Review: Kryolan High Gloss Brilliant Lip Shine

I had the opportunity to try a product, actually a lip gloss.  Now I have tons of lip glosses, like any of you makeup freaks out there would have laying all over in your makeup collection, however when I saw this lip gloss I was only too happy to try it out and give my honest review on it.  It's the KRYOLAN High Gloss Brilliant Lip Shine.  On Kryolan's web page they state that these are a newly developed lip gloss with special pearl Mica based pigments providing the lips with extraordinary radiance.  And I must admit that is exactly what it did for my lips.
And for those of you not too familiar with KRYOLAN, they are a cruelty-free professional makeup brand with over 66 years of experience that serves to beautify the theater, film and television community and their products can be purchased online.

THE PACKAGING

The packaging looks expensive when you take it out of the box.  A glass finish to the tube with a silver top which serves as the wand itself as with all other lip glosses. It has their signature logo on the top of the cap, which is a mask, kinda cute.  On the tube itself it has the name of the brand and the logo printed on it.

THE PRODUCT

I was so excited to get to this part of the review!!! I love how the gloss is creamy rather than sticky and it stays on for hours.  I could tell you I ate breakfast (cereal), drank orange juice and ate a muffin and I still had the color on my lips - W-O-W!!!!  The color I tried was Catwalk which is a bloody, intense red, with shine to it. It's very opaque so one application serves as enough.  I love the fact that the color stays true to the shade in the tube - how often do you get that right?

APPLYING

Applied on its own

What I even love more about this product was the fact that it comes with a tiny brush applicator which is way more better than the regular doe foot wands that mostly, if not all other lip glosses comes with.  This helps give a precision application and holds a lot of product.  This can be worn alone and you would be attracting attention to your lips immediately.  I wore mine with a red lipstick and boy oh boy did I get attention to my lips all day!!!!


OVERALL EXPERIENCE

I would say that I was absolutely wowed with this lip gloss.  Unlike other lip glosses, this lasted a really long time and the color is very bold and intense to actually be called just a lip gloss.  When I wore it alone, I attracted attention and when I wore it over one of my favorite red lipsticks I caused even more of a stir to my lips.  I love this and I would recommend it to anyone into lip glosses. There are a total of 16 vivid shades available, I am feeling to get them all!!! Ok I know I am a bit over zealous.....I give this product

Review: Wet n Wild Mega Glo Illuminating Powder in Starlight Bronze

I must admit I purchased this mainly because of how it looked.  I am a sucker for bronzy looking makeup.  I just love when a product looks as though it would give your face or body an instant glow.  So I purchased the Wet n Wild Mega Glo Illuminating Powder in Starlight Bronze.

THE PACKAGING

The bronzer comes in a twist off lid pan.  It's silver and the cover is transparent with the brand name written on it. It's easy to carry around  in your makeup bag. The back of the bronzer has the shade and the ingredients.

THE PRODUCT

This is a powder based bronzer which is great for oily/combination skin types. There are 4 different bronzy colors in the pan which can be used individually or together.  If you want to use it together you got to do the "swirl effect" - the Swirl Effect is taking your brush and swirling it lightly on the whole product. The pigmentation is great and it can be used as an eyeshadow too!!! It doesn't have over the top shimmer. The shimmer specs are really fine which makes it really beautiful on your skin and it can be worn both during the day and night.

THE APPLICATION

You can use your favorite bronzing brush or a big fluffy brush and bronze your face or body. You can use one color or all 4 colors at one time.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE

I love this bronzer, it's really on point for my skin.  I get this glowy look and everyone compliments me about my skin when I wear it. After a few hours it does fade away, however it doesn't  make my skin spotty or ugly looking.  And because it is so easy to carry around in my makeup bag, I just touch up and go. Some days I even use it as an eyeshadow for when I want that natural but glowy look to my eyes.
I give this product

Review: Too Faced Primed & Poreless

Too Faced came out with a primer called Primed & Poreless which is a skin smoothing face primer. They call it "one of a kind makeup primer was scientifically formulated to wear under bronzers and foundation powders or alone to achieve the look of flawless skin without makeup" 
I purchased this primer from Makeup Attitude on FB and I bought this without a clue of what to expect from it, I did no research on it or anything and I must say that this product surprised me...PLEASANTLY!!!

THE PACKAGING

I have never actually owned any products from Too Faced prior to this but the packaging for the product is ideal.  I bought the sample size tube.  It comes in a light pink squeeze tube.  The Too Faced logo and product name is at the front of the tube with brief directions on how to apply.  The sample tube has a needle nose dispenser which I believe would differ from the full sized package.

THE PRODUCT

The texture is very creamy and has a slightly yellow gold tone. And a little goes a long way as I only needed a pea sized amount to coat my entire face.  Now I swear what I saw after I rubbed the product in AMAZED me!!! About 50% of my pores were gone, my face was looking so smooth, I double checked in the mirror to verify what happened in the space of time between before and after applying the product.  But it became even more smooth when I applied my foundation over it, my face looked like porcelain.  The product feels so light on your skin and it does not clog pores and my face looks less oily during the day.

THE APPLICATION

Just use a pea sized amount and rub it into, all over your face for smooth flawless finish.

MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE

I enjoyed using this product and it makes me feel to go out and purchase the full size of this product. The creamy texture is very pleasant to work with and it does a good job of masking pores and fine lines.  The packaging for dispensing of the product is perfect. I absolutely recommend this and I must say this is my money well spent. I give this

Review - Big Sexy Hair Spray&Play Hairspray

I got this hairspray in my January Ipsy Bag, and when I saw it I was like "Damn, something I don't think I'm gonna use" and let me tell you - I WAS SOO WRONG!!!!! For the month of April, I have used this more than ever, so much that it's DONE, KAPUT...I mean it was a travel size 50ml bottle.

Now I had no idea that Big Sexy Hair's Spray&Play Hairspray is the brand's most famous product, until I used it. I never even heard about this brand until I got it in my Ipsy bag, because I was never into hairsprays, like ever, but Big Sexy Hair has convinced me that I NEED hairspray, not just any hairspray, but theirs lol. So the following is my review on this hairspray.

THE PACKAGING

The packaging is great.  It comes in a metallic red metal can, with a black plastic cap.  The Big Sexy Hair logo is written down the side of the can in black and silver and the product name is at the front. Taking off the cap reveals the spray mechanism to which I must say distributes the product evenly.

THE PRODUCT

The smell of this hairspray isn't overpowering which I lovvvee.  It sprays out evenly when I use it.  It mists all over, wherever you want it to go, it doesn't stray, so to speak.

THE APPLICATION


Just spray it over your styled hair and walla!!! It lasts very long.

MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE

Now my hair is naturally very curly, lately I have been pressing my hair out, which makes it straight and trust me, Big Sexy's Spray&Play makes my hair last for DAYS, did you just read that - for DAYS.  Even though my hair lasts for days, it still stays soft, but the hold is for long and it gives my hair volume, my hair looks 10 times thicker than it really is, total OMG moment. It isn't affected by heat, humidity, grease or sweat and it washes out easily. It keeps my hair in place without making it heavy or rock hard. I totally recommend this hairspray for at home and even the hair salons.  I give this

Review: ELF Studio Makeup Mist & Set

I have always wondered "How can I keep my makeup flawless for an entire day of 8-9 hours", then I came across e.l.f.'s Studio Makeup Mist & Set spray. Now the idea of spraying something wet on your face to hold makeup, I was very confused about.  I was thinking "Oh no, firstly my makeup is on properly, spraying something wet on my face won't it make my makeup run off?"  I decided to visit YouTube and see some reviews and tutorials on how to use it and how it actually works. I got a host of mixed reactions towards it, which made me, of course, go out and get me one.

THE PACKAGING

We all are aware of how all e.l.f.'s Studio Line Products come - in a black finish boxing or encasing. The liquid comes in a black translucent, recyclable bottle.  The e.l.f Logo and the name of the product is written in white on the bottle.  There is also a short breakdown of the products used in the spritz - Aloe, Green Tea, Cucumber and Vitamins A, C & E. The spritzer...well let me just say it isn't right for what the product is supposed to do, I will elaborate further in the description of the product. But e.l.f should look at redesigning that part of it.  The spritzer has a see through cover on it.

THE PRODUCT

As printed on the bottle, it contains Aloe, Green Tea, Cucumber and Vitamins A, C & E, which is a plus.  Now my peeve is actually with the spritzer which is more suited for a body spray.  This does not MIST, but it actually SQUIRTS the product on you.  A mist is supposed to come out fine and delicate so that when you spray it, it goes all over the face. My first spritz of the product caught me by surprise the amount of liquid squirted out on my face, making it actually go to only one part more than the other. But the product feels like water.  No scent really, which is a plus for me personally.

THE APPLICATION

Just spray the product all over your face.

MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE

Honestly I don't like this product.  It does absolutely nothing for me positively, except make my face feel cool on an extremely hot day.  I have tried several application methods and I get the same results - NOTHING!!  I have tried spraying it straight on, I tried slight spritzes, I tried a sponge and no difference.  I see the droplets that have landed on my face, making my makeup look less than professional. I think e.l.f. definitely needs to go back to the drawing board and redesign the spritz and maybe that will make a HUGE difference.  I actually got some good from it though, I use it to foil my pigments and eyeshadows, which is working out a lot more for me.  Unless e.l.f. repackage this product, I don't think I will repurchase or recommend, but you can see how it works out for you as I have seen tons of great reviews on it, however it just wasn't working out for me.  I give this product

Review: Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Fifth Ave Fuchsia

The first time I got this was - welllll I really can't remember lol. But I don't think I bought it, I believe I was given this as a gift. And lately I am really appreciative that I got this lipstick, it is my go to everyday lip color, no matter where I go - work, club, grocery shopping, mall, you name it, I will be wearing it.

THE PACKAGING

I'm not too sure how I feel about the packaging but let me tell you - it's this pink kind of transparent hard plastic cover with Color Sensational written on a barcode sticker on it (not too fond of that) and the underneath of the lipstick has the name of it. When the pink casing is removed the lipstick is cased in a silver bullet-like tube.

THE PRODUCT

When I opened this the scent is what amazed me - it smelt like vanilla & coconut infused together. It's very creamy and moisturizing, which is absolutely a plus.  It has been stated that in the tube it looks spot on like MAC's Girl About Town. I don't own that MAC lippie so I can't say for sure if that is true in real, but from pics it really looks similar, however this reminds me of one of my favorite lippies of all time - Wet n Wild 511B Noveau Pink - a sort of blue-toned pink.  I just love the fact that this is very moisturizing on the lips, not drying it out at all.

THE APPLICATION

Applying it regular like any other lipstick. Just remember this lipstick is really moisturizing and creamy.

MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE

I am loving this lipstick, the color, the creaminess, the moisture.  I was never a pinky girl, but I think most of us say that until we get an amazing pink color on our lips and get tons of compliments.  This lipstick smells like coconut, however it fades. It lasted about 3 hours on my lips, so I would reapply during the day, but for the look this gives me I don't mind.

I give this product

Review: NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder (For those Movie Star Brows)

I am really obsessed with eyebrows, in my opinion once your brows are poppin' your face stands out, with and without makeup, yes without makeup.  Having well defined brows is the key to pulling off dramatic looks and it adds character and definition to the face.  Now I have used different brow shaping products, from eyebrow pencils to different eyebrow kits, but I am swearing hands down, that the NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder is the best!!!!! I am hooked and I don't think I ever want to try anything else. I mark this product as a MUST HAVE.

THE PACKAGING

It's a really neat, cute little palette that can fit in the palm of your hands and you can even drop it in your makeup bag (however I don't see the need to walk around with it and you'll see why later on).  It has a transparent cover on the top with the brand name and product name written on it. It has the wax on the left side and there are 2 similar colored shades of powder on the right.  I have ECP02 which is the Dark Brown/Brown shade.  It also comes with a really cute spoolie and a slanted brow brush. To be honest I don't use those 2 brushes as with any palette or product that comes with a brush.  I'm not saying that it won't work but I just don't use them.

THE PRODUCT

So there is the wax, which is white and sticky to the feel and then there is the powder - 2 slightly different color shades which seems as though you will never hit pan.  The wax finishes long before the powder.  You can even use the powder as a transition color on your eyes, I have done it already.

THE APPLICATION

TOP: Before filling brows

BELOW: After filling brows

Looking at the palette you may go "Hmm, I have no idea what to do" But it's easier than 1,2,3..  You dip your slanted brow brush in the wax, taking up a little as it's very sticky, then you dip it in either one or both of the powders and fill in your brows and that's it.  No rocket science to it, it's that easy. Don't let the palette intimidate you like it did to me.

MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE

So I want to be honest with you guys, and don't even laugh, but when I first bought this it sat in my makeup collection for about 2 months because I did not know how to use it. I asked a couple persons and I just could not comprehend their explanation, as I thought it sounded really weird - dip the brush in the white waxy substance then dip it in the powder and fill in my brows.  I was like "wax??" But one day I decided to use it and WOWEEE!!! I loved it, it's like Cupid shot me and that was the first thing I saw to fall in love with. I was a bit intimidated and I guess I was actually scared to try something new, I was actually using e.l.f. Studio Eyebrow Kit, which I thought was the B-O-M-B, but I have to admit this NYX product is one of their best inventions. As mentioned you don't need to walk around with this in your makeup bag, this has your brows lasting up to 12 hours, with unnoticeable fading. For a more softer look, you can just use the powder to fill in the brows.  The only negative about this product is the fact that the wax finishes before the powder, which makes alot of wastage. But I don't care,  I recommend this for everyone!!!!

I give this product

Review: e.l.f. Studio Complete Coverage Concealer in Dark

Ok so truth be told, I am not a "Concealer Girl" however I use it to give my eyebrows some edge.  I have never used a cream concealer and so I decided to try e.l.f.'s Studio Concealer.  e.l.f. states that these concealers are highly pigmented and professionally formulated and offer ultimate coverage to disguise a range of boo-boos and flaws including blemishes, dark circles, redness and uneven skin-tone for a flawless, makeup artist finish.
For someone who doesn't regularly use concealer, that statement would make you still want to try it out and as we all know, e.l.f. Cosmetics is one of the most affordable make up products on the market.  So of course I was convinced to try this.

THE PACKAGING

I don't even need to dwell on the packaging subject for too long when it comes to  e.l.f.'s Studio Line. Their Studio Line of products always looks sleek and strong in their black casing.  It came in a black box of course and when you open the casing there is a mirror the length of the package and you get a (useless) brush.


THE PRODUCT

I purchased the Dark shade and you get 4 different dark shades within this palette.  The product is very creamy and goes to powder form after it has been set.  I'm thinking I should have purchased the Medium shade as I know the 2 darkest shades within the package I will never use as it's too dark for my complexion. There are 2 other shades - Light and Medium.  I should have chosen Medium, I guess I underestimated my complexion.

APPLYING

Unblended (no flash)

Unblended (with flash)

I use this to sharpen my brows which it definitely does.  I use the lighter shade for under the brow and the medium dark shade for above the brow.  Lately because of lack of sleep, I started to see darkness appear under my eyes and I decided to try it there as well and WOW did it work!!! The lightest shade in the palette somewhat brightened under my eyes, but I'm sure if I purchased the Medium palette it would have been perfecto!! After I apply it with a concealer brush or my fingers it turns out very matte, which is a plus for persons with oily skin, so it's your choice to set it with a powder or not.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE

Useless Brush

I would say this was a great buy!!! My only issue I had with it is actually the silly, useless brush they gave in the palette, but I shouldn't really complain about that as ALL brushes that comes with makeup palettes are usually useless.  From what I notice it doesn't last longer than 7-8 hours but I don't see that being posed as a huge problem. It's cheap, so you don't have to worry about dipping too much into your purses to purchase.

I give this product

Nail Polish Review: Nailtini Nail Lacquer in Millionaire

I was happy when I opened my November Ipsy Glam Bag and saw this nail polish.  This was my first nail polish from Nailtini and I have never heard about it before, so I decided to understand them by checking out their website www.tinibeauty.com

Nailtini is the only line of nail lacquer developed to maximize the creativity of the user by "cocktailing: different shades of nail polish. This to me was a very innovative idea, made me see that the word "cocktail" does not always mean the drink. So of course I was more than happy to have acquired this nail polish and now I can boast of how it has worked for me.


THE PACKAGING

Nailtini Millionaire is a really glammed up glitter nail polish from their Limited Edition Speakeasy Lacquer Collection.  The packaging is really nice.  It came in a black box and it had the full description on it.  The bottle resembles a liquor bottle which represents the brand well, it also features a martini glass on the bottle along with the brand name. The bottle is tall and has a black tall cap and I love the brush - it's long, flat and flexible.


THE PRODUCT


On their site they describe Millionaire as a "teal & gold tinsels awash in rose-gold microglitter".  Personally when I saw it I was like "WOW!!!" It's not really the normal glitter, but it's like bar glitter. It reminds me of what you would throw up in the air in celebration of something - birthday, winning the lotto, lol. I guess that's why they call it "Millionaire"


APPLYING

I'm not too fond how this looks on its own, I prefer to layer it over nail polish, which by the way looked SUPERB!!! The effect is really beautiful and eye-catching.  Over nail polish you would probably have to layer it with 2 coats and trust me, it looks divine, however on it's own for the effect to be noticeable you would need to probably layer with 3-4 coats.  It doesn't get thick and gooey when layered which is a plus for me. However as with all glitter nail polishes, Millionaire is a bit of a pain to remove.


OVERALL EXPERIENCE

I am really glad I got the opportunity to experience this indie polish, thanks to Ipsy.  On Tini Beauty's website Millionaire goes for $13 USD which is alot for a brand of nail polish I never really heard of, but who knows they may become a high-end brand in the future and I already got one YAY ME!!!!
If you are into collecting unique nail lacquers then you should definitely check out www.tinibeauty.com
I have to say again Nailtini is a really innovative idea founded by Michelle Toma Olson and it may be the next big thing in nail polish - Cocktailing Nail Polish to suit your likeness.

Eye Primer Review: Benefit Stay Don't Stray Eye

If you have been watching my YouTube vids you would have seen me raving like hell about this eye primer.  The Makeup Cupid has absolutely struck me when it comes to this product.  Unfortunately I have only been able to get the sample size bottles, but I have been making pretty good use of them.  Trust me when I say this product lasts LOOOOONNNNNGGGGG, as a little goes a long way.

Benefit's Stay Don't Stray states that it is a "dual action power primer that works 360 degrees around the eyes to make concealers AND eyeshadows STAY PUT" which I endorse 100%.  This over eye primer comes in 2 neutral shades - Light/Medium & Medium/Deep.


THE PACKAGING

My sample packaging is like a little cutie pie, and it's only while I was doing this review, while examining the bottle to give my review on how the packaging is I saw that the word stay is transparently printed all over it, lol.  On the front of the bottle it's hard to believe that they actually got the phrase "Stay Don't Stray" written in black on it as this sample is really small. It has a little black cap on it as well which reveals the tiny doe foot applicator.


THE PRODUCT

Left Swatch - Unblended

Right Swatch - Blended

This primer has a light, neutral beige color.  It blends out so easily leaving an opaque yet colorless finish on some complexions, however on a woman of color like myself, it leaves a slightly whitish appearance. You get full coverage so if there are any blemishes or veins on your eyes, it vanishes when this primer is applied.  I have never used this as a concealer so I am unable to confirm if it gives as good coverage as it does on the eyelid.  The product has a thick viscosity therefore not much is needed to prime the eyes, as mentioned before a little goes a long way.  This keeps my eyeshadow in place like never before, it don't crease and it lasts me all day and I have alot of 12 hour days inclusive of working out at the gym and my eyeshadow be popping!!!! It gives my eyeshadow that boost of intensity I love and that is a + in my book.


THE APPLICATION

Left Swatch - No Primer

Right Swatch - Benefit Primer

According to Benefit, they suggest that you apply 6 dots of the product - 3 on the eyelid and 3 under the eye, however as I mentioned earlier, I have never used this for concealing and to be honest 3 dots on the eyelid is too much for me, the most I use is 2 dots and that covers all up to my brow bone.  I blend it in and it becomes colorless.  I then either apply my eyeshadow or sometimes I apply a base on top of the primer.  My eyeshadow goes on smoothly and it enhances the color by 100 times.


OVERALL:

I recommend this primer and even though there are many more affordable primers out there that may do the same, I personally trust in Benefit hence why I am a bit biased towards it.  I love this primer and I give it

Brush Review: e.l.f. Essential/Professional Total Face Brush

e.l.f. Cosmetics is one of the most affordable beauty product providers ever, in my opinion that is.  I have been using e.l.f. products for sometime now and I have little or no complaints with their products.  One of their products I have used, is their Total Face Brush from their Essential Line.  I use this to apply my face powder sometimes, and if you continue reading you will understand why I say "sometimes".
e.l.f. states that this brush has "soft caressing bristles that allows for soothing application for facial and bronzing powders" which I don't totally agree with.


THE PACKAGING

The brush came in a clear pouch with a plastic brush guard, which I threw out.  The cardboard insert gives the customer a comprehensive explanation about the brush and the company.  The brush is very large, with a wooden handle that's white and it has the brush name written on it.  It feels pretty sturdy and the ferrule seems to be well attached, which is a positive for e.l.f. as the Essential/Professional line is known for their poor quality and instability   The bristles are a reddish-brownish color and mine was dense.  However I have heard persons complain that it isn't as dense as it looks.  But again another thing e.l.f. is known for, is their inconsistent production of the products.  I will explain later down in my review. The shape is ok and standard for a powder brush.with a slight dome to the top.  The bristles are synthetic and as with all e.l.f. products they are vegan friendly and cruelty free.


THE PRODUCT

Now my personal opinion on this brush is that it scratches my face whenever I apply my face powder, it isn't close to the statement that e.l.f. made about it being "soft caressing bristles...." The quality for me is actually worth the cost $1 USD or as in our country it retails at $12 TTD.  It is irritating for me to use and I only use this when I don't have a choice (when I can't find my other face brushes on hand). And whenever I apply my powder alot of the bristles fall out on my face which I absolutely hate.


APPLICATION USE

This brush only can be used for lightly dusting on powder as it isn't stiff enough to apply colored product and please I advise you DO NOT use this to apply any liquid product, it will FAIL MISERABLY, trust me I tried (unfortunately).  This isn't a versatile product but as I mentioned before it's only worth $1 USD, which is extremely cheap. However I must admit that I have washed mine 3 times and it stood the wash test well and funny enough it didn't shed as much as it did on my face when I applied the powder - weird but true.  I actually only would recommend this if you can't afford a better brush.  I think the  problem lies with the fact that the bristles quality.  e.l.f. isn't consistent with the manufacturing of their products, one time it comes one way, then another time the same exact product comes another way.

I give this product

1/5

I will not repurchase, it does not bring any comfort to my face when I apply my powder and I hate a product that brings more pain than pleasure to me. So I suggest that you don't get this, unless you really want to experience it for yourself.

Review: Comparison e.l.f. Studio Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder & Cream Duo in St. Lucia - Swatches

e.l.f. Cosmetics keeps doing it BIG!! Now I have had the Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder in Blushed and Bronzed, and there is nothing better than having 1 product performing 2 functions.  I probably only used this about twice, I'm sure only because I got caught up in the hype of purchasing some other product, however I was drawn back to it recently when e.l.f. decided to introduce the Contouring Blush & Bronzing Cream in St Lucia, I immediately started re-using the powder (which by the way is renamed St Lucia as well), until the cream one arrived in my possession.  They both work great and the powder one is actually being called a dupe for NARS' Blush-Bronzer Duo, which of course is a high-end brand. The cream one goes on creamy and dries out to a powder form.  Check out the pics of the packaging and swatches of both products:

THE PACKAGING:

As with the Studio Line, the packaging is always sleek and of great quality.

THE PRODUCT:

POWDER

On the left is the Blush which has a peachy color with some shimmer to it, more like a highlighter with a hint of color.  On the right is the Bronzer which is a dark brown color with very slight shimmer to it but has a more matte finish.

CREAM

On the left is the Blush which has a pinky peachy color, looks really beautiful on the cheeks.  On the right is the Bronzer which has a skin tone color that looks really nice when applied. They both go on creamy and dries to a matte/powder finish, which lasts all day.  I actually think I am loving the cream more than the powder.

SWATCHES:

POWDER (with flash)

POWDER (in natural light, without flash)

CREAM (with flash)

CREAM (in natural light, without flash)

Can you see why I am loving the Cream one??  But I don't use this everyday, but when I do, it looks really beautiful. This is great for all skin types, the cream gives you extended wear and you can layer it for more intensity. The powder gives you this really nice glow to your face. You can honestly sculpt anywhere you wish to contour with the cream one.  If you want you can give it a try and see how it works for you.  I give this

POWDER - 3/5

CREAM - 4/5

You can purchase this locally in Trinidad and Tobago from online FB Beauty Store Halener Rustique

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Halener-Rustique/254990547873525?fref=ts for $25 TTD or from www.eyeslipsface.com for $3 USD.  Now there are other shades in the Powder Blush and Bronzer - St. Lucia, Turks and Caicos (burnt peach and dark brown) and Antigua (vibrant pink and dark brown), however in the Cream there is only St. Lucia thus far.
