Everyday lipliner

I loooove this lipliner! I had a sample and purchased the full size once I ran out. As they say, this is the only lipliner you will ever need! I wear it with red, pink, and berry lipsticks and it works great. It keeps your lip color in place so you get no bleeding and lasts for the most part of the day. The only drag is that I wish it was retractable, because you loose a lot of the product when you sharpen it. Still love it though!

Perfect nude gloss

I received this as a sample with the perfect nude lipliner and I'm definitely going to buy the full size once I run out. The consistency is creamy and the color is very opaque. Not too sticky and it has a little minty scent and feeling which I actually like. I feel it makes you lips look more fuller and juicy. Perfect to pair with a smokey eye for a sexy night time look.

My favorite color of the moment!

This is my first MAC lipstick and it's even more exciting that the collection was inspired by one of my all time favorite people in history Marilyn Monroe! The moment I saw this on Temptalia's youtube channel, I squealed! I must say I'm in looooove! Since the moment I set my eyes on this color, I had to have it. It spoke to me more than the other colors in the collection. The packaging is so gorgeous and I will treasure it forever.

Regarding the actual product, the color is super pigmented and glides on smoothly which is great considering it's a matte lipstick. It looks like a berry color when photographed on me, but in person it's more of a deep crimson or brick red. It is long wearing and I think it looks great on all skin tones, even super pale skin like me. Another bonus is that it doesn't dry out your lips which is something I've experienced with other matte lipsticks. And of course there's that yummy vanilla scent that MAC is known for.

Great setting powder

This powder is great to control shine. It goes on smooth and doesn't cake up. It lasts all day. I'm all about paraben-free makeup these days and I'm happy that I found an affordable brand that doesn't contain bad ingredients.

The perfect pink blush!

I bought this when I was at the Vegas store at the Forum Shops in Ceasar's Palace and it is now my go to pink blush. Such a beautiful cool pink tone. It is super pigmented so you just tap your blush brush in the product and that's all you need! It lasts all day on me. It really compliments my fair skin tone as well. It is so smooth and beautiful and not to mention it's not full of crap like parabens that are bad for your skin. The price point is amazing, only $12! And you get a lot of product too. I'm so happy I passed the MAC store and went to this shop instead, saved me a lot of money!

An everyday staple

Words cannot explain how much I love this palette. I got this palette the moment it was released last year. I use every single day. The shadows are sooo smooth and pigmented. I usually do a light smokey eye for the daytime and then add a little black on my outer crease to transition to night. The possibilities are endless. The case is sturdy and great for travel. It's a great value for the money. Great eyeshadow size, I haven't hit pan on any of them yet, and I used this palette everyday! I highly recommend this palette!

Lasts all day, great color, great design

This is the best eyebrow pencil I have ever purchased. It's the perfect color for my light brown hair when combined with e.l.f.'s medium brown brow powder. I also use e.l.f.'s clear brow gel to set everything in place and ensure it lasts all day. I love that it's a mechanical pencil so I don't have to carry a messy sharpener in my bag. It also is retractable unlike the maybelline define a brow, that once you push up the product, that's it, you can't retract it back. The spooley on the other side is the perfect size too. Some people complain about the price but I think it's worth it considering you get .003 oz. of product when most pencils only give you .002 oz. It is one of my holy grail products and I will definitely keep repurchasing it.

My favorite red

After searching and searching for the perfect blue-red lipstick, I finally found it. I walked by a SHAPES brow bar and was shocked at the massive NYX display they had. I was originally looking for this shade called Alabama but they were sold out. So the salesgirl recommended this one which is similar. I didn't think twice and I bought it. But I was disappointed that I paid so much for it, when later I found out they sell them at half the price elsewhere. Either way I'm happy with the product. It's goes on so smooth and the bonus is that I feel you don't need a lip liner as this works as one as well. The color is super pigmented and it's beautiful. The reason I'm giving it three stars is that you have to sharpen it or depot it to get the rest of the product out, and it's a plastic tube not wood, so sharpening it feels weird. I wish it was retractable like the clinique chubby sticks.

My favorite blush

I found this at Nordstrom Rack at an unbelievable price so I had to get it. I am in love with it! It's like a pinky-corally color with a little shimmer in it and it looks great on my fair skin. It's a great everyday blush and it doesn't have any chemicals or talc so it doesn't break me out or make me itchy like other blushes do. I highly recommend it.

Does what it says it does!

This stuff is amazing! It's perfect for my combination skin. It glides on smooth and blends easily. People complain about the size but you only need a little bit. I just dip my ring finger in and dab some on my forehead, cheeks, chin, nose and blend it in after applying my moisturizer. It mattifies your skin and makes it smooth for any type of foundation you want to apply. It also lasts all day. I used it on a day I went to Universal Studios where it was hot and I got wet in the face a couple of times and my makeup stayed in place. I will definitely be repurchasing this product again!
