Are you wondering which of this year’s new beauty releases are worth it and which ones are worthless? I’m here to help you figure out which of these beauty products are dazzlers and which are duds. You can see swatches and more info in the video below the post.
WORTH IT: URBAN DECAY COSMETICS Naked Wild West Eyeshadow Palette
With this limited-edition 12-shade color palette you can get wearable neutrals and colors that stand out all year round. You’ll find yourself reaching for this more than you expect!
WORTHLESS: E.L.F. COSMETICS Flawless Brightening Concealer
Although this concealer brightens and hydrates your skin, it does not do much concealing if you have dark circles. With such minimal coverage, it works better as a brightener.
WORTH IT: CHANTECAILLE Cheek Shade– Grace & Joy
These blendable cheek shades wear beautifully. Not only is this luxury product a worthy buy, but you will also be supporting a foundation that corresponds to the animal of the shade you choose.
WORTHLESS: No7 Radiance+ Vitamin C Daily Brightening Moisturizer
Unfortunately, this didn’t do much to adequately hydrate my combination skin. So if you have normal to dry skin, I’d look elsewhere.
WORTH IT: CHANTECAILLE Lip Veil – Moabi and Honeypot
These tinted lip balms give your lips a lightweight and hydrated feel, which is perfect for those who don’t like a thick consistency yet want a hint of tint.
WORTH IT: WET N WILD Color Icon Shadow Palette 5-Pan (Walking on Eggshells) and 10-Pan (Nude Awakening)
I don’t necessarily think Wet N Wild needed to reformulate their palettes again. So if you have these already, you definitely don’t need to purchase the new versions. But if you haven’t tried these and are looking for blendable, budget-friendly eyeshadow palettes, these are a great choice.
WORTH IT: Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick (Chouchette)
If you like creams or stick formulas, you will not be disappointed with this blush stick that gives a naturally beautiful finish. This color in particular (shown in the video below) is gorgeous!
WORTH IT: NARS Soft Matte Tinted Lip Balm (various shades)
This limited-edition tinted lip balm is different from others on the market with its matte, sheer finish. I was doubtful that it could be hydrating and matte at the same time, but it feels wonderful on the lips! This balm contains hydrating ingredients that keep your lips looking fresh while giving them a blurred appearance. Don’t miss out on these!
WORTHLESS: NYX Professional Makeup Marshmellow Primer
This is the perfect example of a viral makeup product not working out for everyone. For me, this 10-in-1 smoothing primer promised a lot but fell quite short of its promises. However, it does have a nice scent with the marshmallow root extract.
WORTH IT: Saie Glowy Super Gel Lightweight Dewy Highlighter
A tiny amount of this soft liquid highlighter blends in beautifully with your skin and gives a dewy natural finish. It also dries down and doesn’t leave you feeling sticky.
WORTHLESS: Saie Dew Balm Bouncy Marshmallow Highlighter
We have another marshmallow product that fell short. It’s far too thick and pasty to be bouncy. In order to blend it into the skin, I had to blend it in quite vigorously. If I blended it in over foundation, the foundation was wiped away in the process. I also didn’t see much glow when I was finished. I definitely prefer the aforementioned Saie highlighter to this one!
Do any of these products sound good to you? What have you found lately that you either loved or hated?
