Hello guys! I’ve fell into a depressive rut during the first part of 2025 and because of that, I didn’t wear much makeup and I also was too tired to document all my pans. Now that I have more energy, I’m doing it now!
Products panned:
Colourpop “She’s a Natural” quad eyeshadow: shades ‘Only One’ and ‘Babe’ – 8/10. Good everyday eye shadow for me. The lightest shade was used as a base colour hence the full pan! I stopped using this quad a few months ago due to feeling a bit bored but i’ll hopefully try to pan the other shades in the future. 🙂 I think this quad is discontinued tho so WNRP.
Romand Better Than Palette “03 Rosebud Garden”: shades ‘Skin Bud’ and ‘Bud Beige’ – 6/10. Cute simple colour story for natural but cutesy days. A LOT of fall out though and you really gotta layer the colours if you want a bold look. At least it gives a more diffused natural gradient when blending in colours though. People with deeper skintones could maybe make this palette work but even as a light-tan girl myself, I had to dip my brush in the lightest shade a couple times to get a good base. WNRP
Pixi Glow Tint Colour Correcting Cushion in “PeachTint” – 6/10. My very first cushion product! Used it as light colour correction for my under eyes. I dont remember much tbh haha it doesnt give the most coverage but it feels very light under the eyes. Probably better for days where all you want is some light correction topped with a bit of concealer under the eyes. I have HEAVY dark circles so while it was fun to use and I see people liking it, I’m not the demographic for it. WNRP
So.Natural Setting Spray – 10/10. I’ve only ever used this spray and the charlotte tilbury one. I prefer this one better because it costs less and the spray is aerosol. It also doesn’t feel tight on my face like the charlotte tilbury one does for me. Probably my holy grail setting spray for now. Already am using a new bottle rn so i have and WRP!
Heroine Make Long and Curl Advanced Film Mascara – 10/10. Holy mother of tube, does this mascara TUBEEEEE. I’ve always had problems with my mascara flaking but this one literally said “hold my purse babe, i gotchu.” This mascara is like your clingy long-haired cat who won’t leave your lap. It won’t budge unless you start using a spray bottle on it. But even then, a spray bottle doesn’t do ANYTHING when trying to take this bad boy off. I had to buy a mascara remover from the same brand to make sure my eyelashes were squeaky clean from slaying all day. Don’t buy this mascara if you are too lazy to clean your lashes. I use a non-tubing mascara on days where i KNOW i’m not gonna have fun washing my face. WRP.
Clio Killlash Volume Curling – 9/10. See heroine make mascara review above. Skinnier brush so better precision. But also more liquidy so you kinda wanna scrap some of the formula just to get an even application. Tubes nice but i prefer more volume. Using up another right now but after that I want to try other mascaras so WNRP for now.
Caliray Tubing Mascara – ?/10. ……….I’ll be honest…… I don’t remember this one at all. Nothing stands out good or bad 😬. I guess its just… okay? Maybe?
Tower 28 Concealer in shade LBC – 10/10. Holy grail concealer. I have bad eczema around my eyes and tower 28 in general makes a lot of products catered to that skin issue so this concealer is EVERYTHING to me. I’m already on my second tube of it and ugh I love how light weight and buildable it can be. It pairs well with my current colour corrector from Bobbi Brown and it doesn’t accentuate my dry spots as much as other concealers do. Overall just a very comfortable concealer for me and the shade matches me to the T. WRP.
Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV – 8/10. My favourite sunscreen because it doesn’t sting my eyes like most sunscreens do!!! Even when i slather it on like a madman, I feel great! There is a bit of a whitecast but I’ll take that over red stingy eyes any day. It doubles as a primer so I’m wearing makeup overtop anyways so I’m not too worried. On my 2nd bottle. WRP.
Haus Labs Lip Oil in shade Tint – 8/10. A TRUE lip oil and isnt just using that term as a marketing trick. Gives the lips a nice nourishing slick and a nice tint. I wore this even without makeup. I probably wont repurchase though because I’m trying to pan so many other lippies and I’ve personally grown to like lip balms more. WNRP
Torriden Lip Essence – 8/10. If you want a boring lip balm that gets the job done, its this one here! As a chronically chapped lipped girl, boring lip balms that actually work have a place in my heart. Because it’s what’s on the inside that counts❤️ It’s only 8/10 because this is one of those products that I panned months ago so I don’t remember the exact details of my experience with it but I do know that it made my lips felt so much softer when I used it. Going through other lip balms so WNRP for now.
Espoir Pro Tailor Be Velvet Cover Cushion Foundation in shade ‘23 Beige’ – 8/10. I bought this before their shade extension and this shade is a tad light on me but I make it work with contour and bronzer. Gives a nice matted look that doesn’t hinder my dry skin. Feels lightweight on the face, doesn’t feel like I’m wearing makeup, probably because it’s not high coverage but it isnt light either. It can look a bit cakey around the eyes weirdly enough so I just use whatever is on my puff to lightly apply there just so the rest of my face still is in tune with my eyes. I’m currently using the refill but after thats done, WNRP just because I want to experience other cushions. Probably my favourite cushion I’ve used so far though.
Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip in shade “Hibiscus”….. I think. – 2/10. The sticker fell off so I don’t know what shade it is! Gosh I really don’t like these clicky pens. The shade is nice but goodness its not worth it for a goopy application that can easily smear all over your lips if you’re not careful. On top of that, I find the formula to smell weird and it almost feels suffocating on the lips. Just too thick for my personal taste when it comes to lippies. Used it up regardless because it took me a while to realize how much I don’t like this product and I was very close to finishing it. WNRP never ever ever.
Tirtir red cushion in 23N Sand – 6/10. Listen. It’s a good cushion. I get it the hype. But once again, I’m not the demographic. Very high coverage for a cushion foundation and the shade range is AMAZING! I can see why people love it! I’m not someone who needs super high coverage on my face and the cushion suits more normal-oily skin types. It also has a bit of niacinimide in it which for some reason my skin hates, so on irritating days I had to opt out of wearing this cushion. Used it up because cushions don’t have too much product hence they’re easy to pan! WNRP.
Too faced Hangover face primer – 7/10. It’s a nice hydrating primer. Doesn’t pill my makeup or anything. Very lightweight. But like………… do I need it? I could probably just use moisturizer and then my canmake sunscreen tbh. Idk it’s fine by itself but if I already have stuff laying around that does a similar job then I probably WNRP.
Olehenriksen Lip Treatment in sparkly Strawberry Sorbet – 10/10. UGHHHHH the best lip balm I’ve ever used. People talk about this one a lot so I won’t go into it too much but my lips feel so plush and soft after every use. Only lip balm that I’ve bought MULTIPLE shades of. WRP.
Rare Beauty Kind Words lip liner in “Fun” – 6/10. Fun? More like “meh it’s alright I guess”. Very creamy formula which glides easier on the lips but it smudges quite easily. These were very nice to use when I was a beginner in lip liners because if I made an error, it was easy to correct but now I’m more skilled, I prefer a stiffer wooden pencil because they give a more defined look and they overall have a stronger lasting power (my preferred lip liners are the makeup forever ones!). I have two more shades I want to get through but other than that, WNRP.
Heroine Make Prime Liquid Eyeliner Super Waterproof – 10/10. Yeah so like… these don’t budge LOL. The brush is on the thin side too so its great for a more smaller but sharper winged look. I’ve tried many liquid eyeliners and this one + the clio one are my absolute favourites. WRP.
