Review: Poudre Demophile De T. LeClerc Loose Powder in Parme




The loose powder comes in a vintage inspired jar. This makes me think of Paul & Joe.
It looks quite classic on any dressing table.



It comes with a mesh sifter, this idea was formed when makeup first became big in the 1920s. 



The Shade Parme is purple tinted, to give the skin a brighter lighter look. 



Its more noticable on the face, I have a video with this product in use (MakeupThatSmiles "Bella Swan Real Movie Wedding Makeup")
You can see what it really looks like better in that video.



The product outside case isnt anything special.

Review: Juile Hewett Cheekie in Destiny




The product Package is simple.



The shade I got, was in destiny. Fun Fact: This color was used in one of the twilight movies on Bella. 



The compact is simple, a mirror to see the application of the product to the cheeks or lips. This makes this product ten times better, a two in one. In blends nicely into the skin if you choose to use it as a blush. And on the lips it adds that your lips but better color. I know that saying is so over used. 



I swatched the color on the hand, as you can see its a nude rosey color. Its perfect for everyday.

Review: Paul & Joe Protective Fluid Foundation




My favorite thing about Paul & Joe products is the packaging. To me its to die for. Who wouldnt enjoy the vintage packaging? 



The shade I wear is 100 (Similar to MAC NC15-NW20)
Paul & Joe mostly use yellow based foundations and skin makeup.



One of the best points of the packaging is that the foundation already has a pump, unlike some other high end foundations ive tried, hint hint NARS and MAC.



As I said before, the foundation is yellow tinted (warm skined tones normally use yellow tinted face makeup), I normally go for pink toned productions, however this product applies so slikly that it didnt matter.



As you can tell the foundation blend very well into my skin. This product get work on oily skin and dry skintypes, however make sure you moisterize before hand. This foundation also has a tad bit of a glow to it, simailar to NARS Sheer Glow. I would say the coverage is sheer to medium. 

Product Break Down:
Price: 3/5 ($48.00 Its price is near chanels price range)
Packaging: 4.5/5 (a high point on the product)
Product: 4/5 (sliky to touch) 
Overall Score: 4/5

Review: RAW Color Perfect Balance Concealer & Highlighter Trio





The trio comes in a sleek compact and is travel friendly. The box that the trio comes in looks similar to stila packing.



I got the shade light, this product was gifted to me by DermStore as a gift with purchase.



The product it self has two concealer shades and a highlight. One on the concealer shades is a more yellow while the other one is more pink tone, neither of the two shades match my skin tone.



I swatched all three on my hand, yellow toned concealer, pink toned concealer and champagne highlighter. All three of these are very dry and hard to blend out, I'm glad that this was a gift with purchase because this would be a product I regret buying.

In honor of spring I'm doing spring cleaning, so ill be tossing this product out.

Product Break Down:
Price: 1/5 (this is over $30.00 it's not worth the price)
Packaging: 3/5 (a high point on the product)
Product: 1/5 (dry and hard to blend out)

I would not buy this again and I'm really unhappy with it!

Review: Giorgio Armani Micro Loose Powder





The powder comes in sleek packaging, it's not travel friendly but it sure looks luxuries.



This powder also comes with a powder puff, now I'm not a gal who likes puffs but over this past month I've come to love them, it's easy and effortless to apply powder with a puff!



The powder also comes protected with a tape cover so no powder comes out before you buy it, how ever if you don't keep the puff in the packaging after you open it, powder can come out, if it tips over when your not using it.



The shade I got is 00 which is translucent, this shade is great if you want a powder that will set your makeup but not add extra coverage. I swatched a small amount of powder on my skin to show that the powder is white (translucent).

I think it's a nice powder, however I wouldn't repurchase it.

The packaging is simple gold with brown writing.



The lipstick packaging is gold.

Review: Chantecaille Future Skin Gel Foundation





The foundation comes in a jar, which is nice for traveling.



I got the lightest shade in porcelain. I'm NC15 in MAC for reference.



The foundation is a gel formula.



On skin, unblended.



Blended into skin, it's a perfect match for me. It's a sheer to medium coverage. It feels light on the skin, and is good for people who have acne prone skin. It's good for both dry and oily skin types.

Price 3/5

This is my new HG foundation, it looks great when your looking for a foundation that looks like skin hence the name 'future skin'.

Spring 2013 Paul & Joe Eye Colors.



Paul & Joe Eye Color in 083, this has white cats on the packaging.



Shade 083



The shadow comes with a sponge tip applicator.



The product also has an overlay of a unicorn, this is an overlay done with a tiny layer of white eye shadow. I would buy this product just for the unicorn because it will disappear after 4-5 uses.



I swatched this on my hand (light green, overlay white, and dark green) each of the shadows are more pigmented in person.
