Made for the daring, most of the 12 Urban Decay Deluxe Eye Shadow powders are intense and fluorescent -- anything but subtle. Applied sparingly they take on an almost-pastel hue. When used as liner, they're somewhat discreet; but when used as intended, they look dramatic. The high-quality shadow feels soft and won't crease or fade. Shimmery shades deliver medium-high sheen. Apply carefully as color doesn't blend easily -- great for staying power but bad if you've applied too much.

The first tube of this I bought dried out kind of quickly, but I repurchased from Ulta instead of Wal-Mart and I haven't had any problems since. I love this mascara (I have three tubes of it at the moment, that kind of circulate around with me, so I'm never without it). I have fine lashes that are average length, and this gives me what I call my "movie star eyelashes." They don't look quite fake IMO, but they look really full and long. The other day my DH actually stopped and asked me if I was wearing fake lashes though. I use this right after my Shiseido eyelash curler, and it holds up very well in my opinion. My lashes stay relatively curled till I go to bed at night and I don't have any problems with flaking, smearing, or smudging; I don't often coat my lower lashes but I do tend to rub my eyes and use eye drops for my contacts. Before I apply this I wipe the wand on the back of my hand to remove any excess, and that seems to go a long way to eliminating clumpies. Other than that, I haven't noticed any clumping problems unless I'm really layering it on, but even then it's nothing a spare spooly can't fix. For me this has become a staple and I'm fast becoming reluctant to purchase anything else.

TO start off with, I used to use Blissful the cheek stain by tarte (you can see a review I did of it earlier) I actually really like this blush. I went to Sephora and I wanted a pinky blush since I only had a coral colored blush. I picked out the tarte cheek stain in "dollface" thinking that I would loooveeee it at home. However, once i got home, it looked so violet and unflattering on my skin. It was also really light for some reason if I remembered clearly...which is weird since the tarte cheek stain in blissful can be very pigmented. I returned it the next day and decided to get "Dollface" (yes again) but in Amazonian clay!!!! First of all it was about 15 or 20 dollars cheaper (canada) so yay! ALSO, i LOOOOOOOOOOOVE this blush. I have pale skin and when I put this pink blush on, it gives me that glowy innocent just-pinched cheeks kind of look! The best part about it is that it's not CLOWN pink nor is it too violet and cool. It's like the PERFECT pink. You can also layer it on and it's super pigmented. Usually one swipe of the blush will be enough color for me, so basically it would LAST FOREVERRRRRR... So for any girls who are pale in general, this blush will actually look amazing on you! This is a fantastic blush, because the powder is so fine it blends perfectly into the skin. It doesn't look powdery at all and it truly lasts all day on my skin. When I come home sometimes my foundation has already faded but dollface is still there. As for the color, it's a really nice natural pink, which is not what I was expecting when I bought it, about a year ago. I thought it was going to be more like a bubblegum kind of pink, since the name reminds me of that shade. Instead it is just a healthy touch of light pink to your cheeks, but still lighter than those "natural rosy cheek" blushes, which I am not really a fan of. I LOVE this color! It gives me a very fresh and sweet flush on my asian olive skin. Just use a soft hand when applying. This color is almost universal. I can see how many skin tones would work with this. It's all a matter of how you apply it. I also have Exposed, but prefer this as a more natural blush. I use Exposed during the summer for a more bronzey look. The thing I love the most is that it has Tarte's famous Amazonian Clay so it keeps my cheeks not only perfectly flush but shine free too!!! Beautiful! This is the perfect, everyday, natural blush for me. It is a matte, mid-tone pink. Not to light, not to bright. I'm NC20 and it really helps me look more awake. It's very build-able and easy to blend. It might look chalky when swatched on the back of the hand, but when you use it with a brush and apply it to your face, it blends seamlessly into the skin. The staying power is good as well. Also, love the packaging! I love the compact coordinates with the color of the blush. $25 is a little pricey for a blush, but I feel like it's really worth it. Overall, a definite favorite for me! I definitely recommend this blush.

I absolutely LOVE rimmel london lipglosses! They're glossy and make your lips look fuller, but they're not really sticky, and lets be fair, we all have worn lipglosses that drive us mad. I remember walking to the shops once with pure gloss- collection 2000 and my hair just kept sticking to my lips, it was quite a windy day and so by the time I got inside, pretty much all of my hair was sticky! But anyway back onto the subject of rimmel... I love this lipgloss, its everything you could want! Its glossy, not sticky (as we have established) they make your lips look fuller and they taste and smell LUSH! They're really sweet :) also, its the perfect size to fit in your purse but it still lasts a long time! Also its reasonably priced, not expensive at all! Great value for money. Overall, I would recommend this lipgloss to others!

Max Factor is one of my favourite mascara brands. They make your lashes look really long and add alot of volume and it doesn't smudge during the day!
