First Impressions: The packaging was a lot smaller than I expected and there is far less product than I expected. For the price I was expecting a larger range of eyeshadow colours but there weren't a lot. However, the selection of eyeshadow colours are very basic and the nude shadows will look good for those who wants a natural eyeshadow look. This compact packaging is good for those who travel a lot because the size is very travel friendly. As well the shadows can create a soft natural look but it can also be used to make smokey eyeshadow looks.
Application: The eyeshadows are very smooth and soft. They easily glide onto the eyes without leaving any creases. The application was very easy as the shadows blend flawlessly together which softens the eye look without it looking too harsh.
Staying Power: The eyeshadows stayed on for a solid 8 hours with an eyelid primer. I would recommend using a primer before applying the eyeshadows.
Pros/Cons: This palette is very pigmented and the shadows are not shimmery which is good for the people who love the natural look. One thing that is bad about this product is that the price is fairly high for a small palette.
Overall Rating: 8/10
This is a very great palette for those of you who like natural looking makeup.

First Impressions: For the past couple of months I have been using this foundation in the shade 925 buff beige. This foundation claims to be super blendable and can multitask as a foundation, concealer and primer. From my experience with this foundation, I like how it has 20 SPF which is good for the days where I forget to wear sunscreen. This foundation is very runny but one of the pros about this foundation is that it has a pump. Whenever a foundation has a pump I feel a lot more clean than foundations without it. The product also contains 30mL (1 FL OZ), which I find a decent amount of foundation. One downside to the packaging is that I lose a lot of product onto the sides of my cap. The pump does leak a little for me and it goes all over the cap and runs down the blue pump.
Application: This product does follow up to its claims. The foundation is very runny, but it applies very smoothly and is very blendable. One layer of the foundation gives an even light/medium coverage. I usually give myself one pump and buff thin layers of the foundation onto my face to build up to my desired coverage. I do realize that the foundation does cling to the sides of my nose which makes it look cakey. However, the application for the rest of my face does feel very light and looks natural.
Staying Power: The foundation is not entirely matte but it isn't very dewy as well. The bottle claims to be oil free and it does keep my oil to a minimum for a few hours but later I can feel my oil seeping out. My skin type is oily, so I would recommend using a mattifying primer as well as setting the foundation with powder. When I use both a setting powder and mattifying primer the foundation can last me up to 10 hours.
Pros/Cons: This foundation is long-lasting and gives a pretty natural look. However, I would not recommend this foundation if you have oily skin and live in humid climates. When I was on vacation this foundation did wear off with all the sweat. Since I've been using this foundation I did not find any new growing acne which is great because it didn't break me out.
Overall Rating: 8/10
This is a great everyday foundation that is affordable and long lasting. This foundation has been in my daily routine for the past couple of months.
