Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque

Bleh

Leaving a spot of this on a pimple overnight will kill any pimple I have, but it makes my skin STINK after I wash it off. Smells like eggs or some chemical smell (someone else mentioned it smells like Nair cream, thats a close description too). There must be something in this that reacts with my skin causing this smell. The smell doesn't go away after I rinse the mask off either.. I have to be careful not to use this on the same day I have a date because I worry that anyone close to my face must smell it too. No amount of scented face wash removes the smell either.. it lasts for at least 12 hours for me. So this does work to clear up my skin and remove blackheads, but the smell hardly makes it worth it.

Rimmel London Renew & Lift Foundation

Eh, you could find better

Picked this up because I saw great reviews on it. I found this to be sticky, and a bit cakey. I don't have oily skin, but this foundation always seemed to turn an orange shade on my pale yellow toned skin - making me look sort of tan instead of porcelain like I prefer. It seemed to accentuate my pores on my nose too. The product also has a strong odor to it - a chemically rose type smell almost. Also hard to wash off. I would not buy this again.

Benefit BADgal Lash

Fabulous

This is a very wet mascara with a longer drying time, but as long as you know that ahead of time .. it just plain works to give me the longest eyelashes I have ever had without wearing fake ones. Love this!

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

Actually works

This is the only eyeshadow primer I've tried that actually works. It goes on easily, dries fast, and really keeps my eyeshadow looking vibrant and prevents it from caking or creasing all day long. I never let myself run out of this.
