Physicians Formula Super BB #InstaReady Beauty Balm BB Cream SPF 30
Good BB Cream, Needs More Shades
This product comes in only two shades, which is quite disappointing. It has decent coverage, but is a little too matte and dark on me alone. However, I mix it with foundations to make them less cakey and it works great. I like the Loreal Pro Glow much more when I mix it with this, and I like to mix another Physician's Formula Base product that is very sheer and light with this to give me a good finish and color. If this came in more shades so I could wear it by itself when my skin is oilier, that would be awesome. I don't understand why Physician's Formula only does two shades of concealers and foundations.

This product is such a game changer. It has so many uses and it really does make my makeup so much better. I use it on any deeper lines or marks to smooth them out for foundation, I use it on the little areas around my nose where my pores are extra noticeable to fill them in, and I can use it to line and prime my lips to keep any lip color in any formula from bleeding or feathering. It is truly a multi-purpose pencil, I just wish it was self sharpening. A finer tip would be nice too, but they have a clear lip liner so you could use that for more precise filling in.

This product isn't horrible. It smells nice and lavender-like, it cleans beauty sponges just fine, and the packaging is okay except that some product gets wasted and trapped under the plastic dispenser where it crusts up so you can't use it. My issue with it is the fact that it is $16 and I can get my beautyblenders and Real Techniques' sponges just as clean just as easily with hand soap I already have in my bathroom. I would say save the cash and just use liquid or bar hand soap in any scent you want.

This glue is okay, I have the version with a paint brush in the tube. It smells horrible for one thing, like bad fish. It does a pretty good job sticking my lashes on, but whenever I use it my inner corners always pop off, even when I dab extra dots of glue on the corners. I'm sure there's better lash glue out there with a less offensive smell that really holds down the corners.

I really like this brush for several reasons. For one thing, it is very affordable, which is always a plus. I think I bought mine for $3 at Walmart. The bristles, I will admit, aren't as soft as my more expensive brushes, but they are still quite soft and it doesn't shed at all, even when I wash it. I also love the finish it gives. I have texture from breakouts and peach fuzz on my face, so when I do a light dusting of powder over my foundation, brushes typically swirl it around, accentuating the peach fuzz and flakes. The flat top style of this brush without being too dense allows me to lightly press on finishing powder without lifting my peach fuzz.

I really love Urban Decay eyeshadows in general, and this palette was a great birthday gift to add to my collection of UD palettes. I love the packaging: since it zips up, you know it won't open up in a suitcase and ruin the pans. Even though it is covered in fabric, it is dark and doesn't get dirty easily. I love the full size black eyeliner pencil it came with too, as I can use it for smudgy liner, a smoky eye base, for tightlining, or for my water line. It comes with a generous sample of the original primer potion, which I like best of all the primer potions. The shadows themselves are wonderfully soft. The mattes are all very pigmented. Kinky and Freestyle are great bases/transitions for. Blackout is the best matte black eyeshadow I have ever used, and Back Door works great as a deep brown alternative for Blackout. Mushroom is the most beautiful shimmery color in the whole palette, and is so pigmented that I don't need a base with it. The other beautiful jewel tones and shimmers in the palette are very pigmented, but they really look best with a black base underneath ( I just use my Maybelline gel liner). I particularly like Loaded on the lid, because I love deep emerald eyeshadow. All in all it's a great palette that you can still find for a great deal in Nordstrom Rack.

This toner first and foremost has the best smell of any skincare product I have ever used. It smells like tea and freshness. And it makes my skin look nice and glowy, especially in the morning after cleansing. I don't know if it has the best long term benefits ever, but my cheeks do feel smoother and it makes me feel fresher and more awake. The smell is the best part.

I had so many bad lip glosses before that I had generally abstained from buying them. But, the fall colors ABH released were so beautiful that I bought Kristen. It is a beautiful deep nudish color, and the formula is amazing. The applicator is flat and narrow for precise application, the pigmentation is amazing and opaque, the texture is thick enough to last but not gross or sticky, it has a nice moisturizing slip, it smells amazing, and it leaves a stain so that it doesn't wear away ugly. I want to try some more colors now because it is so beautiful. I like lip gloss again!

I have the Gleam Kit, as I have fairer skin and already owned more golden highlighters. Even though 2 of the shades are too dark for me to use as highlighters, I use the dark pink as a duochrome blush and eyeshadow and the deeper bronzey color as an eyeshadow and shimmery bronzer. The lighter shades are gorgeous highlighters on me with the perfect amount of intensity. They make my skin look slick (in a good way!) with a glowy sheen, not glittery. I like how smooth the powders are and they aren't so soft that you get a lot of fall out. I like them better than the singles, which I thought were too dry. Good job Anastasia! I hope they do with the glow kits what they did with the contour kits and make shades available for individual purchase because I only really want one shade from the That Glow Kit.

This product didn't do anything bad to my lips, but it did literally nothing for them. The applicator is so big that it takes up most of the tube, so you pay $7.99 for a tube with mostly an unnecessarily large applicator and little product. I got the coconut one, which is clear, but people I know who have the colored ones say they are clear also and don't offer any color payoff on the lips. I liked it when I first applied it because it made my lips look glossy and full. However, this wears off/sinks into lines of lips in seconds and my lips look like they did before. It doesn't moisturize or soothe my lips in anyway. I use it, but only because I cannot return it or give it away because it is a drugstore lip product. Very disappointing and a waste of my money.
