I love the brush, and a little goes a long way!

I was skeptical because $1 eyeliner, I thought it would be a sucky quality, but I was totally wrong! Usually for drugstore I head to maybelline for all of my eye products, but being I was at an all time low on money, I headed down to the elf section and picked up this bugger. The brush looked a bit lengthy for my small lid size, but when applying it was steady, a perfect winged eye! I have to say though, I wish there was a tad bit more pigmentation, because sometimes after applying I need to go back a couple times and fill in places that have somehow disappeared from having the liquid liner. For $1, I'm totally changing my price habits! This stuff lasts on my eye, and for me doesn't smudge, and I tend to always touch my eye even when I have makeup on:P

I might want to collect all of the Baby Lips balms!

I went to the beach yesterday and my lips were super dry and chapped. I also wanted something with some spf to protect my lips from burning:/. I got the original "quenched" light blue container, and the smell reminds me of citrus or lemons, I love it! It's moisturizing too, and it held up when I went swimming for an hour! It helped a lot since I live in Hawai'i sunny all year round right? lol

I got this in my IPSY BAG

this is a great primer for my eyes! It's silky smooth, doesn't crease, and it held up for more than 12 hours! Amazing stuff, plus it smells wonderful:) Use a little, very little, a little goes a long way!

Not the best color payoff, but still satisfactory

I got this quad at Target for $1.12, and being that it was way to cheap, I thought it was just going to be downright chalky. The darker colors have great payoff, but the lighter colors are a bit powdery. I wished they'd mix up matte and shimmer shades in a quad instead of all shimmer, since I prefer a matte highlight color to a shimmer one. Nonetheless I like the quad I got, and it's too cute! It fits in my bag, the case doesn't open easily, so there won't be any shadows smeared in my bag lol.

I got a sample in Matt Batali (Brown/ purple toned)

I love this shadow, it contours my eye shape perfectly, it's buildable, and best of all, it's matte, so I can fill in my brows since I have dark brown hair. It does take a while to blend if it's in your crease, and I love smokey eyes, so it took me longer to get an even effect by building it up. It's smooth, not too powdery, and the color is so unique. A dark brown with an eggplant purple tone to it, gorgeous.

A bit on the sticky side, and sheer

I have this shade in DareDevil. I saw this in action when michelle phan used it in her recent tutorial inspired by the Skyfall 007 movie. It looked super dark and vampy, I loved it! I still like it, but apparently it isn't as opaque as I thought it'd be. it has a tint of color to my already pigmented lips, but it is no way near the shade that is in the bottle nor on the applicator. Layering this gloss will only give you sticky lips, and if you apply it upon a lipstick or even lip pencil, it'll probably move, so I recommend to use it alone ONLY.

Not moisturizing, but I love the buildable color!

I have done a review on this the first time I started looking for lipsticks in my life, and I still love Revlon's lipsticks! I can never convert to another brand. I recently purcahse "Violet Frenzy" a dark plum Purple shade, and it looks wonderful alone or with a dark cherry red lipstick also. A perfect color for fall or winter:)

I like it, but I wish they made their bronzer a bit more darker.

The blush in this compact is amazing. It contains shimmer in it, but when applied it gives your cheeks a youthful look, not those glitter chunks. The bronzer was a bit problematic for me, since I'm a bit tan this fall, but none the less I tried to make it work by building it up. Unfortunately, although this is a mineral wear, which is a plus for me, it doesn't stay on as longs as I'd like. With or without a primer, it starts to fade within a few hours. on another positive note, it hasn't broken me out, yay for mineral makeup:)

My long yet sparse lashes couldn't bear the formula!

I am a fan of loreal's million lashes in waterproof, but the formula in it dries up fast, so I thought I'd try this one NOT in waterproof. The formula is to wet for my lashes. Even curling with the mascara already on my lashes, my poor lashes limp down. I've also tried doing layers, waiting for each layer to semi dry. This helped a bit, I could tell the point where they got the name "building" mascara,because I could tell it looked a bit like I had some volume, BUT, I could've just done that by tightlining my upper lashline. It took me more than a few minutes to apply three to four layers one to get some volume on there, and that was just a waste of time. The brush is too huge for my eye shape, I have mascara smudges on my lids, thank goodness I didn't plan to use it when I had makeup on yet. When it's completely dry it doesn't flake, but it does smudge. Has anyone tried the waterproof version yet? I only have a couple of non waterproof ones, because I like to use them for my tutorials, since it's easy to take off. Please let me know! I'm never going back to regular mascaras again!

I love this, I just wish they could work on the sulfur smell a bit more!

To start off, I have combination oily skin. I have minor breakouts now since I'm 21, but my high school blemish scars and enlarged pores never did fade with all of my skincare routines I had tried out. I am going to say that this product is awesome, BUT, so far I've only used it once, so this will be a first impressions thing. It has been 12 hours since I tried this out, and my skin is noticeably less red. My breakouts that I had prior to using this mask has shrunken, but not miraculously. When I applied it, I tried my best to apply it on a thin and even layer on my face, but do be quick, since it dries in seconds. It has an artificial minty smell, like minty toothpaste which I didn't mind, but I wish they actually had mint in there, since it's very useful in skincare. Within fifteen minutes it was a hard clay mask, the whole time I couldn't talk, it was that tight. I washed my face with warm water, and that was when the sulfur smell felt like it was lingering on my skin. I couldn't help but use my Aveeno Daily Detoxifying Scrub to counteract with the smell. After a few minutes I applied my Clean n Clear oil free moisturizer. The next morning to my surprise, it didn't leave my skin oily. I looked in the mirror, my pores looked a bit smaller, and my face had a natural glow, as if I had my beauty sleep for 9 hours instead of my usual 5. In conclusion, this product will be in my skincare routine once a week, and I'll update you all on my youtube channel with a review within a month to see if things have changed!:)
