So we need to talk about ColourPop’s complexion products. I had pretty high expectations for them, as ColourPop has rightfully earned that reputation. I purchased the No Filter Concealer in Dark (48), two of the foundations, and two setting powders in the shades Banana and Deep Dark. When you spent $40, ColourPop threw in a free foundation brush.

I mostly ignored Drunk Elephant’s Anti Pollution Sunshine Serum when it first came out because I didn’t think it was for me. Then I got to thinking: it’s bronze; I’m basically bronze. It’s only going to complement my skin, right? Right I was. Also, I have been on the search for a tinted moisturizer for my skin tone for forever…

The Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Concealer was love at first swatch for me. I added this to my wishlist and vowed that it would be mine! Fast forward to the Sephora sale, and I picked this up along with the always-sold-out Selfie Kit. I opted for the darkest shade, 6W, as I wanted to mainly use this on my hyperpigmentation…

Move over Ben Nye, Essence has a Banana Powder is in town and it has been rocking my world! Now this powder is not for those that love to cake and bake up their face; it’s a pretty lightweight powder with a tinge of yellow that sets and mattifies.

So the Julep Complexion Cushion 5-in-1 Skin Perfector ($30.00) was a surprise. I didn’t even know Julep made complexion products until I came across this one. As someone that usually wears high coverage foundation – be that medium- or full-coverage – I had pretty low expectations and was pleasantly surprised that it performed as nicely as it did. I went with…
