I picked some of these up the other day at Walgreens for about $2 each. Most people think that when it comes to makeup, you get what you pay for. I like to think that these lipsticks are a nice exception to that. These lipsticks are a really great quality to me. Seeing as they are matte and long wear lipsticks, they are dry. They don't exactly glide onto your lips, but they don't pull at them either. I also find that these lipsticks are extremely pigmented and buildable. You can apply it lightly if you want that "tinted lip balm" look or you can apply it with pressure to get the full pigment and of course everything in between. My favorite shade is Cherry Bomb. It's a dark wine color. The pigmentation is really good. If you're not afraid to try bold colors, I suggest that you pick it up. Overall these lipsticks are a good bang for your buck. I definitely recommend these.

I bought one the other day in a really pretty purple pink color called "Move On Mauve". The color is what attracted me to the polish so I picked it up. I was surprised at how smoothly it applied onto my nails. It was not streaky or bubbly. It just gave a smooth, even coloring. I was also surprised at how quick it dried. The bottle claims that the polish dries in 60 seconds, but I think it takes a little bit longer than that especially if you apply two or more coats which is what I had to do since the shade I picked was kind of sheer. I would say that it took around 2 to 3 minutes for the polish to completely dry which is pretty fast compared to some of the other polishes I own. The only negative thing I can really think about with this polish is the fact that it peels really easily. I accidentally scraped my nail against another object, and the polish started to peel off just like those fake nail polishes for children do. I also have a tendency to pick at my nails and I picked at the peeled one. It just kept peeling off as if it were a sticker. Of course, that part is my fault but my other polishes usually have some type of resistance and put up a fight. Not this one! All in all though, I think these are good polishes and I probably will pick some more up considering how large and beautiful the color selection is. I would definitely recommend these to a friend.

I bought two of these the other day. The first is a really pretty bright, hot pink color called "In Vogue". The second is a more natural looking shade called "Leading Lady". I absolutely love these lip glosses! They are not sticky, do not smell bad, and do not taste gross. When I first used these, I was surprised when I discovered that the applicator is a brush rather than the traditional sponge. I don't mind too much, except it becomes an issue when the brush picks up too much gloss which it has a tendency to do. It helps to wipe some off on the inside of the bottle before you put it on otherwise you'll have too much gloss on your lips and it will look really messy. I love the little sparkles that these glosses have. It's not overbearing nor is it too subtle. It's right in the middle. I also like the fact that after the main gloss has worn off, you get a pretty color similar to that of the gloss left behind on your lips. It's almost like it stains your lips that color so that even if your gloss wears off your lips still have a pretty pigment to them. All of the above are the reasons why I love this gloss. So happy I picked it up! I would definitely recommend these. :)

These lipsticks are very nice. I bought one in a very pretty hot pink slash fushia color. The texture of this lipstick is amazing! It is not a lip balm or one of those lip balm hybrid products mind you, but my lips do feel soft and creamy after applying just like the lipstick. Like most lipsticks though, this will highlight any and all dry patches you may have on your lips so my tip would be to remember to take care of those before applying! If your lips are moisturized though, you are good to go. ;) The staying power of this lipstick isn't that great. For me it always lasts between two to three hours so if you are wearing this to work or something you will have to reapply throughout your day. Overall though it is a really nice product that comes in many beautiful colors and does its job well. I do recommend these!

This mascara is really nice in my opinion. It's not the best, but it is nice. It does volumize my lashes a bit, but I feel like the main focus with this mascara is to lengthen the lashes which it does really well. I get the long, dark lashes that I want, but it still looks really natural. It doesn't look scary long or like spider legs haha! The thing about this mascara though is that it is water resistant. Not water proof, but water resistant. This means that if you accidentally tough your eye, or get caught in a drop or two of rain or something along those lines, you'll probably be ok. If someone dumps water on your face, then yes this mascara will run. If you want a waterproof mascara, I am pretty sure they have a waterproof version of this. I just thought that I would clear that up a little. I would recommend this mascara though. Just make sure you understand the label! ;)

I have one of these blushes and I love it! I don't remember the name of the shade, but it is a nice pink color. It is very close to the color that my cheeks turn when I blush so it looks pretty natural. I love how wearing this can instantly make me look alive. Although there is definite fading throughout the day, it could just be my oily skin. It's still a great product with high quality. The color picks up on your brush easily and glides onto your face. It's really good for a drugstore brand! I definitely recommend this blush.

I have two of these and they are awesome! This is probably my favorite eyeliner. The colors are bright and super pretty. The texture of the liner is super creamy too so it goes on smooth. It doesn't tug on your eyes as you put them on like many liners like to do. Like other pencil liners, they can smear a bit if you're not careful. Most of the time though it looks great. If you haven't tried them already I would definitely recommend that you do!

I sometimes have an issue with my eye shadow fading away as the day goes on. I started using this, and my eye shadow stays on the whole day and longer! I can have long lasting eye makeup for only a dollar. I highly recommend this!

These eye shadows go on super smooth and pigmented. They come in many different colors and the eye shadows teach you how to put it on so it's hard to mess up. It always looks good!

I have one in black and one in purple. They are awesome! They glide on super easy and they are retractable so you don't have to worry about sharpening them. They're really pigmented too. A great buy!
