I like the Garnier micellar waters. The pink bottle formula takes it off just as well as the blue bottle formula, which is supposed to be for waterproof and long wear makeup. I see no difference in the performance of these two waters. The blue bottle has oil in it, you have to remember to shake it first. I'm not a fan of putting oil anywhere near my eyes, so I mostly use the pink, oil …Read more
Bought this all delighted with the multiple matte shades. I was attracted to the peachy-orangey colors, they are hard to find in a palette and this has several. So, I bought. And it sits. I just don't use it because the colors mud up on me, don't blend well, and are very repetitive on my lid. Matte shouldn't mean dry and powdery, but this is. With and without primers, it just …Read more
Me = primer junkie. Always searching for the holy grail eye primer that will cover any imperfections on the lids and keep the shadow where it belongs for more than a few hours. I have this Potion in the purple container, the "Original", and it's pretty good for accomplishing the above requirements. It certainly provides a blank canvas on the lid and completely covers any red …Read more
I've been using this Creme Brulee for many years as my brow bone color. Reasons: it's matte, it applies smoothly, and it covers any imperfections. It's my go-to, casual, day color. For evenings or when I want to do a fuller look, I might put some highlighter on top for a touch of shine. But I always have at least two of these on hand and always will. It's totally neutral …Read more
I've used Dermablend for many years to cover red blotches and imperfections on my face. It's a better formula these days, at least it's moister and it blends easier. I don't know that it covers any better than the original dryer formula though. I used to have to mix the Dermablend with a little moisturizer to get it to spread out evenly, but now it's "wet" …Read more
My housekeeper stole this from me! I was so upset because it was a nearly full container of the "old" formula in the white jar, not this new greasy stuff. I couldn't replace what I lost, so I bought the new stuff in the semi-clear container for $38 at Ulta. The color match is good, but the consistency has changed and not for the better! It feels greasy! The old formula was …Read more
I have this, but I don't use it much. It's just "OK", not great. I don't notice that it makes the eyeshadow stay on any longer, nor does it keep it from creasing. What it IS useful for is giving the lid a monochromatic look. It covers any red spots or skin anomalities. But, so does a good concealer. So, I have it, like it, but don't really use it often as I …Read more
