I don't use this stick as a concealer, so I cannot really comment on how well it covers blemishes. I use this stick in Deep to contour and sculpt my cheeks and it works like a dream! I have a medium skin tone, so I bought a way darker shade and it's amazing. After I apply and blend, I set it with a bronzer, and POOF, my face looks instantly slimmer. It's super pigmented so I assume it works well as a concealer too!

I bought this primer a month ago, as well as a ton of other elf products (their products run from $1-$3 so I figured I would try a bunch of stuff) and this was one of the best things I purchased. Apply a coat to your lashes and let dry, then apply your mascara. I use Diorshow, which works amazingly on it's own, but using this mascara primer before made my Diorshow 10x better! And I didn't think Diorshow could get any better. I was wrong! This is a must!

I have this in Beyonce's Red, which is one of the most perfect reds I have ever come across, and it really does last. I LOVE a red lip, but I HATE when it smudges everywhere. You first apply the color (make sure your lips aren't chapped) and allow it to dry, this will take about a minute. Then apply the clear gloss over it, which is not sticky at all! It makes your lips silky smooth. I have found that most lip stains make my lips feel really dry or really sticky. This one is great! It also stays on ALL DAY! To remove it at night, I literally scrub my lips with make-up remover. Now I can have a sexy red lip, without having to worry about it smudging or rubbing off onto my fiances cheek!

Benefit is my second place winner in terms of eye shadows (right behind Smashbox) and these Velvet ones are great! I have three shades Bikini Line (light golden shimmer), Leggy (light shimmery pink), and Where There's Smoke (dark grey shimmer) and I use them together for a great night look. They are perfectly pigmented, go on so smoothly, and last long. I wouldn't recommend wearing them during the day because they are a bit too shimmery for the day time, but they are great for a Friday night out!

I bought this lip gloss in First Time (a nude with out any shimmer) because I loved the color, and I didn't even realize until I got home that it was a lip plumper as well. I am always looking to make my lips look bigger, so I was stoked to try it out. What a disappointment! The brush applicator is terrible, made it almost impossible to apply the gloss smoothly. The other thing that made it hard to apply is the fact that it is SO STICKY! The color I got was actually a really nice color, and the packaging is adorable, but it doesn't plump your lips at all, just makes them a hot sticky mess.

Hands down my favorite brand for eye shadows is Smashbox, and my favorite color is Cinnamon Toast (a light brown with a hint of a bronze shimmer) . I use it basically everyday, as a light color in my crease for some subtle definition during the day, and it works perfectly for building it up to be a deeper golden brown for night. The containers they come in are fairly small, but it last a long time. They also have a lot of different eye palettes, back in December I bought the "Click You're It" palette, with 15 eye shadows, plus 5 creme eye liners. All of Smashbox's eye shadows are a 10 in my book!

I use this brush on my eyes everyday! It's super soft, picks up and holds a good amount of shadow, and I have had the same one for five years, and it has yet to shed. What a great crease brush!

Whichever eyeshadow it is from Smashbox, I love it. This is my favorite brand when it comes to eyeshadow. And these trios are perfect! Color combos are great, they are nicely pigmented, and last a long time, especially with a primer on your lid. I always recommend Smashbox if someone is looking for a good eyeshadow.

I have been using this bronzer for 12 years, ever since I was in high school. I rarely ever bothering trying a different brand, it was always a waste. I kept coming right back to CARGO Bronzer. I have a lighter shade for winter and a darker one for summer. A must have! And compared to many other brands, the price isn't too bad. It will last you at least 4 months, even with daily use, and I will admit I am a bit of a bronzer junkie. I use a TON. So all in all, awesome product and a total make-up must have.

I bought the lightest one to use as a translucent powder to set my liquid make up. Works well, but not at all pigmented enough to use as a foundation. But hey, it's cheap and works amazingly as a setting powder!
