Alberto VO5 Extreme Style Weightless Volumizing Mousse

Worthy HG

I wouldn't necessarily say that my fine, straight hair gained luscious, shampoo-ad hair, but this mousse is definitely one of my HG products for its ability to fight frizz against humidity and gets extra points for styling hold and root-lifter. I use around one eggshell-size of the mousse and work it quickly through the hair at the back of my ears. I use the remains at the top and sides of my head--I place my palms against my scalp and massage it into my roots. This really cranks up the volume, and if I partially air-dry it, I'm left with gently voluminous waves. I've repurchased this three times, and you really should give this a try if you're looking for volume and anti-humidity frizz!

Revlon Powder Blush

Love That Pink!

Revlon Powder Blush is most definitely one of the best drugstore brand blushes out there. The color stays on for a fair amount of time with good color payoff, the slight shot of shimmer is subtle and gorgeous, and the texture is silky and easy to blend. Plus, the mirror is great for traveling and touch-ups! I also love the tiny blush brush included. Seriously, the brush is on par to my MAC 129 blush brush, albeit at a smaller size. My shade is Love That Pink, (#13!), a nice peachy-pink with a small, natural amount of shimmer. I greatly recommend this product! I find this a must-have for everyday, and for traveling light.

Revlon ColorStay Overtime Lipcolor

Love!

I adore this product from Revlon. I purchased it in Berry Reliable, a flattering cool-toned berry color. When using the base lip color, I found that it's best to go sheer, then build up color, or else it feels thick on the lips. Maybe try a dot or two on bare lips (or you can apply chapstick, I do that too), and spread it on the lips. If you want a more intense color, add another dot or two of the color. This longlasting lipcolor can make it through meals, no problem. The gloss will wear off after lunch, but the color will remain--albeit gracefully lighter with no color splotches. I highly recommend you purchasing this product! My only complaint is the slight plastic-y smell (although it does fade away in a minute and not unbearable).

Hard Candy Eye Candy

Eye Candy Indeed

I love these adorable eyeshadows! You definitely get a lot for your money in terms of function AND beauty. I strongly recommend these for any makeup lover! I own Lollipop (a nice peachy, rosy color) and Jellybean (a shimmery mauve), the one in the green and blue case in the picture. They are both very flattering and wear nicely for a long time with no creases. The shimmer is subtle and the shadow has a nice consistency with good pigment. Altogether, wonderful product!
