🌱 Brand Story: L’oreal Paris is quite literally the world’s largest cosmetics mega-company. Many of the cosmetics you own are probably owned by a sub-brand of L’oreal. I am more critical of large companies who have the capability of making better products. 🌱 Claims: Alcohol-free, Paraben-free, Sulfate-free, Fragrance-free**, Oil-free, Fungal Acne-Safe “Full matte coverage that lasts up to 24 hours. Waterproof, sweat-resistant, heat-resistant, and transfer-proof” 🌱 Shade: #20 Ivory 🌱 Key Ingredients: This formula contains talc and silicone in the form of dimethicone. There is one skin enhancing ingredient, Alaria Esculenta Extract which comes from algae, but it’s so low on the ingredients list you could easily ignore it. This product contains many unnecessary fragrance additives, including Hexyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Salicylate, Linalool, Alpha Isomethyl Ionone, and Citronellol, all of which are considered skin irritants. I really wish companies would stop putting fragrance in skincare and cosmetics. We already wear perfume, which probably smells better than the cheap synthetic ingredients added to our makeup. 🌱 Notes: For the claims? 🌱 Waterproof: Eh, kinda. If it starts to rain your face won’t be ruined, but you can’t swim in this. 🌱 Sweat-resistant: YES! This is the foundation I use when I am on my bike exercising. When I layer it over top of sunscreen, it stays put and does not budge or smear or melt. 🌱 Heat-resistant: I’m honestly not sure what they mean by this. It doesn’t oxidise. Are you going near any volcanoes in your makeup? I live in Canada where heat isn't really an issue. 🌱 Transfer-proof: Mostly. Depending on where you are in the day and how oily your skin gets this powder can soften up a bit, but for the most part it remains in place quite well. I would not wear a pure white collar around it, but you can safely go about your day. 🌱 Combination foundation and setting powder: YES! This is how I prefer to use it, brushed on top of sunscreen. It really does set itself down like a finishing powder. Keep in mind, I do have dry skin, so those with oily skin, YMMV. 🌱 Texture: This is a very finely milled powder, easily picked up by a brush or sponge. It doesn’t sink into lines or pores. 🌱 Price: $23CA for 9g or $2.5/gram. About average price, You won’t be going through a ton of this unless you are going for thick matte coverage every day. 🌱 Application: This product behaves very differently depending on how you apply it. If you directly layer it on with a sponge, you will get a matte, full-coverage look. It’s quite velvety, but does look like makeup. Too much will get cakey, as all powder foundations do. Personally, I prefer to apply my sunscreen, and then with a brush, use this as a combination foundation and setting powder. I can get a lovely light-medium airbrushed finish that remains satin-matte even when I am on my bike and sweating. This powder is great for active people since it doesn’t smear or drip. 🌱 Other uses: Even if you have the perfect liquid product, a powder foundation that truly matches your skin is a great thing to have just for detail work. It helps to clean up eye makeup, to soften and blend out looks, or to fix your hairline. 🌱 Overall: If you’ve never tried a powder foundation before because you’re afraid of it being cakey or pore-clogging, give this one a shot, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

I absolutely love the lash princess mascara from Essence cosmetics. This is an every day mascara that really pops my lashes, by creating length, curl, and volume in one shot. It has a conical shaped fiber brush that coats my lashes with thin layers so I can build up the mascara as much as I want. There is no clumping or globs when I put it on my lashes. It does not flake or fade. This is one of my all-time favorite mascaras! And at such an affordable price point, I always have it in my makeup pouch.

This is my favorite corrector🫶🏻 I have a very delicate eye contour that dries out easily and this concealer is the only one that naturally covers imperfections without being too heavy. Super natural effect!!

use this product especially in spring and summer to fix my make up and I really like it! the mist is fine and pleasant, dries quickly and really does what it says on the tin! Keeps skin matte and makeup in place all day. being fragrance-free, I find it perfect for sensitive skin. the price is more than honest.

Es una paleta muy completa, cremosidad espectacular de sus mates con algunas fórmulas crema/polvo. Shimmer muy elegantes que tienen bastante opacidad. Los tonos morados son preciosos y me encanta como lucen en la piel morena. Muy muy fáciles de difuminar y trabajar con ellas. La combinación de colores es fácil de hacer y la sombra duocromo es INCREÍBLE.

I do have black eyebrow and medium skin tone and I got the shade Black. It is a good starter eyebrow pencil. It is cheap eyeliner on market but regardless it do its job. It has a dual sided retractable portion, one with fine tip for eyebrow application accuracy and the other side is with a spoolie end for grooming and shaping brow hairs. It has a creamy smudge proof formula, great for everyday use. I like the precision tip of this liner because it helps apply evenly around the eyebrow lining and you have the choice and control if you want to be thinner or more broader appearance of your eyebrows.
