I've recently changed my skincare products, and was looking for an effective makeup remover that wasn't in wipe form.
This cleanser is best used with a dry face and hands, and then wiped away with a dampened cloth. Then by using a regular facial cleaner to remove excess makeup and cream.
The texture is extremely thick, and reminds me of butter. When you attempt to wash it off in the shower or sink it doesn't come off. By wiping it away it comes off easily and takes even thick layers of makeup away. It also removed waterproof makeup effortlessly!

The primer I've tested in the Colour Correcting formula.
I had high hopes for this product to help with my redness, but I find it just adds a greasy feeling to my face.
Along with how greasy it is, my foundation ends up blending poorly over it.
I find it doesn't make my foundation last any longer, and the redness is not hidden at all.

Maybelline Volum' Express The Rocket Waterproof Mascara

This has been the only mascara I've used in over 2 years. The waterproof formula allows me to keep the curled shape to my lashes while also keeping it from transferring onto my lids or eye bags.
The consistency is very wet when you first open it, but after a while it drys slightly, allowing you to apply a generous amount without any fuss.
The price is awesome for the amazing quality, and I will always have a tube in my drawer.

The texture of this foundation is very neutral. Not too thick, and not too thin!
It's definitely buildable to provide that extra coverage if needed.
Colour range is decent, and blends nicely with other foundations if needing to lighten/darken.
When set with a powder I find it lasts all day with little fading, and has a great texture on the skin.

I'm definitely a drugstore makeup girl, so splurging on high end makeup is scary. I read tons of positive reviews on the Lock-It foundation so I wanted to jump on the band wagon.
The foundations texture is extremely thick, so blending evenly for me was difficult. I tried a damp beauty blender, a brush, my hands but nothing can blend it nicely on my skin. Even with moisturized and primed skin I could never perfect it.
In addition to that, applying other products made it even worse. On multiple attempt's I've tried bouncing bronzer on my forehead with a brush, and I ended up removing the foundation underneath, creating a splotchy texture.
I also find that I need to be heavy handed to cover any blemishes, which for me is not a good thing since the foundation is already thick to begin with.

I purchased my foundation stick at a reduced price, so I decided to give it a try to see the quality.
The colour range is decent, but the amount of product does not seem worth the buy.
It is incredibly easy to apply, but is difficult for me to blend out flawlessly.
The texture is very buttery, so its easy to wipe away accidentally throughout the day.
Since the texture is buttery, if it is not set with a powder it will fade quickly.
Even when powdered the foundation has a slight greasy/buttery feeling and doesn't last as long as a liquid.

I've recently changed my skincare routine, and in hopes for a good moisturizer I definitely found one.
The moisturizer is extremely light weight, making it perfect under makeup in the morning (and also awesome for hot summer days), but it is still thick enough to give me the moisture I need before going to bed.
The scent is very fresh, but a tad bit floral.
The price is very affordable!

I have oily combination skin with dry patches and hormonal acne, so finding a scrub which will actually do the job is sometimes hard to do. This scrub has become a lifesaver for me to help me with my daily acne battle, and I don't know what i'd do without it. The consistency of the scrub is similar to baking soda in water, due to its small "beads" and since they're so small it gets deep into your pores and cleans out all of the dirt and makeup. I love this scrub because its gentle but also very effective at getting my face clean and rid of all old skin cells!
I have already repurchased this product a second time, and I will be buying it for a long time.

I have been a fan of the Fit Me line since the originals came out. I remember buying multiple bottles because they were that good! And once I heard about the Matte and Poreless version, I knew I had to buy it!
I have oily combination skin with acne, so the best foundation for me is one created to become matte.
I have used this foundation with and without a primer, and I have to say its quickly become one of my favourites! I can always depend on it to cover acne, stay put throughout the day, and stay matte for a long time!
Since its summer, staying matte is impossible, but it does an amazing job at staying on my face even if I sweat.
My rough guess at the longevity would have to be 8 hours for my skin. Once its on, I won't touch up and I won't remove it until the end of the night.
I highly recommend this foundation to anyone who has skin similar to mine, but my guess is it would be amazing for almost all skin types!
