Best Products of the Week | Vol. 345

Hope your weekend is starting off on the right note! Every Saturday, I like to share the top 10 products from the last week of reviews. It’s a nice way to highlight what reviews have been published recently. Similarly, I love reading–and I know others enjoy sharing!–their own “week in review” when it comes to what makeup/beauty products they may have used and/or enjoyed.

Comments that do not adhere to our comment policy may be removed. Discussion and debate are highly encouraged but we expect community members to participate respectfully. Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral skin tone, green eyes, salt & pepper hair

What was your favorite makeup look you wore this past week? Estée Lauder Double Wear Makeup in Desert Beige, Lancome Effacernes Concealer, MAC Blot Powder in Light, Clinique Peach Pop Blush, Benefit Precisely My Brown in Grey, Maybelline Total Temptation Mascara, NYX Proof It Waterproof Eyeshadow Primer, Limit and Nooner eyeshadows from UD Naked 3 palette, UD 24/7 eye pencil in Mushroom on lower lash line, KVD Studded Kiss Lipstick in Bow & Arrow.

What was the hero product of the week for you? Clinique Peach Pop Blush. I haven’t used it in years. I was thinking it was too peachy for my skin tone, but applied with a very light hand, it’s surprisingly flattering on me.

Any products you want to use next week? UD Ultimate Basics palette

Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
What was your favorite makeup look you wore this past week?: I pulled out a beloved old favourite – MAC Mineralize shadow duo in Illusionary/Burning Ambition. I used the gold shade (a tricky one to use as it can look a bit scaly and harsh) on the inner corners and the brown shade – such a gorgeous shade – all over the lid and into the crease. Sephora Diving in Malaysia (DC’d) to line – I want to use it up before it dries out. Instead of blush, TooFaced Sweetie Pie bronzer and I used the Peach Blur powder to set my under-eye concealer and on my lips, of course it was Craving as it is 99% of the time.
What was the hero product of the week for you?: Lise Watier Sun Smart facial sun screen (it’s almost like a primer and gives such a perfected look to my skin) and Elizabeth Arden Lip Fix.
Any products you want to use next week?: I really want to use my Smashbox Showmance trio (even though it’s very much a fall-toned set of shadows) but I keep forgetting that I want to use it. That’s the problem with too much “stuff”. I also want to start using some of my Stila single shadows from years back as well as Cargo Yukon shadow. And I really think it’s time I used some of my other lovely lipsticks instead of reaching for Craving every day (though I do love it soooo much).

Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones

What was your favorite makeup look you wore this past week?: I took out my bareMinerals Soft and Smokey palette, plus ND’s Glam to do a few different eye looks this week: I used the soft gold from Glam (the last one in the palette) over the lid, with either In the Buff or A-Ha on the lower lid and Eureka (the olive shade) next to the lash line. Sometimes I did Eureka on the whole lower lid. I paired it with either Fenty’s Freckle Fiesta, Maybelline’s Mauve for Me or Shiseido’s Lantern Red.

What was the hero product of the week for you?: bareMinerals Soft and Smokey eyeshadow palette.

Any products you want to use next week?: PMG’s Sublime Bronze palette.
