LOreal Infallible Lip Paint
- Can’t handle the scent
Tarte Quench Lip Rescue in Nude
- Glides on so easily and feels amazing, but it’s too creamy. The lipstick broke off after only a few uses.
Makeup Geek Lip Products
- I LOVE Makeup Geek and I was so excited when they came out with lip products. I bought a bundle off Hautelook and I was SO disappointed. The colors were so patchy and I couldn’t get an even application. The shades are gorgeous but the formula needs some work.

Tarte Timeless Smoothing Primer
- I’ve heard this is the BEST pore filling primer out there so naturally I had to try it. It definitely smooths the skin, but didn’t blur or fill in my pores.
Tarte Poreless Primer
- Like the other Tarte primer, it smoothed but didn’t blur or fill in my pores.
Urban Decay Optical Illusion Primer
- Same story, smoothed but didn’t blur or fill in my pores.
The Body Shop Wonder Blur Primer
- I don’t like SUPER silicone-y primers and this was too silicone-y and slippery for me.

Wet n Wild Micellar Water
- I love the Garnier Micellar water and this one was even more affordable so I gave it a whirl. It’s WAY too oily to be labeled as a micellar water. I don’t like oily eye makeup removers or anything like that so this was a no go.

Models Own Matte Runway Foundation
- I love that is affordable and that there is actually a shade that matches me, but this broke up really bad on my skin.
Anastasia Stick Foundation
- Again, there was actually a shade that matched me in this line, but this foundation is VERY matte and doesn’t look good on my dry skin. It was very cakey and just not a good look.
NYX #NoFilter Finishing Powder
- I don’t have oily skin, but this made me so OILY. It’s got a gorgeous finish, but it’s not my friend.
Anastasia Concealer
- The lightest shade, 0.5, was WAY too dark for me. (I don’t think they make this anymore)
Kat Von D Lock It Powder
- I know this works for some people, but no matter how much or how little or what tool I used to apply this, I looked like a major cake face. It didn’t work when my skin was oily and definitely not now that my skin is dry.
Kat Von D Lock It Brightening Powder
- I really wanted this to work because I love a bright undereye but all the shades were too dark. KVD usually looks out for us pale girls, but she missed the mark on that one.
CoverFX Illuminating Powder
- YALL I have never had a makeup product look SO bad on my skin. Thank goodness I only bought the travel size to try out because this powder is AWFUL. It emphasized every pore and imperfection.
