Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-aging Perfector
/Perfection or hype?
I picked this up on a whim at CVS, hearing some good about it. Alas, I think this is more suited for those who already have really good skin and don't need much coverage because it's pretty sheer. I make it work right now by using a lot of concealer where I need to color correct and even things out, but I wish it were just a little more packing in the pigments department.
On the upside, it has retinol and sunscreen in it to help treat the skin so it is doing some good. I think if you're someone who doesn't have uneven skin tone and not a lot of blemishes, this will be a good everyday base for you.
If you do have a uneven skin tone, texture, and blemishes, this will probably not fit the bill and at best could maybe work under another foundation. But, for $13.99 a pop, I can't say I'd opt to buy it again and would probably just get their retinol serum to wear under makeup instead.

As someone with dark brunette hair, finding the perfect eyebrow pencil can be Sisyphean to say the least. So many pencils, even listed as dark brown, lean reddish brown and end up looking a bit rubbish on my brows. I've had luck with Tarte Emphas-Eyes and Anastasia Brow Whiz pencils, but they aren't cheap at $19 and $18 respectively.
And then L'Oreal said, "hey, let's dupe that!" Probably.
