LOVE these lipsticks!

I’m really impressed with these lipsticks because not only they are very pigmented, they also lasts a long time. After 4 or so hours, you will notice that your lips are stained so it is possible for these to last for up to 7 or 8 hours. I think these are the best (by far) CoverGirl lipsticks. I still have to try the new NatureLuxe collection, but for now, I’ll settle with these gorgeous shades. I would like more please!

One of the best!

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua reminds me a lot of the Laura Mercier TM, but it gives much more coverage. I think this is a light to medium coverage; it is definitely not a full coverage. It also has a perfume-like scent, which I like, but if you prefer your foundation scent-free, this is not for you. It also has SPF15, which is good. Since this foundation is water-based, you have to shake it before each use. Honestly, I haven’t tried any other Chanel foundation so I don’t have anything to compare this with. As for the consistency, it is not as runny as the Rimmel Match Perfection, but not as creamy as the Laura Mercier TM, which is why this is one of my favorites. The packaging is great — it is plastic, and has a kind of square squeeze tube, which I like because you can control how much product you want to use. It is a bit pricey, but I think it’s worth it since you only need a small amount to cover your face. I think overall that this is a great foundation. I would recommend it to anyone with any skin type.

By the way, my shade is B50 - Beige Sienne

Great Toner!

I used to use Boots' Expert Sensitive Gentle Refreshing Toner, and I recently discovered this at Ulta. I only need a basic toner since I do a lot of things before washing my face (removing my eye make-up, using a wipe to remove my face make-up, etc.). This toner is amazing; it doesn't burn nor sting. It is kind of soothing since it has cucumber in it. I'm in love. I hope Ulta won't discontinue this. I've found my new love! <3
