Great Pigments!

When I am looking for a very colorful and intense eye, this is the palette I choose. The colors are rich with or without the primer. One of the things I love about this palette is they've included some less intense colors so it is suitable for any situation. I just wish it were travel friendly.

Very Drying

If you're looking for a color that will last all day, you're in luck. If you're looking for a non-drying long lasting lip color, you will be very unhappy. My lips were left extremely dry and peeling. I tried using a lip balm prior to application, but as you can guess the color did not last as long. I say skip this one.

Amazing Hold

I have unruly eyebrows that are sparse. Brow powders were not giving me the look I was hoping for. I had all but given up on having great eyebrows. One day on a whim I decided to go to the dark side of brow pencils. I've used brow pencils before and they always looked harsh on me. Avon Glimmersticks Brow Definer is unlike any brow product I have ever tried before. The color glides on smoothly and is very easy to blend. It's especially great for when I dye my hair and need my eyebrows to compliment the color. The pigment is strong enough to cover my jet black hairs without needing to dye my eyebrows lighter.

Favorite Mascara

I'm usually not a person who will spend more than $5 on mascara. I've rolled my eyes whenever a person has mentioned their $35 department store mascara. I always wondered if there was a happy medium in price that was just as good, if not better, than the most expensive and most inexpensive mascara. Finally there is! Not only does the Loreal Double Extend mascara come with a lash conditioning primer, but it also helps your lashes grow. People assume I am wearing false lashes on a regular basis. I just smile and let them know that it just has to do with my mascara. An issue I've always had is the smearing and flaking of my mascara by the end of the day because I have sensitive watery eyes. This mascara has never ran on me. I can go see the latest chick flick and not have to worry about ruining my mascara. This mascara is a definite beauty must.

Lip Balm of Choice

I've been a fan of the Soothing Lip Balm for close to 10 years now. It was first introduced to the market as Balmy Nights, but then received a much needed makeover. Hurray for color choices now. I use the Pink Sugar whenever I just want a hint of color. The peppermint smell is not too strong and the balm glides on silky smooth. Since using the product I've never had an issue with dry lips. My only issue is the new packaging. It is very difficult to get the lid off. However, whatever lid issues I may have, once I get it removed, I am a very happy person.

Great For Every Ethnicity

Whenever a brand releases a new face product I am always skeptical that there will be a perfect match for me. I usually have to blend two colors to receive the color that matches my skin tone. NARS is one of the first concealers that did not leave me with an ashy hue. The color range is exceptional. The products glides on smoothly. The best part, it really does last all-day.

Hands down the best lid primer I've ever used with loose pigments, loose shadows and loose glitter. A little goes a very long way and the colors will last in extreme heat. What I love most about this product is, you can use it with other brands and it will work just as well.

I was quite surprised by the pigmentation of the Central Park collection. Without using the Primer Base you get a hint of color. With the Primer Base the color pay off is quite nice. The colors work very well with each other as well as separately. You get more than what you pay for.
