I am a real stickler when it comes to eyebrows. They HAVE to be perfect. I can't count how many times I've plucked/waxed my brows, wasn't satisfied with how they looked and grew them out just to repeat the same process. Prior to finding Too Faced Brow Envy, I was always drooling over Anastasia's brow kit, you know the one with stencils, a brow pencil, etc. Well, I didn't want to $65 for it and luckily I found Too Faced Brow Envy for a fraction of the price. TFBE has 3 stencils, 2 brow powders, one setting wax, one highlighter, one mini spoolie, one mini slanted eyeliner brush, and one mini brow pencil. Although I like the stencils that it comes with, they're not a perfect fit for me. The brow powder, pencil, spoolie and eyeliner brush are great to achieve the brow look you want. I recommend this to anyone that has eyebrow OCD like I do, and is looking for a similar but inexpensive option to the Anastasia brow kit.

Worst false lash glue, EVER.

When I first purchased this item I was persuaded by its practicality. You brush on the glue which controls how much glue you put on instead of squeezing it out of a tube which can get super messy if you're not careful.

The first time I tried it, I was not impressed. You'll need to brush on goops of the glue before you can get it to stick to your lids and when you finally want to remove them, you'll remove a couple of your own natural lashes as well.

This product is a big no no, don't even bother to try it. I do however, like the brush on applicator. If only DUO had the same concept...

Yuck

Having stick straight stumpy lashes, its a given that I'm a real stickler about mascaras. When I went to Sephora and saw this particular mascara I thought it would solve all of my worthless lashes issue. I assumed the fibers in the mascara would build and build and make my lashes long and lovely. I was wrong. This mascara did NOTHING for me. No long lashes, no length, no volume, NOTHING. I was so disappointed. If I hadn't lost the receipt I would have returned it right away.

Price - $30~ Repurchase - Yes Works - Yes Smell - None Everyone and I mean EVERYONE has this blush and I totally understand why. It's the perfect blush color! I bought this recently and fell in love with it. I don't usually wear blush but when I do wear it, it brings color and liveliness to my face.

Price - $20~ Repurchase - No Works - No Smell - None I read in a magazine that Benefit's Erase Paste was a really good concealer. (I really needed a concealer to hide my cystic acne after using the Merlot peel off mask and Queen Helene mask too often. Prior to that, I rarely ever used makeup to hide uneven skin tones.) When I went to try it at Sephora I thought it was way too thick. After looking next to the Erase Paste, I saw the Boi-ing and quickly sampled it. I purchased two of these and thought it was decent. The concealer itself was okay but it didn't last and accentuated further my cystic acne and dry skin (I was using a strong acne treatment to get rid of zits causing my skin to be red, irritated and dry with flaky skin.) Now that my cystic acne is gone, I would reconsider buying this again.

Urban Decay is at it again with Naked 2. Again the colors are versatile and very pigmented. There a some mattes in the Naked 2 versus no mattes in the Naked. I'm the type of girl that enjoys neutrals and smokeys because bold colors can look too tranny-like. You can't go wrong with the colors in this palette. The brush is also a nice bonus.

There's a reason the Naked palette is a best selling palette and still hasn't been taken off the market. Everyone loves the Naked palette, including me. The colors are very versatile and pigmented. You can wear the light colors during the day and darken them up for a night out. I will definitely repurchase when I hit pan for all the colors.

Price - $25~ Repurchase - Yes Works - Yes Smell - Slight smell Being that my Hypnose Drama WP mascara is my HG mascara, I always repurchase. Recently, I went to Sephora looking for my HG mascara unfortunately, the Hypnose Drama WP mascaras are always lying somewhere else inconspicuously. I thought I picked up the Hypnose Drama WP but it actually turned out to be just Hypnose WP. I was debating on returning it but being that I had no mascara I decided to use it. This product is nearly the same as the Hypnose Drama WP and I love it. I've now found TWO HG mascaras.

Price - $25~ Repurchase - Yes Works - Yes Smell - Slight smell This review is about the Lancome Hypnose Drama Waterproof Mascara. I am infatuated with this mascara and is currently my HG mascara! I am Asian, therefore my eyelashes are stick straight and short. The Lancome Hypnose Drama WP mascara really pumps up the drama for me. The product is a wet which provides build-ability. A couple coats of this and its almost like you're wearing false lashes.
