Stila

I got this in Fair, and the color matches me great in winter, better than the Dr. Jart Ceramidin Day Tint (which has more yellow in it). It's light coverage, which is what I wanted. You do need to make sure you rub to apply it evenly. I like that it's a mineral sunscreen. It works great for me in the winter as one step because I don't need much SPF where I live.

The only thing I'm confused about is the mention of glitter. Mine is not glittery at all.

I had to have this, and Ulta didn’t have it in their shelves yet; I had to order it online and guess about the color. At that time, there were no reviews here, and the few I found online weren’t too positive. I love anything that’s a skin tint or serum type of foundation, so this was irresistible. It runs $38.00.

First, these colors aren’t great. I wasn’t sure if I needed light/medium or medium for my NC40 olive skin. I went with light/medium, and it’s a bit darker and peachier than I would like. The product is sheer enough that it wasn’t a deal breaker.

This product comes in a heavy, glass jar that you could confidently use as a weapon. There won’t be any traveling with this container. On the plus side, you get a ton of mousse-like product, and a little goes a long way.

The product has glitter; I could see it on the back of my hand when I swatched it, but is seems to completely disappear after application.

Here’s where things get challenging. I have very dry skin, and I usually use Clinique smart oil as my morning moisturizer, after serums. I dotted this all over and went after it with my beloved Eco Tools foundation brush. It was awful. Splotchy, smeary, sitting in pores. I kept at it, trying to work quickly, because this has an odd, dry texture, even over the oil. With aggressive buffing, it suddenly worked. It melded into the skin and disappeared, heaving a beautiful, truly skin-like finish. I was confused at first; had I buffed-it all off? No, the skin looked gorgeous, but it was work to get it there. The next day I used a cream based moisturizer and a beauty blender; the same thing happened; very bad then very good.

Does it stick to dry patches? A bit, but not as much as Armani maestro.

I’m not hung up on longevity. It’s makeup; it’s going to fade. I’m interested in something fading gracefully, and this does. It lasted through the day and running afterwards, not completely, but gracefully.

No sunscreen.

Would I repurchase? I can’t imagine running out of this! Firm maybe, but I tend to get bored with things. It’s not an HG like MAC Face and Body, but I like it.

Very thick shadow formula, looks caked on. Makes my 40's lids look super textured and wrinkly. Pigmentation better than Bobbi Brown but not the best.

This is one of the absolute worst liquid eyeliners I have ever used. I couldn't believe what I looked like after less than two houra. Don't even attempt a cat eye with this. It wears off and smudges badly. Awful. Just AWFUL. Back to Sephora it goes. Back to Blinc eyeliner I go.

I received several of these for free from Ulta with a code. I’ll use it because it was free, but I certainly wouldn’t buy it. It clumps very quickly upon using the product.
