Miss A might not be in every single drugstore like e.l.f. Cosmetics, but its products are even more affordable — and it has just opened a retail location. So, is Miss A worth the hunt? I bought a full face of products and found out. I bought all of these items to recreate the exact makeup routine I use on an average work day, which is a pretty light load for me. The first thing I noticed about these is that for their price, they were incredibly soft. The brushes that needed to be fluffy were fluffy, and the brushes that needed to be dense were dense — none of them shed on first contact. It was not at ALL the quality level I was anticipating for $1 a piece. The faux-leather brush roll also held up — it didn’t look tacky or synthetic like cough cough SOME BRANDS’ brush rolls. Miss A claims this lightweight $1 cream can adapt to different skin tones and meld into the skin for unclockable coverage. BB creams and tinted moisturizers are the kinds of products I use so much, I only really have them for a couple of weeks. Therefore, I’m not inclined to buy high-end or more expensive brands. This $1 alternative is exactly the kind of thing I’m constantly looking for. I am extremely picky about my beauty sponges — you’ll be hard pressed to find me using anything that’s not beautyblender or Real Techniques — and I often find that cheap alternatives are dense to the point that they can’t blend. But that is NOT the case with this sponge ($1, Miss A). Once wet, the density completely disappeared and, shockingly, actually got the job done. And about that silicone holder ($1, Miss A): I have been searching for one of these for what feels like decades, and this adorable one was literally the cost of pocket change. So far, I was feeling blessed. This is the loos translucent setting powder ($1, Miss A). I thought, “If there’s REALLY a quality liquid lipstick out there for one singular dollar, lives will change. The lipstick market will END.” That made getting the perfect lip line VERY difficult, as you can see in the above shot. But the color was amazing, it wasn’t drying — and for $1, I could honestly learn to love it. This is a baked powder highlighter ($1, Miss A) that is available in three other shades. It’s one of the best-reviewed products that Miss A makes. I like a dramatic highlight, so ultimately this product wasn’t for me. It’s the only one of the bunch I know I likely won’t pick up again. It’s essentially supposed to be eyelash extensions in a tube ($1, Miss A). That being said, almost everything delivered shockingly high quality for its $1 price point — ESPECIALLY the beauty tools. I’ll never spend $20 on a beauty sponge ever again. Well done, Miss A.
