London Baby

I absolutely love this gel eyeliner. I have used both London Baby and their black (can't remember the name). The London Baby is a really muted shade of purple...almost brownish that works with almost everything if you dont want the dramatic black look. It goes on very smooth and does not rub off at all. It's my go to eyeliner! I actually also like the angled brush that Essence sells for this liner too. Very easy to use. I would definitely absolutely recommend trying it. For less than $4, how can you not??

Only Like (UPDATE)

I got a sample of this mascara and thought it was pretty solid. The formula was smooth and it did give body and volume to my lashes. I like it for night time because it is bold and gives a slightly dramatic look. The only reason I don't love it is because of the brush. My lashes are short and the bristles are so long I get it on my eyelids sometimes. If I didn't have a sample, I probably wouldn't spend the money. If you have longer lashes then you will probably love this mascara. *UPDATE* Ok, I take it back. I LOVE this mascara! I just love the way it looks and the drama it gives my lashes. I eventually got used to the long bristles on the brush (it's a technique) and now I just love it. I use it every time I go for a night out. If i'm in a hurry I won't use it, but I do actually love this mascara... :)

Fantastic cream blush!

I love this cream blush. I bought in South Street Seashell and Urban Spice. Urban is a bronze with shimmer that I usually wear at night and Seashell is an everyday wearable that gives a beautiful flush to my cheeks. These are very blendable and just the right pigmentation. Easy and nice to build too if needed. I apply with my fingers. Tip - I don't rub the stick directly onto my cheek. I rub my finger on the stick and then wipe on my cheek. It is more controlled so you don't apply too much. I would definitely recommend for someone using cream blush for the first time.

Not greasy!

I love this body butter. I am using it right now for my hands and it works great. I absolutely HATE the greasy feeling and this is definitely not. It absorbs so quickly! The texture is great and it keeps my hands hydrated a while. I only have a small travel sample, so I have yet to use it on my legs/arms/etc. also because it's thick and I only use thick lotions for winter. BUT, I must say that the scent is kind of strong. I don't usually like scented lotions (which is why I have such a hard time finding ones I like!), but the scent isn't bad. It doesn't smell "medicated" and smells natural and fades. That's why I gave it 4 stars, but I do love everything else about this lotion!

Solid

I would say this is a solid blush. Awesome for the price though. I have Tickled Pink as well as Candid Coral. Love both colors! But, I must say that it does not last me through the day. I would say it wears off a 1/2 through the day. Thankfully it's small enough I can pop in my purse, but if you want something with staying power, I'd opt for something else. But the color is beautiful, finish is great, and I think it works on just about everyone. For $3 it's hard to argue with it!

Great blush!

I've been using this ever since the True Match line came out. I didn't think that the match (Apricot Kiss) was right for me when I first bought it, but I quickly changed my mind! The color is really pretty and sits well on my skin. It's the right amount of color to give a nice flush. Lasts all day and never looks blotchy. It's my go-to blush when I'm not experimenting with others.

Dislike

I heard so many good things about this and saw so many people using it, but it was definitely a miss for me. It was really thick and clumped a lot. It made my lashes look really messy and "tarantula" like. Maybe because it dried really quicklyl? I'm surprised so many people like it. Maybe it's my short lashes, but this did not do anything for me. I even returned it to the store.

Love!

I actually liked this mascara. Being asian, I have short straight lashes, but this definitely gives volume and a little length too. It doesn't hold curl as much as I'd like, but I'm not complaining that much. My mom bought this for me since she liked it so much too. The finish was nice and didn't clump at all. Doesn't smudge either (at least not from what I've seen yet). Definitely a repurchase for me!

Great product great price!

I love these tinted lip balms. They are a little more pigmented than other tinted lip balms I've used. People complain about the taste but I don't find it that bad. They're smooth and have a nice sheen to them. I have bronzy pink, naturally bronze, and champagne and love them all. They layer nicely over other lip products too. They wear off sort of like a lip stick though and needs retouching after a couple of hours, but they definitely can't be beat for the price.

So far so good

I've only got samples of this right now. I went to Nordstrom to get matched and she ended up doing my whole face. It was a really nice foundation! I use mineral foundations right now b/c usually liquids make me breakout or are too heavy but this is perfect! I feel that tinted moisturizers are too oily or sometimes too thick like a foundation, but this felt very light. It smoothed out my entire complexion and gave a really nice glow but not dewy. Lasted all day (8hrs). I've still got a couple of samples to use, but am seriously considering buying this. Just a little nervous because of the price, but I'm thinking it's worth it. *UPDATE - bought it and LOVE it. Definitely try it!
