L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Original Mascara

Pretty good!

Though the comb applicator can induce clumping and difficulty to control with your first applications, it does make for a buildable application that if combed through can give you great defined lashes, it keeps your lashes soft and wears well through the day, I like it!

Biore Warming Anti-Blackhead Cream Cleanser

Pure gimmick!

The heat/warming sensation is just a gimmick that has no benefit for acne, blackheads, or the skin in general. And the amount of salicylic acid is useless because it's washed off before it can help your skin, mediocre and useless.

Maybelline New York Volum' Express Falsies Flared Washable

Worse than the original.

Flakes, clumps and doesn't make my lashes resemble false eyelashes in any way shape or form. They made my lashes look spidery, clumpy and just really, really unattractive, not good at all, only positives are the packaging and the price!

Almay Clear Complexion Concealer

Not that bad!

Though the salicylic acid isn't effective cause of the high pH, it's still a good concealer with a nice dry matte finish, it's adept at covering blemishes, just don't use it on your undereye area (it does contain acid after all!

Estee Lauder Signature Silky Powder Blush

Not that great.

Smooth with an even application, but I found the texture to be dry and flaky, you should also be careful with the pigmentation level because without noticing you can go overboard, the high price is also typical of Estee Lauder.

Urban Decay Afterglow Blush

Amazing!

Goes on soft and sheer and gives the most stunning lit-from-within glow, I love how easily it blends and it suits daytime and nighttime wear, the texture and finish aren't slick or greasy, so wonderful.

Benefit CORALista

Great shimmery coral pink!

I love that women of colour can use this blush as a highlighter, and women with lighter skin can use it as a shimmery coral pink that adds a real pick-me-up to the cheeks, it wears well throughout the day but I can't recommend the included brush, or the price, nevertheless a good investment blush :)

Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Blush

Cute packaging, but that's where the novelty ends.

Though the packaging is so, freaking, cute, I can't recommend this blush due to the overwhelming fragrance and the high amount of cornstarch which is an issue for those who have blemish prone skin as it can feed the bacteria.

bareMinerals Blush

Difficult to apply and control, but once you get the hang of it!

The application can be soft and pretty even to apply once you get the hang of it, but at first it is so loose and difficult to determine how much product you need. Not everyone will be comfortable with the price but the product itself isn't bad!

CoverGirl Cheekers Blush

Love the shades, hate the product!

I found cheekers (though the name is adorable) incredibly dry and flaky in texture, and gave me a very blotchy uneven look. The brush that comes with it is useless, and the lasting power is useless.
