My lips but better

This is my "my lips but better" shade. It's very moisturizing and creamy with a sheen finish. It's not super matte but not really glossy either. The description says its sheer but it definitely shows up well. The fact that this has spf in it makes it perfect for summer. I can't wait to buy more colors of these! I took off a half a star for the lasting power but that's not a huge issue for me.

Subtle glow!

I love the color of this..it has a subtly pink undertone that's gorgeous on the top of the cheekbones. This is subtle enough to wear during the day but I wear it at night a lot too. I apply it with my fingers and it blends easily. It gives a beautiful glow..I recommend it!

LOVE!

This mascara is amazing! It gives serious volume, thickness, and length. It lasts all day until you take it off - no flaking or smearing. It does everything it says it will do. Will def buy again!

Great for mixing with matte foundations

If you have oily skin, this foundation is definitely going to need powdered and blotted throughout the day. For the winter I think this is a good option if you like a dewy look. For the summer I'm personally going to steer clear of this one in favor of something more matte. However, I have combo/oily skin. If you have dry skin you might be able to get away with this year round. I'd say the coverage is medium. I still need concealer for any acne, though. The lightest shade isn't quite light enough for me but as long as I make sure to blend it down my neck I can get away with it. In the summer when I get a bit more tan it will be alright. I like to keep this in my foundation arsenal to mix with foundations that are a little too matte. Depending on your skin's needs this could be a nice foundation to have around.

I've had this foundation for about 2 months and I love it. I like to stipple it on with a Sigma F82 and then blend it in with an F82. The way I apply it gives a medium coverage. You could apply it differently to make it less coverage if you wanted. I build up layers on my cheeks where I need more coverage and it doesn't look cakey. It looks really natural, more like skin than makeup. It gives a pretty dewey finish. I set it with a silica powder to take out some of the shine. After that step, it really does give you a lit from within look. Keep in mind that I have moderate acne to cover and this hides it wonderfully. I usually use concealer on top to give more coverage over blemishes but I would be comfortable going out of the house with just this foundation on. I have combo skin and this doesn't accentuate dry areas or make oily areas look more shiny. I don't think it lasts 18 hours, though. Maybe 10-12 depending on whether you use a primer and set it with powder. I have only used this in the winter so I can't say how it holds up to the summer heat, but I suspect that it would need to be powdered throughout the day. Sometimes if I don't want such a dewey finish I mix it with L'oreal True Match and it makes it more matte but still natural looking. I usually use 2 pumps but if I'm mixing it I use one pump Lancome and about the same about of the other one. Overall, I'm really happy with this foundation. I would repurchase this even though it is quite expensive.

This is my favorite formula of nail polish. I like how easily they apply. It only takes one coat for it to be opaque. Every nail polish is going to chip eventually but these take about 4 days for me on average. I'd say that's pretty good. I have this in several colors. I'm very happy with this and I will continue to purchase these in different colors.

I love these. I always keep one in my purse, in the car, in my backpack, on my nightstand..basically everywhere. They smell wonderful, they're cheap..what's not to love? My favorite scent is Winter Candy Apple.

I don't think the hold is super great for styles like curls or updos but if you have something simpler this might work great for you. The main reason I keep buying this is the smell. If they made a perfume of this, I would buy it. I can't even describe it but it's delicious. If you're looking for a light hold, I recommend trying this out.

This is a really nice product. It makes my hair feel so soft and silky and I love the coconutty scent. I color my hair and use heat on it so I wanted something with a little more oomph than my regular conditioner to use every once in a while and this is perfect. It is so easy to brush afterwards. This product does everything it claims to do and I'm very happy with it. I will repurchase when I run out.

I have this lip gloss in Wallflower and it's my "my lips but better" color but slightly darker. It's a little bit minty but I don't mind. The texture is really nice as well. It's not sticky but it's thick enough that it will stay on your lips for quite awhile. I wish it had a doe-foot applicator but other than that - no complaints!
