Too Faced Snow Bunny Luminous Bronzer

too shimmery

I really like this illuminating bronzer because it makes my face glow, but if you apply it too heavy, your face can look a little too shimmery. I also like to apply some of the strips as a single eyeshadow highlighter. It makes your eyes pop!

Nars Blush

pretty

So I got this blush in sertoa, and its really pretty. I originally got it to use as a brozer shade, and its a very nice brown-bronze, but it can look a little too shimmery at times. But overall, its a really nice blush and has great pigmentation.

Revlon Matte Lipstick

great product!

so I have been searching for the perfect nude lip color for a very long time, and this lipstick in Nude Attitude is amazing! When I first saw it, I thought it looked a little too brown, but it looks fantastic on. its very light and is perfect with a dark, smokey eye. The only thing with this is it can look a little streaky (if that makes sense at all haha) so I def recommend putting a lip balm underneath before applying to help smooth and even out the application.

Stila Smudge Pot

not bad

So i got 2 of these not too long ago in black and grey. The grey one's cap wasn't on all the way, and it dried out, but the black one was really nice. This is a fantastic gel liner and, when used properly, is much more efficient than a pencil. And even though I was bummed about the grey one, I was still able to use it (just dip your liner brush in a tiny bit of vasaline to help smooth out the product again, but this may keep it from drying properly.... havent tried it yet) But i do have to say, the black is very, very dark, so if you have a fair complexion, I'd get the grey. it looks like a less harsh version of the black

Maybelline New York Great Lash Washable Mascara

not good at all

So, I tried to think of something I liked about this mascara, but I couldn't. This mascara is really bad in my opinion. The brush bristles are sectioned really wide apart, which makes clumping a problem. And the formula wasn't very think and didn't dry quickly, which caused it to get all over my lids. I really was expecting a better product because of the hype, but I would def never buy it again.

Olay Night of Olay Firming Cream

really nice

So i decided to try this because i needed a good night cream for winter and I've never had any problems with Olay, and I actually really like this product. I get really dry patches on my face sometimes, and this helps take care of them. I also sometimes get horrible expression lines on my forehead, and this seems to make them less noticeable, which is amazing. The only problems I have with this is that it has a very strong scent that caught me off guard at first. It reminds me of their face lotion scent, but to a greater degree. Also, I have acne, and I noticed it caused a little bit to pop up on my forehead. Overall, its a great product and worth the price.

Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss

gross...not worth it

I feel like these are not worth the money at all. I used to be so into them, because there were so many smells and colors, but learned that i wasted all my money on a product that is soley based on name. The gloss is really sticky, there is no color payoff, and after awile, the scent gets kinda gross. I have 15 of them, and the only one that I actually used and liked was cupquake. If your young and just looking for a fun gloss, go for it, but if you're looking for an actual lip gloss with color, lasting ability, and a light scent, steer clear.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow

good.... but not great

I love urban decay eyeshadow because there's such a great selection of colors to choose from, but i feel a lot of the colors aren't worth it. I have them in mildew, midnight cowboy, and sin, and the only one that I love love is mildew. Its a great metallic mossy green, and its fantastic. Midnight cowboy is a mess....the glitter is horrible and unacceptable for day. It would be nice for going out at night though, but it's not worth the money. I was really hoping to like sin, but i felt like it was such a disappointment. I really wanted a nice beige-champagne, but i feel like its so ordinary. You could really just find a matching color at a drugstore. I do like the quality of the product as a whole, but i feel the colors could be a little more unique and wearable.
