More than dry
I'm still on the hunt for a soft eyebrow pencil in "blonde" I came across these cover girl ones in a drug store a few months ago. 2 pencils a sharpener and for under 5 dollars? in blonde? I should have known it was too good! I didn't even wait until I was home to rip open the package I tried them right in my car and oh boy was it bad. While the color looked good in the pencil when I tried to swatch it on my hand I had to rub and press and PRESS to get it to show up, it was perhaps the most dry pencil I have ever come across. I gave them one more try on my actual brow thinking my oily skin might help it on, not so much once again terribly dry and almost painful to apply. I promptly threw them away.
Perfect nude even on fair skin
Usually I have problems achieving the perfect "nude lip" my skin tone is fair and the undertones are very pink, most nudes turn pink when applied. MAC already being one of my favorite brands (they keep my dry lips hydrated all day) solved that problem with "MYTH" I tried this in store when they had already sold out of their "hey sailor" "salute" lipstick I had been dying to try, but I was sold! This color goes on true nude no shimmer no gloss just a creamy nude that cancels out all traces of my pink lips, I love!!
One time buy
I ordered this product as a combo, i got it alone with the bad gal liner (which i loved) but sadly this mascara didn't live up to any of my expectations. It took me a few thick coats to get all my light lases covered and as dark as i like them to be, and within a few hours i noticed the tips breaking or "flaking" off. Within a week it seemed to dry up quickly and gave me clumps yikes! All in all i'd say pass up the full tube purchase, try it in a sampler first.
THE black
If you love long, black, and dramatic lashes then this will be your best friend (it's been mine for over 3 years) the formula is thick enough that it doesn't run or smudge when applying and adds the deepest sexy black to even the lightest of lashes. I've read a few reviews in the past about flaking and "racoon" eyes but personally i've never had it happens this masacara stays put untill you scrub it off. A little pricey at around 32 dollars (give or take a few) but trust me it's WORTH every penny!
Mistake proof
I have been filling in my brows for as long as i can remember (i have always dyed my hair darker) and never like the hard look of pencils, and always hated brow powder that was too lose. I would get more on my cheeks than my brows. But this is my new favorite it's highly pigmented formula guarentees you do not need alot on your brush to get your desired effect. It goes a long way for the price and since it comes with two colors its highly customizable, i'll be using this untill they get rid of it (which hopefully is never)
Options Options Options!
The choices in this kit are endless and for me there's no other way to experiment with a new look besides having a large amount of choices. The brand itself has never let me down the eyeshadows are true to the color (this goes for everything included) you see apply well and stay on all night. I'd suggest it to anyone from someone who's new to makeup or a pro. I can't wait to see what they release next.
Statement Color
Lipstick was never a staple of mine until I saw the MAC add for their viva glam gaga shade. I was sold. I always stick to neutral or pink shades of gloss so this was the perfect shade of bubblegum pink to try. I'm in love its smooth long wearing and I always get asked what's on my lips. This is definately a product I'm going to stock pile!
Best so far!
Having light skin (and not tanning) has me relying on bronzers year round and this one by far is my favorite. It's a great value for the size you get and with a little going a long way it really lasts. Super blendable, cute packaging, not orange with just a hint of shimmer I'd recommend this product to anyone.
I've always loved opi (and any excuse to buy a new bold nail color) so i was thrilled to see sephora carrying this! after a few coats it covTers and looks great
