I own this in an aqua blue & I absolutely love it. The color is so vibrant & it looks so shiny & metallic. It lives up to it's waterproof name; it isn't coming off unless you have a good make-up remover. It goes on really smoothly but I didn't like the brush all that much. The brush is really long which became a problem because I have really long, curly lashes and would end up getting liner on my lashes & since this was such a bright blue, that was a bit of a problem. If you want a bright color (or just anything not the same color as your mascara) apply mascara fist! Anyway, a tube will last you a really long time too; I used my tube regularly & it lasted for like a year. If you are on a budget, Wet n Wild has a liquid liner in the same vibrant blue; the only difference is that it's not waterproof.

These really did not live up to the hype for me. The sticks are a bit on the dryer side so they don't go on as smoothly as I had expected & they don't last as long as most other MAC eye products. They are better than most eye shadow sticks out there but I still prefer to use this as a base than alone.

MAC lashes are amongst my favorite lashes. They are very long lasting, durable, & can look very natural or very dramatic. The lash bands are practically invisible on even if you aren't wearing make-up with it & the lashes themselves blend in very well with your natural lashes which I like a lot. They also last so long if you take care of them properly.

I don't dislike MAC's primer, I just think that it was only "okay". It feels nice and goes on well but It doesn't keep my make-up looking as fresh as long as Smashbox's Photo Finish or L'Oreal's Studio Fix.

Yes, it's just glitter & normally I would say get your glitter at a dollar store but this is an exception. MAC glitter is really nice to create a more grown up yet fun, glittery look because it's really finely milled instead of looking like craft glitter. You can create a much subtler look with these & it's so multi-purpose since you can add it to lotions, hair products, or nail polish. If you can splurge on these, do so.

If you've never played with pigments, I suggest you start. What I love about MAC pigments is how great the color payoff is & the awesome ranges of colors you get; practically every color under the sun is available & they mix and blend very well to create custom colors. I used a chartreuse color one year & mixed it with body lotion/ face moisturizer/ hair products to green-er-ize myself one year when I dressed up as Poison Ivy for Halloween. you can also add them to nail polish. They go on really great & lasts the whole day. The jars recently did get smaller (price tag didn't, ugh) but they last a really long time which is really nice.

This eyeliner is awesome. It goes on super dark & lasts all day. It's really smooth and the applicator is perfect for making even, thick or thin liners. Sometimes my eyelids can get a little oily but it does seem to affect this liner at all. It's pretty much going to stay on without an smudging or fading until you go in with a good make-up remover to get it off.

This particular pencil is one of the few formulas that are actually smudge-free on me so I love it. The colors are very high pigmented & you will definitely get a nice, bold pop of color. They go on very smooth without tugging or pulling which is nice. I just don't like them on my waterline but other than that, they're great.

This works pretty well for me & it's the only Maybelline mascara I actually like. I usually use it with other mascaras but on it's own, it is build-able and has a nice impact. I like mostly because it has a nice dark color & it does a good job of adding some volume to my lashes with several coats. I have very long, curly lashes but lack volume & usually need several coats to get the amount of volume I like. With this formula, I can actually apply several coats without it feeling heavy or cake-y & without flaking or smudging later. I LOVE the small applicator because it allows me to get to my corner & bottom lashes easily and smudge free. It does add some length but if you have short lashes, this isn't going to perform miracles for you. I definitely like it a lot better when I use it with other mascaras ( L'Oreal's Telescopic and Million Lashes are two that this works well with). I recommend it more for some volume or for women that need to darken their lashes.

I used to love this foundation! Maybelline had the closest to my natural color as I had ever found (until recently). I used to purchase two shades and mix them to get my perfect shade so if you also find that you need to do that, the containers for this make it really easy to do. The coverage is really great on this if you match your skin color perfectly (duh!) & lasts a long time. The brush was just okay, definitely not the best or worst and it'll do a decent job on your application but I just used my own brush. Unfortunately, after several months of using this foundation, I started drying out a lot around my chin area and on the sides of my nose which is weird because I have oil-er skin. I had to stop using it because it got so dry it started to hurt and a week or so after, the dryness was gone. If you don't have this problem, this foundation is great so definitely try it.
