Best Products of the Week | Vol. 357

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?: We went to a wedding yesterday. I put Origins facial sunscreen on which was a good thing (I don’t think anyone knew the ceremony was going to be outdoors and the sun was BRUTAL) Dior Concealer and then – Eyes – Marc Jacobs Primo (very inner corners), Bravo (rest of mobile lid) and Sephora A Cup of Coffee (crease) Sephora Cappuccino to line; Dior Rosy Glow Awakening Blush on cheeks with IT Cosmetics highlighter on the tops of my cheeks; Givenchy Fuchsia in the Know on lips (wow, that stuff has SOME staying power).

What was the hero product of the week for you?: probably the Origins A Perfect World SPF 40 as it saved my face sitting out in the strong afternoon sun! And that Givenchy lipstick (I’m so glad I got a backup)

Any products you want to use next week?: Even though the weather has been pretty hot, the leaves are starting to turn colour and the kids are back in school and I’m really feeling like breaking out my Dior Bonne Etoile 5 pan from years ago (it is such a beauty and so perfect for this time of year….if the temps start to reflect the season!)

Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones

What was your favorite makeup look you wore this past week?: As I mentioned in a post the other day, I used the SG Temptalia On the Horizons Light palette – Magellan’s Light over the lid, with Phonenix Awakens on the lower lid and Calming Presence next to the lash line. I used my new Shiseido Inner glow blush in a coral shade and paired it with Fenty’s Freckle Fiesta lipstick.
When I was shopping, I wandered into our local Mecca makeup shop (Aus. equivalent of Sephora) and the MUA there asked me what was that stunning copper shade on my eyelids and I told her. She had never heard of SG or Temptalia – and I told her that this was the best brand in the makeup market at the moment.
What was the hero product of the week for you?: SG Temptalia On the Horizons Light palette and my SG singles.
Any products you want to use next week?: More of the above!
