Henri Bendel Candles

Comforting

This candle smells lovely and warm and comforting - the perfect thing when you're curled up and cozy at home on a cold or rainy day.

Alison Raffaele Transparent Finish Powder

Nice Texture but a Little Chalky

This has a nice silky texture going on, and it absorbs oil well and keeps shine at bay for a respectable amount of time. However, it looked a little bit chalky on my skin - maybe because of the very pale color of the powder itself (although I am also very fair).

CoverGirl Lipslicks Lipgloss

Nice texture, weird colors

This is lovely and soft when you put it on - easy to apply. But the colors are really odd - very different on than how they appear in the tube, and not necessarily flattering once they are applied.

C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Tint

Fun minty flavor

This lip gloss has a lovely, strong mint color/flavor that is very refreshing. I wouldn't wear it too often though, as the mint/mentha can be irritating for lips.

Stila Lip Pots

Moisturizing and Pretty

These come in some really pretty colors, and they feel super soft and moisturizing on your lips. Sheer and subtle, and smells nice too.

Sephora Super Shimmer Lip Gloss

Nice gloss

This is a nice enough gloss. Probably too sticky to wear comfortably on a windy day. The colors are OK but nothing amazing.

Stila It Gloss

GORGEOUS Colors

The colors this gloss comes in are stunning - the kind of shades that you look all over for but can never seem to find. Its definitely not a subtle/professional look, but the gloss isn't sticky and the colors are really pretty.

Stila Lip Shine

Nice but a little sticky

This is a nice gloss - Stila does beautiful colors in most of their lip projects, but the texture was a little bit too sticky for my tastes, and the glittery shades had too much gritty texture.

Lancome Juicy Tubes Ultra Shiny Hydrating Lip Gloss

Too sticky

Love the colors - very sheer and pretty, but the texture is just too sticky, and the scent is overpowering.

Wet n Wild Eyeliner and Eyebrow Pencil

Cheap for a Reason

These eyeliners are cheap for a reason - their application is a little choppy and uneven, although that can be improved by warming the pencil with your finger first. But then it doesn't stay on well enough to make it worth it to go to all that trouble.
