I picked up this pressed powder because of the name; matte and pore less sounded great! Unfortunately I was disappointed by a few things. For one, the shade range at the store I bought from was not very good and the exact same shades of the regular Fit Me powder did not match. I found that classic ivory was a different shade in both powders, although the names were the same. I overlooked that issue because frankly, I had a coupon :) I wore this powder over the Revlon Colorstay whipped foundation and found the results unimpressive. Although the powder was silky, it looked flaky on dry patches I didn't even know existed and the coverage was very light. Another addition to that growing bin of not so successful makeup purchases :(

I have had this palate for a number of years and have not hit pan on any of the colors except for the pearly hi lite shade. The shadows are perfect for daytime wear and all work together to create countless looks. This is a favorite palate of mine that I continue to reach for when I want a daytime natural eye look. This was my first Too Faced palate purchase and has made me a believer and purchaser of other palates. Thanks Too Faced!

Maybelline New York Eyestudio Master Precise All Day Liquid Eyeliner Makeup
Great drugstore liquid liner!
This has quickly become my favorite drugstore liquid liner thus far! I am a liquid liner fanatic, so I have tried many high end and drugstore liquid liners over the years. This product has a matte finish, which I prefer to shiny. The liner has a fine tip which is great for getting the precise line thickness you desire and does not fade or flake at all. This product is comparable to Stila's liquid liner, but I prefer Maybelline's due to it's matte effect. The only reason I can't give it a 10 is because it wears off in the corner of my lids close to my tear duct. That aside, this is a great product that is worth a trip to the drugstore!

I have repurchased this pencil 3 times, which we all know is a testament to a worthwhile product. The formula lasts all day and looks natural, as long as the tip is sharp enough to create hair-like marks. I also appreciate the comb on the cap. All in all, I love this brow pencil for it's wearability and natural looking color options!

After just one use I noticed a major difference in the blackheads and pore size on my nose. This product helped my makeup go on smoother and better looking as a result. It is a very strong product, so I only recommend using it on your oiliest areas and probably only once a day to prevent drying. All together, a great blackhead reducing astringent!

This is the first ever eye cream I have purchased and am pretty satisfied with the results. After a week I noticed my dark under eye circles had diminished and the eye area was smoother and less wrinkled. The only complaint I have is that sometimes it tends to cause small dry patches on my eyelid. This may be due to the retinol in the formula, but I keep using it regardless. This jar will last quite a while, but next time I will be choosing a more expensive product. Good starter eye cream!

I had high hopes for this product after seeing a rave review by a makeup artist on YouTube, but it sadly didn't live up to any of my expectations. It does not cover well, never sets (stays sticky all day), is WAY too shiny and shows lines in my skin I didn't know I had! It pools in oily spots and is, in no way, buildable. If you try and build it, it just gets stickier. It looks gorgeous right after you apply it but within 30 minutes, you're an oily blotchy mess. The only good thing is the color matching capability, the shade I chose matches my skin perfectly. I wanted to try a dewy finish foundation, but will steer clear of this runny awful mess!

I bought this foundation to use everyday instead of my coveted Tarte liquid foundation that I'm trying to conserve! At first, I hated this foundation! As other users have said, it is VERY thick but for me that wasn't the main issue. I tried applying with a fluffy foundation brush and it went on horribly cakey. The finish was terrible and I couldn't get it un-streaky or properly blended. I had all but given up on this product until I saw a YouTube video that suggested applying it with a damp beauty blender...ah hah! Applying with the beauty blender completely changed the look and coverage of this foundation. It now blends easily and has a natural satin/matte finish. It wears all day with the exception of oily patches around my nose, but I don't oil blot because, as a teacher, I just don't have a spare minute in my day to fuss with makeup (if I did, it might make all the difference!) This is a great everyday foundation with great color match capabilities and very long wear.

I received this product for an Xmas gift last December and have used it every day since! It came with the sensitive brush head, which I liked, but after finding a Groupon for a set of 2 normal brush heads, I find they work even better. The Mia 2 has 2 speeds; I don't find myself ever using the higher setting because it feels a little too rough for my liking, but some may prefer the ability to change speeds. I love how it pulses to tell you when to switch to another part of your face to ensure you don't over do it on any one spot. For such a simple device it is so powerful! I also love how it shuts off after a minute, if it were up to me I would probably wreck my face going over problem areas and potentially causing damage :( The only downside I experienced (like other reviewers have mentioned) was a purging phase for about a month after I started using it. I read online that it was impossible for the skin to "purge" to get used to a new cleansing routine, but I'm living proof! Whatever happened, it was unpleasant and I experienced minor breakouts, but it was definitely not severe or troublesome enough to stop using it. My skin feels so soft and exfoliated and I love that I can use it everyday. The website says you can use it twice a day, but I don't wash my face in the morning, (just use a toner) so this wasn't an option for me. This device and Philosophy's Purity cleanser are a match made in heaven! These two products together have transformed my skin. I still get the occasional hormonal/stress breakout but those will never be avoided. It comes with a cute travel case and the brush heads only have to be replaced every three months, so there aren't huge upkeep costs. It comes with a wall charger that is fast and easy to use and the Mia will tell you (by vibrating twice) when it's time for a charge (around once a month). I am always amazed at how much makeup comes off on the brush head even AFTER removing my makeup before cleansing! Love my Mia 2!

I have had the same small tube of this product for over a year and sadly have just managed to squeeze out the last few applications! This product works so well it's almost dangerous! By that I mean make sure you are positive whatever you apply on top is the shadow you want or else you will have to wipe your whole eye off and start over! This product locks your eyeshadow almost to the point it's hard to blend out once applied, so I would suggest applying a light base shadow before adding crease/contour shades to ensure blendability and decrease the likelihood of a sharp unerasable line! I also apply to the lower lash line to help my eyeliner stay. I will defiantly be repurchasing this product and may try one of their newer shades!
