I decided to try this after many rave reviews on Nars O*****. I do like the color. It's shimmery and a really nice coral color and the shimmers are not too chunky. However, I didn't find this lip gloss spectacular. I feel like you can find something similar at the drugstore for a way cheaper price. The only time I would splurge on lip products is if I can't find any dupes for this but in this case I think I can (although I haven't found a dupe for this color unfortunately, just the texture). This kind of reminds me of NYX Aqua lip gloss but just not as glittery. I like how this is completely unscented since I hate perfumey lip products. I don't taste the plastic taste like what other reviewers noted. I think it doesn't taste like anything at all. A plus! It's not too sticky and it feels really comfortable on the lips.

I wouldn't necessarily call this a "lip cream." It's more of a lip gloss that kind of reminds me of the ELF lip gloss that I do not like. It has the same minty smell and tacky sticky texture but not as bad as the ELF one. I like minty lip products and this is the first lip gloss that I've tried that the tingling sensation still lingers after a long time which is a plus for me since I feel like my breath smells better with this on. Most other products I've tried the mintiness would just go away after a short period of time but not this one. I got a deluxe size of this in White Russian and it's a nice nude color but I hardly ever reach for this because it is quite sticky. This smells like cupcakes or some kind of dessert which is weird because I'm expecting a peppermint smell. I don't know if this is suppose to plump but it sure feels like it.

This lipstick is really smooth and feels really silky on the lips. It is a true matte color. It's not too drying or too moisturizing either. I just wish there were better colors. I was looking for a matte baby pink lipstick that wasn't too Barbie pink and this isn't too perfect but decent enough in shade 101. I just wish it was more nude instead of a bluish undertone. This has Rimmel's signature watermelon perfumey scent but not as overpowering as the Velvet Lacquers.

NYX is really stepping up their game. Lately I've been really impressed. These are pigmented and very moisturizing and smooth. They're even better than the Revlon Lip Butters since I found those kind of patchy. I got this in the color Pops and even though the packaging looks brown on the outside, it's more of a mauvey color. This is always the same reason why I can't give NYX 10 stars but I would love to if their packaging color was true to the color inside.

This gives a really pretty stain but I find the product a little drying so I don't reach for this often. I have to apply an additional balm on top of this. For more color, apply this product on dry clean lips and for more subtle color, apply this after applying lip balm first to your lips. I love the mint scent to this and unlike many minty lip products, this product doesn't have much of that tingling sensation (which I don't mind) but if you don't like that sort of thing, this might be well suited for you. I got this in the lightest color they offered since the other colors were too vibrant for my taste.

This powder was not matte at all compared to all my other matte powders. I would say it's more semi-matte and totally not oil control at all. I got shiny right away. I got this free as a sample and to be honest, I'm not a big fan of BareMinerals because I tried their original foundation after seeing it on TV and I just didn't like it. It doesn't cover well at all like the advertisements. Am I not the only one but their brushes sucks. They are not soft at all and feels like straw on my face. Even my friend who owns their foundation says this. I just toss the brush but keep the foundation.

There were so many bad reviews on this but it was either between this or the Loreal Colorlift blush which costed an extra $5 more. The colors are nice and not as pigmented but it gives off a more natural flush, something I'm hoping we all want instead of that heavy blush look. I don't want to end up looking like my cheeks were burned. The texture didn't bother me one bit and I like how it goes on creamy and smooth when you apply it and then dries to a powder perfection but the only thing I didn't like so much is that this blush didn't melt into my skin. It ends up looking cakey and clings to dry patches on my cheeks. My friends found this blush really interesting. They seem to like it too, the whole concept of it all. They're used to the powder blushes but after the powder keeps breaking apart in their purse (kind of like my scenario), they're converting to this. The colors for this are very sheer and they don't seem to last long. I had this on at 8 in the morning and by 10 or 11, the color was already gone so I had to keep reapplying.

Maybelline New York Eyestudio Master Precise All Day Liquid Eyeliner Makeup
Pretty good felt-tip eyeliner......
I was going to give up on felt-tip liquid eyeliners after using so many of them that the point dries out even before I finished my line. Surprisingly this one didn't--at least not so much. It's not the best but still pretty decent. The formula comes out precisely and it's so easy to create thick or thin lines with this product without it budging or tugging on your lid. I also like how the tip doesn't feather like most felt-tip eyeliners. The black is intense and lasts a long time. It is much easier to create cat eyes and winged liners with this liner compared to the NYX Curved liner.

I rate this an A in blendability but the pigmentation is just not there. This is why I stopped buying drugstore eyeshadow. I got this as a sample from Ulta. After packing the color on layer by layer I can't get an opaque color even with eyeshadow primer but this blends beautifully. Almost reminded me of how the Naked palette blends. This would be good for you if you like your eyeshadow to be more soft verses intense, but for me I like my eyeshadow to pop. I love the variety of colors they have too. Overall, not a bad palette. Just wouldn't reach for it often because lack of pigmentation.

Not true to color. I got this in Ravishing Rose and from the packaging, it seemed like a mauvey rose color but it turned out too red for me. I'm not a red lipstick kind of gal but I might try a different color because first off, this lipstick is moisturizing and sooooo smooth almost like the Revlon Lip Butter. It's in the middle of a highly pigmented lipstick and a sheer lipstick. It's just the perfect amount of color. I really want to give this another chance because come on, the prize is unbeatable!
