FACE:
Foundation / Blush / Bronzer (from left to right) -
Revlon Colorstay for Normal / Dry Skin in 240 Medium Beige: Claims to "wear for 16 hours and provide a flawless, lightweight feel"
PROS
- Medium coverage
- Dewy and soft when applied
- Buildable
- It goes on really smooth and blends with my skin really well.
- The color is a little on the pink side, but it definitely goes well with my warm tone. I would describe it as a golden, fresh medium beige with a hint (and I mean the smallest of the small of hints) of rose.
-It has about an 8 hour staying power.
CONS
- Packaging makes it hard to control the amount of product that comes out of the bottle
OVERALL RATING
- I'm happy with this foundation, I wear it everyday with no problems like breakouts or anything. 8.5 out of 10

Almay Bright Eyes Eye Base / Concealer in 145 Medium:
PROS
- Versatile use as a concealer and eye shadow base
- Yellow / orange color helps conceal dark circles very well
- Good packaging, controllable product release
CONS
- I don't really have any complaints about this product, it works well for what it's intended for.
OVERALL RATING
- I like this concealer and eye shadow base, it saves money of having to buy the products separately, good color match. 9 out of 10

Bonnebell My Style Concealer in Light:
PROS
- I guess the only positive thing I have to say about this is the packaging is okay.
CONS
- The color doesn't match my skin
- It just doesn't compare to the Almay concealer
- Too 'white' not enough color in the product
OVERALL RATING
- 3 out of 10

bareMinerals Original SPF 15 Foundation in Medium Beige N20 & Matte Foundation in Medium Tan 3C: Claims to improve the look of your skin over time, and that you can sleep in it.
PROS
- Good coverage
- Buildable
- Good color, it's almost that you can change the color of the product depending on how much you apply
CONS
- Not good for dry / flaky skin (which I have)
- Doesn't last very long if you don't set it
OVERALL RATING
- I do love bareMinerals products, this product just doesn't work for me because of my dry skin. It makes me stand out more than it naturally does so I stay away from it. If I do use it, I use it to powder my T-zone so it's not too oily. 7 out of 10

Physician's Formula in Peach to Glow:
PROS
- Pretty, soft, peachy beige color
- Some sparkle

CONS

- A little bit chalky
OVERALL RATING
- 6 out of 10

i.d. bareMinerals Natural Light in Well Lit:
PROS
- Amazing highlighter for cheek and brow bone
- Not too sparkly, it's more of a light shimmer
- Really sheer and buildable
CONS
- You kind of need a lot of product for it to "show up, show up" but if your using it as a highlight you don't need it to do that. I really enjoy this product. 8 out of 10
----
Bed Head by TIGI Glow Mineral Illuminator: "to highlight under eyes, cheek bones or anywhere you want to illuminate"
PROS:
- I like the packaging
- Nice for a brow bone highlight
- It looks pretty...in the bottle
CONS
- Too sparkly, I look for more of a sheer shimmer when it comes to highlighters
OVERALL RATING
This product is just too sparkly for my liking. Although I sometimes use it as a brow bone highlight, I would never use it on my cheeks. Waaaay too much sparkle. 4 out of 10

PROS
- Really pretty color; it's a warm, soft orangey-brown with a touch of shimmer
