Almay Oil Free Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Pads

Very gentle and effective!

I have used this even with waterproof eyeliner and mascara. It all comes off with no problem or redness. I hold the pad on my eye for a few seconds to let it soak in a bit and then wipe. And it leaves no grease behind like some others!

Stila Kajal Eye Liner

Horrible staying power - moves all over

I have "oily" eyelids where everything seems to migrate. I had such high hopes - it had great color and went on SO easy. However - easy come, easy go. It smudged all over and wouldn't stop.

CoverGirl Lash Blast Volume Mascara

my new favorite mascara

i am usually a huge fan of max factor mascaras - but it seems since they re-formulated last year, the tube doesn't get me through the month before drying up in the Colorado air. I've used Lashblast for about 1 month now and can't believe how it delivers long, thick and shiny lashes. the brush is a little on the big size, but you get used to it. don't go over a 2nd time after it dries (do it before it dries completely) or you can get some clumping. you can't go wrong with the price! love this!

Dior Hydrating Concealer

perfection in a tube

i have had blue/vein undereye circles since i was a teen. if you ask my friends - they would say "what circles?" because of this concealer! i am pretty pale with yellow undertones and i use light golden because the golden color really helps counter the blue. the tiniest amount goes a LONG way - i sometimes just need the leftover residue at the top of the tube to do 1 eye! i have used it every single day since i can remember. the tube will last you well over a year. do NOT double up on it - the less you use the better!

Laura Mercier Bronzing Powder

great basic bronzer

the mattes are great (but i'm not a big fan of any shimmery bronzer). for very fair skin - the matte bronze light is the way to go. if you are fair/light though - go a little darker. smooth as silk powder. works great as a contour color too!

CARGO The Reverse Lipliner

love this!

not just good around the lips - it is great as a "nude" lip filler so that your lipstick shows a more true color and stays on longer.
