AMAZING!!! CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT !

Where do I begin...this is an amazing product !! Even great for on-the-go moisturizing- just spritz & go ! I like to spray it on my skin before makeup to calm it down..it also just overall makes my skin feel & look better. I will (almost) REFUSE to do any makeup without this spray. It completely changes the look of makeup....adds radiance, takes away any chalkiness or dryness of powder, sets makeup & makes it last a lot longer. It also works as a great mixing medium to make powders more pigmented. Recommend to absolutely EVERYBODY !! Even hooked my mom on it :) At $10 for a pretty big bottle, you can't beat the price !! An absolute MUA staple.

Not what I was hoping for.

After doing tons of research and spending tons of time on blogs & youtube, I decided to go ahead and buy this palette. I just couldn't believe how many shadows you got for that unbelievable price !! I ordered a few more things from them, including the contour/blush/highlight palette & the natural eye palette. I was so excited till I really tried to use the palette for a look..not what I was expecting. Bad color payoff, and had to layer & layer, or add MAC Fix+ to get the effect I was going for. I'll still use the palette for fun looks like Mardis Gras & Halloween; great for playing around with, but that's about it. The multi blush palette has shades that show up pretty chalky, but I LOVE the contour powder. My best friend (a fellow MUA) ordered the same palette & more & likes hers, so maybe I just got a dud. Either way, I was quite disappointed in both eye palettes.

Super pigmented & Blends easily !

I own this blush in other shades, but Orgasm is my ultimate fave. They have an amazing color payoff, and blend super super easily !! Orgasm really DOES work universally on every skin tone, and has the perfect amount of shimmer and golden flecks. Adds a nice Summery glow to any complexion :) Even looks great as a crease to a natural eye look ! NARS is one of my favorite brands, but $s been pretty tight lately..I couldn't reason buying such a small compact for the price..but I quickly learned a little goes a long, long way !! By far my favorite blush.

So fun to use & smells great ! But not too moisturizing.

I saw all the hype about this product online, and was dyinggggg to get it...but, I told myself I wouldn't buy anymore lip products till I used up some ! (They dominate my makeup collection). My boyfriend & I saw it at Walmart & I convinced HIM to buy it... ha ha !! We got it in Summer Fruit & we loveee it. Although it really doesn't do too much to moisturize the lips, it is just so fun & easy to use ! My lips did not feel drier/more chapped after the lip balm wore away, it just doesn't stay on very long. One slick covers your whole mouth...and my boyfriend now claims he feels 'naked' without it on ! Overall, if you're like me & just loove lip products, this is a fun novelty item to have..but if you're truly looking for a lip balm that's going to help dry lips, go with something creamier like MAC lip conditioner.

Great for extra shine & pout, but still sticky & sheer

The color is soo pretty to look at in the tube, but it is definitely a pretty sheer gloss. The color is a bright pink with blue and purple sparkle, which makes teeth look somewhat whiter ! The perfect gloss to add over lipstick or color to take it to another level !! The shine & sparkle make your lip poutier and more noticeable. My only con about this product is that, like most sparkle lip products, the texture is a little gritty & sticky & doesn't have a lot of color payoff. Extra amps is perfect for that bright Summery lip look you're going for, or to wear alone for a subdued medium pink glow on your lips !

Took my lashes to a whole new level !

My favorite of favorite Mascaras !!!!! I mainly used the more dramatic side, but the pink side was also good for a cute, natural daytime look. No clumping or flaking. Seperates lashes & adds unbelievable length !! I always get asked if I'm wearing falsies when I use this :) & Honestly, I can't even wear my glasses when I have Haute & Naughty on ! Talk about length :) For longer wear and even more drama, I recommend curling your eyelashes first ( this product won't do much for curl) and using a lash primer first. Among my favorites : Tarte's MultiplEYE waterproof primer & Mac's Prep & Prime for lashes. These basically make Haute & Naughty or any mascara on steroids ! My only wish is that MAC made H&N in waterproof for Summer, or brides !

Go Gaga !

Love this lip gloss when I'm going for a natural or beachy look. One swipe & you're set !! Super pigmented and also moisturizing. However, layering it on top of the matching lipstick is a little...blah in my opinion. On both myself and others, it washes anyone out for the most part. I like to add a pink or peach lip liner underneath for a little more color. More brown undertones than a lot of the other nude lip colors I have with peach undertones. Doesn't look cheap..One of the truest "nudey" lip colors out there !

The primer before the primer ! Must have !

Believe me, I'll spend a fortune on all things beauty, but paying anything over $40 makes me cringe. In the past, I swore by Dr. Wexler & Clarins....but MAC Studio Moisture Cream has COMPLETELY won me over !!! Only $15 for a decently sized jar, and does what it promises. I've used mine everyday since I bought it in March & still have a few uses left. A little goes a long way, and it instantly calms down your face...& is like a drink of water for your skin ! My face just doesn't feel 'complete' unless I've put this on in the morning. Refreshes & deeply moisturizes your skin without making it super oily or clogging your pores. I have combination skin ( super oily t-zone with dry patches) and am sensitive to breakouts, but this is one of the only creams I've found that moisturizes my face yet doesn't break it out OR make you look like you smothered lip gloss all over your face. Fills in fine lines and makes skin super soft as it promises...I like to think of it as the primer before the primer :) Among top 5 products I can't live without !

The perfect "Barbie pink" lip color :)

One of my go-to faves ! I ended up buying more of this lipstick because my friends couldn't stop using it ha ha ! It is soo pigmented, but still creamy & provides some moisture. Topping it off with a little of the matching lip gloss creates a pretty, shiny finish :) Using only the lip gloss is a little sheer & a more subdued look if that's what you're going for. Extremelyyyy similar to Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday, but again, viva glam isn't as drying since it's a lustre. Pink Friday is lighter and has more blue/purple undertones. Looks great with a neutral eye, smokey eye, or colorful purple look ! It has looked great on every skin tone I've tried it on yet !
