everything here is interactive: we set the defaults, you can change them. think a product has a different finish than the one shown? change it! want to track where you keep things ( location) or thoughts about the best lip brush or lip primer for this lipstick, or if you apply it directly from the tube? write yourself a personal collection note, or tell the world in a review.
we’ve placed have / want / had icons everywhere you see a product, either on a picture, in a list (like on the brand or category pages), as well as at the top of individual product pages like this one for Dior Addict Lipstick - 762 Tout-Paris by Dior. add products to your makeup collection wherever you see these icons. once there, you can sort by category, have/want/have, or even build your own custom kits for further organizing.

Prefer prose? A snappy summary of reviews so far: Considering the application category the rating of five suggests users & critics evaluating "how did this product apply?" frequently suggest glides. Feedback for the moisturizing category an average total of four suggests replies to "how moisturizing is this product?" usually favor hydrating. In the long-wearing category an average of one indicates when asked "how long-wearing is this product?" mainly suggest disappears quickly. Reviewing the colour category the current two is a sign that responses to "does this product shift, or is it true to the pan/box/tube?" lean slightly color shifter. Looking at review rankings for the pigmentation category a rating of zero suggests reviewers in response to the "how pigmented is this product?" primarily suggest sheer.
at blushgarden, we think differently about reading and writing beauty product reviews. we believe product reviews should provide you with detailed information, let the writer quickly and easily share their thoughts, and be a fun experience for all. to achieve this, we provide a ratings scale for distinct criteria, alongside traditional written comments. this format gives reviewers a way to provide an in-depth review of the same specific aspects of a product, allowing you zero in on the criteria that are most important to you.
without the need for long-form written text, everyone saves time. don’t let us discourage you from waxing poetic if you are so inclined, some people are gifted writers and should share if they want to. we just want to encourage and provide great reviews without that particular barrier to entry.
as an example, one rating criteria for lipsticks is luster. luster ranges from matte to glossy. Matte might be a desired quality for you, while glossy might be desired for someone else. there isn’t a right answer, only your opinion.
an added benefit to the scales is quickly seeing how a product might perform. you can identify that a product is rated highly for luster without reading a lot of text. easily compare and evaluate similar products based on identical criteria. apples to apples, if you will.
we would honestly love to hear your feedback, if you have an idea for a new rating criteria, let us know! post in the feedback forum, or send us an email to .
The Happy Sloths @ JasmineThe pigmentation can be quite sheer depending on the shade, making these more similar to tinted balms. read the full review
