REFY Cream Bronzer + Cream Blush Swatches

REFY Cream Bronzer + Cream Blush Swatches

REFY Beauty is a brand that recently launched at Sephora, so I picked up their cream blushes, cream bronzers, and liquid highlighter to try out. I thought that the size (0.05 oz.) for the cream blushes was a typo on the product listing, but no, they are really small compacts--like unusually small for...

Has a pet ever destroyed any products?

Has a pet ever destroyed any products?

Thankfully, no! I don’t recall Mellan doing so (he was pretty good about those things!), and we gated Winnie from being able to access areas that had a lot of makeup in more accessible places. So far… so good with Winnie!

Cream Eyeshadows

They seem really fantastic for one-and-done looks, which I don’t really do (lover of Multi-Shade Looks that I am). I love more cream-to-powder formulas as they work well for multi-shade looks, though, and sometimes, you can get a more intense sparkle or metallic finish from a cream than a powder. Not a fan of ones that dry down so much that they can be prone to flaking off!
