Absolutely Incredible!

For years, I have heard people rave about this particular bronzer, but I never bought the hype because I was afraid that it was too light for my skin tone (I'm an NW35), but on a whim, I purchased it because I wanted to try it out, and I am so glad that I did. Despite the fact that it looks so light in the pan, it's darker when applied to the skin. It's the perfect bronzer for contouring since it's matte. I still have yet to find a bronzer that works as well, and looks as natural as this one.

I originally bought the palette because I loved the neutral color selection, and I also loved the fact that it was an equal mix of mattes and shimmers. The mattes are extremely creamy, and easy to blend. You can really tell how pigmented they are when you swatch them. My only problem with this palette (and the only reason why I didn't give this five stars) is the pigmentation of the shimmers. Although the shimmers really look like glitters, when swatching them, they seem a bit chalky. The color pay off is not there, and it's slightly disappointing, but thankfully, the mattes overcompensate for the lack of pigmentation of the shimmers. Overall, I'm pleased with this product.

Honestly, this is the best primer ever!

Lately, I've been searching for that perfect primer, and I'm pretty sure I've found it. I have used everything under the sun. Smashbox, Benenfit, Too Faced...the list goes on, but this one is by far my favorite. The texture is silky when you apply it, but it dries like a powder. I can easily blend my makeup in, and it lasts all day. Honestly, my search is over!

Okay to say the least.

Benefit is one of my favorite lines, so when they came out with a new primer, I had to get it. It's marketed as a 15 hour foundation primer, which is what I needed. I want a primer that makes my foundation last throughout my long work days, however, this product is a bit of a let down. No matter how I applied it, or which foundation I applied it with, it was always hard to blend. My foundation always sat on top of the skin whenever I used this. Did it last for 15 hours? Nope, but it came close. All in all, I would not be repurchasing this.

Love it, but it creases!

These eye shadow sticks are amazing. The pigmentation of it is great, however my one big problem is that it crease rather quickly. Within less than half an hour, it creased on me. I have oily lids, and when I first test products out, I see how long it lasts without primer. Just a heads up to all the girls with oily lids like me, don't use this as a primer.

It adds volume, but doesn't deliver on the length.

I was "blessed" with very short lashes, so the main reason why I bought this was in the hopes that it would do as it claimed. Unfortunately, it doesn't. While it does add volume to my lashes, that wasn't the reason why I bought it. With the color, this mascara would be great for a natural look, but if you want something dramatic, this isn't the product for you. If I want any sort of length at all, I have to pile on the coats. Just the standard two coats will get you no where.

My new favorite powder.

I had heard nothing but rave reviews concerning this product, and since I needed a new powder, I thought why not give this a try. Not only is it inexpensive, but the quality is amazing. I was impressed that a powder that was less than 10 dollars could do such an amazing job. It kept my face mattte for the majority of the day. I live in a city with a very humid climate, so my makeup is always slipping and sliding off my face. This keeps everything in tact, and leaves me with a flawless finish. If you have oily skin like I do, I highly recommend this product. It is simply incredible.

In love!

Words cannot describe how much I adored this palette! There are so many versatile looks you can create with these beautiful shades. I tend to stay clear of crazy colors, but for the summer I like to branch out, and this palette helps me to do just so. Even if you are afraid to use color in your every day looks, you can still use this palette. It's easy to go from a nice subtle day look to a bold and intriguing night look. It's absolutely perfect!

Best heat protectant I've ever used!

After reading an article on Beautylish, I was extremely curious about this particular product. I have very dry hair, and I'm very weary when it comes to putting heat on my hair. Regardless of how much heat protectant I use, I always notice that my hair usually looks fried after heat styling. With this product, I no longer have to worry about heat damage. After I use this with my flat iron, my hair is smooth, silky, and straight. It's astounding, and what surprised me the most about this is that my hair actually looked healthy. This is my new HG heat protectant.

New Favorite Tinted Moisturizer

I was looking for a new tinted moisturizer for the summer, and I had always heard amazing things about the Laura Mercier one. Many of my friends swear by this product, regardless of the season or the occasion, so I thought why not test it out. I went to my local Sephora, and tried it on. It goes on smooth, and hardly feels like you're wearing anything at all, which is a key factor for me. This particular shade is a bit too dark, however since it is the summer, it's fairly easy to work with. If you are looking for something lightweight, but gives amazing coverage, look no further.
