Smells Wonderful!
I love this lip gloss. It's kind of pricey, but I really love it. I don't mind the tingle, although I know a lot of people do. I would actually prefer it be more tingley! Amber is a really nice peachy-nude color, goes great over any lip stick I've put it over yet! I really love to pair it with Free Will from their liquid lipstick collection.
Love these products!!
I've been buying these for years and I absolutely love everything about them. They're not very pigmented so the color is usually really sheer and shimmery. The gloss is also really thick, kind of like MAC glosses, and I'm a fan of that. I don't think they still have it but they had a color called Candy Apple Red, or something like it. It wasn't really red, but definitely gave your lips a red tinge.. it was gorgeous!
Normal blush.
I only own Living Doll. It's a great blush as far as color goes. As far as the product itself goes though, I would say this is normal blush. It doesn't have amazing lasting power or pigmentation or anything. I do really love the Living Doll color though! I've seen some other reviews on here saying it's more like a highlighter but I would say those are some tan people, I use Living Doll as a blush no problem. I've heard that Honeymoon is a great highlighter and Tiki is a great bronzer, but I haven't personally used either product. If you're looking for a great cheap blush, go to Walmart and pick these up.
HG Concealer!
I love this concealer. I can't believe it's so cheap! Mine was around $8 at Walmart. It's really thick and creamy. There is nothing I've come across I can't cover with this concealer. I don't personally like to put it under my eyes, but that's because I like to use a colored concealer there. I used it under my eyes for a long time and never had a problem. I will say that a little goes a LONG way, so a tube will last forever! I've been working on mine for a few months now and have literally not made a dent in the tube at all. The little pencil it comes with is useless, throw it away.
Great for under eyes
I got this in a kit from Sephora. I didn't get to choose my shade, it came with medium. Medium is waaaaaaayy too dark and orange for my skin tone, as I am 1.0 in the MAC Matchmaster foundation. I started using it as an under eye concealer, it looks similar to the Eve Pearle Salmon one to me. It works great! It's super creamy and easily blendable, and doesn't dry right away. I put it on under my eyes, and then I put my other concealer on, and then I blend it in with my foundation brush while I'm putting foundation on my face. It works great!
HG Primer.
This is one of two of my absolute most favorite primers in the entire world. It's liquidy out of the tube but it dries down on your face quickly and really makes your skin feel silky. I've been using this product for about six or seven months at least and I haven't had any negative effects. I have really sensitive skin and have to be careful what I put on. I don't feel like this clogs my pores or anything like that. It just allows my makeup to glide on smoothly. I notice my skin feels different if I put makeup on without this, although I don't think my makeup actually looks any different. I don't feel like my makeup lasts as long if I don't use this primer, either!
ALMOST HG foundation!
Before this product came out, MAC didn't have a foundation light enough for my skin tone. I could use the tinted moisturizer in the lightest shade and it was fine, but even the lightest foundation still looked just a little bit too dark on my skin. When this came out, I was in heaven! I absolutely love that you can build this up from medium to full coverage if you want. It lasts a long time, doesn't look oily on my face, and is a perfect match for my skin. I love it! I would say it's my HG foundation but it's a little bit thick, and if you're going for full coverage it can tend to feel heavy on your face. I don't mind this, but others might.
Terrible.
I absolutely hate this product. I had seen a lot of bad stuff about it online, but I decided to ignore it and buy the smaller 'deluxe sample' size at Sephora for $15. I shouldn't have wasted my money. The product itself feels really nice, very fine and silky. But in my experience, it feels really gritty on my face. It's not just the makeup I was using, I put it on alone just to see if it still felt that way and it did. It's also really terrible for pictures, as it's a white powder it reflects in the light when the flash hits it. I've heard that the pictures of Eva Longoria online where she has big patches of white powder under her eyes are from this product. I will say that the packaging is nice, and I emptied out this product to put another one in it and use that as a travel setting powder instead.
So Huge!
This lipgloss is MASSIVE. It has so much product in it! I have the red one, and it's wonderful. You can dab just a little for a bit of color or you can put a full layer of it on and it's RED. I don't personally like the way I look in red lips so I mix this gloss with a lot of pinks to create my own color.
Great for Travel!
I love this duo. You get a good amount of product on each side, and they go well together. I'm extremely pale, so Laguna acts as a wonderful contour color for me. I will say that I've got a few friends that have this too and for some reason the Laguna always cracks on the left side near the bottom corner. I'm not sure why, but everyone I know has a crack in their Laguna right there. Otherwise, I haven't had any problems with it! I love taking this for a quick weekend or on vacation somewhere.. it's very small and easy to stash, and has both your blush and bronzer in it!
