Laura Mercier Eye Brow Pencil

great color

The color on this brow pencil is perfectttttt. I'm a brunette and the pencil is a perfect match. Looks very natural and blends effortlessly. Very easy to pencil in the right spots without getting clumpy or overly pigmented in areas. However, it doesn't last as long as I'd like it to.

Shiseido The Makeup Fine Eyeliner

nice feel but color is weak

I love how this liquid liner feels on my face. Unlike some other liners, its very fluid and natural feeling, not cakey or flakey and doesn't get into your eyes during the day. The color is soft and not very bold so it gives a more natural, less harsh look. I like my liquid liner to be bold so this eyeliner is a bit too weak for me. However, its really wonderful for those that line the inside rims of their lids (especially for the top lid) because it doesn't get into your eyes, especially when it's washed off.

Shu Uemura Gloss Unlimited

pretty color

I use this in the 165N (red) and it leaves a very pretty red tint to the lips. This gloss is excellent because you can wear it semi-sheer to opaque and it looks great either way. However, it doesn't seem to last very long on the lips & has a smell that is subtle but still grosses me out (I like my makeup totally scentless!). Nonetheless, very pretty shades and not sticky and gross like some other lip glosses.

Dior Diorliner Liquid Eyeliner

great, but could be better

This eyeliner is great for precise bold black lining of the lids. I use the black version of this eyeliner and the color is perfect (I find that other liquid liners are too light in color). The liner lasts all day & theres absolutely no need for touch ups. My only problem with this liner is that its very prone to form flakes which makes it difficult to remove without getting it in your eyes. I'd love to see this product in a more "fluid" form rather than one that becomes so dried out and flakey.

Boscia Purifying Cleansing Gel

my favorite cleanser

I love, love, love Boscia's purifying cleansing gel- it's both gentle and effective. This cleanser leaves skin feeling completely clean and soft. It works amazingly well at cleaning off stubborn makeup (even eye makeup!) and at the same time is not too drying. I also love the smell - a gentle fresh and clean scent that smells subtly sweet and herbal. I can't recommend this product enough!
