LOVE!

I'm absolutely head over heels for these baked blushes! I would totally consider them a dupe for MAC's Mineralized blushes, except these are a fraction of the cost of the MAC ones. These are so pigmented and just gorgeous. My favorites are Fantastico Mauve and Corallina. The quality of these are amazing for a drugstore blush. I guarantee if you pick these up you will not be disapointed!

Awesome drugstore foundation!

um. Wow! I've heard many good things about this foundation from reviews on blogs and youtube. I always get a little intimidated when purchasing drugstore foundations, only because I can never be too sure if I'll get an exact match. After countless times of passing by this foundation and looking in the mirror while holding the bottles to my face to see which one would be a good match, I finally caved and bought W-7 Caramel Beige and to my surprise, it was a really good match for my skintone. The consistency of this foundation is somewhat on the liquidy side so be careful when pouring the product out of the bottle. This foundations gives great coverage and blends like a dream. This is now my favorite drugstore foundation. I gave this 4 1/2 stars because I wish it had a pump for sanitary reasons. But other than that, I love it!

Best Matte Bronzer

If you are looking for the best matte bronzer out there, look no further. I, personally, am a fan of anything with a matte finish whether it be a lipstick, blush or eyeshadow. I've tried quite a few bronzers and this one has earned the 1st place ribbon. Like most people say, it doesn't make you look orange at all. Hoola is my all-time favorite contouring powder. Forget MAC's Sculpt & Shape, this will fulfill all of your contouring needs-temples, jawline, bridge of your nose, hollows of your cheeks, you name it, Hoola's got you covered. There is no shimmer in this product whatsoever, so if you do prefer a shimmery bronzer, this might not be a winner in your book. This is a universal bronzer so it works for all skintones and is very much buildable. It's a staple in my makeup kit. Love it!

Best black liquid liner!

I have been in search of a really good matte black liquid liner and this is it! I've tried many different liquid liners, including the infamous L'oreal Lineur Intense, which was a complete fail for me. =T When I went into Sephora, I originally wanted to get the NARS black liner but was very hesitant because of the price. I was in search of a matte, carbon black, liquid liner that is easy to apply and very pigmented. I know that QueenOfBlending swears by this and said this was her favorite liner so I threw in the towel and purchased this instead of the NARS liner. And boy, am I glad I did! I don't have much lid space so I love the fact that the brush tip applicator is very thin which gives me great control and allows for precision lining. I am able to draw a very thin line beginning at the inner corners of my lids very close to my lashline. I don't need to go over my lining to get a bold black line, this does it in just one swipe! I'm not too sure if this is waterproof but it NEVER smudges on me! I think this liner is definitely worth its pricetag and I am completely satisfied.

Cute AND Smells good!

I was fortunate enough to pick these up at a fraction of their retail price. CVS had Physician's Formula products on sale for 40% off, plus, each of the the Happy Booster Blushes and Bronzers had instant $3.00 off coupons attached to them. Score!! I believe the regular price on these were $12-$13, depending on location. I first picked up the blush in 'Rose' and I instantly fell in love! It smells like a light perfume or flowers, but not overpowering at all. When applied, it gave me the most natural rosey pink flush on my cheeks, so perfect for an everyday natural looking blush. The cute little hearts are an added bonus. I mean, what girl doesn't love pink hearts? I also like the sleek hot pink metallic packaging. Needless to say, after purchasing the rose blush, I just had to go back and pick up the other blush and 2 of the bronzers. I'm in love ;)

amazing top coat!

love love love this! um, yeah. there really isn't much else to say about this product. dries super fast, gives my nails the shiniest finish, and helps my nails to stay chip-free. LOVE it! ;)

LOVE this eye primer!

I went into Sephora wanting to check out a good eye primer (I love eye primers!) and I originally wanted to check out the Kat Von D primer and the NARS smudgeproof primer. I went an asked one of sales associates for their opinion on the two and he said "neither". Instead, he walked me over to the LORAC section and proceeded to tell me that he doesn't share it with too many people but that most of the workers there used the LORAC Behind The Scenes eye primer. So after he told me that, I was sold. It was $20 for 0.47 fl. oz, which is a really good amount of product! I also love the packaging, which is like a Lancome Juicy tube or Jack Black lip balm. The consistency is similar to Too Faced Shadow Insurance (which was horrible and didn't work for me) and it dries to a velvety powder-like finish. It makes application of my shadows so effortless, my shadows are very much true to color, if not brighter and bolder, and it really helps my shadows to stay on my super oily lids. I haven't experienced any creasing yet and I've been using this almost daily. Love it!

I love this stuff!

I am in love with this concealer. It hides my imperfections like a dream. I find that the best application for me is using my ring finger with the tap/dab motion. It blends in with my skintone beautifully. I've gotten many compliments on how great my skin looks everytime that I've used only this product and a translucent powder in place of foundation. The only reason I gave this 4 1/2 stars is because since using it almost every day, it feels as though it has somewhat dried out on me and feels very thick. However, upon dabbing my finger in the product, it helps to warm it up a bit, making the product not as thick as it looks. I might have to try and let it sit in some hot water, hopefully that will bring some life back into it but other than that, I absolutely love this concealer. Milani is one of my favorite drugstore brands-great quality at an affordable price.

I LOVE these palettes! If you are looking for good quality eyeshadows for a great price, these are right up your alley! I have all 4 of the regular palettes and all of the holiday palettes and I love them all. The colors in each palette are well put together and allow you to create many different looks. For the regular permanent palettes, I love how you get 3 matte and 3 shimmer shadows. The color payoff is excellent. An added bonus is that there are quite a few MAC dupes in these palettes. I will agree that there is minimal fall-out but it's really no biggie. These are great for anyone who is just starting out with makeup or for the makeup junkie (like me!) :)

If you love matte lipsticks and are looking for one that won't break the bank, I highly suggest these! There are a couple that are a bit drying on the lips but that is to be expected sometimes with matte lipsticks. I would suggest applying lip balm to the lips before applying this lipstick. The color payoff is amazing! What you see in the tube is what you will get on your lips. You can wear this alone or with gloss and it will look absolutely divine. There is a good selection to choose from and there is definitely something for everyone.
