Worth the hype and hands down, my favourite drugstore concealer!
Pros:
- Great coverage that is blendable (especially with the applicator)
- Gives a smoothed out look without being cakey
- Very little product is needed/Affordable
Cons:
- Can settle ever so slightly in fine lines, but I blend it out with my fingers (mostly happens when too much product is applied)

I love this highlighter for strobing! It gives a nice glow from within and little product is needed. I sometimes mix it with some foundation for easier blending when I’m looking for a very natural look. I use it in sunbeam which is a perfect cool pink tone for my fair complexion.
Pros:
- Metallic sheen without glittery chunks
- Buildable with natural glow
- Does not move around foundation as can be the case with other liquid/cream highlighter
Cons:
- Dries quickly, need to blend fast
- Not super long-lasting

I bought this highlighter based on positive reviews, but it barely showed up even on my fair complexion. It was extremely powdery and the packaging was too bulky. It did however give a nice glow when I added a thick layer to my brow bone which is how I ended using it up, but I would not repurchase. -

I bought this mascara based on many positive reviews, but it really did not work for me. It did provide quick volume, but the flaking and clumping/spider lashes were terrible.
As a disclaimer, I do admit to disliking fiber brushes in general, but I has a particularly bad experience with this mascara (especially considering this is in the higher price range for a drugstore mascara).

I bought this mascara based on the recommendation of many YouTubers and it did not disappoint.
The smaller wand is different than the larger ones we have been used to seeing lately. It allows for more control at getting the finer lashes and inner corners. I also love that one side can be used for a ticker application of the formula while the other separates.
Otherwise, it’s great at building volume, elongating and defining the lashes. Best of all, it does not clump.
While this is my HG at the moment, I do admit that the wand does take some getting used to and that mascara needs building which can be time consuming if you are time-pressed.

- Difficult to remove

I’m on the fence about this mascara. While I think it would be a great option for those looking for a more natural look, I tend to prefer a more dramatic or noticeable look. It did however work well as a topper to separate clumpier mascara and on “no makeup” makeup days.
Pros:
- Definitely holds true to claim of being clump free
- Buildable: multiple coats can be used while remaining clump free
- Moderately elongated lashes
- Can be used for a more natural look
Cons:
- Not the best option for those who prefer a more noticeable or volumizing look

- Very difficult to remove
