I actually prefer this over the Seche Vite top coat since it's easier to apply in thin coats and didn't get as goopy. This dries super fast and prevents my nails from yellowing as it states. I don't know how base coats are really suppose to work since it's underneath the polish and it's hard to tell how it performs but I love the shiny finish on this when used alone. This base coat lived up to all my expectations because it dried super fast and I don't have the patience to wait for my nails to dry.

A lot of people seem to rave about this so I decided to give it a shot. I'm not much of a nail manicure person so I didn't think nail polishes would make a difference but after trying different brands I can now spot the difference. This nail polish would be a 10 for me if it didn't get all goopy and apply super thick. It left these strings of dried polish behind if you know what I mean. Very annoying. A lot of people said this top coat would do that and I experienced it firsthand. I love how this dries SUPER fast. I was amazed at how fast it dried. I love the shiny finish on this and how it keeps my nail polish chip-free. I do prefer the Seche Clear base coat more since I find that that didn't get as goopy as the top coat. It has a thinner consistency.

I don't know why people didn't really like this product but love the butter glosses instead. I feel like the formulation of this is so similar without the same cupcake scent like the butter glosses. This is highly pigmented and the colors look way different on Ulta website. It's not creamy like the matte lip creams but very buttery and smooth. I think this is just not as cushiony as the butter glosses. It's a little bit more oily and slick. And plus there needs to be better colors! I got this in Buttery Nude and it is not a nude color at all. Very reddish brown. Nude Peach Fuzz and Natural are very chalky and pastel clownish-looking. Not flattering at all! I just wish I can find a shade I like and that's why dock 4 stars.

I got this in Jet Black. I really like how this liner is the perfect amount of smoothness without it slipping too much like the Milani Liquif-eye when I'm applying. It's perfect for on the go when I'm in the passenger seat applying eyeliner. It's not as intensifying as the Milani black eyeliner but it stays put all day without smudging on me. I was impressed that it didn't even run or smudge on my waterline. Plus it's easy to remove with my daily cleanser and eye makeup remover.

This foundation is not good for the summer since I have oily skin. It has more of a luminous finish and I do quite like it but I need to set this with a powder or else I will look shiny. This foundation is also really lightweight and doesn't feel heavy but can be a little sticky. It doesn't oxidize as bad as Revlon foundations but it lasted only a couple of hours for me before it started to fade and the redness of my nose and hyper-pigmentation started to seep through. This has a light to medium coverage only.

I got this in W3 which is suppose to be for warm skin tones but I can't find a good match. W4 is too dark for me and W2 is also too light. W3 would be perfect if it really was a yellow undertone but I found it to be more peachy than yellow. It definitely has more of a cooler undertone. Totally a misconception! I love how this easily comes out of the bottle even though there's no pump and the foundation dries to a powder finish but with that being said, after it dries it can look cakey. There's definitely no need for setting powder. It held up pretty well without making me look like a greaseball although when I applied this, my eyes started to burn. I don't know if it's the fragrance or fumes in this. I've heard great things about this product but L'oreal needs to get it together with the correct shade undertones. It does oxidize a tad bit but at least it doesn't oxidize orange which I find in a lot of drugstore foundations.

I was hoping for a dupe for Anastasia brow gel that everyone raves about. EmilyNoel on Youtube recommended this to hold brows in place all day but I found the consistency of this really watery and didn't hold my brows in place as promised. It stayed in place for a good couple of minutes before straying all over the place. It also didn't dry fast so if I wanted to layer powder on top of this I have to wait a while before it dries. NYX usually doesn't disappoint but this product was just a fail.

This only comes in 2 colors: brown beige and blonde beige. I got this in brown beige. Usually I like my eyebrows a little darker because I do more smoky eye looks and would like my eyebrows darker to match it. This pencil is only good for days I want to go lighter and more natural on my makeup. It has a waxy consistency but not enough to hold my brows in place. It fades throughout the day after a couple of hours. I don't like how it applies kind of patchy on the brows. I didn't realize this has a sharpener on the end until other reviewers pointed that out. I'm okay with this but it's not waterproof like what PF claims.

I love this even more than the Anastasia brow promade. It's super smooth and creamy without drying out. I also own the NYX eyebrow gel and I find that this isn't as waterproof but the good thing is it doesn't dry as fast as the brow gel so it's easier to work with. I got this in the color Chocolate and should have gotten Brunette instead since Chocolate has a red undertone which makes my brows look unnatural. I will exchange it at Ulta soon. NYX is starting to become my favorite drugstore brand because of all these innovations and dupes of high-end competitors.

This is really similar to the Anastasia brow pencil I used to have but at a fraction of the cost. I feel like the formula on this is really similar too. I wish this pencil was a little bit more waxy like the Benefit brow pencil to hold my brows in place but it's a harder and dryer formula. I like how the color I got in Dark Brunette is perfect and no hint of red. It makes my brows look really natural. A spoolie on the end is always a plus!
