Great Foundation

Bought this on a whim, and I didn't like it at first, so it just sat in the corner on my banister for months until I finally tried it out again. I loved it! The only downside was that it gave me a dewy finish. For someone who has oily skin, dewy finishes are a no-no for me. I had to put powder on just to take away the extra shine, but for girls who love dewy finish, then this is the perfect foundation for you!

Inexpensive quality eyeliners.

I've heard so many great things about NYX, and for the longest, I was practically dying to try out their products, but I didn't know where to buy them. Finally, an Ulta popped up around my school, so I was able to try out their products. First thing I bought was their eyeliner in White because I wanted a white eyeliner. I use this as an inner corner highlight (sometimes on my brow bones as well) and it really makes my eyes pop. I never use it as a regular eyeliner because I think white is too harsh on my waterline, but as a highlight, it does its job perfectly. It's affordable, and amazing.

Yummy!

For a while, I used to splurge on Philosophy products because I could never find a drugstore that gave me a nice moisturized feel. It usually retails for about 16 bucks, but it's 16 oz, I believe. You don't need a lot, because a little goes a long way. I shower twice a day, and with this body wash, it lasted me about 4 months each time. I also love the scent. Although it doesn't linger (which is seriously what I love about some body washes), it still smells amazing. The first time I used it, I said, "It's smells just like a Starburst!" I tend to go for the flowery perfumes when I'm out of the shower, but when I'm in it, I love the fruity scents because it wakes me up. Overall, this product is amazing!

Gentle yet effective.

I seriously am obsessed with this cleanser. It gets out all the dirt that accumulates under your skin throughout the day, and it also removes your makeup like a breeze. Yes, it is a bit pricey, but it's an investment for your skin.

Cute, and plumping.

I have this in the shade "Barely Legal" and it gives me that innocent pale pink lip. I had no idea that it double as a plumping lipgloss, so when I started feeling that tingly feeling that's normally associated with lip plumpers, I had to check the lip gloss and the mirror to see if it really worked. I can't really say if it did it's job or not because my lips are pretty full, but I do love this gloss. I tend to put it in the center of my lips when I wear it on top of MAC's Please Me and it gives the perfect effect.

Perfect for that natural flush.

I'm all for the natural look, so when I use a blush, I make sure that it gives me "Just came from a jog" flush. I also use this with a bronzer just for a bit of drama. This blush is that perfect girly shade of pink!

Great for every and anything!

Absolutely adore this palette. I use it on an almost daily basis. Now, most people will throw out the brush that comes with it because 9 times out of 10, it doesn't work, but I kept the brush, and I'm glad I did. I use it and the color Sexpresso to fill in my brows each morning. I also use Heaven as a cheek highlight sometimes. This palette is so versatile. I'm trying to imagine life without it but it's seriously impossible. Oh, and a note to all beginners, Too Faced puts in little how-to cards just so you know where and how to put the shadows on.

Not my favorite mascara.

I don't really find anything appealing about this mascara. Maybe it's the brush, maybe it's the formula, or maybe it's my super curly lashes, but it just does not work for me no matter how hard I try. I wiggle the brush from base of my lashes to the tips, and yet I still find myself with stubby little clumps. There have been times where I had to take my whole eye makeup off just because my lashes were way too clumpy. It also flakes like crazy. It seemed as though there was a Black Christmas under my eyes from all the flakes. Would not buy this again!

Great for girls on the go!

I was dying to purchase this product for the longest, and although it retails for about $30, you get what you pay for. I barely use the wax, and the tweezers are whatever, but it's really the powder that has me hooked. I'm a firm believe that good brows make for a good day. Brows are what shape the face, and this product is great for keeping up with your look.

Beautiful blush!

With a heavy hand, you might look like a clown, so applying it correctly is key. I use a light hand with a minimal amount of product on my brush, and the end results is a nice, natural glow. This blush is extremely pigmented, so if you do use a heavy hand, be careful, and blend it out really well. The brush that comes with this sucks. You're not able to blend out what you need too, and it's kind of essential with something so highly pigmented so I recommend a good blush brush if you don't already have one.
