Maybelline New York Fit Me! Foundation

Nice package, good range of shades, but if you need more coverage...

I am in my 30's with a bit of uneven skin tone on my cheeks. I bought shade 115 which is for a really fair skin tone. The consistency is similar to Cover Girl Clean makeup. I thought the product too sheer for me, and really did not look good when I tried to build up coverage in multiple thin layers on trouble spots. I think that the sheen makes my face look greasy after about 5 hours. If you have little to no flaws this would probably be a big win for you. I love the packaging and the product did not smell unpleasant like some foundations. It looked a bit cakey on my skin despite using a moisturizer before application. I think that the matte mousse liquid offers better coverage than this.

Maybelline New York Lash Stiletto Ultimate Length Washable Mascara

I did not like this at first, but now I love it.

I tried this product a few times, and got clumpy Tammy Faye looking lashes the first few times. I almost gave up. I just could not throw out a nearly brand new mascara. I tried it a few more times, and discovered that you really need to make sure you swipe the brush real well on lip to lessen the product load on the brush. I'll do 2 maybe 3 thin coats, and I swear people ask if I'm wearing false eyelashes. The smell dissipates once the product is dry. I have found it to occasionally flake if you accidentally rub your eyes during the day. I will be buying this product again.

Maybelline New York Dream Liquid Mousse

Wonderful coverage and feel.

I really like this product so much better than the Dream Matte Mousse in the pot. This product went on silky, and a little goes a long way. The coverage was very good, and I would know, I have hyperpigmentation and scars. I did not break out with this product. I purchased it because I had a coupon, and I had seen the commercial touting it's pore-free looking powers. I would buy this again, coupon or not!

Wet n Wild Ultimate Expressions Eyeshadow Palette

These shadows work just a well if not better than high end shadows.

I was low on cash, and needed some shadow, and I bought the Sand Castle collection. I was blown away by the high pigmentation, the color selection, and the durability on the lids. I may never go back to MAC. Whenever I wear these shadows, I always get compliments from people wondering what kind of product I'm using because it looks amazing.

Yes to Carrots Eye Can C Clearly Now Eye Contour Cream

This is a good product, generous portion for the money.

I have been using this product for about a year. The jar has a generous amount of product in it, and a little product goes a long way. There is next to no smell. I feel that this cream moisturizes well, and it can even be used under makeup without flaking or pilling. I recommend it for those that have just the beginning signs of dryness or aging around the eye area.

Secret Fresh Invisible Solid

I love the scents, but it really does not cut down on the perspiration.

I really tried to like this product. It comes in amazing scents, but it just does not do enough for wetness protection. I am a stage performer, and this is not performance strength at all. Oh yeah, and it leaves white marks on my black clothes. Invisible it is not!
