I have 9 of MAC's powder blushes. These blushes overall are best described as decent. A few are really nice but generally, these tend to be the last blushes I reach for in my collection. Some are really nice, some are okay. My favorite that I would recommend are: Breath of Plum-it's matte and looks really pretty on a wide range of skin colors Pink Swoon- It's that perfect pink blush. Not as intense as Dollymix and in my opinion more wearable for most people Pinch O' Peach- a mix of peach and pink and is again a very flattering color.

Others I have are: Springsheen: This shimmery pink peach blush is okay. I think it's a little too shimmery though. It supposed to be a "dupe" of NARS Orgasm but is less pink and more frosty.

Gingerly: Ginger pink blush. I can see this looking better on those with tanner complexions than mine. (I'm an NC25 for ref) I bought this for my kit. It makes me look muddy so I rarely use it.

Raizin: Same opinion as above ^ it's a brown pink blush. I could use it for contouring on myself.

Pinch Me: Pink light brown mix. It's pretty flattering all around, just isn't one of my personal favorites.

Non Perm colors I own: Salsarose which is a pro color. It's a bright red pink. This color is very pigmented and for those with NC/NW15-30(even 35) should use a light hand as it can look clownish if not careful. This color looks really fabulous on those NC/NW35<

On a Mission- from the style warriors collection. It a mauve plum blush with sparkles. It's faint blush and needs at least two applications to appear well on my skin.

These are really nice lip balms. I have one in Cherry Me and it's a smooth applying moisturizing lip balm with a wash of color. The tint is sheer and natural looking. Great option for those who want to add color to their lips without being as heavy as a lipstick or as thick as a gloss.

It seems like these are marketed as the Revlon Lip Butter's competition, but they're different in my opinion and it really boils down to what you are looking for and prefer. Lip butters are basically a hybrid between a lipstick and a lip balm. They are more opaque and the formula is thicker. Baby lips are tinted Lip Balms. The formula is sheerer and they feel like lip balms, where as the Revlon Lip butters feel more like a thinner lipstick formula . Baby lips are something that can be used by girls and women of all ages. I could see a 12 year old using this instead of her Burt's Bees. Lip butters are not really all age appropriate since they are more pigmented and are geared to people who want a moisturizing lipstick- like product and for those who don't like lipstick but want something that is more pigmented than a tinted lip balm.

These products have been raved about for months now and I'm super late getting on the bandwagon, I know. The main reason i was hesitant to purchase them was because they were a bit pricey. I've see them going for 9$ in my area and I was feeling stingy. However, at my local CVS they were having a buy one get one 50% off plus a 1$ off coupon so I picked up two and holy mama, I'm in LOVE. What I really love about these lippies is that you can wear them for any occasion. I have a bunch of lipsticks but I rarely use them because I dont like to wear lipstick on a daily basis, I feel it makes me look too made up. These are perfect because these are pigmented so that you can really see the color but just sheer enough that it doesn't look overdone. Candy Apple is also a great option for rocking the red lips. For those who are hesitant about going all out, it's is a great stepping stone.

This was make up that "did mess with me". The coverage was okay but the worst part was that it oxidized on me fast and turned orange after an hour or so of wear which was so embarrassing to walk around with. Threw mine out and wont repurchase or recommend.

I use this to sculpt not to actually "bronze" my entire face. I usually avoid bronzers with shimmer like a plague because I dont usually like the way they look on my skin and also because it doesn't create a natural "shadow" for scuplting. Although this has a touch of shimmer it's pretty much undetectable and I can use it for sculpting. The shade is perfect for my skin! It's not too yellow that it looks fake tan-ish and it's not too cool that it looks dull. It's right in the middle. Not going to lie I thought this was product was all hype until I got it in my little albatross, orgasm, laguna trio and I will definitely be repurchasing it since I use it every day. :)

I've used the MSF natural for years and I just recently hopped on the MSF bandwagon. My first taste and only current MSF is Lightscapade which is a LE shade from a MAC collection back from fall 2011. It is absolutely the most perfect highlighter in the world and I'm really sad that it's LE because I think MAC would make so much money from it being a permanent color. ANYWAY, the color isn't too pink, or white or yellow but instead has veining of all 3 colors plus blue so it can fit a variety of skin tones. The glow is so soft and looks beautiful on. I would use this all the time if I could but I'm trying to conserve it since MAC might not re release it.

The name of this product is so cute and clever and that's what initially grabbed my attention. The product itself is a gold highlighting powder which initially looks chunky. I was concerned that this would look really heavy, dry and frosty on my skin, however this gives such a soft, subtle, pretty glow. I also love how it seems to blend into my skin to highlight instead of just resting on top of my foundation and powder. This seems to suit most skin colors! I haven't tried or seen it on those beyond an NC-45 but if applied with a light hand I could see it working just fine!

Not personally a huge fan of loose shadows, pigments but these are all so damn beautiful. I only own goldilux but i've swatched the others and they're all absolutely gorgeous. I haven't gotten more because I've been waiting for IMATS but when I do I'm planning on purchasing Tiara and Stella. If I gave in to my desires I would purchase a huge majority of the shades but the only reason I dont is because I know i'll probably use it once or twice a year since I usually stick to neutrals. I've got to restrict the makeup hoarder that I am but these babies are truly hard to resist.

I loveee these eyeshadows! They are bright,beautiful and pigmented. I own this palette plus the buttercupcake pan shadow and they're all uniformly as good! My only gripe which isn't a big one is that because they're so bright I don't usually use them as much but if you're the kind of person that loves wearing loud and bright colors to work, school or where ever you'll definitely put these to good use. They'll last you a good while too because they are generously sized and the intense pigmentation means a little goes a longgg way. I recommend using dollipop as a blush too, it's beautiful :)

These are fantastic eyeliners at a fabulous price! They go on soft and smooth, and the glitter isn't super chunky or flaky and looks beautiful on! The best part is they are pretty long lasting too. Can't wait to try more colors. Milani is one of my new favorite eyeliner brands.
