I love, love, love this smell of this. Amazing Grace is not girly, not too floral, it has a sharp scent that could be worn by a man. It's unique and intriguing. There's certainly musk, and also bergamot, and maybe some kind of floral, but the floral is not primary in this heavenly mix of scents.

This is easy to handle, it goes on easily, flows nicely and is pretty goof-proof for a liquid liner. The color payoff is quite wonderful, the black is very, very black, which is really excellent. It's very long lasting, as well. Also the tip is very fine, so subtle lining is easy. $20 is still a lot to pay though, also doesn't come in too many of a colors.

I really like this foundation. Completely free of any shimmer or pearlescence, it blends beautifully into the skin and leaves it looking fresh and even. I tried it on in the store, and the assistant put it on with a brush, so full coverage. When I got on line I asked the woman next to me if my foundation looked too dark. She said she didn't know I was wearing foundation. I don't know a better recommendation than that!

These are the best matte, budge-proof lipsticks ever! And for the price they can't be beat. I bought 9, and ended up giving 4 to my daughters because they were too light for me. I have tried all the fancy brands, but these rock at $3.99, especially when it's buy two and get the third 75% off! These lipsticks are also are luscious looking, really fabulous pops of color, and with lots of shade options. They're very saturated, so the color payoff is real. They are really, really resistant to being wiped off, and I use a face oil to remove them. I've begun to carry a lip balm with them, just to take them off. Also the really nice pinky-nude color looks very light and pretty on my light brown skin, especially because it pops with the pinky coral against my yellow undertones. But I think this shade would look great on anyone. Give Me Mocha, is also a dupe for the Kat Von D liquid lipstick in Double Dare. PS If you use a little lip balm it converts to a regular lipstick. Just go over it lightly with lip balm and roll your lips together, and viola! It continues all day, and stays just not as long as when they are dry.

This is a great formula for lengthening and thickening your eyelashes. It's got a gummy consistency that can be annoying, but it wears well. This mascara looks great, and lasts at least 8 hours. It gives both length and volume, I find it is very easy to use, too, with a great wand. Also it is not too expensive.

This is a luxuriously smooth matte lipstick, and it goes on creamy. It does last a long time, maybe not 8 hrs, but definitely till you eat. I love Matte Crimson it is as bright and as true a red that they make in this formula. I had a really difficult time picking out a lip color because everything was too light for my warm golden Caramel shade. I couldn't even find a second shade. Too bad, nice lipstick, a little pricey, adorable silver ribbed lipstick case too! More shade for us women of color should be first on the Clinique agenda. Overall great product, but pricey.

This is a great eyebrow pencil. When you draw with it, the effect looks natural. It's pricey, but that's one less thing to worry about in the morning. I like that the pencil is so precise and small, so you can get a natural, not color by numbers effect.

This is highly pigmented gorgeous color. I know, I know women of color don't blush. Well if we did this is the color I would blush! It looks totally natural IF you use a light hand and buff it out. I have honey toned, carmel-like mid brown skin and it made me look luminous. I know it's discontinued, but it was highly recommended by a beauty blogger of dark tones, so I found it on Amazon. And for $6.98 it can't be beat. Truly though I'd buy it if it was $30. I like it so much better than my current everyday blush which is Urban Decay Fetish. That one is way less pigmented and comes out lighter than the Milani Fantastico Mauve. What is nice is the pigmentation, plus the subtle look of it once applied. I believe this is one of the best blushes for the money, and probably the best powder blush I've tried.

I have dry skin. I've used this many times, and it does seem to add to the longevity of my makeup looks. I've used for work, and I feel things did not look the same at 5pm that they did at 8 am. Maybe I'm expecting too much. It does not feel like hairspray, it is not drying, and it has no strong smell. I like Caudalie Beauty Exilir for setting my makeup. I simply spray it on my makeup blender and dot it over my face gently. The Caudalie is $49 though, so I'll use up my UD Nighter, but I'm not using it for any all night partying. For that I use for Urban Decay Primer, setting with powder, and All Nighter is the best. E ye primer too, cause who doesn't get a little oily on the eyelids after dancing? The Urban Decay Eye Primer is the bomb! Both these products make your makeup last longer.

This sat on top of my foundation and did not blend well. Also the color did not have the right undertone for my shade. I had really high expectations, as I was using the Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation. It was thick and did not blend well, I found the coverage to be complete, but with a rosy undertone, which is wrong for me. Too bad the foundation and concealer didn't work well together. I just bought Tarte Sape Tape and I like it much better.
