This highlighter is everything. If you are the WOC you need this in your life. Mírame is a bronzer based rose gold highlighter that looks so amazing. Literally, have been wearing it ever since I got it. The formula of the highlighter is super creamy and pigmented, it melts into the skin. I feel like it gives me the Instagram highlights we see all the time. I suggest using a light hand cause it can go left really quickly. I found that if I apply too much is also looks silvery which is not good on my skin. -

OMG, I have been sleeping on this highlight. I have been using since I got and I can’t put it down. The formula and consistency of the highlighter is smooth and buttery. It is not chalky on my skin at all and it is a bling highlight without emphasizing the texture. This highlight shade is the perfect colour for me and I really interested in getting Precious Petals. -

Well, I don't own the foundation. But looking and holding it while in Sephora, I can tell you that it looks sleek and expensive. You would not know it is plastic while it was sitting there until you pick it up. I am not bothered by the plastic bottle.The formula of this foundation is a velvety cream formula. I find that the consistency of this foundation is not too thick. After applying the foundation, it did feel a little sticky on the face but it set on my face with a soft matte finish. It is was not flat, but it was not radiant either. The longevity of this foundation is pretty good. It wore nicely after 12 hours. Though the foundation wears nicely in the face, it is not transferred proof but it is fade-proof.I have two issues with this foundation. The first thing being the friggin' fragrance of the foundation. Oh man, I can't stand it.My second issues are the shade selection. I was played by the shades online. But I thought the 30 shades was good for light, medium and tan. But, Huda, girl, you can improve by expanding the shade range. If I am the darkest shade (550R) that is a problem. -

This Loose Powder has changed my makeup game. This is one of the best powder I have tried and I have a backup. This powder is finely milled and the coverage on this powder is out of the world. It is a low coverage, but it makes you look like you have foundation and powder on your face. It keeps helps control your oils on your skin and stay matte for a good amount of time. The way I apply the powder is with a damp beauty blender to set my face or just a powder brush and I love how my skin looks with both applications. You need to get this powder. -

I swear this mascara had to be the most hype drugstore mascara. Literally, I don't even know how it happens. But all the hype around this mascara is really. This mascara is the perfect for volume and length. It is an all-around amazing mascara. It lengthen and curls my shot lashes and I love it. I have repurchased this mascara three times. It has been compared to Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara. They both have the same wand style, but since I have not tried out the Too Faced mascara, I do not know the formula. The formula on this mascara is not too dry or wet, but my only thing is that this mascara pulls out a lot of the formula, so just be aware of that. -

I have purchased this mascara a few times and I love the wand and the formula one this. It is actually in my top mascara from the drugstore. The shape of wand helps curl your lashes, giving your lashes the appearance of being longer, but it just more lift and volume. I have short lashes and this mascara does wonders for me. -

I received this product as part of the product review club.
I have combination skin and I have been looking for a goo primer that hydrates my skin but was inexpensive. This Nivea primer definitely did that. It is a gel consistency and has instant absorption. It is literally the perfect primer combination/oily skin. This double as my moisturizer as well. I guess that is the 2 in 1 for me.
It does not control oil at all. I haven't really noticed a different in how long my makeup wears, but all I know is my face us hydrated and I can feel it when I apply the primer to my face. The one thing I can tell you do not use a lot of this primer because it will ball up in hands and on the face. A little goes a long way. The fragrance is not too strong, it smells like every other Nivea product on the market.

As part of the Product Review Club, I was given the chance to test out Vichy Acne Care Kit. The Vichy Normaderm Corrective Anti-Acne Treatment 24H hydrating lotion is the last step in the acne care kit. This moisturizer is very hydrating, which I am not use to an acne treatment. The lotion smells like salicylic acid, but it not an overpowering smell. I do like the moisturizer, but I don't know if I am completely sold on it. I feel like after I applied the lotion is has a tacky feel to my face,which dries, but it initial feel tacky. It also broke me out on my nose, I got a massive under my skin on my nose, I look like Rudolph. I used a different acne cream to help with my breakout before applying this lotion on top and I worked beautifully I would recommend that if you are using this moisturizer, you should use an acne treatment that will target the acne and breakouts. I have been using this for two weeks, and I will continue to try it out. It does not control oily or reduce my pores at all, but I guess with time I will see the difference. -

As part of the Product Review Club, I was given the chance to test out Vichy Acne Care Kit. The Vichy Normaderm Purifying Pore-Tightening Lotion is the first toner I have ever used that has sayalic acid and glycolic acid. It was formulated for oily and acne prone skin. I have combination skin and I found in the two weeks that I tried this, my skin did not feel dry at all. The first ingredient in this toner is alcohol, which is a bad for oily and acne prone skin because it strips the skin. My skin did not feel dry after applying this. To me, it felt like I was a applying a hydrating toner on my face, but it has the properties for salicylic acid and glycolic acid. I have nothing, but good things to say about this toner. How this toner feels in my face reminds me of the Neutrogena Alcohol Free Toner. The only thing, I have say is it does tighten the pores at all. Other than that, this toner is amazing and it has been moved into my skincare routine. -

As part of the Product Review Club, I was given the chance to test out Vichy Acne Care Kit. The Vichy Normaderm Deep Cleansing Purifying Gel claims it is "an ultra gentle soap free, alcohol free cleansing gel deeply cleanses sebum and impurities without over drying or irritating the skin. Its ingredients have purifying, antibacterial and keratolytic actions to help prevent new imperfections from popping up". I really enjoyed using this cleanser. The fragrance of the cleanser has a pleasant smell and it does live to the claims that is a gentle soap that is not over drying to the skin. I found that when I wash my face, my face did not feel tight or dry. I felt like to cleanser did clean my skin, well. I don't know if clean my sebum well, but I does remove makeup well. I would recommend this cleanser to any with combination, oily skin and acne prone skin. I have not tried a cleanser that is similar to this.
Overall, I really enjoyed this cleanser and I would probably repurchase this cleanser, because it is what I look for in cleanser to make sure that my combination skin is hydrated. This cleanser is part of the water line, so it cleans and hydrate the skin. I would recommend people to try Vichy line.
