SMASHBOX CAMERA READY BB CREAM REVIEW

I prefer Asian BB creams, my favorite is SKIN 79's Intense Classic, but I decided to try a western one even though they lean more towards a tinted moisturizer.

This one was not like the Asian BB creams, definitely more of a tinted moisturizer. It has very good SPF! SPF 35. It smells exactly like sunscreen so it reminds me of the beach! Anyway, even though it is not like Asian BB creams I did still like it because it stayed matte on my very oily face and covered my large pores  pretty well. It was also more pricey than Asian BB creams even though the tube is a bit small.

BEFORE

AFTER

I have acne scars and large pores so I need good coverage. This filled in my pores pretty well and did look natural but even the lightest shade was a bit dark on my pale skin and did not seem to oxidize very much. The coverage was not superb but not bad either. If you need a bit of coverage but not very much or want a bare skin look, I recommend this product. But if you have bad breakouts you would probably need concealer as well.



PROS:
Natural look
Controls oil
Good SPF
Covers pores

CONS:
NOT LONG WEARING!
Can slip off of face
Coverage
More like a tinted moisturizer

ANASTASIA TINTED BROW GEL REVIEW

      This is my review of Anastasia Tinted Brow Gel($22). I decided to buy this product because it had pretty good reviews and also because I heard Cara Delevigne uses it. :P

The shade I bought was Espresso. It is pretty dark and has a tiny bit of shimmer in it but is not very noticeable. However, if you do need one of the lighter shades the shine is much more dramatic. The brush to apply it with is like the end of a mascara wand. If you have sparse brows like mine it would be much better to use an eyebrow brush.

This is my bare eyebrow(omg what is that thing?!) as you can see my hair is very sparse even though they aren't even plucked! ):

BEFORE

This is my brow with the gel. I obviously like my eyebrows to be thick and dramatic so I usually fill it in with a MAC Eyeshadow which is also called Espresso but for the sake of this review I did not.

Pros:
Long-lasting
Coats each individual hair.
Is a nice pure brown shade
Sets eyeshadow in place,

Cons:
Price
Can be to thick
