Now this one was my first “big” purchase from TikTok. I’m sure you may have seen hundreds of beauty reviewers trying out this “green cream” and raving about how great of a job it does color correcting. So did I! So, what did I do? I darted over to Sephora and bought the stuff! For $50, no less.

Now this cream is a green to beige color correcting cream that is to correct blemishes and red spots on your skin and protect it from the environment. I will say, this product definitely does do that! However, I didn’t like the consistency or the way it felt on my skin for me to use this on a daily basis. The way it sat on my skin was like I was wearing an oily sun screen all day and while it definitely took the redness out of my skin, it couldn’t be used in place of foundation or the rest of my regular make-up. The smell of the product was also something I wasn’t a fan of, it has a distinct lemongrass smell that lasts all day. I’m not a fan of wearing scented product on my face – especially as a moisturizer. Because of the consistency of the product and the oiliness, it also caused me to break out, which doesn’t happen often for me with products and I don’t have sensitive skin.

So for me, this product was a miss. I would recommend this product to someone who has dry, blotchy skin and someone who doesn’t typically wear foundation or make-up, but wants to color correct.

This was a simple purchase for me, as a long time user of L’Oreal’s liquid version of this foundation. I saw tons of reviews on TikTok about this powder foundation and figured I might as well give it a try. They’re about $15 so I bought 2 different shades, one to use when I’m a bit tanner and one to use on regular days.

I used to use powder foundations as a staple years ago, but switched to liquid, just because I really like the coverage of a liquid foundation and the way it feels and lays on my skin a lot better. But, I do keep a powder foundation laying around to grab on days where I want to just do a quick natural look. This foundation works great for that!

The coverage is a medium coverage, and it comes with an application sponge in the compact which I usually use to apply the product, but you can also use a brush. The powder goes on very smooth and sits on my skin well. I will say, that if you are someone who has dry skin – this wouldn’t be the product for you since it has a matte finish and may cause some creasing or patchiness. I have combination skin, so I mainly use this when I’m doing a lot of virtual meetings, not when I plan to be doing a lot of in-person communication.

Overall, I feel like L’Oreal really makes some great foundations both powder and liquid, so I would recommend this product and would definitely buy it again.

I will just start by saying this is my all-time favorite TikTok purchase so far! I am someone who hates cleaning my make-up brushes, and so I am always trying to find the absolute easiest way to do it. This stuff is freaking magic.

So, unlike the other two purchases above, I didn’t actually see 100 videos of the same product review to make me buy it, instead I saw this one girl use this stuff one time and I decided that I HAD to try it.

The kit I bought was a travel kit (small enough for me to just give it a try) and it came with the make-up brush cleaner and tin. I found it on Amazon, but I’m sure you can find it other places. The travel kit was $10. Once I got the product, I’m not going to lie, I was super skeptical because it’s kind of oily and has a similar consistency to nail polish remover. It also doesn’t have the best smell. It quickly made me change my mind!

All you need is to pour a little bit into the tin and twirl your brush around in the formula for a few seconds. Wipe the brush onto a towel to get the makeup and the cleaner out of the bristles and you’ll literally be amazed – the brushes looked brand new AND they were practically dry! In about 5 minutes all of my brushes were clean. I highly recommend this product.

More to come!
