Great natural-looking eyebrow color!

I bought this in #3 (dark brown) a couple years ago and STILL have a lot of product left in the tube- you only need a tiny, TINY amount each time you use this so it lasts forever! It blends very easily - I use the angle brush that came with it for on-the-go touch-ups or a full size angle brush to apply it. It looks more natural than pencil and you can build the color up as much as you need to. It's not completely waterproof and does fade over the course of the day (which is probably because I have oily skin), so I'm only giving it 4 stars, but you can top it off with a powder pencil to set it or do what I do - use Model in a Bottle Eyebrow Sealer so it stays in place =) Very good product and very inexpensive when you see how long one tube lasts you!

If this powder was a man, I'd marry it!

I cannot live without this powder! I've been looking for the right powder because I have very oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin and it's hard to find a powder that works with all of those skin problems but doesn't make my face look overly chalky or powdery. (I notice that too much powder makes women look older and their skin look drier because it settles into fine lines and I didn't want that.) Select Sheer Loose Powder makes my skin look matte without looking overly cakey or powdery - and it doesn't settle into lines! NC40 looked too dark for me at first but it was perfect - I just needed a little bit to mattify and set my makeup. My face looks gorgeous! I've been breaking out a bit due to lack of sleep from my new job but after using this powder on top of my concealer and foundation, my skin looks airbrushed and my makeup looks great! I plan to buy one of those refillable powder brushes or containers from Sephora for on-the-go touch ups. I hope they never discontinue this because it's a Holy Grail product for me!

This hair straightener changed my life!

I have the GHD Precious IV Styler and it is amazing! I use it with White Sands Liquid Texture Spray in Medium Hold (I just requested BeautyLish to add that brand, so I'll write a review as soon as I can) and I get compliments on my hair all the time. It's so easy to curl the ends of my hair with this iron because of the rounded edges. It heats up VERY quickly and makes a little beeping noise when it's ready and the process of straightening my hair is super easy and fast. I spray the White Sands Liquid Texture on a section of hair to protect it from heat and help hold my heat style, then I clamp down on my hair by the roots, pull it through and do a flipping motion towards the ends for a curl. The combination of the spray and this straightener makes my hair look so shiny and polished - I feel like a celebrity! =) Definitely recommend!

My favorite everyday eyeliner!

I love this eyeliner in "Black Coffee" because it is the perfect brown for me- the color is dark brown but warm and very pigmented and rich. I also love that it doesn't make me look tired like some other cooler brown eyeliners can- I have so many eyeliners but this one makes me look more awake and bright-eyed. The formulation is great- it's not chalky or crumbly at all so it's very easy to blend and smudge. It also applies very smoothly and lasts pretty long, although I do have to reapply it every couple of hours. This a great eyeliner- I use it every day. I just wish it lasted longer (but, to be fair, I do have oily skin so none of my makeup really lasts all day).

So far, this is the only foundation that matches my skin and doesn't break me out

I've tried so many different foundations but, sadly, they all break me out eventually. So far, this is the only one that matches my skin (I have tan skin with yellow undertones) and doesn't break me out (my skin is sensitive to EVERYTHING). I'm still hunting for the perfect foundation - one that has a little more coverage and is longer lasting than this one - but I'm sticking with this until I find it. =)

My favorite eyeshadows! They last longer than MAC for me...

I use "Twice Baked" and "Oil Slick" or "Zero" for my everyday smoky eye. I also use "Midnight Cowboy Rides Again" and "Half Baked" a lot. Urban Decay shadows are a favorite of mine because they're highly pigmented and they blend easily. They also last longer on me than MAC eyeshadows for some reason. (I have oily skin so it's hard for me to find e/s that lasts all day.) I also have the Skull Shadow Box, which is perfect when you're traveling because it gives you so many options for different e/s looks. Love it!
