This unscented mineral sunscreen is fantastic for all skin types. I have very sensitive skin and it works perfect on my skin without any irritation at all. This moisturizer is perfect for those days I don't want to put on my BB cream with an SPF of 30. I am able to give my face a break from wearing any makeup and all I do is put on my moisturizer with an SPF 30 and I'm ready to go outside without worrying about anything. And I love the fact that it is organic as well which also helps my sensitive skin.

I have quite a few different shades of ELF lip gloss. Glam Guava Glitter Lip Gloss is a super fun color to wear with any makeup style you feel like wearing that day. And because it's a brush on lip glloss you can wear it alone for a pink tinted glitter look, or if you apply it over a lip crayon it because super bright. Same applies for their Super Glossy Lip Shine(I have Candy Candy and Sugar Plum Fairy), you can wear it alone or over a lip crayon, lipstick, etc. Not only do the seasonal colors look good they smell amazing as well. And because these beautifully colored lip glosses are inexpensive you can buy quite a few. Literally the only thing I don't like about them is that some of them are sticky

I have this long-lasting liner in Blue Heaven. Because this liquid liner is waterproof, smudge proof, and pretty much life proof it is a fun color to add to any bold eye makeup. This long-lasting liner can be used on the upper and lower lash line but not to the waterline(otherwise it will cause irritation) All MAC products are fantastic but are a bit pricey. This long-lasting liner is available in several colors and all are highly pigmented making them quite fun to wear

All of the mineral eyeshadows I get I always get them from ELF. They have an amazing color selection and extremely affordable. You can't beat $3 per mineral eyeshadow. I have a minimum of 20 different colors from ELF's Mineral Eyeshadow collection. I recently got Dreamy, Angelic, Smoldering, Seductive, Beachy, and Earthy. Those are in addition to the colors I already own. I am always happy with every product I purchase from ELF's website or if I'm able to pick up the products I'm looking for at Target. ELF has so many different product lines and every single one is very affordable and very reasonably priced. For those of you who are fans of BareMinerals but it's a bit too pricey ELF is an amazing alternative and extremely affordable.

I received this amazingly colored single eyeshadow in one of my Ipsy Glam Bags. The color is called Lanikai, and it's a very pretty shimmery eyeshadow. NYX produces wonderful products and I am so excited every time I am sent anything from NYX because I know it's going to be a great product for me to wear on a regular basis and record a fun review for my YouTube Channel

I had received a $60 starter kit from bare minerals to see if it would be something I would want to purchase in the future. The one thing I didn't like about how they have their foundations setup is that you have 3 colors you have to mix to get the perfect color to match your skin tone rather then just having one larger container that matches your skin perfectly. But I loved the way the mineral foundations, concealer, mineral veil, blush, eyeshadow, etc seemed to glide across my skin. Unfortunately because bare minerals is not a cheap brand of makeup I was only able to buy a couple more jars of the things I used the most. Then one day someone suggested to me to try out ELF, but I will go over ELF's magical products in another review. Because of my sensitive skin I have to be really careful about the makeup I use. So because I had such success with bare minerals products (even their makeup brushes that came in my original set). My favorite product from bare minerals is the mineral veil because it gives your makeup an absolutely flawless airbrushed look. But again it was getting too expensive for me to continue to purchase the items I wanted/need so I switched to an equally amazing mineral makeup and for the price of one jar of bare minerals foundation I can buy 5 items (so basically everything I need for my face). If I could afford to buy bare minerals I would still buy a few things from them. The only negative besides the cost is I noticed with the mineral eyeshadow they are not as pigmented as I had hoped so I had to apply much more then I wanted. But the quality of every other product I have used from bare minerals has been outstanding.

I naturally have very oily and pale skin so finding products that are light enough for my complexion can be a bit of a chore. I shopped around for about a month before deciding on which BB cream I was going to try out first (it was between Maybelline's Dream Fresh 8-in-1 Beauty Balm and Revlon's Photo Ready). I was lucky enough to discover that Maybelline made a BB cream light enough for my skin tone. So as soon as I walked out of the store with my BB cream in hand I rushed home as fast as I could. I have had excellent results with this 8-in-1 beauty calm. I use this everyday after I have used my skincare products (All Arbonne cleansers, moisturizers, acne treatment, etc). Since I started using the Arbonne skincare product lines to review my skin has transformed itself and it's amazing. So because I use 3 different Arbonne sets my oily skin is no longer oily. The first time I applied this amazing Maybelline BB cream I only put on a little (I didn't want to overdue it). You couldn't tell I had anything on my face even after I had added more onto my face. My skin tone looked evened out, blurred any imperfections, enhanced and brightened my skin, the texture of my skin had smoothed out and with the benefits of having an SPF of 30 it's perfect. Because my skin is so fair the SPF 30 really does make a big difference and prevents my very sensitive skin from getting even a mild sunburn. I also have a face primer(also has an SPF of 15) I apply before putting my BB cream on. From there I can put on my daytime makeup. Then an night I can wipe off my light daytime makeup and add a couple extra layers of BB cream and bolder blush, eyeshadow, and some darker eyeliner and amazing new favorite Rimmel mascara. Maybelline's Dream Fresh BB cream is extremely versatile. Love it! I would suggest this to everyone!! Even if you had oily skin. As long as you use quality skincare products (morning & night).

Maybelline New York Volum' Express The Colossal Washable Mascara
Another disappointment from Maybelline
I had the same problem with this Maybelline mascara as I did their Falsies mascara. Because I had horrible results with the Falsies I thought maybe it was the type of mascara so I stuck with Maybelline and just picked a different type of mascara. The mascara worked great for a couple of weeks and then became extremely clumpy and none of my lashes would separate. It was a disaster, and because I got the waterproof version it was a huge chore to get off of my lashes. This is not something I would use ever again even with a lash primer. All-in-all this is probably one of the worst types of mascara I've ever used. I am really bummed out about how badly this mascara goes on. Even with using a lash comb multiple times there was no saving the disaster that was created from just one coat. I could understand if I had put too many coats of mascara on, but after only a single coat I should not be getting these type of results. I will never buy this mascara again. I still have great results with other Maybelline products, just not mascara apparently. I ended up throwing away all of the Maybelline mascaras I had even if I had just opened them because i kept having the same problems. Maybelline makes so many other absolutely amazing products they just haven't seemed to get mascara perfected yet.

Maybelline New York Volum' Express The Falsies Black Drama Washable Mascara
Really disappointed with this mascara
This has been my go to mascara for quite a while. I wouldn't leave home without my Maybelline Falsies Mascara. While it looked great on my lashes (majority of the time) it never gave my lashes the appearance of false lashes like the ads and other reviews claimed. And after only having this mascara for less then a month I had to start using a lash comb with it because my lashes started looking really clumpy and eventually really gross. I am very disappointed with how drastic the change/look of my lashes became in such a short amount of time. I'm used to mascara starting to look clumpy and a mess after several months and not being used or cared for properly, but for this to happen in less than a month is extremely disappointing. I've been contemplating trying one of my newest tubes of this mascara with my lash primer (since I do not wear any of my mascaras anymore without a lash primer applied to my lashes first). I never realized what a noticeable different lash primer makes with any type of mascara. I would suggest to everyone out there to buy yourself at least one tube of lash primer for your mascara. I have compared a $20 tube of lash primer to a $3 of lash primer and they both worked exactly the same (and I saved some money). ELF makes an amazing Clear Lash Primer (for use with all types of mascara) I would suggest getting some if you wear mascara on a daily basis like I do. The white lash primer doesn't work as well (in my opinion) so I always buy the clear lash primer.

I am typically not a fan of any type of liquid/mousse foundation no matter what brand it is. But I was given 2 of Revlon's new photo ready products and the first one I tried was the airbrush mousse. It is virtually weightless on my skin and I was actually able to get one that matches my rather pale skin tone. I am very impressed with this foundation and the amount of coverage I can acquire from this foundation depending on how much or how little I put on my skin. My skin looks flawless with this photo ready airbrush foundation on. I also found that if I use my Smashbox photo finish face primer before applying Revlon's photo ready airbrush foundation I get even better results. I am so happy with the results from this foundation. And a little bit of this foundation goes a long way so I am confident that this will last me for quite a bit of time before actually having to purchase one. This is something I will be suggesting to my friends/family and clients.
