Tubes
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've always worn my cosmetics very natural, preferring subtlety to ostentation.I usually go for a monochromatic look on my eyes and cheeks, using a bit more color in my lipstick, which changes shades to suit the garment I am wearing.Needless to say, I was intrigued by Almay's Smart Shade Blush.The concept of a blush that is subtle and adjusts to flatter your skin tone was something I couldn't pass up.

This is my first experience with a cream blush, and I have to say I don't think I will try one again.I wasn't fond of the messy application, requiring a trip to the bathroom to wash my hands before continuing (I do my make-up at a vanity table in my bedroom, using a lighted make-up mirror), and I thought the cream blush felt a bit sticky on my skin.

That is, until it wore off.My normal cosmetics routine rarely requires I touch up my make-up throughout the day, with the exception of my lipstick.On a hot summer day, I might powder my face a bit, but it is rare I have to touch up my blush until evening.The Almay Smart Shade Blush wore off very quickly, leaving my cheeks without a rosy pink hue within hours.I should add that I broke myself of the habit of rubbing or touching my face years ago when I realized the act bred pimples, so this was simply normal wear sitting at my desk in my office.

I do have to say, however, that when first applied, the subtlety of color is attractive.But an experienced hand can easily achieve that same look with a powder blush that lasts a bit longer in the day.

Overall, I have to say I would not use this blush again.After a week of wear, the tube lies in my make-up drawer without further use and will likely be the victim of a spring cleaning in a year or so.Someone who is partial to cream blushes may like this one better than I did, and I would recommend they try it.For me, it just didn't meet my needs.

I'm not a big makeup person, but what I do wear, I am extremely picky about. I'm partial to Bobbi Brown cosmetics, but this product by Revlon outshines any other foundation/brightener I've tried. Without ever feeling heavy, this adds just enough coverage and brightness to liven up even the most tired-looking skin. It goes on just as easily as any moisturizer and evens out skin tone without making you look 'made up'. I love it. It would seem, however, that Revlon has stopped making it, so I'm stocking up now! Get it while you can.

Assuming I have the same box formula made by the Palladio Co., the ingredients don't seem to contain any 'powdered rice'.In fact, they list calcium carbonate, TALC, and fragrance!So, beware.I used this for only one week, and my face was breaking out in areas that never have broken out before!TALC clogs pores.

I will say that it did soak up the oil in my skin and lasted fairly long, but I could by any powder that would do the same thing without the clogged pores.

The US, single-language-label version of this product works great.The product I received from Amazon, though, included both English and French on the label and may have been intended for the Canadian market.This version did not work well at all:in fact, my trouble spots looked even shinier after application because the Canadian version has a much greasier feel.If you order this product and see French on the label, you're probably out of luck - but if you see only English on the label you may have stumbled onto a wonderful, effective product.
