Today, I’m trying out a mix of new products and not-so-new ones to see how they really hold up. I’m testing the KKW Beauty Bake and Brighten Set, the Huda Beauty New Nude Palette (along with their Matte & Metal Liquid Eyeshadows), the Khloe & Malika BFF Collection by Becca Cosmetics, and the Milani Conceal + Perfect Foundation.
Join me for my first impressions and, of course, my honest opinions. Some of these are total hits (spoiler alert: I’m obsessed with a few), but others… well, let’s just say they didn’t quite make the cut. Watch to find out which products are here to stay and which ones might end up in the ‘return’ pile. 😅
KKW Beauty is has taken a break per Kims announcement on the website, so sadly this bake and brighten set is no longer available, but a good dupe would be the
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer – $30
- I would use a shade two shades lighter than your skin tone, for me that is shade Vanilla
Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder – $46
- I really like this setting powder, and use it all the time. I do think they should have more inclusive shades as translucent will still show up on a dark skin tone I would assume.
Huda Beauty The New Nude Eyeshadow Palette $65
- I own so many Huda Beauty pallets at this point because they just never disappoint! the blend out is beautiful, and the colors are versatile and usable for so many looks.
- These are my favorite brushes ever!
Huda Beauty Matte & Metal Melted Melted Double ended Liquid EyeShadows $25
- I would not try to blend these out with shadow, but to put it just on top of whatever you’ve already blended, as a top coat and not to use more than one coat, do not layer.
- I still think you can get a better liquid eyeshadow with the Stilla Liquid Eyeshadows they are my favorite and around the same cost at $24
- Multiple wears, 6 different styles to suite your eye type. They say no trim, but I will always trim my lashes
Tarte Tartiest Lash Paint Mascara $23
- I always use falsies or I have lash extensions so I look for no clump and no residue leaving mascara. This one was good!
Smashbox Be Legendary Mauve Matte Lipstick $19.90
- Smashbox came out with this line a few years ago and has since revamped, but you can still find the exact Lipstick through the link above on Amazon. The lipstick and gloss that are almost dupes of these would be these two links below
Smashbox Be Legendary Cream Lipstick $21
- Shade Primrose
Smashbox Gloss Angeles Lipgloss
- Shade Hustle and Glow
Becca x Khloe & Malika Face Palette – $79.99
- This is available still on Amazon, but since they announced that Becca Cosmetics is no longer in business, a dupe of this face palette would be the below
Charlotte Tilbury Super Nudes Nudegasm Bronze, Sculpt & Glow Face Palette – $75
