I Tested New Makeup Releases for Over a Month... Hits or Misses?
IT Cosmetics$34.00Do It All Sheer Tint Face Balmshade · 210 Light Neutral- “It reminded me a little bit of the CoverGirl Olay Simply Ageless cream foundation, because that one starts out as a cream, but as you start applying it, it sort of like melts into a liquid”▶ 1:12
- “When I apply this, I feel like there's enough coverage where it just gives me like a thin veil over everything to create this more even base”▶ 1:51
- “It almost looks like a filter in real life”▶ 1:59
- “Not only is it helping even out discoloration and redness, but I do feel like it makes my texture look smoother”▶ 2:03
- “This does end up drying down where it doesn't feel tacky, it doesn't feel wet on the skin, but it does maintain this radiance”▶ 2:19
- “This starting point is even a little bit too shiny for me, because I know as I move throughout my day, I'm going to get even shinier”▶ 2:41
- “In my opinion, the way this sits on my face, it just does not look like makeup at all”▶ 3:05
- “This does not catch on my dry patches at all”▶ 3:41
- “Do not wear this over makeup primer”▶ 4:16
- “Every time I tested this over primer, I just felt like in general, it looked less natural”▶ 4:28
- “When I wear this product for 8 hours, regardless of if I've powdered, I'm going to be shiny at the end of the day”
- “This product is definitely a hit for me as a tinted moisturizer for light makeup days or no makeup makeup days”
- “I've been wearing this about three times a week every week, which I think makes it a new favorite”▶ 5:23
- “If you have dry skin, or even combo-leaning dry skin, I think you're really going to like this”▶ 5:49
About-Face$22The Illusionist Skin-Focused Concealershade · LMN1- “I have been using and loving the About-Face The Illusionist Concealer for the past couple months”▶ 5:53
- “This has medium buildable coverage. I would say you get to just about full if you build it up”▶ 6:30
- “It has a much creamier consistency than the foundation”▶ 6:36
- “It's non-comedogenic, and it's hydrating with peptides in the formula”▶ 6:41
- “I just find this great for both covering blemishes, dark spots, or even just my under eyes”▶ 6:46
- “As a formula, it is a hit for me, as a shade, it's a hit for me, but with the price factored in, it's just hard for me to put this above what I was already using”▶ 7:48
- “Over $20 for a concealer is pushing it just for me and my buying habits”
About-Face$24.00- “The foundation has very lightweight feeling, but buildable coverage that looks great on my sensitive and textured skin, feels great on my sensitive and textured skin”▶ 6:04
L'Oreal Paris$9.97Lumi Bronze Le Stick Soleil Bronzer Stickshade · Copper Bronzette 120- “This is a cream-to-powder formula, and I really do think that this is different from any bronzer that I currently have in my collection”▶ 8:24
- “It swipes on very smoothly, it just kind of glides over the skin, but as you blend it out, you start getting this silky powdery finish, and it feels incredibly lightweight”▶ 8:43
- “It doesn't have that thick feeling that a lot of other cream bronzers have, especially in stick form”▶ 8:53
- “You get this dry down while still maintaining the radiance it gives you without there being glitter”▶ 8:59
- “This has a very smooth application and blend”▶ 9:07
- “I do think that it pulls a little red on my skin tone”▶ 9:16
- “These shades might look very, very overly warm on people with cooler skin”▶ 9:34
- “The fragrance. Holy hell, the fragrance”
- “I don't know if I have ever tried a product more fragrance than this”▶ 10:17
- “I love the finish. It has this beautiful silky smooth finish”▶ 10:29
- “Overall, I've had a very positive experience with these, but the fragrance sucks and the jury's still out on the shade range”▶ 10:36
- “This is definitely a potential hit. The formula is great”▶ 10:50
L'Oreal Paris$12.99- “This next L'Oreal product was a miss for me. I don't really think it hit on any of the claims”▶ 10:55
- “Right after application, I thought that this looked pretty and felt very comfortable”▶ 11:51
- “I didn't think that this necessarily blurred my lip lines any more than a typical traditional cream lipstick”▶ 11:56
- “It's not a long-lasting formula”▶ 12:06
- “It was definitely coming off of my water bottle straw, and it was pretty much missing in the center of my lips after eating”▶ 12:13
- “It's not a hydrating formula”
- “The drier my lips got throughout the day from not wearing something with, you know, more hydrating ingredients, the more my lip lines looked visible”▶ 12:25
- “I didn't feel like it reapplied smoothly or as smoothly as it went on in the first place. It started catching on my lip dryness and lip texture”▶ 12:44
- “These were a complete miss for me”▶ 12:59
- “I wouldn't buy these for $12 over any of my other go-to lip products”
Versed$11.99Lip Frame Defining Lip Linershade · Sculpt- “These actually nourish the lips while softly defining to give you a fuller lip look”▶ 13:23
- “It's kind of like these and the L'Oreal ones have the same end goal. I just think these do it better”▶ 13:27
- “My favorite is called Sculpt, which is this sort of medium-deep neutral shade. I just think this is great for getting a natural contoured lip look”▶ 13:37
- “These, on the other hand, glide on very easily, and they do have a creamy feel as you apply it, but they stay in place as a lip liner. It doesn't feather on me”▶ 14:36
- “It dries down to sort of a demi-matte finish that stays comfortable, but that isn't slippy”▶ 14:46
- “I do feel like this formula glides over any chapped areas that I have and doesn't accentuate them”▶ 14:53
- “These do not dissolve if I put the Versed tinted serum on top”▶ 15:00
- “Every time I've tested these, they have stayed completely solid without feathering or smearing as a lip liner”▶ 15:44
- “These are a hit, for sure, especially compared to like the last three lip liners I've tested and reviewed”▶ 15:51
- no stillAbout-Face$22Curtain Call Set & Smooth Loose Powdershade · Veil
- “I started a tretinoin skincare regimen over winter, which is like a retinol product that I get from my dermatologist, and is known to dry the skin, and you know, flakiness is a side effect of that”▶ 3:20
