Beauty Product Reviews

GREAT colors, great quality

I love all Urban Decay eyeshadows, but I especially love this pallete because the colors don't contain glitter - they are all shimmery, which I prefer over glitter. I love that there is a great variety of hues, with the natural tones, blues, AND purples. I do a lot of blending with my eyeshadow and almost every single one of these colors blends beautifully with the rest.

Nice feel but similar to other primers

I like this product because of the light tint it has and the silicone it contains, making it glide on my face and make it feel smooth. I like it much better than L'Oreal's magic perfecting base because it is easier to apply but I feel it has the same result as Smashbox's primer. It claims to minimize pore size but I don't see too much of a difference on my face - it reduces the appearance of my pores as much as other primers do. I will continue to use this product until I don't have any left, but I don't think I would repurchase it.

Great intro pack for the price

I was in need of a facial skin care regimen and this "sampler" pack let me discover what I liked for my face care routine. I got mine for $27 at Ulta which was a decent price. All of the products (except the facial cleanser) last a long time (a little goes a long way). I won't be purchasing this again because I felt that the 2 moisturizers weren't anything special and I rather use an anti-aging night cream plus a moisturizer with more SPF in it (this pack comes with one that is SPF 15). I love the moisturizing toner and the eye brightening cream. I would recommend this to someone wanting to experiment with different facial skin care products, but not as a repurchase.

Soulmate blush

I NEVER used to wear blush regularly - every blush I have owned never looked natural, looked too pink, and didn't blend well with bronzer. This one is a natural shade of pink, blends perfectly with Hoola bronzer by Benefit, and works very well with my skin tone (white). The brush it comes with is PERFECT for contouring my whole cheek bone and the packaging is pleasing and sturdy.

Works FAST, worth the money

I have very weak nails that bend/chip/break/flake on a normal basis. After 1 application of nail envy I saw a difference. I now use it whenever I don't have nail polish on and apply 2 coats every other day. It's pricy but WORTH IT. love love love love

Super thick/volumizing but IMPOSSIBLE to remove

PROS: I love this mascara for 2 reasons. 1) It makes my eye lashes super thick, black, and long. They also curl up without specifically curling them. 2) I love the brush. I prefer silicone-like brushes and this one has a roller ball on the tip to help further separate and apply mascara. The brush and the formula catch every lash and makes them look amazing.

CONS: I didn't give this product 5/5 because once the formula is dry, it is impossible to work with. If you prefer layering your mascara, with this one you better do it before it dries or it becomes very brittle. If I have to touch up my makeup at night I will usually touch up my eyeshadow and then my mascara (because some eyeshadow falls onto my eyelashes). This technique just doesn't work with this mascara. Taking it off is almost impossible as well. I use aveno make up removing wipes and I can go through 3 wipes on EACH EYE just to get the mascara mostly removed. Because of this, I would bet this mascara isn't good for your lashes AT ALL.

Despite the multiple downfalls of this mascara, I will keep buying it because it looks AMAZING on. I used to be an avid Buxom mascara girl but I will be permanently switching to this one.

Feels good, works good, but expensive

I have only been using this product for a week now twice a day and I am already seeing a difference in my skin's hydration (around my eyes). A little goes a long way which is good. I don't know if I will buy this again because of the price but at Ulta's Benefit brow bar you can ask for samples (sample lasts about 1 week!).

SOUL MATE BRONZER

This is an AMAZING bronzer. The best thing about it is that it is matte - NO glitter or shimmer. I love using bronzer for contouring and an overall "darker" complexion; using one with shimmer makes me look very artificial and dolled up so this non-shimmer color is perfect for my needs. The brush is the perfect size for contouring (I just use a different powder brush for application to my whole face and neck). Packaging is pleasing and durable with a mirror inside (which I personally don't use). I gave this a 4.5/5 because if you use too much it can look orange.
