Beautiful, brilliant, buildable blusher! Though I didn't find it as long lasting as the name claims, I love the versatility of this blush and the natural colours this line has to offer. Very lightweight powder that produces a limited amount of fall out with the right brush. While pigmented, it is not over the top and allows the user to easily apply the right amount of product for day or nighttime wear. Love tarte's natural approach to their product line up! Love that one does not have to sacrifice effectiveness for purity! Awesome! -

A instant classic in the cosmetics world! What a brilliant colour! Looks absolutely stunning on nearly every skin tone and is a staple in almost every other bridal makeup artist I've ever encountered's kits. An absolute must have for cosmetics lovers and makeup artists alike. This beautiful peach colour is incredibly flattering and natural and can be blended with very little effort. Also available in creamy, dreamy stick format for those looking to match their lip colour with their blusher (or those who prefer a cream blush... blends flawlessly)! Recommend trying both formats. You will love it! -

Beautiful combination! NARS makes the most gorgeous pigmented, shimmer products and while I am definitely not a fan of using these for anything other than bridal, there is nothing like it when it comes to wedding photography. The blush goes on so naturally and blends extremely well with just the use of the blush brush (still ALWAYS recommend using a sponge for clean up though). This bronzer is also fantastic and can be used in place of a contour as well, if need be. This is an absolute essential in every makeup artist's bridal/touch up kit. Recommend this to anyone who desires to look effortlessly radiant in special occasion photos as well :) -

Fairly unscented effective moisturizer for dry skin! If I were on a tight budget, I would personally use this product for both day and night as I find the night cream much too heavy over the spring and summer seasons. Over the winter however, this makes a great day cream! While a bit thicker than my favourite water based products, I did find that it did an excellent job provides lush hydration without causing any sort of reaction. However, as I'm not a fan of "potted" creams (due to bacteria build up amongst other fears!), I will continue to choose tube and other squeeze type products in the future. Good budget product but would prefer a different container! -

Excellent and affordable toner for sensitive skin! No alcohol added to provide additional protection against dryness. Love that it is practically unscented as well. Would recommend using this with a cotton pad NOT a cotton ball though; too much of the product gets soaked up otherwise. Feels a bit heavier than other toners but naturally, this adds to its gentle nature. I would personally choose Burt's Bees Rosewater and Glycerin Toner in the future though as I find it more effective for my personal needs (I prefer to feel more of a clean from my toners and found this made my moisturizers feel heavier). For those suffering with extremely dry skin though, this is definitely worth a try! -

Very effective, cost friendly moisturizer! Provides fantastic hydration and acts like a nourishing drink of water. I have incredibly dry skin and tend to love gel based moisturizers, so this product is perfect match for me. Not heavy or too thick like other body moisturizers. Application is very simple and with a couple of circular motions, my skin has already absorbed nearly all of this body milk! Recommend this for others suffering with dry skin in search of lightweight hydration! -

Best blushes on the market... period! Extremely pigmented and blend beautifully. They are available in a variety of colours to match any skin tone. I have one palette of merely six shades for background actors (film industry) and find it incredibly simple to choose one with just a few options. They go on naturally and consistently every time! Highly recommend other makeup artists (pros and beginners!) stock up on these, and cosmetics junkies try both a matte and shimmer at least once! You will fall in love! -

Very effective night cream for those on a budget! While this is a bit on the oilier side, it makes a great moisturizer for over the winter months when skin tends to be at its driest, I find it sits a bit too long on my skin's surface (even with the use of a toner just prior to application) otherwise. Would not use this over the summer, but enjoyed the creamy, heavy consistency over the winter. Good value! -

Effective lip care product that provides satisfactory hydration without being too greasy! Nice as a once over before applying lipstick or glosses or used in multiple coats on its own. However, while I enjoy this product, I still prefer Burt's Bees texture for my very dry lips. I find it much more moisturizing and economic for my needs however, with that said, I feel that those with more normal to seasonly dry lips will probably prefer the creamy water texture of this product. -

This blush has lasted me forever! Again, like the foundation I purchased from this company, I found this item at the BC Ferry's gift shop for a significantly discounted price and love the high quality pigmentation. This blush goes on very naturally and is extremely buildable; you will have to touch up during the day but the colour (Star Fish) and ease of application are completely worth it. Love that this line is vegan, gluten, paraben, fragrance, and cruelty free as well! I found that the powder did not leave any fallout or discolouration but still performed at the same level as other drug and department store lines. Recommend this to natural beauty fanatics everywhere! -
