Rare Beauty Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation Swatches

This formula is designed to be a long lasting foundation with the weightless feel of a serum in a buildable medium coverage.

Rare Beauty Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara Mini Review

I am planning a full post on the mascara (stay tuned) because I have tried this a couple of times and it gives the lashes such a pretty, fluttery look. It is designed to lift, length, volumise and curl.

I can’t wait to share before and after photos with you.

Rare Beauty Always An Optimist Pore Diffusing Primer

I haven’t tried this yet, but it has a nice texture. I usually don’t really like the formula of blurring primers because they can feel heavy on the skin.

This seems light, so I will give it a try and report back if I like it.

Rare Beauty Always an Optimist 4 in 1 Mist

Now I have given this a try and my first impressions are really good. It has a really nice ingredients list with Niacinamide, Sodium Hyaluronate and Panthenol.

It gives the skin a lovely dewy look, and feels nice and hydrating. I will try it some more and let you know.
