I really like this blush not only because the color is beautiful, but the pigment is also not overpowering where I can actually build the color while still looking natural. I find it actually stays true to its claim which is "8-hours long" because I notice that the color always fades when it hits the 8-hour mark. Overall, this is a great staple of a high-end blush for those who still want that flush but natural looking ones.

This has been my OG and holy grail blush since high school. Despite the description says that its "sheer", I can't say that it's sheer at all. In fact, it's really pigmented to the point where one swipe produces natural flush on the cheeks. Also, its buildable even though its pigmented, so I am not afraid to build the color and there won't be any harsh blend that will overpower other makeup.

I love, love this highlight! Perhaps, it is my holy grail highlight of all. Despite it has several chunks of glitter in it, the texture feels creamy and smooth without any difficulty in blending. Also, the powder does not emphasize my pores, and the glitter never strays and makes it messy, which is a big plus for me considering that I have huge pores and textures on my face. The only downside of it, a very trivial one as well, is that there is a bit of a fallout when I lightly tap my brush on it.

For all the amount of reviews that say that its full coverage, I am quite disappointed with the fact that its actually medium-buildable coverage when I tried it. Nonetheless, its a good concealer for brightening the under eye and feels lightweight without looking strange on me. Its long-wearing as well! However, despite the long wearing, it visibly creases after 4-hours mark. Other than that, I wish that they will add more shades as Medium is too light and Deep is a bit too peach on my olive skin.

This is actually one of my favorite drugstore highlights aside from Wet n wild MegaGlo! Its fairly pigmented without being too much, and I can build the intensity by spraying water or setting sprays. I have to say that on my skin, it surprisingly lasts very long. I used this highlight for my uncle’s wedding which started from 2 p.m. until 10 p.m. and the highlight was still shining without being greasy or any touch up! So, I say that its a great staple 🙂

I didn’t expect anything when I first got it but it has become my holy grail drugstore concealer ever since! On my normal to oily skin, it dries fairly fast but gives enough time to blend it, and it also dries matte with a tiny bit of sheen for brightening which is what I prefer. And then, it doesn’t crease as much as I expected after long hours which is a big plus for me. Also, the shade range is quite impressive for a debut, and I hope they will add more deeper shades after this. One con that I will give is the fact that it oxidizes during application, however, its oxidization stops probably one color lighter than my skintone so I can still see the brightening effect.
