Not the best...
I got this pencil in the Return of Sexy palette and have never really been so disappointed with a black liner. It isn't super black and the pencil is a little too creamy. Part of the pencil broke off while lining my waterline and ended up giving me really bad racoon eyes. It is waterproof, though. So that bag under my eye won't be budging until I go upstairs and take a makeup remover wipe. Only good thing about it, lol.
First NA BB Cream
Everyone I've ever talked to has sworn up and down about the Garnier BB Cream. None of my friends are exactly gurus but they appreciate good coverage and something that's easy to apply and blend. This is definitely it. If the price for a drugstore product scares you, just wait for it to go on sale or for your store of choice to have a promotion. It's a very easy to use product. My grudge? There are only two different shades.
Wanted to like it...
I got this BB cream as soon as it was on our drugstores. It has very poor coverage and it feels like it's a tin, watery consistency. I'm also going to be a prude and mention it only has a SPF of 10-15. Any powder(s) I layered on top of this just got absorbed by the greasy film on my face. It's about $10 here. My advice? Wait for the Garnier BB Cream to go on sale. There isn't much of a price difference when it's 10-15% off, you can get more points for it at SDM, and there's more in the tube.
My first BB cream experience
Living in Canada we end up getting some of the products later than you guys in the US. While everyone was raving over the Garnier BB Cream, we didn't have it in our drug stores yet. I grabbed this one to hold me over until they surfaced a little bit more. It gives good coverage and comes in a wide range of shades.
My complaints? It has a weird smell and it's pretty pricey.
Just "So-so"
I'm really fussy in regards to my mascaras so I have yet to find the perfect mascara. The wand is a strange shape (although they have a reason for the spoon shape) to try and give you an all-day curl. The formula is a little dry and I wouldn't say it's the blackest mascara out there.
Before this
Before I got this little kit I never would have thought about filling in my brows. I got it for about $15 at SDM which is a complete steal for a benefit product, in my opinion. I use the darker brown shade and set it with the wax and it makes my brows look a lot more defined.
Perfect summer scent
I'll be super bummed if I can't find this guy again. I love G, it reminds me of suntan lotion (in a very good way) Plus, the packaging is super cute. I've had this for close to two years and I'm almost out.
<3 it
I got this perfume as a Valentine's gift two years ago, my ex noticed how often I grabbed Love Kills Slowly so he got me this one. It's gorgeous and a little bit muskier than the original Ed Hardy perfume.
My first perfume from a boyfriend
I got this for Christmas going on 4 years ago from an ex of mine. It smells great and it constantly gave me compliments whenever I wear it. I love Christian Audigier for lazy days and the perfume is one of my signature daytime perfumes.
Bought it on a wim
I saw that Lawtons Drug Mart had this on for less than $20 so I decided to pick it up. Even if it stunk on me my mother could use it or maybe even my grandmother. Who knows. It doesn't stink so I still have it. It's more floral than I usually like but it's always nice for a change.
