A beautiful iridescent white-pink shade, has a bit of a white base so not dark-girl friendly. This colour is pretty unique, makes me feel like a fairy when I wear it. Not the biggest fan of the formula, I like a more intense highlight and although pretty it is rather subtle.

I like the formula and find it fairly easy to apply with a synthetic brush, but this shade in particular is a little too sparkly, not enough fine shimmer.

Smells AMAZING and gives a beautiful flush of colour to the lips. Super moisturising, I haven't found anything like it from the drugstore. Most cheaper lip balms are wax or petroleum based, but you this one has moisturising butters and you can feel the difference! That being said, I only use this one special occasions, I wouldn't use it under lipstick (too oily), it can get really soft in warm weather, and it doesn't last as long as waxier balms. Regardless, I have been using this lip balm for a year and will continue to use it until I find something cheaper

Very nice nude colour, but slightly difficult to apply. I feel like there is pigmentation, but it's rather difficult to get that with your fingers. I use the real techniques buffer brush, but really any smaller synthetic dense brush will do.

I have this blush in Candy Glow, and I think it's a really beautiful pink shade. It is quite shimmery but not chunky, and the packaging is gorgeous. You can't really use the individual strips since they're so narrow, but when mixed together you get cute "candy" pink. Isn't to pigmented so you don't look like a clown, but you can definitely build the colour. On quip is that the packaging is a little bulky and I wouldn't travel with it. That being said, I think this is a beautiful gift for a young teenager who wants to try out some nicer makeup from Sephora, or just someone in your life who loves Disney princesses because that's what I feel like when I use this blush 🙂

A great drugstore brush, although I find it can be a little streaky with foundation on the nose area. I think this brush is best used to apply cream products like cream highlight, blush, and bronzer. Absolutely loved this brush for applying colourpop highlight in particular.

Does follow through on the claims, but didn't wow me the way I expected it to. Has a nice thin consistency and is fairly pigmented, finish was really good as well. I have fairly oily skin and this foundation didn't do anything to help mattify, but I think if you used a good primer and powder you can make it work. I love the large colour range and that it didn't emphasise too much dryness, but I feel like this product is a little over-hyped. Also MUFE tests on animals so that sucks

Probably the best brow gel I have used to date from the drugstore. Has a really great brush and does the job well. Points taken off because l'oreal tests on animals

Good mascara for the drugstore, more lengthening than volumising. Goes really well on the lower lashes. Kinda sucks that l'oreal uses animal testing :/

Beautiful for oily skin with pigmentation, but I found this foundation to be wayyy too dry in the Swedish winter, even though I have oily skin all year round. This foundation is full coverage, so I find it difficult to use on natural days or when my skin is feeling a little drier than normal. I try to mix it with moisturiser during the winter to sheer it out and make it go on nicer, but it still clings to my dry patches :/

Super pigmented and blends easily, hydrating as well. Only thing to be wary of is this colour is super light, and usually I buy the lightest shade for my under eye but since this was so pigmented it looked a little too bright. Kinda annoying since the light neutral is way too dark, so I'll probz have to mix the two.

The shimmers are fairly good for the price, but the mattes are soooo dusty and chalky. Would just buy the covergirl Roses TruNaked palette or some makeup geek shadows.

All of the claims are true, this is super pigmented and glides on very easily. That being said, I find it bleeds out in the corners of my eyes over time, so if you have watery eyes this isn't for you. Another annoying thing is that it dries out before you've used most of the product, and you need some sort of binder liquid in order to revive it. Also, due to it's high pigmentation it is very difficult to remove and if you mess up your wing there is no easy fix

Beautiful colour, but can be a little uneven and is rather hard to apply (which is standard with vampy colours). Slightly drying, but rather good for a liquid lip formula.

Beautiful nude for the drugstore, but I found the formula to be rather uncomfortable. Not super dry, kinda waxy almost. Rather difficult to apply, and it feels better if you apply it over a lip balm

Super great quad, creates a really pretty and natural look. Kathleenlights is sooooo pigmented and creamy! The only shade I had issues with was cornelious. I found it much stiffer than the other colours and I need to use a buffing brush to pick up and blend the product the way that I wanted to. It's still a beautiful crease shade, but other reviewers seem to love it so maybe I just got a bad one. Regardless, this is still a beautiful quad by an amazing youtuber <3
