    This review is specifically for the Soft Pinch Liquid Blush. As a former powder-blush-only gal, I'm reformed! These liquid blushes are my new HG. Packaging: I love that they take up way less room in my makeup bag, and the doe foot applicator makes it easy to control the amount of product you use. Color: The color payoff on these is amazing. I wipe all excess product off the applicator on the inside of the bottle before dabbing three dots on each cheek, and that's plenty! These are high pigment but not clown-like and very easy to blend and build color. I have three shades so far: Happy (soft pink), Love (terracotta red), and Believe (mauve), and all look equally beautiful! Seems like these bottles will last despite becoming my go-to blush. Another thing I love is that they look great no matter whether I'm trying to do a low-key look (sunscreen, concealer, blush, mascara), or a full-face. They also don't feel sticky or slick, even in hot and humid weather.

    HIgh quality, inexpensive. and effective skincare products without the markup. Lactic Acid 10% is nearly a dupe for Sunday Riley Good Genes at 1/8th the price! I'm a huge fan of their Squalene wash, Azaleic Acid, and Marula Oil (another great swap for the way-pricier Drunk Elephant version). Products are on the small size, but they're releasing more size options in some products, and on the flip side, it's a good way to figure out what works for you without spending too much or wasting a ton of product.

    I’ve tried four products from Glossier: Skywash, Boy Brow, Generation G Lipstick, and Cloud Paint. Of those products, I would only buy the lipstick again. Love that they’re buildable - you can really customize the intensity, but the caps are pretty weak and often pop off. The boy brow was my least favorite. The formula is very thick and dries quickly, so if you don’t work fast, your brows become a gunky mess that dries and becomes flaky. I found the cloud paint to be less blendable than I hoped (they are nicely pigmented though). I found the Skywash to be very drying, and there’s so little product in the tube!

    Better packaging (lipstick caps pop off, the Skywash tube dries the product out quickly and there’s not much product to begin with). I know a ton of people love Boy Brow, but the formula didn’t work for me.

    Really expedited healing and prevented scaring.

    Would buy again for sure, though it’s on the pricy side (considering it’s just a hydrocolloid bandaid that’s sized for blemishes).
