              Sold: Drugstores

              Price: $5.00 – $7.00

              Review:

              Pros
              • Sets to a powdery finish
              • Very matte
              • Great for oily skin
              • Cheap!
              • High coverage
              • Makes face look flawless

              Cons

              • Only lasts for a few hours – then it starts to look like its separating (on oily skin)
              • Oxidizes so much! In only a few minutes, it turns a ton darker a little orangey
              • Not a good shade range – especially for lighter skin tones (the lightest is too dark for me)

              Review:

              Pros
              • Very bright
              • Lightens up any look
              • No shimmer
              • A very unique color
              • Works great as a lipstain
              • Would look great on any skintone
              Cons
              • Can almost be a little too bright for some looks, but it’s easy to blot any excess away

              Review:

              Pros

              • Very moisturizing

              Cons

              • Can not be used as a day eye crème, because it can feel very greasy (unless you’re eye area is extremely dry!)
