Brands listed: Rimmel, LA Colors, E.L.F, NYX and Maybelline

Hailey’s Reviews:

Rimmel BB cream 9-in-1 –

This product feels light on my skin, and I really like that it has SPF 20 since sunscreen is super important! This BB cream comes in a matte version and a super matte formula, but I got the radiance formula since I have dry skin. This one is nice because it doesn’t feel oily at all like some do, so I would recommend this if you have combination skin or oily skin as well. (Price 6.99 US dollars)

LA Colors Mosaic Bronzing Powder – This bronzing powder was really nice for its price, I felt like it did do what it promised on the package, and gave me a warm radiant glow. Most bronzing powders can make fair skin look orange, but since this one had mosaic tiles of pink, light brown and darker brown it gave me a nice finish. I loved that it was pretty easy to blend out. (Price 3.59)

E.l.F matte lipcolor – (Color: Rich Red) The product was matte as promised however it came out more pink/coral than bombshell red, as shown in the photo. It is a nice color, just not the one promised by the packaging. (Price 1.99)

Rimmel Match Perfection skin tone adapting concealer – This concealer went on silky smooth and blended easily. As promised, it did conceal dark circles and help “illuminate” the eye area. Since I am really fair skinned, most concealers don’t come in a shade light enough, this one in the shade Fair 125 really worked for me, and they have a good color selection. Most concealers at the drug store come in three shades, but this one had many more. (Price 5.99)

Christine’s reviews:

E.L.F matte lipcolor- I decided to go with the Rich Red color lipstick. The crown was thin making it easy to store places. Its also very easy to put on and doesn’t feel like you’re putting glue on your lips. I like the color, although when i put it on, it came out in a hot pinkish color instead of the Rich Red  i was hoping for. (Price 1.99)

Maybelline New York  Dream Blender- I got this because my other blender wasn’t working for me. At first it kinda looks like the taj mahal, It comes with a handle as well. I find that the handle actually helped a lot. The blender felt very soft on my skin, almost like if you were to put your cheek to a mattress. (Price 5.49)

E.L.F Volumizing Mascara-  This Mascara came in a normal sized container. At first glance it looked like an eyelash primer. Its packaging is white and very smooth. The brush is very thick, and the stick is kinda short. I put a very thin layer on my lashes and it made them seem a lot fuller. (Price 2.24)

NYX Lip liner- (Rose Diaphine) I got this lip liner to match with my other rose colored E.L.F lip gloss. The pencil is very thin, and applying it was very easy (Price 5.49)

Maybelline New York Dream Pure BB cream 8-IN-1 foundation- (Medium sheer Tint)  BB cream is one of my favoite foundation brands. The color works very well with my skin tone, although i feel at times it makes your face feel like you put on a pound of lotion on. (Price 2.99)
