This mascara is pretty good but not my favorite. What I love about this is it is very easy to remove yet it does not flake or smudge. It just stays put. The thing that made it not my favorite is it makes my lashes stick together a bit, making it look a tad unnatural. This is my go to for everyday purposes but when it comes to lengthening for more dramatic looks it does not seem any better than L'oreal's Lash Out mascara.

This worked pretty well for me at first but I think the formula dried out a bit. Now it has a house paint like texture and flakes off a bit. It does last several hours but I won't bother with another one because of the flaking. This was one of the best ones I've tried so far. Oh well.

I actually had a hard time matching my skin tone with this foundation. The first one was a little too dark for me and the one I use now looks slightly off as well, a little too orangey almost and I picked a cool tone. It does have pretty good coverage and goes on smoothly, To me it is just a regular liquid foundation. I'm just not in love with it.

I had never tried a mineral powder before but I realize its not for me. I have oily skin but also some dry patches. If I try to build it up it begins to look a little thick, and it seems hard to blend at times. At the end of the day I start to get an uncomfortable "tight" feeling to my skin. Probably will work for others well though.

I tried this to compare it to CoverGirl's AquaSmooth compact but did not like it as much. It feels a little cakey and is more prone to show my dry patches. It does have a smooth cream to powder texture thats nice. I will use this up but it isn't one of my favorites.

These go on smooth and the colors are always rich. They have a matte finish with a tiny bit of shine and the ones that have shimmer are subtle. The only negative is that the lipsticks dry out a little. They have a huge range of colors to choose from. One of my favorites is Sea Fleur, it looks like a crazy fuchsia in the tube but goes on lighter. These are one of my favorite lipsticks.

L'Oreal Paris Studio Secrets Professional Eye Shadow Single
Many colors and finishes to choose from.
I have a couple of these and really like them. I use some of the perle kinds like Plum Royale and Glistening Seas, so I'm not sure how well the Matte and the Rich versions work. They have a pretty wide range of colors and finishes to choose from. They are great for highlights, liners, or all over the lid colors. The color goes on smooth and lasts pretty long, with the L'oreal Decrease primer I make them last all day.

I got this after I couldn't find the Nivea Toner and I only use ones with no alcohol. I use this in the morning as a light cleanser for my skin before I put my moisturizer on. It does not minimize pores but I just don't expect any product to. This cleanses away any last bits of make up and night cream without drying my skin out. My only complaint is that the bottle has a wide mouth (unlike my previous Nivea toner) and I have knocked it over twice, thus making my bottle only half full now. I also end up using more than I need because it is difficult to control how much you pour out. Great product, not so great bottle.

I have this in the waterproof version. This is great mascara but it seems like it does the same thing L'oreal Waterproof Voluminous does. It lengthens and makes your lashes soft and full. The formula is a bit thick and becomes a little dry after awhile but still doesn't clump or flake on me. Overall this is an underestimated mascara that more people should try out.

I have this lipgloss in Candy Apple and Melon Punch and both are great colors. They are highly pigmented glossy colors, Melon Punch has sparkle to it while Candy Apple does not. This gloss isn't too sticky and does have a more sophisticated feel from what a teenager might wear. The smell is a subtle "juicy" scent which I like. It lasts maybe an hour before you have a bit of fading. My only gripe is that I don't like the applicator on this. I end up using my fingers to put it on and I don't like the idea of doing that as a quick touch up if I can't wash my hands first. Other than that its a great glossy lipcolor!
