The Matte Side: WHOA, this can be a little too pigmented so definitely apply with a light hand. However, if you apply too much the blush can be sheered down and the edges can be easily blended into the skin. The powder is so finely milled and feels like silk. It's not powdery, but also not stiff or hard in the pan. The Shimmery Side: Fucking beautiful. Shimmery without having large glittery particles or emphasizing pores. It looks so natural and just melts into the cheeks for a natural flush. Overall; The blushes last on my oily cheeks all day, aren't patchy and is very travel friendly because the case is super sturdy.

I love to wear this foundation in the winter because it is so lightweight and moisturizing. It has medium coverage and can be built up to full coverage. This is a water based formulation so don't use this over a dimethicone based primer. I have oily skin, but live in a dry cold place so it lasts well in winter and doesn't break down. I use a different foundation when I am more oily in winter. The foundation mixes very well with moisutizers to make a good bb cream or tinted moisturizer. If my skin is a little more oily I do have to powder my t-zone or any oily areas, when my skin isn't as oily I don't need to set it at all. The only thing I dislike about the foundation is the dropper applicator, I wish it had a pump instead.

This lipstick is amazing! The formula goes on smooth and opaque. Once on the lips it is weightless and very comfortable. These lipsticks are basically a melted bullet lipstick so you will need to re-apply and it transfers. The applicator is easy to use.

This blush is so frustrating for me because it is easy to apply and looks natural and because it is creamlike texture there aren't stark edges, HOWEVER the color just fades away instantly, When I first put one it looks a little too bright but then it I pat it to tone it down it completely fades away. Fine. So I stopped patting it and left it a little to bright, and like an hour later there's no blush on my face. Where does it go? If I use this product I know I will have to reappky it throughout the day, which I don't want to do for blush because I have the largest pores and most texture on my cheeks. I am going to use it up, but I won't repurchase or recommend this shade. If you are looking for a natural cream blush at a more affordable price point I recommend the Holika Holika Jelly Blushers.

This lip pencil is creamy, easy to apply, and easy to sharpen. The tip is percise and not too sharp or soft. It works well to outline the lips or fill in the entire lips and wear alone. I like that is is weightless and doesn't feel like a gross layer under my lipstick. It often wear it alone it doesn't bleed or get everywhere. No joker mouth when I wear it. I also like that that the cap of the liner stays on the liner,

This palette is beautiful and the shadows are very easy to place, blend and use. All of the shadows have a good level of pigmentation without being too heavily or lightly pigmented. I would say this is a very user friendly palette. As eassy as this palette is to use, I find the tones of the colors often clash, The pink tone nude has a completely different undertone than the bright pink, the same goes for the more yellow undertone brown and the bright gold. The undertones clash and make it difficult to do monochromatic looks and takes some practice with the palette to figure out what pairs together. I prefer palettes where any color can be matched with any other color and they can make a beautiful look, a brand that does this well is ABH. I think this palette is good, but even with a large variety of shades the number of looks you can actually create is more limited. However, this formula pairs well with other eyeshadow formulas so if you need to pull colors from somewhere else everything will be fine. Nothing flakes or fades and it is a great palette to create looks that last all day. The formula is drier than say ABH or dose of colors without being stiffer. The shadow is soft but because it's drier it doesn't kick up everywhere or blend into nothing. I recommend this palette, but if this is the first NABLA eyeshadow palette you've ever tried I would purchase it from ULTA so you can return it if it isn't your cup of tea. The packaging is stunning, sturdy, well constructed and supremely functional. It is well weighted and honestly a work of art.

Girl, this shade is fucking beautiful! It is sheer and flaky, but in the best possible way. It is a great transformer/topper shade that shifts whitish. blue green. It makes my eyes look like a beautiful mermaid goddess. It can also be built up to a semi-opaque shade. It also makes a glistening inner corner highlight. I recommend because the shade is unque gorgeous and fairy like. This is shade brightens and brings attention to your eyes. Surprisingly, there is not a any fall out or glitteryness that gets all over your face. Also it lasts ALL DAY. It reminds me of a pressed version of the Sugarpill Lumi.

The formula is the same as the other butter bronzers, smooth buttery, blendable, but the color is straight up orange. I bought it because it was listed as dupe for my favorite Too Faced bronzer that only comes in a face palette. It also has that terrible fake coconut scent of all their products.

Snapdragon looks a little scary in the pan, but on the cheeks it gives a natural flush. The base pink color is sheer so when applied to the cheeks it looks like a light wash. The luinous quality isn't sparkly or glittery, but looks like healthy skin. It is a funtional dupe for a lot of other blushes, but I like it because the base isn't too strong on intial application and can be built up tp a more pigmented cololr. The blush is blendable and easy to apply.

I love this foundation! It is light on the skin and can be built up to medium coverage. It lasts all day on my oily skin when powdered down with my beauty bakerie powder. I wore it on a photo shoot and I got so many compliments. I was happy to find a shade match since their aren't many foundations with peach undertones. The foundation mixes well with other more full coverage foundations or ones that are the wrong shade. I didn't notice any scent. One annoying thing about this foundation is that it comes with a dropper instead of a pump applicator.

I wanted this palette for about a year when it went on sale at Sephora (on my birthday) and I snatched it up. The formula is the same as the 9 pan Tryst Palette. The mattes are very blendable and the shimmers are true shimmers, that is to say they aren't foiled shadows or metallics. I watched several youtube tutorials to tryout before buying, including sveral with people with similar skintones, but the colors just look....not good. I think it might be my peach undertone, but blue based purples don't agree with me. The top row are beautiful mauve shades- they look brown in the pan, but don't be fooled, but on my skin tone they look like bruises. This palette pairs well with others and would be a very nice gift. The packaging is sturdy, slim, compact and easy to store. I am so disappointed that this palette this palette doesn't look good on me, but if you have a cool undertone, maybe it will work for you.

This liquid lipstick is really nice! I always put a balm or coconut oil on my lips before and these lipsticks are still hella drying on the lips for a few minutes during the dry down which makes me want to rip my lips off. Here's the thing though...after the intial dry down insanity, the lipstick looks amazing. It doesn't sink into lines or bleed. You can eat or drink as much as you want and that sucker isn't going anywhere until you take it off with a cleansing balm at the end of the night. Which I like because if I am wearing a liquid lip, I want it to last. I didn't find it to be flaky or smeary or like too matte where your lips look crusty and gross. I also feel like this formula isn't too thick or heavy on the lips. Once it drys down I forget that I have it on. The applicator is nice the wand isn't ridiculously long and the doe foot is a nice size for getting a percise lip line.

Several youtubers I follow were hyping this palette up and I bought it because a) I don't have a neutral/cool palette and b) because it was deeply discounted on beautylish. I wasn't in love with the color story, but I like ABH's formula so I thought I would give it a shot. Hot damn, I love this palette! I haven't been able to put it down. The color story looks...so blah but the shimmers are divine and the mattes blend out like a dream. The colors pair so nicely with other flashier palettes and make beautiful looks on there own. I like it so much I even debated buying another one as a backup...which is crazy so I didn't. The formula oversall is better than soft glam's. I wish they would make it permanent. The colors last all day on my oily lids, even without a primer or concealer base, which I am convinced is witchcraft. The packagine looks luxe and the glitter doesn't shed or flake off. The brush that comes with it is a nice blending brush. Highly recommed and you can still purchase it off beautylish since it is no longer for sale at Sephora or Ulta.

The best neutral toned bronzer for fair skin tones from the dugstore. You can't ever really over apply it and the product last forever! It is creamy and pigmented, but not too pigmented so you look like you've been rolling around in dirt. I think the packaging is ridiculous....why include a mirror on the bottom, why include a weird little brush, why make it three times thicker than any other brush? I have no idea. Even though the packaging is incredibly stupid, I have repurchased this bronzer three times. Even if bronze isn't your shade they have a variety of shades that dupe many more expensive bronzers on the market. I highly recommend. I think the finish is a natural, there might be a slight satiny sheen, but there's not glitter or shimmer.. It has a strong fake coconut scent when you open the bronzer, but doesn't transfer to the skin. The bronzer is long lasting and doesn't fade on my oily skin.

A great red orange toned blush from becca. I was afraid this blush was going to be garish on my fair skin and with a light hand it looks beautiful. I am sure it would look great on medium to deep skin tones. The blush has shimmer in it so if you prefer a matte blush, pass on this. I think this color is being discontinued so if you see it and want it, pick it up. My only complaint is that it is very similar to the orange blush in the Becca x Malika Face Palette (which I also own) so if you own that color you won't need Becca's Tigerlily.

A great neutral matte palette that is perfect for travel.

I really wanted to love this product, but it doesn't love me. The color is too yellow for my fair-neutral skin, but when I am wearing self tanner it doesn't matter as much. I don't like this product because it makes my pores look huge-especially on my cheeks and it somehow looks greasy and dry at the same time. Even with just a little amount it looks cakey on my skin. I have tried different primers and setting sprays, wearing it straight, etc. It felt strangely heavy and itchy not long after applying it. All of my face powders, blushes, bronzers applied beautifully and it photographs well...but up close it was a mess. I really love the pump, and hoped this would replace my Tarte BB cream, but so far I haven't been able to make it work.

I really like this highlighter when it is applied wet with a brush or sponge so that it is a bit more intense, but still natural. It has a cool pinky-purple duochrome affect and works well with the other powders in the Natural Face palette. Applied dry it is hard to see the color payoff under synthetic lights like in your bathroom, although it does pick up the light when you are in natural sunlight according to my husband. It also faded on my skin more quickly than my ABH or Becca highlighters so you might want to layer with another highlighter if you want it to last through the work day.

So this product was hard for me to rate because it is a good powder with the same consistency and blendability as the other powders in the Natural Face palette, but it didn't work as a bronzer on my very fair skin at all. It pulls very red on me...like clown nose red. I actually checked to see if I misused it and it was actually a blush, but it supposed to be a bronzer. It is supposed to be a spiced ginger color so the color is accurate, but it is too harsh for my complexion. If you are looking for a warm toned, red blush or have a deeper skin tone this might look beautiful on you. It blends out nicely, it took a bit of blending to sheer it out on my skin to look like a nice blush, but if you don't need to sheer it out as much, it was very easy to blend out. It is highly pigmented so apply with a light hand. As a blush it looked beautiful, especially paired with the Sunny Honey bronzer and Satin Sheets in the Natural Face palette.

A good matte bronzer that reminds me Tarte’s Park Avenue Princess- which I love. It is a thicker, creamy consistentancy than PAP, and blends out like a dream, giving me a nice bronze flush. It is highly pigmented so be careful not to apply to much product, but since it blends out so well it is easy to make as sheer or heavy as you like. The coconut smell is light- definitely lighter than PF’s butter bronzer and I could not smell it once applied to the face. I also applied it to my eyes as eyeshadow, it irritated my eyes, I think the coconut scent that caused the problem so if you have sensitive eyes don’t use this product as eyeshadow.
