holy grail!!

if i had to live with one brand of blush for the rest of my make up wearing life, it would be elfs studio blushes! they're pigmented without being overdone and there are enough colors that will work for any skintone. elf even threw in a highlighting product as well. the packaging is sleek and compact, great for travel. they also blend well and wear all day. my only complaint is that there aren't more colors!

good for everything but mascara

i bought a pack of 7 wipes from target to test these out. the other night, i was feeling tired and didn't want to bother with my usual skincare routine so i decided to testdrive these. i found that it took off all my make up pretty well but the mascara removal was just not happening. this was tugging at my lashes and i felt if i kept working at it, i wouldn't have lashes left by the end. that's about my only con with this product- they're a good buy if you're looking for inexpensive make up removing wipes!

can't really live without this

i have nearly every color of these glosses and reach for them daily. theyre thick but not goopey and they last for quite some time on the lips. you get a great color selection and at $1, whats not to love! these are often compared to stila's lip glazes.. i would say these beat stila by a million miles. i find the stila ones very sticky and unmanagable. the elf ones also have a nice light scent to them as well but nothing too overpowering. an amazing buy!

frustrating but worth it

i should start out by saying i'm about nw15-nw20 so i understand anyone who's having issues with the bronzer because i am too. i've found if i apply it with a light hand and then buffer it like mad with a kabuki, it looks great! that being said, it can be frustrating to work with. i should note too, that it gets pretty matte when you buff it out. im not crazy about the sparkle either! the other side of the duo is a lovely blush, though! my cheeks get pretty pink throughout the day and the blush doesn't add to it, it still keeps my flush natural. this is a good buy, in my opinion.

soft, not greasy..

should be this lotion's motto. im always hesistant to try out hand creams. my past experience with them has left me literally with butter fingers. that's not the case with this! my hands are soft and moisturized but i can still open a bottle of nail polish after i use it. it dries quickly as well. i highly recommend this one!

holy grail mascara

my lashes aren't all that stubborn. they curl pretty well and hold that curl for a decent amount of time. so i'm not real sure why its so frustrating to find a good, affordable mascara! i grabbed this on a whim at the store and now i can't let this little baby out of my sight. i get length and volume from this, as well as definition. this never clumps up or budges on me! this mascara gets mixed reviews but i'm a major fan

my favorite

if you're just looking into buying make up, these are a great place to start. you get 4 highly pigmented colors for $1. i own close to 10 of these and reach for them frequently. i never have an issue with fall out or blending, so no matter what make up level you're on, they're a great buy. what's not to love?!

holy grail!

not real sure how i've gone so long without having this little guy in my collection. i work a retail job in the mall and the busier it gets, the more my make up travels south. i had always looked into setting sprays but it wasn't until a trip to sephora one day that i decided to grab this. i've already gone through nearly 2 bottles and couldn't love it more than i already do! it saves my make up during work but also on hot days when i get hot and my make up can't handle it. sephora sells a smaller size now for $11 if you're interested in giving it a shot before spending $30 on a full size but honestly, there's nothing to be disappointed about!

not bad but not the best

this is a good brush if you want something inexpensive that isn't going to fall apart on you. however, if you have sensitive skin like me, you might notice a bit of poking from the bristles. at $1, you can't really expect anything amazing but i dont reach for this brush that often

can't seem to find..

the same deep love for this product that everyone else has. i wanted to get into the world of refreshing sprays so i picked up mark mist opportunity. i play with that a lot and i really do love it. well, when mac came out with the new minis collection, i figured it was the perfect time to try out fix +. i got it home and started playing immediately, waiting to be wowed. ive had it for about a month now and im still waiting! i tried using this for shadows and to spray on my face and i'm just not impressed. compared to my mark one, this doesn't even reach the same level. i think what annoyed me most is it's not a fine, even mist. mine comes out and makes my face actually feel wet. not cool. id say this product is a miss for me!
