When you walk into Walmart and get accosted by $25 skincare products in flashy packaging, it is natural to feel out of sorts. That is an extremely high price point for the drugstore, and you want to be certain the products are going to work before you lay down that type of cash. I am fortunate to be doing this full Joyce Bonelli Cosmetiques review, because my store had everything on clearance for $5-$7, which is the best time to try stuff out! I will let you know if these items are worth it, or if you are simply paying for the fancy packaging.
Briefly, if you do not know who Joyce Bonelli is, she is a celebrity makeup artist who works with the likes of the Kardashians. I find it interesting that we do not yet have a Joyce Bonelli makeup line if she is that well-known in the makeup artist world! Lately, Walmart has been getting into these single line brands from famous people, and I find them to all be so-so. I have already reviewed Carter Beauty Cosmetics, as well as Bedoya Beauty, which exist exclusively in the Walmart retail space.
Joyce Bonelli Cosmetiques Review
Joyce Bonelli Cosmetiques Makeup Setting Spray with SPF 15, Come Thru Flawless
The first item in this Joyce Bonelli Cosmetiques review is the Makeup Setting Spray with SPF 15 in Come Thru Flawless. It does provide a luminous glow to the skin, which often happens with SPF products. It does successfully set your makeup, but it will not extend wear time. Honestly, your makeup will wear the same as it always does. This product is nothing impressive over any other setting spray.
Claims: This setting spray should keep your makeup looking fresh while also protecting your skin from the sun. It is lightweight and moisturizing. You should re-apply it every 2 hours.
Rating: ★★☆☆☆
Joyce Bonelli Cosmetiques Peel Off Glitter Face Mask, Le Masque
Second from Joyce Bonelli Cosmetics is the Peel Off Glitter Face Mask in Le Masque. The packaging is weird because it has a foil lid. I could not get it to peel so I stabbed it with scissors, thus revealing it has a plastic lid under the foil. You do not get much product for the price. I know that the orb packaging seems big, but the actual pot is small. I got about five uses out of this, yet you pay $25. The smell is hard to describe, but it only has a handful of ingredients. It is somewhat painful to remove, which causes my skin to get red, despite the claim that it calms redness. But, it makes my skin feel a bit hydrated.
For whatever reason, my mind associates glitter with a product being cheap. I do recommend that you use a silicone mask applicator with this product. The reason is that the glitter settles, and the applicator makes stirring easy.
Claims: This mask should deeply hydrate, calm, soothe, tone, and reduce redness and uneven texture. You are to apply a thin layer to clean skin. Allow it to dry for 10-15 minutes, then peel off and moisturize. (I am amused that they tell you to moisturize AFTER using a mask that is supposed to hydrate).

Joyce Bonelli Cosmetiques Face Tightening Treatment
Third for the Joyce Bonelli products is the Face Tightening Treatment. The texture starts like a normal cream, but it gets thick in a hurry as you work it into your skin. It sinks into the skin with no residue. The area feels smooth, and you can see a slight blurring effect. Rest assured you will not experience pain or discomfort with this product, but your skin will feel tighter in a way that you can just barely feel when you flex your face. Please note that it does not fill lines.
All of this sounds promising, especially for wear under makeup. However, these effects only last for about an hour. Makeup will still sink into your lines. I would love this so much more if it lasted longer! But, it does play well with layering into skincare and/or makeup.
Claims: This product will instantly resurface skin to improve fine lines and wrinkles on a temporary basis. For best results, use after moisturizer, but before foundation.
Rating: ★★★☆☆
Joyce Bonelli Cosmetiques Face Serum for Dry and Uneven Skin, For the Gods
The last item in this Joyce Bonelli Cosmetiques review is the Face Serum for Dry and Uneven Skin in For the Gods. The name of this serum completely cracks me up! If you tell me something is “for the gods” then it better work darn good. The texture is super weird. It seems like the serum separates, yet you really cannot shake it. Sometimes it comes out thick, other times more like an oil. Either way, it applies like a weightless oil on the skin that almost feels like you are not putting anything on. With this being said, it absorbs quickly. It plays well with other skincare and makeup products. However, this product does nothing. My skin is not changing.
Claims: This serum helps to strengthen, to visibly sooth, and to protect skin’s natural barrier from the elements. It is for skin that suffers dryness, dullness, and uneven texture. For best results, use daily in the morning or night.
Rating: ★☆☆☆☆

Conclusion
In summary of this Joyce Bonelli Cosmetiques review, these products are incredibly lackluster. If you want to partake in the Joyce Bonelli Walmart experience, I recommend that you wait for a clearance deal. Nothing here is worth $25 a pop. These items are simply cheap products that do not do much of anything, while you are paying for plastic packaging. Sometimes, that is how the reviews go, but I hope that I am saving you some money and disappointment. Maybe we will see some Joyce Bonelli makeup in the future, and a better job will be done. Until next time, continue to let your true beauty shine.
