  • Tarte emphasEYES Waterproof Amazonian Clay Brow Mousse

    I've tried this for about a week and I don't know why everyone says this is waterproof and stayed on all day. I swatched it on my hand and just rubbing it removed it already so I can already tell how it will fare in water. This did not even outperform my NYX and Ardell brow pomade. It also fades throughout the day so how is this waterproof again? However, I do agree that a little bit goes a long way. I use the brush that comes with this and I've barely made a dent in it. I swear it still looks like new. The product is smooth and creamy but also very hard since I've used a more stiffer angled brush to break the top and the product will not make a dent in it. I like how thin the brush is that comes with this but I wish it was a little stiffer. It's too flimsy for my taste and the width is too wide. I wish it was a little smaller just so I can create a thinner brow where my brow starts. Wish I loved this as much as everyone else but I just don't get it. Possible dud???

  • Tarte EmphasEYES™ For Brows High Definition Eyebrow Pencil

    This is so easy to use. I've tried many skinny brow pencils like this (although I have yet to try the Anastasia Brow Wiz that everyone raves about). I love how this makes my brows look super natural and the formula is really smooth, creamy, and pigmented that it actually shows up where I marked it. Sometimes brow pencils are a harder formula where it takes a while for the color to show up. Not with this one. One go and I'm good. This also lasted me the whole day without fading. The only thing I wish I can change about this brow pencil is that Tarte needs to offer more colors. There's only three colors of these brow pencils and although I got it in the color Medium Brown, I wish it was a tad lighter since it's the same color as my hair color. The next shade down was either too light or the next shade up was too dark. Tarte needs to come up with a better array of colors especially in their brow department.

  • Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick

    Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick

    Really creamy and smooth....

    Don't know what makes these "HD." Might just be for branding purposes. This lipstick didn't leave me too impressed when I first used it but after using it for a while now I love the way that it feels on my lips. I got this in the shade Magnolia since it looked like a color that wouldn't be too bright but looks like a perfect brown coral nude. These lipsticks aren't really pigmented but it's not too sheer either. I like how it doesn't apply patchy. It stays moisturizing for a good hour or so but leaves my lips dry once it rubs off. There's a good slip to it but I wish the texture was more cushiony. Just feels like oil on my lips. This has a cherry smell to it that smells kind of medicinal like Children's Tylenol but the smell doesn't bother me. This tastes really sweet so if you don't like sweet or cherry smelling lipsticks, these aren't for you.

  • Neutrogena Ultra Light Cleansing Oil

    Compared to the Garnier Cleansing Oil, this washes off completely so I don't have to follow up with my daily cleanser. It's not too heavy and leaves my skin soft and moisturized afterwards. It is ultra light as the name mentioned so don't expect it to get rid of your most stubborn eye makeup but it does wonders for your normal non-waterproof makeup. I've never been a fan of Neutrogena products because they break me out but lately I've tried 2 of their products including this and I'm surprised to see that neither of them broke me out. Either way, I love this and will continue using. The only thing is it stings my eyes if I'm trying to remove my eye makeup.

  • Tarte Tinted Brow Gel
    2.0

    Tarte Tinted Brow Gel

    Doesn't do anything....

    I love the tiny brush on this because it really helps to get every hair and I've never seen anything quite like it. NikkieTuturials love this and she recommended it for people with super sparse brows. However, I felt that this did not do anything for my brows. The tint in here is so subtle that I can't even tell that I have something on. I prefer the Benefit Gimme Brow over this any day. It does not hold my eyebrows in place nor did it give it any color at all. Even though I got this for 45% off because I'm an Ulta employee, it's not worth the $12 I paid for.

  • Aveeno Skin Relief 24-Hour Moisturizing Lotion

    I already know I love the jar version of this lotion with the blue label for my son's eczema but I wanted something in a pump that's going to be more sanitary. This isn't as hydrating as that one or quite as heavy but I love it for that reason. I can still put on my clothes afterwards without that uncomfortable sticky feeling. Love how this is unscented and not heavily fragranced. I have bad eczema during the winter around my knees and elbow. By day two of rubbing this stuff on my knee and elbow, my eczema disappeared! Truly a miracle in a bottle! Aveeno, you have never disappointed me with your lotions at all! Keep up with the great products.

  • Maybelline New York Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation

    I was expecting this to be a matte foundation and even though it's not super matte it's not super dewy either. It has more of a satin finish which is good since it doesn't make my face look flat. I also noticed that my pores does indeed look smaller with this on. It has a good light to medium coverage and definitely buildable. I did notice this to oxidize just a tad bit orange but I feel like that's normal especially for drugstore foundations. This is a good foundation and kept my oil at bay for a bit but not a long-wearing foundation.

  • Philosophy Ultimate Miracle Worker Multi-Rejuvenating Cream SPF 30

    I like my moisturizer to feel hydrating but light. This was kind of too greasy and heavy for me like it never absorbs into the skin. It feels like it just sits on top of my skin. I have oily skin so not a fit for me. Might work for someone with more dry skin.

  • Murad Advanced Active Radiance Serum

    Got this as a deluxe sample from Ulta and to be honest I can't really tell a difference. I like the gel texture and how it absorbs super fast. It does brighten the face a little bit but maybe if I continue using it I would have noticed more of a difference but my deluxe sample only lasted me one week. I've had my go with a lot of serums before and even though I feel like they're a wasted step, this might be good for people with dry skin to layer under their moisturizer.

  • Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer

    I have tried a lot of concealers before and I hate how this one is so heavy and greasy. I love that it's full coverage but with all Tarte cream and liquid products, I feel like it never sets. It moves around so I don't know why this would be called "creaseless" since it does crease a little since it's quite greasy. I like my concealers to set or at least have a satiny feel which this didn't. Definitely returning even though I got it for 45% off since I work at Ulta.
