My new drugstore lipgloss fave
I picked up two of these, Crystal Lilac (baby pink with very fine glitter) and Fire (beautiful red-orange) and am in love with both shades. They're not sticky or messy feeling on the lips, and they're both pretty decently pigmented. Not quite that of liquid lipsticks, but not totally sheer either. I also love the packaging! I know that's a horrible reason to buy a product, but it is what originally drew me to these glosses. They're very chic looking.
SUPER moisturizing
I picked this one up in Baby Pink. The shade is exactly what you'd expect from a baby pink, so nothing special about that. What made me love this lipstick was how moisturizing it feels going on. I like to apply a balm before applying my lipstick to make sure my lipstick goes on smooth. I feel like I can skip that step with this product. Will definitely be picking this one up in other shades.
I picked up this product in Heartbreaker. A few things that I noticed right off the bat that I liked were that the stain side doesn't have that chemical scent that some stains tend to have, the stain doesn't burn like some other stains do when applied, and that the gloss is a nice, thick consistency. All around a good product, but I had to knock off a star because it seems like no matter how long I allow the stain to dry, a little bit of it still comes off when I apply the gloss. Not a big deal, the product still has some major staying power. Longer than lipstick or gloss.
Favorite brow product!
The light kit has become part of my every day beauty bag. As a blond, I have a hard time finding products to fill in my practically non-existent brows that look natural. I love this product because with a light hand, this kit can fill them in with a natural day-to-day look. Or you can be more liberal with it and achieve a bolder, more defined pin-up style brow.
Eh, I picked up the Strawberry one at Ulta a few weeks ago because I'd seen a YT guru gush about these balms. Honestly though, I have to agree with the previous poster. The smell is just off, I really can't stand it (hubby loves it though, go figure) and I haven't noticed any difference in the dryness of my lips. Perhaps this would be a good preventative measure against chapped lips in the winter, but other than that it's a total miss.
At least it doesn't crease
I've been a bit of an elf junky lately, trying everything I can get my hands on, (and usually enjoying it!) so I really wanted to like this product. If you're wanting a product that will smooth out your eyelid and keep your shadows from creasing, this is a great product to try. I've yet to have a creasing problem while using it as a base and it does leave your lid a bit smoother. However, if you're like me and expect your primer to have that almost velvety feeling so that it GRABS the shadow and makes everything more vibrant, this probably isn't what you're looking for. When swatching shadows over this, they do appear a bit darker, but just not enough for me, especially compared to something like the Urban Decay PP or the Too Faced SI.
Has become a beauty staple in my house!
I was really scared to try this mask at first. I have SUPER dry, flaky skin usually, and I've always heard that people who have dry skin should avoid clay based masks. Thankfully though, this mask hasn't done anything but improve the texture of my skin. I've gotten into the habit of using it twice a week, as it really helps get rid of flakes and leaves my skin feeling smoother and looking better! Since the clay can be a bit drying, I always follow up with my Pond's Dry Skin Cream to balance it out.
Awesome product, messy container!
I LOVE this stuff, very comparable to high end products. However, the container is a bit of a pain. The older container had the plastic seal over the entire lip of the container, BUT the newer packaging only has a sticker that covers the holes of the sifter. So my suggestion is that if you're wanting to try this product out, DO NOT peel off the whole sticker. Just take a needle or push pin and poke holes through the sticker over 2 or 3 of the sifter holes. Really helps in preventing product loss.
Fantastic eyebrow kit!
I have been having an extremely hard time finding an eyebrow product that works well with my extremely fair skin tone and light hair. The Light kit works amazingly. The wax side looks a little scary at first but is sheer enough to be buildable and I love that it has it's own setting powder in the compact. 5 stars for this one!
Fantastic stuff!
I love this stuff and it has become one of my beauty must-haves. I live in a very humid area of the US and "makeup meltdown" is a common problem. Since I've started using the UDPP I haven't had any problems with my eye makeup. Will definitely be repurchasing in the new packaging.
