L'Oreal Paris HiP Studio Secrets Professional Color Truth Cream Eyeliner

perfect for dramatic eyes

Love this eyeliner. I keep my products way longer than I'm supposed to (I know, bad, bad girl) and this eyeliner is awesome. As long as you close the case well, the creaminess lasts forever. It has to be a year or so since I bought the eggplant purple, and it is still going strong. The little brush that comes with it applies a fantastic line that can be natural, but makes the dramatic eye easy to do. I just wipe off the brush after each use. The eggplant color is fantastic for my green eyes, and it will last me all day or night in a humid climate. You really can't go wrong with this eyeliner. Definitely worth picking up!

Too Faced Lash Injection Pin Point

the best mascara I never would have bought

I adore mascara. I also believe just about every manufactures' promise, leading me to spend tons of money on a lot of products that I never should have bought. This mascara is different. I was buying Diorshow from Sephora and as a free gift, they sent me a sample of pin point. I have fairly long lashes, but I am usually looking for volume, and I want a wow factor (no natural for me!) Anyway, I figured I would gave this one a try before tossing it, and was super surprised to fall in love. It is amazing for volume and for length. It's teeny, tiny, easy to underestimate brush grabs every little hair and does amazing things for each and every one. When I really want my eyes to pop, I put this on my top and bottom lashes. Sometimes I will still use Diorshow, or L'oreal's Collagen mascara on top, but the pin point really makes a dramatic difference. I am looking to try Armani's Eyes to Kill mascara next, but I think I will re-order pin point as my secret weapon.

Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder

the perfect powder

I, like everyone else, had been using bare minerals, and was pretty happy with it. However, the promise of something minimizing fine lines 10 minutes after application was too good not to try. I love this product and will always keep it in my routine. I typically use a tinted moisturizer and then apply Halo as my finishing product. It keeps my tinted moisturizer in place, gives me a dewy look, but mattes down the often shiny look of tinted moisturizer alone. It lasts all day in humid weather making me look polished and finished. I have occasional acne and have started worrying about fine lines - yeah me - but I love this stuff. I have bought off ebay for significantly less then department stores, and one jar lasts forever! Probably going on 7 months with daily use, Plus, the shaver allows you to decide how much of the product you want for each application without being messy and spilling everywhere. Try this ladies!
