This is, by far, the best primer I have ever used. Though the container it comes in is very small, do not be fooled, it will last a long time as only a tiny amount (small than a pea) is needed to prime your whole face. It contains sunscreen 20 and is paraben free. It can be worn on it's own, and will provide a smooth matte look. When used with foundation, it has made drugstore foundation stay on the whole day, when it normally wouldn't and other primers didn't make it stay on as long. It is a little bit on the pricier end in comparison to other popular products, but it is certainly worth every penny. It feels weightless on skin and it is scent free. It can be purchased at any Visage store or online. -

This particular primer comes in three shades - clear, lavender and green. All work wonders to create a thin layer between the skin and makeup to prevent the skin from absorbing everything you put on it, and to make sure your makeup stays in place. The lavender shade was created to help correct yellow tones and the green to correct red tones, as these primers can be worn on their own just to provide a smooth finish on the skin. I love using the clear one as a pea sized amount is enough to cover my entire face, make it smooth, and then ensure my makeup stays on. Highly recommend. -

This highlighter is absolutely AMAZING and the fact that y'all are sleepin on it is heartbreaking. It's similar to the benefit high beam highlighter except it applies better and is half the price. The way it illuminates your face with tiny little sparkles is mesmerizing, you are guaranteed to steal the spotlight with this. The applicator and bottle look like nail polish and the product itself is a creamy liquid. You can put the product on a sponge and then on your face, or just paint a line directly on your face where you want the highlighter on and then spread it with a sponge, beauty blender, or even using your finger. This highlighter also lasts which is key for me. Most of the ones I've tired smear easily or fade after a couple of hours. And oh, this one has a very pleasant delicate smell. -

I love every single one of the Duo Chromatic Illuminating Powders but this shade was the first one I purchased. It's a pink/purple tint when illuminated, but otherwise it looks almost invisible on the cheek or highlighted areas. The only downside is that I find it fades so quickly... After about 3-4 hours there's only a little of it left on the face, so it needs to be reapplied through the day. -

I love this brush as it was perfectly designed to match the NYX Total Control Drop Foundation which is currently my go to foundation. The brush is very soft and it seems to glide across your face. The bristles are curved and angled making it easy and quick to apply across your entire face. If you're using it with the drop foundation, I recommend applying the foundation drops to the face directly and then going over them with the brush rather than applying the drops to the brush. I find that the bristles are not thick enough and the drops just go straight to the bottom of the brush and you will be going through more product than necessary. I must also point out that our friends over the border are getting a better deal on it. The brush costs $25CAD, but only $14USD and for extra $2 they can get it engraved, which does make me a little jealous as I love personalized items. -

This setting spray really is long lasting and I do notice a difference on the days I use it and the days I don't. For the price it comes at, it's a must have. I have had some setting sprays that did last a little longer on hotter days when it feels like my face might melt, but this still worked great. The bottle also last for quite some time, even if you use the product daily. -

This is a very pigmented eye shadow with lots of sparkle. It's easy to apply and it stays on really well. The colour selection available in the store near me was mostly blues and greens which isn't exactly my choice for everyday makeup, but it looked phenomenal as part of my costume on Halloween. The selection online has more colours which I would be willing to try on a more day-to-day basis or special occasions. -

I love the soft matte lip cream series - it's very long lasting and it comes at a great price. I much prefer the matte finish over a glossy one as my hair won't stick to my lips on a windy day. The Madrid colour is currently my go to - a dark red with a pink undertone. These lip creams can be applied in full volume, or just gently smeared on your lip for a bit of tint.
Editor's note: this review is based on the shade "Madrid."

NYX #NOFILTER finishing powder
This powder is amazing - it comes in the same shades as the foundations so it's easy to match. A smooth, light, long lasting finish. Downside is that it doesn't come with a puff which is a little unusual for pressed powder so you will need to buy it... +
This powder is amazing - it comes in the same shades as the foundations so it's easy to match. A smooth, light, long lasting finish. Downside is that it doesn't come with a puff which is a little unusual for pressed powder so you will need to buy it separately or use a brush. It will cover up any shine. Make sure to brush excess off your face as well or it will tint anything your face touches! -

I absolutely LOVE these lotions. They come in variety of scents, and the smell is very pleasant for all of them and quite long lasting. This product is gentle on skin and I have not had any issues with it though my skin is sensitive. It is designed for daily use as a moisturizing body lotion and it has done wonders for my skin drying out in winter. It will leave your skin feeling smooth and soft. -
