I love Sonia Kashuk brushes because they're really great quality although they are pretty expensive. This is super soft and the perfect denseness if I wanted to buff in my foundation or powder to get that airbrush look. I like how unlike other round foundation brushes I've used before, this feathers out more so I can get more ground covered on my face. I love how the synthetic bristles don't absorb a lot of my product especially my foundation. I use this brush daily and I cannot say enough about it.

Love how I can mix and match to customize the right concealer shade. The green shade is perfect to hide the redness around my nose and I like how the concealer is a little more peachy so it neutralizes my dark circles. It is creamy and smooth without feeling oily and doesn't crease. This has a dryer formula which is perfect for my oily skin. It goes on as cream but dries to powder perfection. I just don't really like the setting powder that comes with it. When I use it to set my undereye area, it leaves a white cast below my eyes, making them look really unnatural. I, however, still prefer to use a liquid concealer verses a stick or palette form like this. But other than that, this has great coverage for a cream concealer.

Reasonable price for the quality although some people might not shell out more than 5 bucks for nail polish. This polish is so pigmented and applies so evenly with one coat that I didn't even need to paint a second time. Looks exactly like gel polish and has great staying power without chipping at all. This is definitely the longest lasting nail polish I have tried up to date. I went a week before chipping. I love how it doesn't get goopy or tacky if I go back to fix mistakes. The only gripe I have is that you have to wait a while before it dries. I was an OPI fanatic but now I'm in love with this brand too. Will definitely try more colors.

I love how this highlighter is a dryer cream formula and not like those greasy sticky mess. This is a very subtle highlighter compared to the Becca one. The champagne shade is very flattering on all skin tones. It is not glittery at all and has fine shimmer. This blends seamlessly with the warmth of my finger. However, it didn't last as long as I would've liked.

Tati on Youtube raved about this and after seeing how airbrushed her skin looked I had to try it! This is pretty pricey but the bottle does last fairly long since you only need drops to mix into your moisturizer or other foundations. I don't think the packaging is realistic though since it's glass and how are we suppose to get every ounce of product out when we're going to run out. The bottle can get quite messy if you're not careful. My skin has never looked so smooth and airbrushed before. This gave me great coverage without making my face feel heavy since this is really watery. It lasted all day and didn't look blotchy or patchy like other foundations I've tried at the end of the day.

My feelings are pretty neutral about this. At least I didn't pay for this and instead I got it as a free gift for my birthday at Sephora. The color they offered is Rikugien. It's a light pinky rose shade. I don't know why Nars calls this a "satin" lip pencil because the color is anything but satin. It has a sheer glossy almost frosty finish that I do not like. It has a lot of shimmer in this and I hate frosty looking lips. This lip pencil is more moisturizing than their matte pencils but it doesn't last as long as that one. It feels nice and barely detectable on the lips but I wouldn't repurchase.

I got this free as a birthday gift from Sephora. I'm not a big fan of red lipstick but the Cruella color is wearable enough without looking too vampy. It makes me feel like a movie star. The crayon glides on smoothly and it's super pigmented. It has such amazing staying power even after I eat. There's still a decent amount left on my lips and it doesn't transfer too bad. The color is a velvet matte color hence the name. It's drying like most matte lipsticks but this one isn't too bad. It still has some slip to it but not too glossy, so you can definitely apply the color lightly on your cheeks for a healthy glow that'll last without the shine. I like this so far but I wouldn't buy it with my own money because it is quite expensive for a lip pencil.

I've never been attracted to this brand because most of Laura Geller's products are baked and I hate baked products from all my experiences with them. Baked products in my opinion have no pigmentation and staying power whatsoever. This product was a little bit better than other baked products I've tried. This doesn't have a lot of fallout which is a pro if you don't like that sort of thing but with that comes little to no pigmentation. The good thing about this is that the color's buildable. You can get the blush as light or as intense as you would like. I actually don't mind powdery products because I find they have better pigmentation. I got this as a free sample in Catalina and it was alright. It showed up a little bit on my light skin as long as I keep building the product but it faded pretty quickly. First product I've tried from Laura Geller and I'm not that impressed. I wanted to try their eyeshadows because of good reviews on Ulta but now I'm not sure if all her powders live up to this standard only.

Found this on clearance at Wal-mart and when it was labeled Self beauty winner, I knew I had to try it. Usually I'm not too picky about body wash because to be honest, I feel like they all work the same. This is the first body wash I've used that with only a little product, it gets really soapy and sudsy right away--just the way I like it. Not sure if it does much "peeling" but I love the scent and how the product is not water downed like other body washes that you need a ton to get it soapy.

This mascara lengthens perfectly. I love how this doesn't smudge or clump my lashes but the brush is just horrible. It kind of reminds me of the Benefit They're Real mascara. Its super spaced apart and spiky that I poke my eyes every time I use it. The fibers in this are not fine either. They poke too much and fall into my eyes. Very uncomfortable and my eye makeup look always end up ruined.
