I have the shade Beso and am absolutely in love with this liquid lipstick. The color is a gorgeous red that looks stunning on every skin tone (I've seen it on light skinned women and dark skinned women) and stays put. I can put it on for work at 7 am and it will still be on at nighttime when I am going to wash my face. I never use a lip liner with the liquid lipsticks I use (this one and KVD Everlasting liquid lipsticks) because these formulas are extremely pigmented and don't need a lip liner in my opinion. Beso stays on my lips all day, isn't drying or cracking on my lips, and I can wear it with an everyday nude eye or a dramatic smoky eye. I will be purchasing more colors and will purchase Beso again.

I have nothing but great things to say about Soap & Glory's Righteous Butter. First thing, this body butter smells amazing; has a wonderful clean scent that doesn't overpower my skin. I like putting this on my body after I've showered and like to let it absorb. This formula is somewhat thick but soaks into the skin very quick. The packaging of all S&G products is so cute, and compared to other body care lines that deliver great results, I think they're pretty fair priced. The 10 ounce jar is $15 and I usually buy my beauty products from Ulta. Ulta always has coupons off and I believe this brand applies so you can get this for a great deal. This formula is for Very Dry Skin, which I would say applies to me, especially during the winter. I love that I can apply this body butter any time of the day all over, including my hands and it just gives me so much hydration. The directions specifically say to apply to wet skin after showering/bathing but like I said, I can use it than and also on my dry skin if I need some hydration and it provides that. I've used other S&G products and have loved them as well; I love that the products smell clean but are not overly fragranced so I don't get a headache or have any irritation. I love this body butter and will be repurchasing!

I really enjoyed this multi benefit treatment as a detangler after shampooing my hair. The bottle says it's good for anti-frizz as well but I honestly didn't really see any good frizz fighting with this product on my hair. My hair is very frizzy after it's been brushed after I shampoo it so I use Hair Milk by Carol's Daughter or Curl Smoothie by Shea Moisture just to hydrate my curl. It was very easy to brush my hair after spraying this product at my ends and mid shaft. Also, my hair was super shiny and soft after it would dry and it was styled. I feel like it definitely hydrated my hair, especially my ends. It didn't do anything for frizz for me, but otherwise it's a great leave in treatment!

I couldn't get enough of this lip treatment and even though it was a tiny tube, it lasted me about six months, which I thought was an incredible value. I bought the matte version so I could apply this as a base for my liquid lipsticks. I bought this because it said it was a primer for your lips so I figured it would be great for liquid lipsticks but also to plump my lips. You get .12 ounces for $24 which is extremely expensive, but I'm telling you it lasts forever. I bought this in Dec 2016 and just ran out last week. You do NOT need a lot or your lips will be hurting. This treatment is potent. My first interaction with this primer was a lesson learned; I applied so much that I could rub my lips together and would have some left over. This is kind of a weird treatment to use correctly the first few times. It has a silicone looking texture but does not feel like that. It's so, feels smooth going on, and dries totally matte just as it says. I'd say it's a hybrid between a silicone and satin formula. It's amazing. Anyways, I applied 5 times too much and my lips were on fire for an hour. I was walking through my house doing breathing exercises to get the burning to calm down. But my lips were huge. Absolutely huge. However, I'm not a doctor, nor do I advise this. The next day I tried again except used a tiny bit and let it do its magic. It was amazing. My lips looked so perfect, and felt amazing. Smooth, pink, and nice and pouty. I Waited until it dried down (about 3-5 minutes) and than applied my liquid lipstick. My liquid lipstick went on easily, stayed all day, and came off easily with my lip remover product. After about a month I noticed my lips felt softer over all, and didn't have nearly as much cracking as they used to. The applicator is pretty cool; the only way I can really describe it is a teardrop shape with a hole in the center. The top has to be turned and the inner applicator pulled off. It's different. I like it. It gives the perfect amount of plump short term which is one of the best benefits and lays my lip product beautifully. It was pricey but it was worth every dime. Actually does exactly what it says. Will be repurchasing.

I've been using this product for over a year and it's one of the two Curl products I use to keep my curls moisturized, free from frizz, and defined. I stumbled across this when Ulta was having one of their amazing sales on TIGI products and was excited to test it out. This amplifier is about $10 but you can always get it on sale with some coupon at Ulta. You get a little over five ounces which is quite a bit as this product lasts for a while; if you use too much for your amount of hair I promise your hair will get so greasy (I already made the mistake.) Just be careful and play with it so you can see what works for you. Anyways, the packaging is pretty; a green and black that are sleek and easy to hold. The pump on this is great too; just easy to push, and about a dime amount comes out with a full squeeze. This is a pretty thick formula; I thought it was going to be really hard to work this into my hair but the polymers this product has in it grab onto my hair and makes my hair smell so wonderful. I specifically wait til after I've shampooed my hair, dry it down a bit with a towel(after I've brushed it) and than apply some of the cream into my hands and slide it from mid shaft to ends of my hair. I try to avoid my root area as I put some there one day and my scalp got so greasy but I've learned that I don't even need to put any there to make my hair be defined. So as I said, all I do is run the product through my hair (not really scrunching.) I don't need to scrunch this product, which I love, because it does the work for you. I wrap my hair in a soft bun, clip it, and let it dry for about an hour. After I let my hair down, it's soft, curled, and there is zero frizz. I can leave it like that or spray with a hairspray if I'm going to be outside and it won't frizz at all. My hair smells amazing too; has a tropical, fruity smell to it. I love everything about this product, besides the Curl Smoothie by Shea Moisture, this is my only other Curl product I trust.

I've been using Benefit products for a while now and love everything I've ever used as far as makeup. When I received this facial cream as a deluxe sample from Ulta, I was intrigued, because I didn't know how Benefit rated in the skincare department. Holy heck! If you have dry skin, you HAVE got to use this moisturizer. It literally gave me so much hydration I took some and put it on my knees and elbows because they get dry quickly and I knew this would provide some moisture. First thing I loved about this facial cream, is the adorable packaging that Benefit always makes. A pretty bluish glass jar with a pretty ivory top; very elegant and pretty enough to have on your vanity. I like taking this with me when I drive out of state for work because where I work for some reason dries my skin out so much. This moisturizer is somewhat thick, but dries down nicely and doesn't leave my skin greasy or sticky. You need the tiniest amount to cover your face, but I only use a bit on my cheeks and décolleté as they are dry and the rest of my face is super oily (combination skin.) I tend to only put this on in the evenings before bed or I will get too oily throughout the day under my makeup. I love that I wake up wanting to rub my cheeks and can feel how truly hydrated my skin is. It smells absolutely amazing too; luxurious and classy but not overwhelming in any way. Just smells like a beautifully fragranced facial cream. I was definitely impressed with this product.

It's hard for me to be willing to venture off to other brands of hairspray when I've been hooked on this one for years. I use this Volumizing hairspray for exactly that, to give my wavy/curly hair some volume after I let it air dry and want a beachy texture or when I've straightened it and it is too flat. I personally like to spray this with focus on my roots while I flip my head and have my hair upside down so I can let it dry down before I flip my head back over. This gives such a wonderful amount of volume, and it actually stays! Now if I spray this on my roots after I've teased my hair, oh my goodness, even MORE volume!! And my tease isn't moving and the volume is staying for hours. I love the smell of this particular hairspray as well; it's clean smelling and it doesn't linger like some stronger hairsprays do. I usually get these at Ulta on promotion for about $10 and the 10 oz bottle lasts me for a couple months. Great value as I use it every other day when I wash my hair.

Out of every beauty oil I've ever tried (I've tried many), I keep going back to the Caudalie Divine Oil, and always will. Everything about this oil is amazing. I have never used an oil that is more luxurious than this one. I initially tried this Divine Oil in a Sephora set that came with other products to try out. After using this oil the first few times in the deluxe sample, I knew as soon as I ran out I'd be buying the full size...and I did. I purchased the full size (3.4 oz) which is pricey at $49, but worth every dollar. This comes in a sleek glass bottle, with this really beautiful wooden top. The applicator is a spray top, which I love as it does not clog at all and sprays a decent amount with one pump. I like to spray two pumps into my hands and press my hands softly on my face, neck, and decollete. After having used this for about a month, I noticed my face felt smoother, softer, and brighter. One of the biggest pluses about this oil is the smell is to die for. It just reminds me of being on the beach, with the sun shining and as though there are flowers around me. I have brought this to the beach with me to give my skin and face some sheen as I do not like wearing making when I go swimming. This imparts a gorgeous glow and many times I apply this to my pulse points and use it as my perfume. It reacts so well with my body chemistry and is not too overpowering on me. Sometimes running a tiny bit through my hair and ends to just liven up my hair when I haven't washing it or mixing it with my body moisturizer to give my legs a nice glow work too. This is a full body oil so I use it all over, but I do focus use on my face. As I am making the move to cruelty free beauty, Caudalie wins again. They are a cruelty free beauty company and this particular Divine Oil has no animal ingredients! Thank you Caudalie, I am a lifelong customer!

For whatever reason my nails have always been very brittle and when they get longer they always start breaking or cracking on the sides. I can never get past a half inch of length before they start breaking off but I actually have just grown to like them that length because they always look clean and well groomed. This periwinkle shade is just stunning against my skin ( I have a heavy yellow tan skin tone) and I just love the way this shade looks against my tan. I am pretty picky when it comes to formulas of nail polish; I wash my hands a lot and my usual polish chips right off. I always put two coats of polish (letting one coat dry fully and than applying another) and love how this dried. It hasn't chipped at all and looks just as shiny as when I first put it on. One of the biggest pros of this nail polish and all of Wet N Wild products which makes me love them even more is that they are Cruelty Free!!! I have slowly started using up old products and we have made the switch to Cruelty Free products in our home. I love this polish and will be purchasing other colors.... It's less than $3!

I first received a sample of the Marc Jacobs highliner in Blacquer in my 2016 birthday gift from Sephora. I am in LOVE with this eyeliner. I asked for any shade for Christmas and received Wavelength which is a beautiful midnight blue shade. The shimmer in the eyeliner is absolutely gorgeous, not too chunky of glitter, and the prettiest blue shade. I love how incredibly smooth and creamy the formula is. I like putting it on the bottom of my waterline and putting a black liquid liner on my top lid to open my eyes. However, sometimes I like lining my top lid with the highliner as well. It's absolutely beautiful, lasts all day, and doesn't aggravate my contacts. Blacquer is also incredibly amazing as just a basic, shimmery black shade. Intense, beautiful, and longlasting. I want every color!!
