I love this. The coverage is really nice, the compact case is nice and sturdy. As with all Givenchy powder foundations, they look natural and just melt into the skin. This one comes with one of those white sponges which I think looks cheap, but I use a little puff to apply this. It has a strip of pink highlighter at the bottom. The worst thing about these powder foundations is how few pink undertones they offer. If I go higher than Sand or Satin, it is SO dark on me, but those 4 shades are pink usually. Since this has a strip of pink powder highlighter, it actually ends up mixing perfectly and matches my skin tone 100%. Sand is described as neutral, but I say it may have slightly more pink or maybe even peach in it. Just a tad, though. I recommend this if you're truly in the middle of light and light-medium with pink undertones. Elegant Shell is too light and Elegant Beige is too dark. Skip the Matissime and go for this one. Even though the Matissime Velvet powder foundation smells SO good....

The shade match is out of this world for me. It's a perfect match, so I have been so stoked about that part the most haha. I have had the hardest time because I'm somewhere in between light and light-plus. So, I love the shade, and the lasting power is pretty decent. I rarely use primer and setting powder/spray. With this, I found that I definitely needed setting spray for this "medium" coverage foundation. I didn't think this was medium coverage exactly. I have a freckle/beauty mark that shows through which is fine, but I would not recommend this to anyone who is trying to cover acne unless concealer is used. Without setting spray and powder, this lasted me all day long, but it was starting to separate the last couple of hours around my cheeks and creeping up to my nose. It wasn't noticeable unless you were up close looking at yourself in the mirror. I recommend this for anyone who just wants to even out their complexion without it looking super heavy/obvious. It reminds me of a tinted moisturizer with a little bit more coverage.

This is a pretty nice foundation, but it doesn't provide enough coverage for my taste. I pair this with a powder foundation, and it's perfect. It lasts all day, smells really good, and doesn't really budge but only if you prep your skin right. It says this is for light to light plus, which is exactly what I am-somewhere in between. This is definitely for more fair complexions. They only have this shade for pink undertones which is such a bummer. I have another Burberry foundation that also only has one shade for pink undertones, Rosy Nude 31 but it's WAY too dark for me. So, I decided to just mix these two which I hate because I can never get it the same every time. The shade range is so limited, but if you have yellow undertones, you'll find one that works, I can bet on it.

I am impressed with this foundation, and I hate pretty much all foundations. None of them EVER dry down on me. Even if I apply powder, my face feels sticky and I still risk my makeup coming off if I accidentally scratch it or something. I ordered this in a shade that ended up being too dark and the wrong undertone awhile ago. I finally ended up getting my suggested shade a few days ago, and it's SO close to my skin tone. If I went a shade lighter, it would be too light, and a shade darker is extremely dark on me. I have this problem with every foundation. When I match my foundation to my neck, it's my exact shade but I end up looking obviously pale. It's bizarre, but since I like this foundation as much as my Burberry or Nars, I will deal with it not being a 100% perfect match haha. I recommend this to everyone. I think I paid $5 for it and it lasted literally all day. As the day goes on and mixes with the skin's natural oils, it ends up looking better and better. I know that sounds weird, but trust me. My luxury powders do the same thing; they end up looking as if I applied liquid foundation. This foundation isn't drying either, but they do make a dewy version, too. I didn't notice a smell to it, but the onnly negative thing is that there is no pump, so it tends to get a bit messy... for me, at least. I'd say this is medium coverage that you can build up a bit. It covers everything for me and evens out some redness. My nose pores totally disappear. You can apply using a brush or a sponge. I typically use a brush then a sponge. Since it is just a teeny tiny bit dark, I apply a Guerlain powder foundation that is a little bit lighter than my skin tone, and I'm all set to go.

This is like basically a white lipstick with a wash of purple haha. It's still pretty, but if you aren't into pastels for example, you should probably stay away. I love greys, purples, blues, and teals. These are the colors I tend to buy for lipstick. When I saw this online, I thought it was the prettiest color ever, so I immediately ordered it. It's definitely a nice formula and the packaging is super luxurious. It goes on nicely, super pigmented. It transfers though, and it never dries. So if you're drinking out of a glass, expect your lip prints to show on the glass. I really wish this was more on the lavender side, but it's basically four shades lighter than what you see on the screen. I'm going to get a couple more shades and see if they're deceptive, too. If not, then I'll be really happy because these are beautiful lipsticks to have in your collection. I didn't even want to put it on because of how perfect it looked brand new.

SO pretty I love this shade. Is it blue? Is it purple? Who knows but it's gorgeous. It's super comfortable and easy to apply. It lasts the majority of the day. It does take several minutes for it to completely dry down, but once it does, you are good to go. I love this formula and have to say it's very similar to the Kat Von D's Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks. It's definitely a mousse-y feel when you apply this. It goes on evenly and the pigmentation is out of this world. I saw a video of a few people trying all of the shades in this line. They all said really good things about each shade, so the formula is super consistent. All of the colors looked super vibrant too, but makeup does look different in person. If you are a big fan of the blue and purple shades like I am, I can truthfully say that you will not be disappointed with this one!

I love the staying power! It's nice and pigmented, but the shade doesn't really have any blue in it at all. This is grey with a tiny overcast of blue. It's still a nice color and formula, but I really was hoping it would be like the swatches on this page. This didn't dry out my lips, and application was super easy. It's probably best to make sure lips are smooth, though, because it will show cracks and stuff.

The swatches on here are not accurate. This is not sheer at all. I wear this alone and it’s such a cool lipstick. It’s like an iridescent dark blue with some shimmer. These pictures look like just a topper. I don’t use lipliner, and this looks great alone, and it looks awesome when you mix it with other shades. One day I was wearing a purple shade and didn’t feel like wiping it off when it was fading, so I applied this on top. It turned out really pretty. I have photos on my influenster when I reviewed this awhile back. The Bionic shade also caught my eye, and I’d like to get that one next. This stays on for quite a while without needing to touch up, and it isn’t drying at all. It also has a satin-ish finish. It’s not super shiny nor creamy nor matte haha. So I’m assuming satin? I dunno haha. I highly recommend this shade of lipstick for sure. For blue and purple lipsticks, the formulas are very often terrible, so it’s always amazing to find one that has an amazing formula.

I'm a little confused because the lipstick I have is the crème Coven, but it looks more like the one Temptalia has listed as the matte Coven; mine isn't nearly as dark as this picture. Regardless, it is such a beautiful color. It's a light lavender color and is super opaque. One swipe is all you need. It does have a scent to it, and normally scented lipsticks don't bother me. This one, though, smells sickly sweet. It would totally get five stars if it wasn't for the scent even though it goes away, but you can still taste it pretty much until you wipe it off. Just don't lick your lips and you'll be fine haha. Since this is a creme, it doesn't dry your lips, but it will show dryness, so just make sure your lips are smooth before application. It isn't a super long-lasting lipstick, but it will last several hours with a tiny bit coming off if you eat and/or drink. I rarely wear lip liner and found that I personally didn't need to for this one. Overall, I recommend this lipstick, but I really did expect it to be darker like the swatches on this page. It could be my monitor making it look darker, but just know that the Studded Kiss Crème Lipstick in Coven is a pale lavender, and I know some people don't like the pastel shades or shades close to being pastel.

Very pretty shade! These lipsticks are tiny, though, so be prepared. I don't think they're amazing enough to pay the full $18-20 but since I got them on sale, I think the price fits the quality. These don't ever dry down, you get the tiniest amount of product, and they transfer very easily. You definitely need to keep this on hand because just talking makes it fade. So, that's why I say this was for paying the $5, but definitely not close to $20. The colors are beautiful and rich in pigment, but I have found a ton of drugstore lipsticks that meet the same descriptions plus more. Bottom line: buy on sale only.

It loses half a star for being SO small. This is like a mini size. I should have checked, but I assumed it would be like the satin line. I got a few of these lipsticks on sale. If I paid full priced I’d be so mad. And I’d only be mad because these colors are beautiful and I use them way more often than my other lipsticks. On Sephora’s website and the actual Fenty website, the shades are as close to accurate as possible. The application on the woman on this page is close, but it’s not as bright in person. It’s a TINY bit darker and a little more muted in person. The formula is great as it isn’t drying and it does last a decent amount of time. This does transfer, though. It’s a lot more matte compared to a lot of bullet lipsticks that claim to be matte. That being said, I’d say it’s a creamy matte. I love the four colors I bought and will definitely buy more as long as they’re on sale.

So pretty but not matte at all. These are also very tiny! I originally bought the Juicy Satin one in Poutsicle from Fenty, and that one was a normal-sized lipstick but just had a different shape. I thought this line was going to be the same as the Satin but just matte. Nope. I got them on sale for $5 each, so I bought 4. They all went on beautifully with lots of pigment, but they were definitely showing as a cream finish. None dried into a matte either. These did transfer easier than I’d hoped especially for being an $18 lipstick that’s only the quarter of the size of a normal bullet. I would have been upset if I paid full price, but I’m very happy with all four shades because the tiny amount is worth five bucks and no more.

So pretty! None of these purple blushes actually look full-on purple once applied. Lorac’s Ultraviolet is probably the only one so far that looks the most purple. This blush still looks pink with a bit of purple. It’s gorgeous! With one dip and one stroke, the color is subtle but 100% natural-looking. The more applications, the more pigmented and dark it gets. I have light to light-medium skin depending on the season, so one coat was plenty. If I go just a tiny bit darker, I look like a clown. Because you only need to dip the pan once and very lightly, this blush will last FOREVER. So obsessed with this purple and every other purple blush I’m coming across. I highly recommend it!
