My thoughts:
I bought this concealer because I was out and I felt like trying something new and inexpensive.
So…
The coverage is good. I mean, it didn’t completely cover my dark under eye circles (most concealers don’t anyways, not even those expensive, high-end department store products) but it did minimize their appearance and I couldn’t be happier.
Even though this concealer is somewhat thick, it goes on very smooth and I had no trouble blending it. I didn’t experience any creasing and it didn’t settle into fine lines. And best of all, it’s cheap and super long lasting.
The only problem with this concealer is that there aren’t that many shades to choose from. I bought this concealer in medium beige and the color is okay but it would’ve been perfect if they had a shade in between light beige and medium beige. Also, just be careful when you apply more than one layer of this stuff, because if you layer it too many times it can start looking cakey. But if you’re only trying to cover a few flaws then this stuff works wonders.
Overall, for what it costs, this concealer works well.
Jergens All-Purpose Face Cream($4.99, 15oz) Deep cleans your skin to remove makeup and dirt and provides a radiant, dewy base for makeup. Also softens and moisturizes to help smooth skin and fight dryness.
Directions for Use: Smooth generously over your face and throat. Remove with a tissue or leave on overnight.
In a nuttshell: I bought this face cream a few days ago. I usually use POND’S Cold Cream but this last time when I went to Wal-mart, they were all out and I didn’t feel like going to any other stores. So I just picked up a jar of Jergens All-Purpose Face Cream.
I had already used Jergens Face Cream but it was a VERY long time ago. I didn’t even remember if I had liked it or not. Anyways, I bought a large jar of this face cream. And….I’m in love!!!
You get a lot more product for less money than you do with POND’s. So it’s economical and it makes removing make up EASY. I don’t even have to tug on the delicate skin around my eyes to remove eye make up or mascara.
This face cream is pink and VERY creamy. It makes my skin feel smooth and look dewy, NOT greasy! The fragrance isn’t all that bad either, it’s tolerable.
The only bad thing about this face cream is that it’s not available in every store, it’s hard to find. So, when I can’t find Jergens Face Cream, I’ll most likely pick up a jar of POND’s instead (I really like both of these face creams).
Overall, Jergens Face Cream works well as a make up remover and a moisturizer.

My thoughts:
This blush is okay, nothing spectacular about it. It’s just another sheer, mineral blush. I have it in Roseberry and it’s the perfect rosy shade. It does give my face a nice, natural looking flush.
However, I hate that it’s NOT long lasting and it doesn’t blend easily. And the few times that I used this blush, I had to reapply half way through the day.
This blush isn’t cheap, it’s not great and I know for a fact that you can pay a lot less and get a BETTER blush. Anyways, I won’t be buying this blush again. And nope, I don’t recommend it!
