Reviews!

First is the primer! I absolutely love this primer. While it doesn't exactly last 12 hours on me, probably more like 8, it is still super impressive. It doesn't feel heavy on the skin, and completely changed my foundations durability. I highly recommend this product!

The NYX concealer is also amazing. It gives great coverage, and blends super easily! I have completely switched to this concealer over my previous one by cover fx, because I feel it does just as good of a job for a third of the price!

Rimmels brow this way styling gel works amazingly on my thick unruly brows. My only complaint is the amount of product. Maybe it is just me, but a bottle doesn't seem to last a long time. And since I live in a country where I can not run to the store to get more, does anyone have a suggestion on what to use after I run out? Might seem silly, but is hair gel a decent substitute?

And last but not least is Marc Jacobs highliner gel crayon. Oh my goodness this is amazing. I received it as my birthday gift from sephora, and I love it. Only problem is I don't know what to do when it runs out. I don't think I can go back to just any eyeliner after this. Do you have a slightly more affordable eyeliner that you love? Or should I just bite the bullet and splurge on a full sized Marc Jacobs?

One last thing, after using cruella I fell in love with red lipstick. I never liked it before, probably because I kept using the wrong shades. Does anyone have a dupe for cruella? Not necessarily the formula, but the color is to die for and I would love to find a more affordable option.

What do you guys think of my MOTD? Any suggestions or constructive criticism for next time?

And if you would like a review on another product I used for this look, please just ask! I reviewed these products because they are new purchases, but I would be happy to provide a review for any other product as well :)

(Also, I can't take a picture without raising my eyebrows it seems, that is why they are so high up XD Sorry!)

Taylor!! You look gorgeous!! That lip color was made for you!! I have that Marc Jacobs sample and love it for my liner, but feel as if every time I wear it in my water lines, it transfers to my contacts! Lol. I really like the make up forever aqua liner ($19 so slightly cheaper) and I just got the Elf liquid felt tip liner and I'm enjoying it.

As for lipstick dupes I don't have dead on ones but here are the other reds I have. The center one is the NARS, top is wnw in cherry picking, bottom Rimmel by Kate in 11-rossetto. And on the side is the Sephora lip pencil in deep aubergine

I'd check out those brands at least! Sorry I wasn't more helpful! But you look so pretty!!

Thank you Taylor! Maybe I will get addicted, all I know is my mom is not super keen on it, so while I am still 17 I won't be wearing it a ton. Who knows what will happen when I turn 18 XD

Thank you so much Kathy, you are too kind!
