Best Products of the Week | Vol. 350
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.

Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
What was your favorite makeup look you wore this past week?: I didn’t really have one; it’s been so hot here and I’ve been at the gym pretty much every day (there’s a competition going on and it’s brought out my competitive streak) so makeup’s been pretty minimal and certainly not exciting.
What was the hero product of the week for you?: Lise Watier SunSmart. Honestly, it is such a great product and leaves even my bare skin looking velvety and almost “filtered”.
Any products you want to use next week?: I want to get into some of my grey shadows. I don’t know why, since it’s hot, hot, hot and grey seems a very fall/cool weather eyeshadow colour to me but I guess I’ve been watching tv shows where I see nice and subtle grey eyeshadow looks. I also want to play with Becca Nightingale blush to see how I can tame it during application so I’m not having to buff my face repeatedly so I don’t look like I’m on fire!
How is your daughter and son in law coping with the heat and their bubba Mariella? I think it’s always a challenge to keep babies cool in very hot weather.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral skin tone, green eyes, almost-black hair with natural gray highlights
What was your favorite makeup look you wore this past week?
• EYES: NYX Proof It Waterproof Eyeshadow Primer; LORAC Pro Eyeshadow Palette 4 (Pecan on lid, Brûlée on crease, Black Currant to line upper lash line, Chantilly on brow bone); UD 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Mushroom on the outer third of lower lash line; CoverGirl Clump Crusher mascara; and a combination of Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil and Precisely My Brow, both in Grey.
• FACE: Estée Lauder Double Wear Makeup in Desert Beige, Lancome Effacernes Waterproof Concealer in Light Buff, MAC Blot Powder in Light, Clinique Cheek Pop in Peach, Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Highlighter 01 on cheekbones.
• LIPS: MAC Yash
What was the hero product of the week for you? I wanted something for weekends when I’m out running errands for a couple hours and don’t want to use my regular $50 foundation, so I tried L’Oreal Infallible 24 Hour Fresh Wear Makeup based on all the good reviews it gets. It held up surprisingly well for a drugstore foundation and didn’t oxidize on me. Another drugstore hero: Milani Color Fetish Matte lipstick in the shade Tease is not only a beautiful, long-wearing neutral shade, but the packaging is pretty, too.
Any products you want to use next week? I want to try more color combinations using the LORAC Pro Eyeshadow Palette 4.

What was your favorite makeup look you wore this past week?: It was a BANGER thanks to Lethal Cosmetics!
Eyes: ColourPop Love Not (from Ur A QT) as my transition, MAC Indian Ink crease, outer V and outer lower lashline, Viseart Coy #9 tearducts, Lethal Singularity on entire inner half of lid and lower inner lashline, Lethal Exosphere on outer lid and lower outer lashline over Indian Ink, followed up with my usual black upper tightliner pencil, winged liner and waterproof mascara.
Cheeks: Huda Beauty Glowing Bronzer in Tan Light (?), Lethal Ornamental blush (DANG, that one packs quite the punch!), and PML Golden Nectar highlighter because I very stupidly forgot that I had Haus Labs Pink Amethyst Bio-Radiant Highlighter, which would have looked so much better!
Lips: MAC Love You Big Time Lipglass.
What was the hero product of the week for you?: Everything I received from my Lethal Cosmetics order thru Camera Ready Cosmetics!
Any products you want to use next week? Same look as above, but with Haus Labs Pink Amethyst paired up with Lethal Ornamental!
