i have been wanting to build up my blush collection without spending a million dollars and this was a great decision! i want more colors! i only have luminoso so far and it is the most beautiful dark peach color. it is definitely my favorite color this spring/summer because it goes great with my skintone, NC40, and blends so great with my bronzer of the moment, the balm's betty loumanizer. the pigmentation is awesome and can be built up. for the price i will definitely be purchasing other colors and repurchasing luminoso if i ever run out! lol

Am I the only one that uses this on my face? lol well anyway I bought this because i had heard great reviews on it and i have to say i am impressed as well. I have only used this product on my face to add a nice glow to my upper cheek bones and its sooo beautiful. at first i saw the color of the product and was like what the heck but i tested it on my hand before buying and it blended so nice and it was definitely more liquidy than thicker cream but it never messes up my foundation or powder i already have on my face. you only need a tiny bit to give a nice glow to the face. this bottle will probably last me forever! and if it does not i will repurchase. i also have the pink one- not sure what its called- i got in in pack with two other products, its just a small sample size. i do not like that one as much because the pink tone just does not look good on my skin tone as a highlight

I bought this concealer because i had heard many great reviews on it (prior to seeing it here lol) I typically dont spend $10+ on one concealer because i frankly do not have much on my face to conceal. Unless of course i break out. I definitely like that it has two shades to mix or use on their own. depending on the area of my face i put it on i use them alone or mixed. I really like to use this concealer to use to clean up my brows once i have filled them in. i use it with a flat synthetic brush and it works well with this creamy product. it blends really easily into my skin- i use it mostly after i have applied foundation, sometimes before, but either way it works well. i do not like this product for under my eyes. for me i feel like it creases easily even when set with powder. Speaking of powder, i dont ever use the powder it has. i think its mostly because i would like to use a bit bigger of a brush than the packaging allows me to use. Also, i have these creases on the edges of my eyes that are so hard to keep my foundation/concealer set in that i have to use a powder foundation to set that area. I would recommend this product to any skin type but would not recommend it to use in areas that have deep creases

Okay I do not know why this mascara does not have 10 stars!! this is by far the best drugstore mascara I have ever purchased. it is also the only mascara i have repurchased. first of all the price is reasonable. compared to high end mascara i do not mind paying sometimes almost $10 on this mascara, depending on a sale or where i buy it from i've bought it for at the least $5. I would never buy high end mascara because i switch them out too often to pay that much for one. Also i do not need a high end mascara when i have this one. My lashes are fairly long but thin and there aren't as many and i would like. this mascara adds extra length to them and volume. Also they look so thick and long everyone thinks im wearing fake lashes. I apply about 3 coats to get this effect. I also focus on the root of my eyelashes and wiggle it in there so the base of my lashes are nice and full. A downside to this mascara would be that it is very easy to get clumps with, especially when it is brand new and the formula is super wet. I am just sure to be careful and wipe off excess mascara back in the tube before applying. then on maybe the third coat i wont wipe off excess and it doesn't clump on my lashes. i highly recommend this mascara to everyone.

I bought this at Marshall's for $7.99. I initially wanted it because my friend used to use it and she always loved it. plus the price was much lower than full price so i didnt feel like i was spending too much. I used this with the same conditioner and i immediately noticed a difference after my first use. My hair was much softer and silkier to touch. I don't know that it gave me much "body" or thickened my hair at all. I would have to use it a few more times consistently to see. I think it smells good. I probably would only buy it again if I found it for the same price. I don't see the point of spending $15+ on a not very big bottle of shampoo/conditioner. No matter what kind of miracle it would provide to my hair lol

I think this was the first UD palette I bought. I was looking around in Sephora and decided to spoil myself. I absolutely fell in love with the colors. I love doing bright looks so this was a must for me. I compared a few different palettes but this one was a must. The color pigmentation is amazing and I use every color in here- not altogether haha. The brush is small for like an all over lid brush but I do like to kind of mirror the look on top to my bottom lashline so this brush works great for that. The only thing that I do not like is the packaging. When I have it open I feel like the top is just in my way and not to mention the bottom portion became entirely unglued- which i think should be unacceptable for such a high end product. BUT i will deal with it and just reglue the bottom because i love it so much!

I had previously purchased the set of ELF brushes like a LONG time ago and since and repurchased some and purchased new ones- like this one. First of all... $1!? I'm all over it. I absolutely love this brush. It picks up shadow great and i can blend very easily with it. I use it for exactly what it is named- to define my crease. I use it mostly to deposit color on my outer "V" then blend it into my crease. I feel like this brush is the perfect size for doing so and really helps to define the crease instead of having a more blended look-but that can be done as well. I like the length of it and the hair is soft. I don't think I have any problem with this brush at all! All though recently I bought a second at Target I believe and it was kind of jacked up lol so check it out before purchasing- although it is only $1:)

I an NOT one to spend a lot on a liner. This one I actually received with my Stila In The Light palette. And I was so happy I did. I've always thought eyeliner was not that big of a deal to spend a lot of cash on- probably because I mostly line only my top eyelid and bottom eye lid on the outer- never water line.. But seriously I would purchase this product over and over again. I'm not sure the name of the color I have it in but its a super dark brown almost black. It's so nice and creamy it glides on very nicely. I usually like to line my eyelid then use a smudger brush and blend the edges a little- but i work pretty fast before it dries- then ill add a bit more in the places I want more definition. It absolutely stays put. The only thing I don't like is that because it glides on SO easily if I mess up- I'm screwed haha so I use very small strokes to prevent from doing so.

This is probably my favorite product to use as an eyeshadow base! First of all let's just get the price out of the way.. amazing for so much product- a little goes a long way! The pigmentation is awesome. The color range is fantastic, I own about 10 of them but want them all! I love to use these as a base for my shadows which just intensifies the look. I think I had used this mint green eyeshadow alone and it was pretty- but I used a similar color Jumbo Eye Pencil (sorry I forgot the name!) as a base to the same eyeshadow and was amazed at how much brighter and pigmented it made the shadow look! The texture is nice and creamy. You want to be sure to blend out the edges though because then if you but a shadow over you'll see a harsh line where you don't have the jumbo pencil. I find it's easier to blend out with your finger, because of the warmth, than to try to use a brush with shadow already on it. The only thing that I don't like about this product is it's packaging. They are a bit difficult to sharpen and you lose product when you do! BUT I plan to de-pot mine which solves that problem, and i absolutely don't mind having to do so :)

I used to always buy drugstore foundations and then I got into higher end brands but then I was like I do not want to use my $40 foundation everyday! So I wanted to go out and find a drugstore foundation that worked for me. I did some research and heard really great reviews on this so I went to my nearest ULTA and matched myself. I think the color selection is pretty nice, I found a color that matched me to the T. The price is definitely a benefit! Plus, I love mostly all NYX Cosmetics so I was definitely down to try this out. I would say it is a medium coverage foundation but can be built up for a fuller coverage. I tend not to build it up because I use it mostly for work during the week and I don't mind light blemishes showing though. I have no problems creasing or the color wearing off (I do use a primer and have not tried it without). It's a very smooth consistency and doesn't look "cakey". Overall for the price and quality, it is definitely worth a try!
