This is a very full brush. The bristles are spread out to hold and lightly brush a loose powder. It does wonders when I use this to apply the It! cosmetics Bye Bye Pores. The heavenly luxe brush is one of the best brushes out there. When washing it, make sure that the ferrule doesn't get wet, because it will cause your brush to lose bristles. It really is worth the price and you can get a better deal if you buy it with the powder from QVC.

I received this to review from TotalBeauty, and was excited to try it. First, let me say that the color payoff is amazing, especially for a drugstore brand. I was really surprised at how well the shadows were blending. I only had to swipe my brush a few times with this palette in order to get the desired color. I even used two colors to create a custom color and was surprised at how beautiful it looked. Truly amazing! However, let me tell you a bit about the palette and the colors. The palette is about .62oz versus .60oz for the Urban Decay Naked Palettes. When factoring price to compare each palette, L'Oreal is the clear winner. The L'Oreal palette comes with a dual sided brush/sponge applicator (not a big fan). Now, on to the shadows. There are only 10 shadows in the L'Oreal palette compared to 12 shadows in the UD Naked Palettes. While you get two more shadows in the UD palettes, L'Oreal still outweighs the UD palettes. Keep in mind that while the shadows are not exact dupes for UD palettes, there are quite a few similar shades. On the back of the palette, you will find four diagrams with brief instructions to help achieve the looks. One thing is for certain, use some type of eye shadow primer to make the shades pop and stay put! This is well worth $20, but you probably will never pay full price since you can use coupons and find it on sale! If you don't already own, go out and get it!

If you are used to a thicker concealer, this is going to be a surprise for you. The consistency to this is rather watery to say something like MUFE waterproof concealer or Lorac. There are only six shades available which is rather unfortunate.

I forgot that this was supposed to be gel-like foundation. It applies like a liquid foundation in the sense that it goes on smoothly. It's fairly easy to match the shades as the same shades in the matte and dewy lines are also in the stick foundation. I use a stippling brush with this foundation since using my Beauty Blender didn't quite do the job when I was blending. It has nice staying power especially when used with NYX Matte Setting Spray.

This is a great dupe to the Nars Sheer Matte foundation. It has the same matte consistency that the Nars foundation has. The shades may be limited, but there is an easy way to try and figure out which shade is your match. Usually warm shades end in 0, while cool shades end in 5.

Okay so with this mascara, my lashes are nowhere near little. I get mega volume and the length is ridiculous!! (Like they are very close to touching the top of my lids) I recommend buying this on sale (Ulta Beauty Steals). One mascara usually runs about $18 but during the Ulta Beauty Steals, you can buy two for the price of one! Okay back to the mascara...it seriously adds a ton of length and volume. I usually use this when I don't want to put on liner.

I absolutely love this! It gives one of the best lines I've drawn in a while! You can draw a thick or thin line depending on your mood. The only downside is that the inside cap sometimes sticks to the marker when you take off the top cap. Know that when you use this, you will have a wonderful felt tip gliding across your eyelid. You also won't have a patent look to your liner with this marker, but it still creates the most beautiful of lines!

These two puppies can create a variety of looks! I have used just one coat of the mascara, sans the fibers, and have created a sweet looking lash. Once I add the fibers and another coat, whoa do my lashes look like they were on steroids! I was shocked the first time I used this because of the way my lashes looked! They looked like a set of false lashes. Tip: make sure to tap off the excess fibers and press the wand into your lashes, don't brush. If you don't tap off the a excess and brush, you run the risk of getting the fibers on your cheeks.

Just use it like you would a marker

It might have everything you need to create the perfect look, but after a while the palette seems to leave you wanting more. I couldn't use some of the colors but the ones I could use left me wanting to keep adding eyeshadow to deepen the colors. However, the more I added the more clown-like I felt. The only good thing I could say is that the mirror at the bottom of the palette is big but is also in a weird location if you are actually going to use it while applying makeup.
