ONLY ONE TRUE EYEBRUSH, OTHERS TOO LARGE, GREAT QUALITY, SOFT, EASY TO WASH, VERY LARGE BRUSHES.

I think we are all familiar with the Pixiwoo sisters by now. As someone who has watched their videos for year, I was super excited when Sam was going to come out with her brush line. After watching her in action with the eye starter set, I went to pick it up at Ulta; however, I soon discovered that these brush heads are HUGE! The base shadow brush is only good for applying cream bases and maybe blending out the crease. The deluxe brush is HUGE! Like, wayyyy to big for anyone's eye. I only use it for concealer under the eyes now. The small detailer brush can be used anywhere on the eye- no complaints here. But they pixel perfect liner brush....is this a joke. Nooooobody can use that as an eyeliner, again, it's HUGE! The angled brush is quite thick as well, so don't expect any perfect brow line or even to use it as a eyeliner (that's out of the question.) All in all, three out of the five brushes are actually usable, not all for the eyes, which is why I purchased the kit, but for $17 it's not a bad kit to just play around with. Great quality, soft bristles, good weight to them, and they're super easy to clean and fast drying. These are the only brushes that I've ever been disappointed with from Sam's collection. Xx

GREAT MATTING POWDER FOR OILY SKIN.

I have super oily skin in my t-zone, so I need something that absorbs that oil without looking cakey, and this product does a great job at performing that task. I recommend that translucent shade over the others because it has no color to it, and you can do touch ups with it and apply it throughout the day. I wouldn't use this as a foundation, it can be patchy if you try and apply it all over the face and they are very sheer, I do think their main intention is to be used as a sort of blotting powder. Leaves a matte finish and is a good product to try if you don't want to spend $30 on the MAC version! Xx

FANTASTIC FOR THIN AND FINE HAIR. BETTER THAN MOROCCAN OIL.

My scalp tends to be very oily, and with the addition to fine hair, that's not a cute look. The Biosiolk Silk Therapy serum is amazing. It gives a healthy shin to your hair (not an oily look) and it makes my hair feel and look thicker. I also have tangled hair after my showers, so I pop a tiny, tiny amount onto my hand and run this stuff from ends to roots. I can then run a wide toothed comb through my hair with no problem. I can't remember if it has a smell or not, which is good since I hate it when my hair smells like a heavy scented fruit bowl. I know that my hair looks and feels fresh after applying this. Wonderful product! Xx

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE HYPE AROUND THIS?! DO NOT BUY THIS!

I bought this top coat on sale at my local TJ MAXX. (Who really spends $12 on a top coat?!) I had high expectations for it because of all the Youtube review it got, but I don't see it!! I hate the brush first of all. It super thin and long which makes the application process to take forever. My nail polish chipped about a day later, which it would have regularly done WITHOUT a top coat. On its last leg, I tried it as a top coat only (not polish underneath it at all) IT PEELED OFF IN TWO HOURS! Like the whole nail peeled off. WTF? Thank the heavens I bought this on sale, because I would have smacked myself with a board if I bought this for the $12 it retails for. You're better off with sticking to the drug store stuff. Such a shame. Xx

WALKED BY SOMEONE WHO WAS WEARING IT, I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE!

I walked by my teacher who was wearing this fragrance, and I had to walk by a second time....okay even a third. I love the smell of this, so fantastic. And the bottle is gorgeous, she had the bottle on her and we went on a sniffing spree just smelling this thing for ten minutes! I cannot wait to purchase mine, I might even love it as much as my VR Flowerbomb! XX

MUST HAVE FOR DIE HARD COLOR FANS!

If you're not sure whether to order from Sugarpill or not, DO IT! The pigmentation is true to the pan color, no joke. These are the richest colors ever, and they are amazing to apply. Usually matte colors are harder to blend and work with, but these are a breeze. I love m palette and although I'm not as daring as some and don't wear color eyeshadow out often, I love it. But you can bet that when I do, I get tons of compliments on the colors. Love, love, love. Xx

NOT WATERPROOF! COLORS CRACK, HAVE TO LAYER FOR COLOR PAYOFF OVER DARK EYESHADOWS.

When Lime Crime was having some kind of sale, I decided to buy the set of Unliners which runs around 54$ or something like that. With that kind of price tag, you would expect them to pay off, right? Wrong.I initially got them for summer use to use in the hot sun for a pop of color. You won't find this to be good because they are NOT waterproof. I didn't see this as being a problem at first because I've used plenty of non-waterproof eyeliners; however, these bad boys run and disappear with ANY kind of moisture. If you plan on wearing these over dark eyeshadow, think again. You have to layer these at least two times to get a decent color pay off. Which leads me to my next problem, THEY CRACK! If you layer too much, they being to flake off the lash line. All in all, I'm super disappointing with this product. If you don't have oily eyelids or don't sweat a lot and just plan on wearing this by itself on your eyes, go ahead, this might be the product for you. But for hardcore makeup junkies like me, check out the Illamasqua colored eyeliners. They seem fantastic and I have yet to be disappointed with one of their products yet. Xx

BE PREPARED TO BE ASKED, "WHAT ARE YOU WEARING ON YOUR LIPS?!" SUCH A WONDERFUL PRODUCT!

As someone who watches a ton of Youtube tutorials, I always seem to notice and watch videos where these lovely ladies and gentlemen have glossy, pigmented lips. Nonetheless, they are always wearing OCC's Lip Tar: Stained Gloss. Rushing to my Sephora (which does not have a ample supply of OCC products to begin with, let alone this new collection) I picked up Rhythm Box. They didn't disappoint. Like the name says, they stain your lips. This is a fail safe method encase you're one to lick lip products off, or are a fan of greasy foods that are not friendly toward lipstick/glosses. Highly pigmented and glossy, people will stop you and ask you, "What have you got on your lips?!" I can guarantee it. Yet again, bravo OCC! Xx

GREAT COLOR PAYOFF, WONDERFUL SMELL, UNIVERSAL COLOR FOR ALL SKIN TYPES!

I bought the powder blusher in the color Disobey because of NikkieTutorials (Youtube). I find that I can not only use this as a blush, but also a contour and bronzer. I've had the opportunity to use this on one of my friends who has fair skin, and this was a perfect contour for her. It gave her a soft glow and wasn't spotty or uneven on her skin. The blusher also has a light fragrance to it which dissipates after applying it. Yet another nice touch. I will be purchasing more of these.

If you can't decide on an eye shadow from Concrete Minerals, chose THIS ONE!

I don't care if you hate the color cobalt blue, this color is irresistible. The texture is also amazing, the eyeshadow is so finely milled it inst "chalky" or "powdery". If you're afraid to wear such a vibrant color all at one, mix a little bit of Visine into the cute lip of the eyeshadow and it creates eyeliner. So gorgeous, I can't get enough.
