Afterglow Ultra Matte Eye Shadow

lovely easy everyday color

greatest eye shadow ever! it goes on smooth & blends really well. long lasting. all i do is dab my brush in the powder & then rub it around in the cap to get a pressed powder consistency. again, a little goes such a long way that this is really a great deal all around!

Maybelline New York Ultra Liner Waterproof Liquid Liner

not great

i like this brush wand. i do not like the formula it doesn't stay put & flaked after a while.

Afterglow Kabuki Brush with Bag

professional performance

i love this brush! since it is 100% vegan (cruelty-free) it doesn't have the breakage that traditional animal hair brushes do. it sweeps up mineral foundation & really gives your makeup a professional look. it is easy to clean. plus it is super soft.

CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Waterproof Mascara

won't wash off!

this does leave a dark residue around my eyes even when i use makeup remover. the non-waterproof one is nice & separates the lashes but flaked too much in my eyes. this one clumps all my lashes together. it lasts all day but....last too long on my skin when i want to wash it off.

Afterglow Pure Soul Mascara

never a flake

with most mascara you have an issue with flaking. which is very irritating to my eyes. this one never ever flakes. plus this organic mascara has no harmful chemicals. so i don't feel worried putting it so close to my eyes. the wear is great. it does takes quite a few swipes to get a good layer of mascara. but i still love it. never clumps either!

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

lots of hype

it does help prevent creasing. but it doesn't make the eyeshadow last all that much longer. it did dry out my lids a little. i could go without using this. i think the bottle is cute, but unpractical. foundation or concealer works just as well as a eye shadow primer in my experience. it helps. but it doesn't thrill me.

Afterglow Organic Aloe Concealer

swoon

this concealer has totally won my heart. it covers & blends well. but also is packed with organic aloe vera which has been healing problem spots on my face. the gel like consistency is different at first but i don't notice it anymore. great buy any one who doesn't like to use harsh chemicals to clear up problem areas.

Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque

could do without the parabens though...

i use this mask when i have a breakout. most of the ingredients are good. & it does help clear of my skin. but, i wouldn't use it more often than once every other week. i've only used it twice so far. the performance is great. just could do without the chemical preservatives.

Physicians Formula Gentle Cleansing Lotion For normal to dry skin

great for stubborn makeup

i like this much better than liquid removers. it really does remove all eye makeup with ease i just use my ring finger to massage away the makeup. it would be better if it rinsed off with warm water. instead i have to wipe my eye with a tissue or cotton ball. other than that, it is nice for sensitive eyes.
