This is a nice, simple powder that I find to be incredible for baking and setting a face. It's very cheap and easy to take around for touch-ups as well. It's colour is very sheer so it can be used to buff out contour, bronzer and blush without completely erasing it. It also comes in great shades. The one I use is super pale and matches my skin tone exactly, which lightens any shades that are darker than I normally am to give a more natural finish. I love this product, its price, and its coverage, and I have been turning to it time and time again as of recently. -

Just your typical under eye concealer. It does its job, however it is oddly very shimmery and gives the eyes a weird glittery appearance. Because of this, I would not suggest using this on its own; use it with a powder over top to cancel out the shine. Also, I'm not sure if it comes in any darker shades but I can't seem to find any, because this is BRIGHT. I have Irish skin and am pale beyond belief, and this is almost too light for me, so please watch out for that. Otherwise, its nothing special. -

This is a wonderful travel-sized blush duo. I have the shade Immortal Coral, which includes two wonderfully pink shades. They are pigmented, but do not apply heavily. They are sheer and shimmery while still maintaining their colour. This is perfect for application at the end of a look for a cute, coloured cheek while not looking too heavy. I love this product, the shades are adorable, and the price (around $8) is wonderful for such a beautiful product. -

CC powder is definitely something new to me, and I'm not sure if I prefer this over creams. The powder itself does do a good job of colour correction, however it has a tendency to accentuate dry patches on the face. The powder is dense and rich overall. However, the brush provided with the product is rough and does nothing for the powder, so avoid using it altogether. Overall a decent product, but one that does not compare to creams in my opinion. -

This product is something I have been using for years! It sits at a great price, a lot of product comes in the packaging, it is perfect for on-the-go makeup touch ups, and it advertises being super-blendable for a reason! I personally use this to mattify my liquid foundation, which is does perfectly, on top of providing extra coverage without any cakiness. The shade selection is wonderful as well. I recommend this to everyone needed an affordable and efficient powder. -

An absolute classic. This primer gives you smooth skin and does an incredible job of smoothing out deep pores and lines, while also minimizing bumps due to stuff like pimples. It makes all makeup application a piece of cake. It hold everything in place, keeps makeup lasting WAY longer, and gives the appearance of flawless skin underneath the makeup. It is oil-free, therefore it treats skin very well and does not further clog pores to any terrible amounts (makeup is bound to do bad to your skin in some way or another), but this products minimizes this so much. This primer is so loved and popular for very obvious reasons.
I believe the only problem is the price point. It does last quite a while, but daily makeup application can run a $50 dollar bottle down in no time. Finding primer this high-quality is very difficult though and I will continue loving this product regardless of price.

It's also very easy to apply and looks great with almost anything. This is perfect for anyone looking for a great eye shadow, especially at it's $10 price point.

Such a beautiful product! I only own the colour Day Trip, but I am loving it so much. The colour is so pigmented (high-end level), the shimmer and shine is to die for, and the colour selection is a bold upgrade on the neutrals, which really gives a new love to some classic colours. It blends beautifully and looks good with everything you pair it with. It sits at around $10 per stick, which is phenomenal considering how exceptional the product is! I recommend this to everyone looking for some great, beautiful, and easy to use eye shadow. I promise that you'll fall in love with this product.
In the picture, I only own the stick that is the farthest to the right, just FYI.

This palette includes 10 eyeshadows and four highlighters. However, this palette is really cool in that you can use the eye shadows as highlighter and vice versa. The eye shadow colours aren't too pigmented, but are great for adding a toned shimmer to any highlighter or eye shadow look you have going on. Another bonus is the fact that it doesn't have a lot of fallout, meaning glitter won't be all over your face by the end of things. I'm sure you can create some wonderfully subtle eye looks with this palette, but I personally love using it all for highlighter.
The price point is great, the amount of product isn't too bad at all, and the shimmer quality is wonderful, and I believe it makes up for the lacking pigmentation. Not the best product, but it can easily be integrated into any look because of its versatility.
Sorry about the terrible picture by the way, I couldn't find any pictures of the open product online.

I'm personally not someone who loves eyebrow products in general, so take this with a grain of salt if you find a review that talks about this product more positively.
This palette comes with an angled brush used to apply the eyebrow product, a spooly, a small pair of tweezers, a few eyebrow stencils, eyebrow gel, and two shades of eyebrow product, one light and one dark. The product also has instructions on how to use it. Talking first about these instructions, I find them to be ridiculous. They call for blending the light and dark shades together to match your hair shade, holding the stencil up to your eye and simply using the wider side of the angled brush to fill them in, followed by coating the spooly in the gel to glide over the finished brow to lock things in. But literally everything sucks and let me explain
By mixing the powders, application becomes patchy in that some places are lighter and some are darker, and its near impossible to find your own hair colour. The stencil is decent but it's obviously standardized and might not match some peoples' faces, even when you use the different archs. It's also too easy to shift the incredibly flimsy stencils and get product all over your eyes and forehead; they smudge so easily. The gel is a good idea, but the powder takes too long to set and a lot of people don't have the time to wait before setting with the gel, thus ultimately getting the powder everywhere.
This is a terrible product and for eyebrows, please save your money and buy powders/pencils/dipbrows etc. already made for your own hair colour.
