Great product! I love Cover Fx, for the price it works well and is worth every penny. This setting powder has a very light application which is build-able to a full coverage. I typically don't use liquid foundation on my skin, since it is very sensitive. My regular routine for a full face of makeup includes a moisturizing facial toner followed by a lightweight blemish control primer, and finished with this setting powder.
I have tried a few other brands from Sephora to compare this one to, one of which being Laura Mercier's translucent loose setting powder, which is claimed to be "lightweight", but I definitely felt like it was more cake-y on my skin than Cover Fx.
Needless to say, until I meet a product better than this one, I will continue purchasing this!

I've tried many different brands of dry shampoo in the past and have always had the same experience; dry hair with a coating on the strands that when you run your hands through your hair it leaves a tacky residue.
Because of this I held that expectation to all dry shampoos and never wanted to spend the money on Batiste (since it is a higher priced brand).
Then one day, to my surprise, I received a sample for the 'floral & flirty' Batiste dry shampoo and was excited to try it.
So lets get down to it, I work in a kitchen; it's hot, sweaty, and dry all at the same time. I am required to wear a hat which makes the top part of my hair really greasy, volume-less, and just down right gross. If ever I want to go out after work I don't have time to go home and shower, so throughout the winter I would just throw a beanie on and be done with it, easy right? What about summer??
Well I am pleased to say that this is now my go-to quick-fix, my hair not only had more volume and smelt AHHH-MAZING!! There was no residue feeling, my hair looked healthy, bouncy, and not dry with that whitish tinge you usually have to brush out, which just ends up looking greasy again after brushing. I decided to go out and buy more once I ran through the sample, I came across the 'Rose Gold' edition, which is apparently limited but girl, honestly, this stuff smells SOO good!!! Batiste, can we please not make it a limited, but forever edition? I am in LOVE!

Smashbox Always On Matte Liquid Lipstick

I have two colors from this line of lipstick; if I could I would own the whole line, I love them so much.
The pigment is nice and rich, it has a luxurious smooth feel and it doesn't wipe off easily. The wand applicator has a nice precision point at the tip, I like this because I don't have to over-line my lips before hand with lip liner; thus speeding up my makeup routine.
One thing I did notice is that if you don't apply lip chap before hand then your lips will slowly become dry throughout wear (maybe that's just me).
I've tried some 'budget' brands of matte lipstick and a few of them dried sticky, dried out my lips, cracked, etc.; for $30 I think smash box makes a great product and I would most definitely recommend it.

First of all, I would like to start out by saying how much I love ELF products in general; this is the first product I had used by this brand and it was great! Since then I have fallen in love with this brand.
This primer only cost $10 and works phenomenally. It has a silky smooth application and doesn't clog your pores or leave your skin oily. It dries matte and you can't even tell you have anything on your skin. It actually works in regards to color correcting (comparable to makeup forever which I had used previously; except makeup forever has a thicker formula that takes longer to set into the skin). I use this instead of foundation because it makes my skin look fresh and radiant; for the days where my skin isn't agreeing with me or I want a more full-coverage finished look I use foundation and it sits great on-top of the primer.
Another bonus is that ELF is a cruelty free brand and 100% vegan.

I really enjoyed using this product, I feel like it works really well. My skin was left feeling lush and supple while my pores were visibly clearer. One thing I didn't like about it was that it had small chunks in it and the mask wasn't extremely smooth to apply.
I used a sample size but one of my previous coworkers would speak of this brand highly.
Looking at the full sized packaging and price, I think it is worth the money but is definitely a more expensive product. There isn't a lot of product in the container and I wouldn't buy it on a continual basis because it would break my bank. It is a good splurge product if you are looking to really amp up your skin or you have an important event (i.e. getting married) where you want to put your best face forward.
I definitely recommend this product, but it is comparable with lush products which are substantially cheaper and more economical for every day use.
