Love these glosses!
Out of all the lip glosses I own, this line by Revlon is my favorite! They apply smoothly and do not feel sticky on the lips. It has great color pay off because they apply really creamy to the lips. These are one of the few lip glosses where I feel like it stands out on its own without any lipstick underneath to enhance it. If I was to pick one color from this line I would say try pink pop. It's a very flattering shade of pink (it does look really bright in the tube itself but applies to the lips a lot softer).
I am IN LOVE with this base coat! Normally I have to change my nail polish every other day because it chips and it will leave me with slightly stained nails (even though I had a base coat underneath it), but with this as a base coat the polish never comes off! My nail polish tends to last for a good week when I use this (along with a top coat), which has never happened for me before. I feel like I'm not experiencing any more issues with my nails getting stained, and my nails aren't peeling like they sometimes do. I think I finally found a winner in this base coat!
I have just recently started using this because I had been experiencing some slight acne problems and my dermatologist recommended to use this everyday for two months to solve my problem. I didn't really know how to rate this product because it is doing it's job and clearing out my pores and skin, but it also is extremely drying on my skin. I won't use this as a mask, but rather work it into my skin and leave it for 20 seconds before washing it off. It does have an unpleasant smell to it and the product is so strong it makes my eyes water. When you wash it off it leaves a cooling effect on the face and makes it feel a lot cleaner. Be careful when using this though because it does bleach your face and the towel you use afterwards so make sure you have a white towel handy. I stopped using this everyday because it was just too drying for my skin to take, but it does do it's job at clearing out my pores and stopping new acne from forming on my face.
I really enjoy using this cleanser because it isn't too harsh on my face, and I feel like it's gentle enough for daily use. When you are rubbing it onto your face the exfoliating particles slowly become a creamy cleanser. After you rinse it all off, it leaves your face feeling really soft and smooth. I feel like it did improve the quality of my skin, and left my skin feeling refreshed. I was able to find this product at Ulta.
I'm really enjoying this mascara because it curls my lashes and keeps them curled all day long. This mascara is also water/sweat resistant which I found to be true. I went swimming without taking my mascara off, and this mascara didn't drip down. The only way it came off is if I rubbed my eyes, and even then it would flake off so it didn't create raccoon eyes. Despite being water resistant, this isn't difficult to take off at night and I don't find myself rubbing my eyes trying to wash the product off. It doesn't make my lashes look as thick as I normally like them to appear, but this mascara really opens up the eyes because of the curl it creates.
I was recommended this night cream at the origins counter, and this is exactly what my skin needed. It really leaves your skin feeling a lot smoother with prolonged use, and makes my skin feel hydrated as well. The cream feels so smooth, but can be thick so you don't want to pack on too much of this product before bed. This really improved the way my skin feels and I'm currently loving this product.
What I love about this hairspray is that it is so light and makes my hair look and feel touchable. It is not a very strong holding hairspray, but that's why I like it for everyday use. I really dislike it when I feel like my hair is coated with hairspray and this product gives just the right amount of shine and hold. And of course, as is true about the entire Moroccan Oil line, this spray smells amazing!
My must have in this set is definitely the souffle body creme. The consistency of the product is so moisturizing, but above all it smells so good! This is definitely my favorite scent in the laura mercier collection, and is one of my all time favorite lotions. It is very hydrating, especially when the weather starts to cool off and my skin starts to feel dry. This is a very pricey product. During the holiday season they always come out with box sets of these bath and body products that are something to look out for.
I was skeptical to buy yet another two-step mascara because I wasn't a fan of MAC's Haute and Naughty Lash mascara, but I'm glad that I picked this product up. At first I must admit this wasn't my favorite mascara because it was too watery for me. However, after putting this in my drawers for a few weeks and discovering it later when the formula was starting to dry up, I fell in love with this mascara. Step 1 really separates the lashes and applies a light coat of mascara onto them. Step 2 just builds volume on my already separated lashes and makes them very long and bold. I tend to wipe some mascara off my wand before applying this step since step 2 really grabs a lot of product and it can get a little clumpy if you aren't careful. I always apply both steps because I prefer a little bit of drama in my mascara application. This is a very buildable and easily manageable mascara.
