Bath & Body Works� Signature Collection Sensual Shimmer Body Mist Sweet Pea
I have this in DARK KISS (not Sweet Pea)
It smells fabulous. My boyfriend suggested that I buy it, and it's a winner :) Every time I wear it I get compliments! It's just the right mix of light, floral, fruity, and musky. The staying power is surprisingly good for a body mist, and you get a good amount of product for the price, especially when it's on sale. The packaging is cute too, and the swirling shimmery liquid looks cool in the bottle. It is VERY glittery, which might not be desirable for some, but I don't mind. I would absolutely repurchase this.

This mascara is supposed to build volume. It ends up just being kind of clumpy unless you're careful to wipe down the wand fairly well before applying. It doesn't smudge or smear, which is nice, but it's not worth the work. There are better mascaras out there at the drugstore--skip this one.

PROS: Does a good job concealing under eye circles. Good wear time and pigmentation. Non irritating, non comedogenic. CONS: Very few color options. Very little product for the price.

PROS: Great neutral colors, mostly matte one shades or satin. Very wearable, labelled for easy use. Very basic, great for work/the office and those just starting out with makeup. Decent lasting power, especially with eyeshadow primer. Although the palettes are labelled for different skin tones, I own almost all of them and they all look fine on my NC30 skintone. CONS: Shades are just a SMIDGE chalky. Also, the plastic packaging feels sturdy, but the hinge breaks fairly quickly.

If you love dramatic eyes, you need this palette. To be honest, when it first came out, I thought, "Who the heck needs six barely different shades of BLACK EYESHADOW?" Well, apparently I did. Because as soon as I went to Sephora and swatched these shades, I was in love. The colors are interesting, and applied wet, even more so. They were pigmented and smooth, not chalky. As with all Urban Decay shadows, they have great lasting power, especially when paired with the included mini Primer Potion in Eden. And while $36 for a little palette seems expensive, this is a GREAT deal. Per gram, this palette is cheaper than the UD singles. Also, none of the six shades in this palette are available as singles. I would definitely repurchase this!

This is a GREAT basic palette to have in your makeup arsenal! Only 1 overly glittery shade, a couple of great mattes, and many nice shimmery colors. The pigmentation and texture of these shadows is beautiful. The packaging is modern and classy. I like that it conveniently comes with a mini primer and a double ended eyeliner, although most Urban Decay fans probably have a million of these floating around. The only downside is that it is a bit spendy. However, given that the Naked palette has 12 nearly full sized shadows (just a fifth of a gram smaller per shadow than the UD singles), it's REALLY a steal. Money wise--basically, if you only use up THREE shadows in this palette, you get more than your money's worth compared to buying THREE single eyeshadows. That's just CRAZY! I'm considering buying the new one, that has a brush, as a backup, because I love this palette so much.

I have this in Passionflower. PROS: It comes in an adorable and sturdy tin. It's good sized. Somewhat moisturizing. CONS: The texture is a bit thin. Scent is underwhelming, compared to other MOR products that I've tried (Clementine Neroli Candle and Lychee Flower fragrance oil). $10 is a bit expensive, given that the product itself is just okay. I wouldn't repurchase this.

PROS: I love the metal tube and apothecary-like packaging. It doesn't leak, it's nice and sturdy and I can throw it in my purse/totebag without worrying it'll get everywhere. Nice vanilla scent, not overpowering. Leaves my hands feeling moisturized, not greasy. CONS: Pretty expensive for a little tube! Overall, it is a bit spendy, but the quality is amazing. I should really stop trying to find a cheaper hand cream because the good ones do cost a bit more, and this one is worth it.

Clean & Clear Makeup Dissolving Facial Wipes
My favorite way to remove makeup, sunscreen and waterproof mascara!
These wipes are great. I've used more expensive (and less expensive) makeup removing cleansers, wipes, balms, etc., but these are my favorite by far. They definitely get all of my makeup, sunscreen, and waterproof mascara with ease, and are very reasonably priced. They're very gentle and non irritating, even to contact lens wearers, and Clean & Clear makeup dissolving wipes are also free of parabens and other undesirable ingredients. They have a slight scent to them, but it isn't bothersome at all. They do leave a slight oily-ish residue. Since I always double cleanse my face (once with these wipes, and once with bar soap), I don't have a problem with the residue. I highly recommend these!

I used to buy these for my dorm room. The scents are fabulous, and they last a long time. It is annoying that if you accidentally knock one over, it'll leak. They can be a bit spendy, but it's worth it to have your home smell nice. They're on sale frequently though! I love the warm vanilla sugar--it smells like you just made cookies. I've been using Scentsy wickless burners, but it's kind of expensive, and I think I'll go back to BBW wallflowers.
