Best Products of the Week | Vol. 316

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: pale, cool
What was your favorite makeup look you wore this past week?: once again, it was the Nars Old Church Street duo along with MAC Craving lipstick and – shocker – I started using a sample of the Clarins mascara I was given. I love this stuff – it doesn’t smudge or smear, even after a workout with my trainer at the by and lots of sweaty face wiping (TMI, I’m sure). I used Too Faced Sweetie Pie bronzer to give a bit of colour to my forehead and throat (mask covering the rest of my face)
What was the hero product of the week for you?: I think it’s that new Clarins mascara…it’s ages since a mascara has performed this well for me. I just hope the full size will be as good.
Any products you want to use next week? The recent comments about SG/Temptalia’s On the Horizon (about how perfect it is for fall) have caused me to want to use it this tonight (going out finally for my birthday dinner) and for the next few days because it really is a perfect assortment of colours for the cooler weather and slightly blustery days.

Your skin tone/coloring: Very fair with neutral undertones. I have white/grey hair and brown eyes.

What was your favorite makeup look you wore this past week?: I did a no makeup, makeup day so nothing elaborate. I used the last container of my beloved Chosungah foundation. I didn’t powder it down and so it provided a more dewy look for me which is something I have been liking on others recently. I used my Tarte Shape Tape concealer, Chantacaille Butterfly blush and a rose colored lip pencil. I of course, sprayed massive amounts of MAC Fix Plus, (somethings never change!).

What was the hero product of the week for you?: I really love the Chosungah foundation and it is unavailable now. I did become aware that the brand is still in business, which I had questioned when all of their products disappeared about two years ago. I am going to look at what they offer now and try a few products. It is a Korean based company and I like trying Korean products.

Any products you want to use next week? I am anxious to dig out my Pat McGrath eye shadow palettes while I am in the big city, Seattle!
