Variety much?

Honey is a beautiful warm light nude, perfect color to complement my skin. It's awesome having such a huge choice of colors from a drugstore line-up and I will definitely grab more colors soon. Though I love the colors, I personally do not love the formula. It's very thin, melts in the tube as I'm holding it (the product then leans and scrapes the side, making a big mess), and has a fragrance. The fragrance isn't bad, it just feels wrong having such an unfoodlike smell on my lips. Any minty or fruity smell would have been awesome, but the floral just doesn't work so well for me. The product is so light on the lips that I am paranoid and constantly checking that it hasn't just evaporated off. I'm sure I'll eventually get used to it, but other lipsticks are just so much more pleasant to wear.

Nice, does the job

"The job" being keeping my nose looking matte all day. They are dumping this stuff at drugstores since it's being discontinued; I recommend picking one up. I also bought the shade for a medium skin tone and use it for contouring, works great and looks very natural. The brush is clearly animal hair and stinks like a wet dog, but that's my personal preference speaking. I threw it away and put my other face powder in there for now :] Very cute packaging.

This stuff is alright!

I bought this liner sooo long ago and just started using it. I used to be bothered by the "not-totally-black"ness of the product but really appreciate it now. The felt tip means I can't get a super-sharp line with it, but used over a darker eyeshadow it looks really hot and sparkly, and the blunt cat-eye won't be so noticeable. Also, I remember buying the "Black Pearl for Hazel Eyes" shade and feeling indignant like "fudge the system I wear brown n purple liner if I want!" hahaha but I ended up buying the "hazel" shade anyway :p

Yes!

Elizabeth C. said it and Wet N Wild did it! It reformulated and this mascara is amazing, easily my newest HG (ahaha). No clumps, no flakes, no fallout, I lost 20 pounds, and my skin is perfectly clear! (Statements may or may not be accurate) The bottle is an adorable hot pink now, total copycat of Covergirl mascaras ahaha, and overall I am really ecstatic to have such a cheap vegan cruelty-free mascara.

So pretty

This is my first cream blush and it really had me wondering... why did I ever use powder blush? This goes on smoothly, stays on throughout the day, and looks so natural when blended out underneath foundation. I really can't speak highly enough about this product. I'm going to buy one of the brown shades soon to use for contouring.

Lovely stuff!

Long story short, I believe this primer is best for short-term photoshoots and concealer. So the white base really makes colors vibrant, but I found my shadows creased after around 4-5 hours on the lid. Now I have oily eyelids and my bicycle is my transportation, so my eye makeup goes through a lot of abuse each day. This primer may work extremely well for someone who has normal eyelids and doesn't work out while wearing makeup. What I've really been using and loving and why I will continue buying this primer is as a primer for concealer. Oh my goodness, it really brightens up the undereye area, prepares a smooth surface for concealer, and keeps concealer on forever.

My favorite.

I need to replace my Lancome Artliner with something more animal-friendly and this is my favorite so far. The thin brush is wayy better than Artliner's chubby felt tip and the liner goes on very smooth and dark and dries matte. Will repurchase again and again and again...

Awesome

I can never have enough synthetic eye brushes so I grabbed this set from Bartell's at $8~ Woot. The case is kinda silly but the brushes are very nice. Nicely made; I love how long the ferrule is. The only brush I haven't totally figured out yet is the accent brush. I could use it for an inner crease highlight brush or maybe a small concealer brush, but I just haven't yet. Otherwise, the other brushes are definite essentials. The "eyeliner" is far too thick for my liner preference so I use it for undereye shadow. The others I use just like their names suggest! Fantastic set.

So pretty!

So in the bottle, the color is incredible. Right away I put it on and... regular clear lip gloss BUT! Either piling it on or applying it over a dark lip color makes the in-the-bottle craziness begin. I hope to put up photos soon because the effect is really incredible.

Edit: Check my photos out! This goop is pretty sweet and I hope to own the whole collection soon >:D There are so many possibilities!

Sparkle!

These are the only loose eyeshadows I own, but I love them dearly. I have six and use them when I want a look to have a big impact. When paired with the Jesse's Girl eye primer, these shadows are very vibrant, sparkly, opaque, and long-lasting. Unless there is a shade Jesse's Girl doesn't make, I will continue buying these as my sparkly loose shadows.

Edit: When I bought some lip products from the Jesse's Girl website, they shipped in under a week and had included a sample of EVERY loose shadow they have! It was crazy cool of them and really makes me love the company even more. The colors are all fantastic y'all.
