Barbie Eat Your Heart Out!

This is girly and sweet wrapped up in a pretty pink ribbon... When I smelled this at Dillard's I was instantly taken back to being 7 yrs old and unwrapping my barbie and her accompanying solid Barbie Perfume... (for the life of me I cannot remember which doll gave it) ... When I spritz this on it's all I can think of is Pink and Barbie! It is so gorgeous smelling and not over-powering....It is long lasting and I have gotten so many compliments from total strangers walking into buildings or down the block wondering what it was and that it smelled so yummy! The bottle is gorgeous and a bit pricey ( I got it for X-mas in a gift set with lotion and body powder with pretty pink powder puff) but definitely worth it! It's in my top two scents and will always be... because I was always a "barbie girl" as a kid... haha

My signature scent...

I think Vera Wang must have been a mind reader or on my wavelength when she put this out just for me (j/k not that vain)... It smells amazing and have been wearing it since it came out... it has the right amount of sweet and sultry and have had nothing but compliments when I wear it... I adore it and so do boys ;) It is not overpowering and a big thing is that it mixes well with any sort of lotion or hair product scents that you may put on... it is THAT versatile.... Miss Wang I <3 You!

Been my go-to foundation for years...

I have tried every foundation from Clinique, Lancome, Revlon, L'Oreal, you name it... pricey and cheap and this is the best foundation for a long-lasting coverage that will not leave you blotchy and covers a variety of skin problems from scars to blemishes. I have combination skin and tend to get a little oily around my nose and dry patches even with exfoliating around my cheek area and forehead. This covers everything. I was never afflicted with Acne but I have had friends who have used this product and they tell me it covers great and stays put all day (like they're supposed to)... the only thing I would say is if you want some shine you would have to add it with other cosmetics as this product is very matte. I love it and will be using it until they stop making it or I die first haha....

Surprisingly highly pigmented for the price!

For being a L'Oreal product I was extremely pleased with this product. I bought it in the gold and dark purple shade and think it is gorgeous. I bought it on a whim on a recent shopping trip to Target and wanted a highly pigmented gold shade and absolutely love it. Definitely recommend this product as it is comparable with higher end cosmetics.

Gorgeous when you first get it...

This mascara is gorgeous, rich black, and makes your lashes thick and lush and long.... but I don't know if it was just me, but it dried up very quickly and I was very disappointed considering it is a higher end priced product. I would go with Estee Lauder or MAC's range of mascaras if you are looking for a product that will last more than 2-3 weeks with daily use. Also it seemed to flake for me and I wear contacts which isn't something you'd want.

This is my go-to palette

I like many people absolutely love this palette. The colors are all the necessary purchases from Urban Decay as far as eyeshadow. All are so silky and highly pigmented and super shimmery. I have had the palette for a while now ( was a bit pricey ) but definitely worth it hands-down... I recommend it to anyone who loves neutral colors in every shade that will match with any look.

Not for everyone (Combination skin)

I have combination skin and found this to be too oily and shiny in the oily areas and too dry leaving dark blotches of dry skin along the cheek area. It goes on great but once you start to use any sort of powder or bronzer or even blush it makes your complexion uneven and I had to wash my face and start my makeup from scratch and give the product away. My mom didn't seem to have a problem with it except for the fact that she usually has dry skin but it left her very oily around her nose and had to blot to soak up the shine only after a few hours.

If you are going to buy one palette make it this one...

I found Coastal Scents a few years ago via ebay when searching for MAC palettes and this popped up. It has every color possible and the quality is silky and highly pigmented... The matte colors and pearl/shimmer colors palettes are definitely a must-buy! Great as a gift for someone's birthday or the holidays and very affordable for the range of shades you receive.

Must have for Human Hair Extensions

I LOVE this product! It's incredibly affordable for what it does and a necessity for those who wear clip in human hair extensions.... it saves them and keeps them silky and damage free.... not to mention it smells beautiful and the dispenser is perfect for even application and saves you a lot of product....
