Beauty Product Reviews

I work fairly long days, and sometimes my face needs a little "pick-me-up" during my shift. These beautifully colored liners are just what the doctor ordered! My favorite is "Perfect Peacock," a teal shade. It makes a great winged eye, and even looks great on the waterline, or smudged lightly below the lower lash line.

When I first purchased one of these glosses, I didn't realize that it had a nice minty sensation, which I absolutely love! I merely purchased it for the shade. I have naturally full lips, which is why I may not notice the plumping, but I do notice that it makes my pout look even, well, poutier.

I'm fairly certain that out of all their palettes, this is my favorite one. The colors are perfectly coordinated, and work well with any eye color and skin tone. I love the rich, buttery formula, and the beautiful iridescence and shimmer. The dark blueish shade, "First Dance" is one of my favorites to use when creating my "signature" winged eye I usually sport. It's soft, yet bold at the same time.

I love this. I mean-I LOVE IT. I have naturally long lashes, but I want them to be larger and volumized, too. I like to really "pump it up" so to speak, and add another layer of the fibers on after I've used the "top coat." This wears all day, and I don't have the little flakies on my face after a few hours like I will with some other fiber mascaras. If I want my lashes to look extra huge, I use the fibers with the Lash Injection Mascara in place of the one it comes with, and I find that the "system" is easier to remove that way. Which is the only problem I have with this. It's kind of hard, and a little messy, to remove. But, if you have the patience, I definitely recommend this product.

I'm not one for neutrals, but I do love this palette. It gives a soft look to the eyes, while still creating a bit of interest. The only qualm I have is that the black shadow is a little on the powdery side, and does not last as long as I would like it to. Other than that, I think this collection of shadows is a gem.

Even though I have oily skin, I still have some rough patches on my cheeks that make foundation application less smooth than I'd like. This primer feels silky on my skin, it controls my oil level, smooths out the roughness, masks my pores, and just makes my skin feel amazing in general. If for whatever reason throughout the day I get a little oily, I just pat some of this on top of my foundation and poof! Instantly matte skin.

I have this in Lemon Drop, and I absolutely adore it. It brightens my eyes, even when I'm not going to apply shadow on top, and prevents even my cheapest shadow from creasing. I have oily skin and have not experienced any issue with the wear. I even use a smidge under my eyes as a concealer primer.

I am a mascara junkie. I'll try anything from the drugstore to the department store, but this is always one my my standbys. I have naturally long lashes, albeit straight, and with this mascara I can skip using a lash curler-which I absolutely love since I'm not really a fan of lash curlers in the first place. This mascara doesn't flake, and is easily removed with warm water or makeup remover.
