Hey girls! Today I will yet be doing another one of my mini-reviews series. The mini-reviews series focuses on products that I sent a sample jar or a very tiny amount of. Since you don’t get to see packaging or anything, I will not devote an entire review to these products. Today we have 4 products from Face Atelier cosmetics. One is their Lip Putty, next is their Ultra sheer highlighter in peach, then is their T-gel, and finally is their loose eye shadow in 6 which is a dark brown color with olive green duo chrome as you move.
My review (by product):
-Ultra sheer highlighter in peach: This isn’t too sheer and its color is quite buildable. I actually don’t have anything bad to say about it. It’s nice a dewy for the summer. I use it on my cheek bones and my cupids bow. The peach shade is in the picture and the one below it is the highlighter but blended out.
-Loose shadow in 6: This shade is really pretty since it has a duo chrome, but it would look off in the crease as this tends off to give two shades so if you have a light beige shade on your lid and you want to do a neutral look, don’t use this in the crease since it will look olive green in the light. It has a lot of fallout so I think this is best for the night as it would look nice in pics. Also, its best used wet.
-Lip putty: This lip putty is meant for being like a lip primer. It has the consistency of a lip balm, but clear, thick, and matte. It filled in the cracks in my lips before I applied my lipsticks and I’ve got to say that the lipstick glided on really easily. It doesn’t have an odor either.
-T-gel: This gel is not too thin or thick in consistency. It’s meant for your T-zone and it definitely mattifes that area and reduced the size of my pores. Although, people allergic to silicone might not like this product.
Rating (by product):
-Ultra sheer highlighter: 10/10 :)
-Loose shadow: 8/10
-Lip putty: 10/10 :)
-T-gel: 8/10
Would I recommend any of these? : Yup, definitely go and get the lip putty and
highlighter.

Review: Benefit Beauty To Go Bestseller Set
Hey girls! I’m reviewing the Benefit Beauty To Go Bestsellers Set that I purchased from Sephora.com. They were having a sale and I got this kit from $10. It was exclusive for the New Year celebration. It comes with a mini version of their all time bestselling Foundation Faker, Posietint, Thatgal Brightening Face Primer, and High beam highlighter. It’s not available anymore, but you can always find it on eBay. Keep reading for more information!
Pros:
-Nice mini traveled size products.
-The foundation faker gives medium coverage and is universal.
-The posie tint cheek stain lasts really long. After that swatch, it still hasn’t come after the swatch.
-The highlighter works perfectly and blends really well. It reflects light off and it makes my nose higher as well as my cheek bones.
-The primer smoothes my face and smells like strawberries.
Con(s):
-The foundation faker doesn’t provide much coverage.
Overall review: I really like the entire set an even if it’s not still available; you can still purchase the items separately. I love all the products but my only complaint is that the foundation faker doesn’t give enough coverage. Personally I don’t need much coverage but my sister does and this didn’t work for her.
Rating: 10/10
Is it VICKY approved? : Definitely!
