MAC Cremeblend Blush Review

Product: MAC Cremeblend Blush
Shade: So Sweet, So Easy
Type: Cream Blush, Designed to not dry matte
Price: $19.50
Grade: F






Additional Info: This is the only Cremeblend Blush I have ever tried. The other ones may be a better quality. I have seen reviews where people loved this product, however, mine was just terrible. My blush was not even swatchable, the pigmentation was so bad. It was very oily as well. The other reviews that I have seen, seem to have better luck with this product, so maybe I just got a bad one. Either way, I would never re-purchase it. Also, this is the only MAC product I have ever bought that I absolutely hated. So, please don't let this stop you from trying other items.

Revelon Colorburst Lipgloss Review

Product: Revelon Colorburst Lipgloss
Price: $5.79
Shade: #006 Strawberry
Grade: B

This is a new product for the Revelon line. The colors are gorgeous! This one in particular is a bright pink with a blue duochrome shimmer, like MAC's Dazzleglasses. One great thing about a product with a blue duochrome shimmer is it can make your teeth appear whiter! The pigmentation is very nice, it's not completely opaque, but most glosses are not. The formula is not sticky and it did stay put for a couple hours (no eating). The applicator is similar to a doe-foot applicator but the shape is sort of paddle-like. It's completely flat and narrow.

I graded this product a B because although it is average, the price is very reasonable and it is widely available.

Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet + Foundation Review

Product: Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet + Foundation
Type: Liquid, Mattifying, Water-resistant
Price: $34
My Shade: #40 Natural Beige (for med-light skin with yellow undertones)
Grade: A+



Quick Tip:
You do need to shake this product well before using it

Additional Info:
If you are concerned about breakouts, I did not have any issues with this product. However, I did try the MUFE HD Foundation and while it offers decent coverage, it did cause some skin sensitivity for me.
