Enriched with milk proteins (super absorbent, moisturizing and safe for all skin types) and aloe, these wipes get rid of the most stubborn waterproof makeup. Not only that, they also clean the face spotless (but gently!), without irritating or causing redness. Start with the eyes and gently wipe away all traces of makeup.

This foundation promises to stay put for 15 hours without turning into an oily mess or feeling super heavy on the skin – though after about 10, I started noticing some wear. But come on! 10 hours! I never make it through the day without a little touch up so this is a GREAT discovery. It goes on smoothly and dries almost instantly. The amount of coverage is great, and I even use it under my eyes instead of a concealer. The finish is on the matte side, so make sure you add a little shimmer for a bit of a summer glow. And did I mention that there’s a 15 SPF? WIN!

Here’s me (before & after) wearing shade #103 (Ivory)

Because of the formula is a little on the dry side, make sure you wear a good primer underneath it, especially if your skin is dry.

Clarins Everlasting Foundation is available at Clarins.com.

According to the MUFE folks, there are a few things that make this blush HD:

• “The unique and innovative “second skin” cream formula shows no texture to appear exceptionally natural.
• The extremely fine granulometry of the formula allows the product to be invisible to the high def camera and the naked eye.
• A combination of mattifying and reflecting powders create a soft focus effect on cheeks to blur imperfections.
• For the most natural feel on skin, the formula is elastic and supple, allowing it to go on smoothly.
• Thanks to special evaporating oils that disappear on skin but leave pigments behind, the formula is long- lasting and stays put all day.”

I don’t know about this as far as “HD” makeup goes, but all I can say is that this blush ROCKS! It goes on so smooth and blends so easily it looks like you were born blushing and never stopped. The color stays on even through a heat wave (and if you’re in NYC, you know I had a chance to test this out lately!) and is available in 14 shades.

Here’s a before and after of me using #5 Nip Slip

This tint hits all the points with me:

• It’s ultra lightweight, making it perfect for the summer heat;
• Unlike a full-fledged foundation, this tint goes on sheer, not covering anything up, but simply evening out little imperfections.
• Its formula is packed with light-diffusing multi-minerals that give the skin a little bit more glow and radiance that a regular tinted moisturizer.
• Each pack comes with 4 little tubes that are perfect for little getaways.

Here I am, before and after, wearing “Glow.”

This is a super quality product, and you can tell right away from the packaging. The sleekness here does not mean that the application will be awkward. On the contrary: this “fit in the palm of your hand or in your back pockets without bulges” shell is easy to carry and will discreetly occupy even the smallest of clutches. The formula of the gloss itself is enhanced with Vitamin E, water resistant, silky and non-sticky. It’s also free of paraben, sulfate, phthalate, and fragrances.

The colors evoke the creamy richness and cheerful colors of signature gelato flavors like mint, berry, lemon, and pistachio and are deliciously named (from top left to bottom right) Menta, Maraschino, Berry Confezione, Tutti Gelati, Limoncello, and Pistachio.

My favorite? Berry Confezione!

Borguese Tutti Gelati can be found at drugstores nationwide for $8.

Let me tell you, I’m glad I gave these a chance! The colors are gorgeous, and they blend like a dream! The pink compact also doubles as a highlighter, but these blushes are so silky and pigmented that I like using them on my eyes as well for a low-key wash of color. Plus how cute is that package? I love how the crown impression makes these affordable little compacts feel luxe.

For my introduction to L’Oreal’s High Intensity Pigment Shadow Duos, I tried #806 Gilded and #906 Platinum. Each shadow duo contains a gorgeous metallic shadow that’s expertly paired with a matte glitter-infused shadow. I have to tell you, as pretty as the shadows looked in the pot, I was doubtful that they would translate onto skin looking so vibrant. Well, let me tell you, they do!

#906 Platinum

#806 Gilded

In addition to being pretty and pigmented, these shadows apply silky smooth and last all day without creasing. Plus, the bottom of each pot is a secret flip-open compartment that houses a mini sponge applicator. I prefer my own eyeshadow brushes, but these are perfect for traveling or in a pinch.

Not fully green nor fully yellow, this color reminds me of oceans in tropical countries – that greenish color that cannot be found anywhere else. I think this color works better on short, rounded nails, which add a bit of a delicate touch to it. What do you think?
