SQUISHY!

I kept hearing everyone talk about these sponges. When I mentioned to my friends that I spent money on it, they all laughed. They said it wasn't like using my fingers, and it was unsanitary among other things.

I tried it anyway, and I swear by it. The sponge is used WET. You must make sure the brush is damp or the results will not be what you want. It melts the foundation right onto the skin and blends effortlessly. I use a stippling motion with the big round end, and I use the pointed end for around my nose, mouth, and under my eyes.

I love the airbrush effect. My foundation alway looks even and natural. It never looks cakey. It's definitely a must have item.

Worth it

This was the first high-end mascara I ever owned, so it does have a special place in my heart. It was also when I realized that some mascaras are better than others.

I absolutely love the brush because it's super big and gets every single lash. It coats my lashes so well, and I feel like a pin-up doll. I feel like this is one of the only mascaras that thickens, volumizes, and curls. I only wish it wasn't so pricey so more people could buy it. I never want to spend so much money on something that I'll need to throw out soon, but I've never had this problem because I always use out this mascara.

Be Careful

While I love the Urban Decay products in general, please be careful. I've had more than one person tell me that the pink has irritated their eyes. Possibly because there is a red pigment? I'm not sure, but it's something you should definitely try on your skin before you purchase.

I also feel like for $32 it's a bit too pricey. I can buy another palette for $38 with 10 shades and get a primer.

Verve is probably my favorite color in this whole palette. It makes a great highlighter, but also a great liner. I lined my lower lash line with this and it made my eyes look like an anime. I loved the effect, especially because I foiled the shadow. I say that $32 is not worth the price for one shadow.

For me, it's a skip.

Huge

Does anyone else realize how big this container is? It's super big and lasts so long. This product is a multi-use product. I've used it on my lips and even my heels after a long day at work. I can put this on pretty much any dry area.

I really hate the packaging. Sometimes it won't open. Sometimes it won't close. I'm scared it will melt in the heat, and terrified it will freeze in the cold.

Delicious on my Lips

I love plumping glosses because my lips are so thin. This gloss is probably my favorite. I love texture because it stays on longer. It also does not burn. I've tried so many glosses that burn and sting my lips, but they don't actually plump my lips.

This one makes my lips look full and pouty. The glosses have a nice shimmer that automatically make your lips look fuller anyway. Hello, Angelina Jolie lips.

A MUST HAVE!

I don't really use MAC foundation all that much anymore, but when I did I would never buy without a pump. I actually think they should make their foundations with a pump.

Every time you open the container to pour anything out bacteria is always trying to find a way in. It's unsanitary to keep opening the bottle each time.

You also save product if you can measure the amount of product that comes out. Save money and just buy a pump.

MY PIMPLE IS GONE!

I've been having random breakouts lately because of the SPF I was using. A pimple appeared right in the middle of my cheek and it actually hurt a lot. My co-worker actually recommended this to me, and to be honest I didn't have high hopes for the product.

On a whim, I gave it a try. I applied a little bit before I left for home. The next morning the redness and swelling had significantly gone down. It had only been one night, but I was extremely impressed.

It is a really small container though. I wouldn't recommend this to someone who has large problem areas or breaks out often because it wouldn't be worth the $18.

Yummy Bubblegum

I'm never sure whether to eat this product or not. Once it's on my lips, I swear I want to like eat it. It is edible (just incase you do).

My favorite thing about this product is obviously the smell (because I'm obsessed with bubblegum). It really is a great scrub though. It really takes off all the dead skin cells, and it isn't too harsh either.

I'm not sure whether it's just my batch, but it is a little hard to pick up because it's a bit dry. It seems to need a bit more oil in it, because it tends to make a bit of a mess. It does last a long time, though. Definite win.

Perfect for Summer

I received this product at a Beautylish event, and I have to say it has become my best friend.

It's so moisturizing that it feels like a balm on my lips. It has a natural sheer coverage, with a bit of shimmer in it. I got mine in Fever, but I also bought Pouty because I loved it so much.

I hate having too much on my skin during the summer because it's so hot out, so this is just a light color that can work with any outfit. It looks very natural and almost like my real lips.

There is a slight minty tingle to this product as well, which makes my lips feel cool. I love that the packaging is like a little marker, with a twistable bottom, so I don't have to sharpen. It's super convenient for girls on the go.

OBSESSED

These are hands down my favorite candles ever. I love Sweet Pea, and my aromatherapy one in Lavender and Vanilla.

It's come to the point where I cannot sleep without the night therapy one. It's relaxing, calming, and fills the room with sweet scents right away.

The scents last, and so does the candle. I burn mine everyday for quite some time, and usually don't have to buy another until there's a sale again.

They're totally worth it when it's 2 for $20.
