Essence Correct to Perfect powder pearls
I am forever trying to find cool face powders. When it comes to powders I tend to not be too picky: if they make my makeup last I am usually happy. But not all powders are created equal. I had never tried a powder before that comes in this loose pearl form. Or course inspired…

Essence primer & setting sprays
Where yesterday was all about face sprays in the skincare range, today’s blog post is all about the review of some Essence makeup sprays. Because where sprays can be part of your skincare routine, they can also be part of your makeup routine. I have some experience with setting sprays, but a primer spray was…

Too Faced Hangover RX primer
After trying this for weeks on end, I finally feel ready to review this product. In terms of face primer, I do not have too much experience, but that also means that I am going into these kind of products quite blindly. I don’t have a strong preference for a primer yet and all I…

Catrice All Matt Plus Universal
A classic powder in Catrice’s makeup line is their All Matt Plus powder. I used to own this in a skin color shade, but never got around to reviewing it. It wasn’t my favorite because the shade was darker than my skin tone. That wasn’t such a big deal in itself: it worked well on…

Milani eyeshadow primer
Eyeshadow primer is a makeup lovers dream. It makes sure your eyeshadow stays put and makes the color payoff more vibrant. Before I started watching youtube videos I had never even heard of it. It’s really one of those products that has slowly made its way onto the consumer market with the Urban Decay and…

Essence Fresh & Fit Primer
When I spotted that Essence would be bringing out a primer, I was intrigued. 2017 has really been the year of the primer for me so far. I just wanted to try a few and it seems to be a makeup item that is becoming more and more popular too. That is of course why…

Urban Decay Primer Potion
Let’s talk classics shall we? There are a few makeup products that are revered in the makeup world and Urban Decay’s Primer Potion is definitely one of them. It is a cult favorite and one of my all time favorite makeup products. Time to do a full review. Urban Decay Primer Potion

MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder Pressed
Today’s review features an oldie but a goodie: a product that I used up, repurchased, but just never had gotten round to reviewing just yet. What can I say: it happens. I’m talking about one of my favorite powders on the make up market. I discovered the MAC Prep+Prime Transarent Finishing Powder when my Mineralized…

Catrice Light Correcting serum primer
The first product from Catrice’s new range that I would like to review for you is the Light Correcting Serum Primer. Why? Because next to the face palette it’s the product that intrigued me most. I went on a major primer kick this year. Before I was quite skeptical of primers, but I can see…

Catrice Prime & Fine Mattifying Powder Waterproof
That a good face powder doesn’t have to cost much was already proven by the Catrice Nude Illusion Loose powder. But since loose powders can be quite messy, I prefer a pressed version. After hearing loads of good stuff about this waterproof powder by Catrice, I decided to give it a go. Will it mattify…

Catrice Prime and Fine Make Up Transformer Drops Lightening
I don’t know about you, but many of the foundations on the market are too dark for my skin tone. Luckily, more and more brands are putting out drop that can transform your foundation to the right shade. Usually there are two varieties available: a lightening and a darkening version. Catrice has come out with…

Bobbi Brown pressed powder
Last year I decided that one brand I hadn’t tried many products of was Bobbi Brown. Then one day, a Bobbi Brown counter opened in my town and I went in to get a few products. I bought and already reviewed a foundation stick, a corrector and a shimmer brick. Today I will be reviewing…

Bourjois Healthy Balance powder
I thought I’d take a break from all the eyeshadow reviews I’ve been doing and switch things up this week. So after my new favorite face product and some lipsticks, it’s time to look at a face powder. The Bourjois Healthy Balance powder to be precise. This powder is one that is raved about by…

Banana powders: Make Up Studio vs W7
I don’t necessarily believe in trends, make up trends in particular. From strong contours to perfect brows: when I do my make up I like to keep things fairly simple and basic. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t want to try some products that are center to the hype. One such hyped product? Banana…

Too Faced Primed & Poreless
I wasn’t in the market for a new setting powder. But when I had my make up applied by a Too Faced MUA at the Times Square Sephora in New York, I really really liked the effect this gave to my make up. I hadn’t heard or read much about this yet and so I…
-
Catrice Nude Illusion loose powder
I don’t think I have ever reviewed a face powder before. It’s not because I don’t use it. In fact, I use one whenever I wear make up. It’s just that I always use the same one for a long time and don’t switch it up too much. But when I saw that Catrice would…

Catrice Prime and Fine Eyeshadow Base
New in Catrice’s spring/ summer 2015 make up range is an eyeshadow base. I just recently ran out of my Too Faced Shadow Insurance and figured I would try out this out. This is the first drugstore eyeshadow primer I have ever used so with trying this out, I’m not only trying a new product…
