your collection looks empty, select have, wishlist, or had from anything on the site to get started:
everything here is interactive: we set the defaults, you can change them. think a product has a different format or coverage than the one shown? change it! want to track where you keep things ( location) or thoughts about which primer or foundation brush works well with this foundation? 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 Skin Illusion Natural Hydrating - 103 Ivory by Clarins. 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.

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 foundation is formula thickness. formula thickness ranges from thin to thick. Thin might be a desired quality for you, while thick 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 formula thickness 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 .
not a review but perhaps helpful - here is a description from the source: What it is: A serum foundation that combines the fluidity of pure plant oils with the perfect amount of pigments that let skin breathe. What it does: This foundation delivers a smooth, flawless, bare skin feel with buildable coverage and 12 hours of impeccable wear (in a satisfaction test over 10 days with 109 women). The brand's HD Light Optimizing Complex with pink pearls and soft-focus powders provides immediate radiance, while red jania extract reveals a luminous complexion. Mary's thistle oil softens the skin and organic Leaf of Life extract hydrates for 24 hours (in a 24-hour test on 10 women).How to use: Use the glass dropper to dispense your desired amount onto your fingertips. Warm between the palms of your hands. Pat and smooth over your face, chin and neck. Apply pressure all over the face to help blend in the foundation.
