    bareMinerals Angled Blush Brush

    BE Angled Blush Brush

    I have more than one of this particular brush and I love it. It's great at applying blush exactly where it's supposed to be applied- directly on the apples of the cheeks with a great angle to apply it along the cheekbone with ease. I have very high cheekbones to begin with, and this brush works so well in helping me define them with blush, as well as highlighter. I agree with the other review in regard to shedding, which unfortunately happens with every natural hair make-up brush I own, but this is still worth every penny. It washes well, is always super soft, and it doesn't irritate my skin or make me breakout. I've been using BE/BM brushes for a very long time and I've only had to replace one in that entire time, so these brushes will absolutely last so long as you take care of them.

  • Bare Escentuals Soft Focus Shadow & Liner Brush

    I love this brush. The shadow side is truly one of the softest brushes you will ever use. The liner side is super gentle, easy to use, and provides you with smooth application of any Bare Minerals liner or shadow. I often use a shadow color as liner, and with this brush it makes it very easy to do. If you wet the brush first, before dipping it into a small amount of color, it will soften the lines up and be less severe. However, you can also smudge with your finger if that's how you normally apply liner. Anything goes and this brush is worth every cent. Look for it on Ebay to save money.

  • bareMinerals Round the Clock Waterproof Eyeliner

    I got two of these in a set and since I was on auto-delivery, I have continued to receive two in a set every few months. The first one I tried was a gorgeous shade of midnight blue. However, the application was chalky, uneven, and the actual liner itself is just too dry to get a good line out of it, and sharpening it does not help in any way. A lot of the reviews for this liner aren't very positive on other sites, and there's obviously a reason for that. Most of them are sayin the same things I'm saying, and they actually gave the liner more effort than I did. I don't know if the formula has gotten better in the year or so since it's been out, but I'm sticking with the Big & Bright liner for now which does exactly what I want it to. I would never willingly buy this product on its own, that's for sure!!

  • Mary Kay TimeWise Repair Eye Renewal Cream

    I received this from Total Beauty to use and review. When it arrived I'd completely forgotten I'd agreed to using it, but I started right away since I was already between products and had not commtted to anything else. This is probably the best eye cream I've ever used, and I feel like finding the right one is hard. I love the applicator tip. It's cooling and gentle (especially after a long day and as a contact lens wearer as well), and yes, even though I'm "trained" to apply it differently, I went with it. I'm only using this product at night because it's SO moisturizing that using it in the morning is a waste of product. With that said, I feel like my skin is improved through using this. I will purchase this when I run out and for me, I never thought Mary Kay would ever put out a product I loved more than Satin Hands, but they have indeed done it. I don't have fine lines or dark circles, so I cannot attest to how it works in regard to those issues, but I feel like this is a GREAT preventative measure and while it's more expensive than what I might normally use, it's worth it. .

  • Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo

    I got this in a New Beauty Test Tube. I LOVE it. It smells so nice and clean (think, fresh citrus) and definitely helps you extend the time between washings, though I don't like to go too long since product build-up isn't pretty. All in all, this is a slightly higher quality dry shampoo, but I'm not convinced that they aren't all the same to some extent.

  • Benefit California Kissin' Lip Shine

    I purchased this product very inexpensively and I have to agree with another reviewer when she said it was too blue on fair skin. It absolutely is. Beyond that, it's just another sparkly lip gloss and while it is minty, there are plenty of other minty lip glosses from Bath & Body Works & Victoria's Secret that will look a lot better when applied.

  • Curel Hand & Cuticle Therapy Cream

    I'm forever in search of the perfect hand cream. I purchased this product about two years ago when my usual brand was out of stock. I've been a repeat customer ever since. This isn't a super fabulous lotion to use during the winter months, especially if your hands start to become "winter skin", but this is great the rest of the year and I like that it's nourishing my cuticles since I don't always have Argan Oil on hand when I'm applying lotion. This is an inexpensive, extremely decent solution to hands that cannot seem to get enough moisture. I would love one that was a bit thicker for night-time though, as I'd like a little more in the deep moisturization category.

  • Victoria's Secret Pink Eau de Parfum Spray

    When this first came out I was in love with it. It is one of the sexiest scents, but I can no longer wear it because it can become a bit cloying if you suffer from migraines and are sensitive to fragrance. I do still think it's a nice one to wear though. It always reminds me of summer. =)

  • Philosophy Amazing Grace Spray Fragrance

    This is one of those fragrances that is on my list of things I will NEVER use. I'm not sure why, but it smells a bit Grandma-ish to me. People always say it's a fresh & clean fragrance, but I don't perceive it that way. I'm a big fan of Pure Grace, Baby Grace, Inner Grace, and Summer Grace, but this is one I cannot wear. I can't stand to be in the same room with a person that has it on either.

  • Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation SPF 30

    Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation SPF 30

    No Foundation is simply a huge NO!

    I like the idea of this product, but I was absolutely horrified when I saw how dark it is right out of the bottle. For extremely fair-skinned women, this is not the product you want on your face. You will absolutely look like you're wearing a mask. Thankfully, I got this in a Perricone MD trial kit with several other products (The Face Finishing Moisturizer is AMAZING!), otherwise I wouldn't have kept it. I tried it on the back of my hand and it was still about 20 shades too dark. Even just a tiny amount would have been a disaster on my face. Had to take a huge pass on this product. If you're thinking about trying it, don't believe the "one color suits all" nonsense for a single second because I assure you, that is not the truth. .
