I got this in the color Innuendo when Ulta was having their buy 1 get 1 free sale on Honeybee Gardens cosmetics. Unlike the reviewer pixie_dust, I didn't find this to be matte at all. It was more of a glossy satin finish lipstick for me. This is a sheer lipstick so don't expect too much color. I didn't really mind that because this color is a really nice pinky-beige nude color that doesn't wash me out at all. The weird thing about this lipstick is that it's not too drying on the lips but when I first used it, it was drying to the point of it tugging on my lips and the bullet broke off. But the worst part about this lipstick for me is the smell and taste so I don't reach for it often. It smells really herby and tastes like some kind of herb medicine. Now I know that Honeybee Gardens is an all natural cosmetics company but come on! It doesn't have to taste and smell like it too.

This smells like cotton candy. For me personally, I like how this doesn't give too much of a tint but others might not like this if they want more color. The tint is really subtle which I don't mind because I don't want my lips to look too berry colored when I layer this. I love how this isn't as sticky as their regular Lipsurgence lip gloss but gives a nice shine. It is kind of goopy when the wand is pulled out of the tube like melted sugar. My lips have that nice ombre effect every time I put this on if you're into that kind of thing.

I enjoyed the formula on this even though it is a tad clumpy but in a good way, not a bad way. It gives me that nice rocker chick look. I don't find the brush to flex too much on me but I could do without it. The Christmas tree shape of the brush is hard to control and very annoying. It also does not apply evenly with one swipe. I need at least multiple coats just to make my lashes look good. Love the formula on this, just not the application. It doesn't flake or smudge. This is supposed to volumize my lashes and it really does. I got this in the limited edition color Purple Pop and I really wish L'oreal would have made it more purple. I could hardly tell the color was purple on my lashes. It just looked black with a hint of blue.

Super intense bright colors. I wasn't too sure if I would like this but after receiving a sample of this in the color Scandal which is a bright magenta pink color, I kinda like it. These are the colors I would not reach for but for some reason, it just works and is very flattering for my NC25 Asian skin tone. The formula on this is really smooth and not at all sticky. I like how it's unscented. After the glossiness fades away, there's still some color left on my lips. Very long lasting.

I received a free sample of this in the color Love. It has a nice sheer mauvey-rose color that goes perfectly with every look I create. It's not sticky or tacky at all. Does feel kind of oily but it keeps my lips super moisturized. Don't know if it's supposed to anti-age my lips like what it claims to do. I mean how can anyone tell. As far as I'm concerned everyone has wrinkles in their lips, right? Anyways, this smells really yummy like vanilla or cookies and doesn't taste bad either.

I have been on the hunt for a good brow gel and so far none have seem to cut it. My brows always wants to droop down. I've always wanted to try this but didn't want to hash out $20 for a brow gel. I was lucky enough that Sephora had samples of this at the time of my transaction. So far, I am really impressed. It does what it's supposed to do and keeps my brows in place all day! No joke! This stuff is really potent. Not too fond of the smell. It smells really medicinal like a hospital. It does an amazing job of prolonging whatever brow product I have underneath of this in heat and humidity. The consistency of this gel is not like any other brow gels I have used before. This is not gel-like or goopy at all. It feels more like a serum so I was hesitant if it would truly hold my brows in place. Boy, was I wrong. It does leave the brows kind of crunchy but I don't mind it since my brows don't stray everywhere like with other brow gels.

I never knew a blush could make such a difference. Normally, I'm scared to purchase an expensive blush because I feel they all work the same. Not true at all. This is the longest lasting blush I've ever used up to date. The colors in this line are wonderful and blends beautifully. It does not look like I have blush on. It looks really natural. These are kind of pricey but are they worth the price? Eh, not really. I still think they could be comparable to drugstore blushes but just not as long lasting. But for me I don't mind reapplying unless I'm going to an event that I wouldn't have time to touch up.

I've been using my Seche Vite top coat and after getting so tired of it getting goopy on me I decided to toss it out and go on to better things. I typed in Fast Dry Top Coat on Ulta and I stumbled upon this due to its many great reviews. I absolutely love this! Behold, it doesn't get goopy and it dries super fast. I am so amazed! This nail polish claims to dry in 30 seconds and I can totally concur. I love the staying power of this and it makes my nail polishes that usually chips on me last extra long. Would totally buy again when I run out. Great job Sally Hansen!

This is the MOST pigmented nail polish I've ever tried! I don't normally buy Michael Kors products because as we all know they are super pricey. I was fortunate enough to get a free deluxe sample of this and his lip gloss with a $50 Ulta purchase online. I have this in a dark brown color and it is ridiculously opaque that it looks black. One coat of this is more than enough. I love how the brush is stiffer so it's more easier to control and I don't have to worry about it flexing outside my nail bed. Love how the color goes on so smooth and even. I don't have to worry about tackiness. It takes about 15 minutes to dry and when I felt it to see if it dried yet, my fingerprint was imprinted on my nail. As soon as this dried completely, my fingerprint was gone. I've never had a nail polish do this to me before! Overall, very impressed but I wouldn't be too sure if I would buy another color because of the $18 price point on this.

I got this as soon as it was on sale at Ulta. This foundation claims to be a medium to full coverage but I found it to be only light to medium. I applied two layers of this and I don't want to go more or else it will feel too heavy. Love that it has a pump and it's yellow based! Not easy to find when it's drugstore foundations so I would prefer going high-end when it comes to foundation. It's not too thick or too watery. It oxidizes a little bit but not too bad. I got this in PR3 Light Beige and when first applied, it was a little too light for my NC25 skin tone but after a while of settling, it meshed a little bit better into my skin. The packaging feels really sturdy but breakable if you know what I mean. It is really heavy so I'm afraid if I drop it, it will crack or chip off. I swear my purse feels like it's 5 pounds heavier with this in it so this is not really travel-friendly at all. Because of the SPF in this, it will leave a white cast in flash photography. I've tested that out. This foundation is marketed for all skin types including oily/combination skin like mine and I beg to differ. It has a dewy finish and not oil controlling at all. I hate how this has a sticky feel and always feel like it never sets. Even with the Lorac baked powder on top of this, I still looked like a greaseball within an hour. It also doesn't last long and transfers easily. For a $30 foundation, I was expecting more.
