So here’s the tea on Rare Beauty…

 Ms. Selena knew exactly what she was doing when creating this brand. I’m sure you know by now if you’ve tried any of her products. From the viral products that sell out every time they restock to the hidden gems in the brand, you may not have tried them yet. 

But is it all worth the hype? 

Here’s what you really need to try from the brand, and the ones you can just leave on the shelves and save yourself some coins… cause you probably need to save anyway, right? 

1) Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter 

Right off the bat, let me talk to you about the Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter. What a beauty… I have never touched anything so smooth and silky in my life other than these legs, periodt.

 Anyways, back to this highlighter and why you need it! This blends so seamlessly into your skin that it looks like you’re glowing from within. You can also use it on your body, giving the perfect glow all over. Although it may be sold out in many Sephora’s, keep your eyes peeled for the next restock! 

2) Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara

As the name suggests, it gives a perfect stroke with every application. I was pleasantly surprised with this mascara; it was long-lasting, had no running under the eyes, and gave decent length and separation to the lashes. Additionally, with a vegan formula, you should have no irritation with this formula!

3) Soft Pinch Liquid Blush

No surprise here, the Soft Pinch Liquid Blush. What really put Rare Beauty on the map. It’s no shock once you try out these blushes for yourself. There is a colour for everyone, and the tiniest pea size amount goes a long, long way!

 With the buildable coverage, you can customize the intensity for that perfect blush coverage. I love using “Joy” and “Encourage” a muted peach for summertime and soft pink for an everyday neutral look. Love it! 

I could tell you how you need all Rare Beauty products and why they are all great. While true, you don’t need every product on the shelf! 

Here is a list of products you can leave in the cart without regretting it.

1) Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil

The oh-so-viral hit is sold out everywhere. Let me explain why you do not need this in your makeup kit. 

Although it’s something different, it was underwhelming when applied. The cooling sensation was different and very lightweight; however, it was very basic. Once fully dried, your lips feel dry and need lip balm to regain moisture. You can leave this one behind, your welcome!

2) Positive Light Tinted Moisturizer

Similar to my opinion of my ex… this wasn’t all that great. I’ve experienced better-tinted moisturizers for sure. To keep it simple, the coverage was not it for me, and the colour selection ran a little orange. Again, as I’ve said to a few men in my day… it’s a no for me. 

3) Always An Optimist 4-in-1 Mist

Last but not least, always an Optimist 4-in-1 Mist. Many use this as a setting spray, but it only sets a little of your makeup. It doesn’t make your makeup last, as it suggests. And I’d suggest you skip this one. Many other settings sprays make your makeup last all day. Still love you, though, Selener!

This concludes my list of hits and misses from the oh so fabulous, Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez. 

I hope these suggestions make your next makeup shopping spree easier! Next time you’re in a Sephora, get a feel of the formulas for yourself, and hopefully, there is still some product left on the shelves; she really did all that and more with her brand.
