Maybelline New York Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Powder Foundation

Switched from Bare Essentials

I had run out of my bare minerals and needed to find a quick replacement, so my bf brought this home for me and it actually mached my skintone better than the Bare Essentials version. It gives me the same coverage as well.

Degree Women Degree for Women Fine Fragrance Collection

Classic Romance

I love the mesll of the classic romance! It offers me better protection than the other "Clinical Protection" of other brands, but if I forget to put it on at night, it doesn't protect as well. I love the scent so much that I purchased the matching body spray- I was wearing only the deoderant and spray and my mother asked me what I was wearing. As long as I can remember to put it on at night this is def my fav deoderant

Sally Hansen Mega Shine Extended Wear Top Coat

Happy with the Results

I'm pretty happy with this product- It really does make it as smooth as glass! But be aware that it seems to "melt" the different layers of your manicure together. This is ideal for regular french manicure, but beware of using it on 2 very contrasting colors- I did a zebra pattern on my toes with a black base and white stripes, and when I applied the Mega Shine to the dried layers, it started to blend the stripes into the base color. So then I used a regular base coat, then followed with the Mega Shine.

Olay Blackhead Clearing Scrub

Just right for me

I have been using this for a few days now and it has made a huge difference in the texture of my skin! I get really nervous about using new products on my face but have been breaking out lately so I thought I would give this a whirl. It gives my skin the same feeling of the Proactive face wash- the scrubbers are not too harsh (The apricot scrub for example feels like it shreds my skin!) I use it day and night and always follow with Oil of Olay complete moisturizer with spf 15. I have combination skin and these 2 products together have really been good to my skin : ) And the price along with the availability is awesome! No need to make a special trip out to the mall or to order online- you can find it anywhere!

Olay Complete All Day Moisturizer with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 15 - Normal

Daily and Nightly Use

I use this everyday after I wash my face in the morning and at night. It's not greasy or oily at all and it makes my skin feel perfectly moisturized. I also love the fact that it has the spf 15 in it which is something that I always look for- I don't want to get wrinkly! LOL I also have a tendency to break out and this does not irritate my skin at all. And best of all, it's not expensive!

Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss

Always on hand

I have been using these for about 2 years and I love them. They have great colors and they give me just enough color- I prefer a generally nude lip, so they're perfect for me. There are a couple downsides: I don't love the smell of all of them- Mochaboom is my fav, but I don't always feel like smelling like mocha AND my perfume...ewww. And if you're REALLY good and don't lick or rub the gloss off it has a tendency to get a bit tacky- not so tacky that it gets stringy, but tacky enough to be annoying. Despite the downsides, I always have at least 2 different shades in my purse. I usually have to reapply every 2-3 hours.

Rimmel London Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Liner Pencil

Great for the price

I use the 071 Pure White pencil on the inner 3rd of my eyelid when I use white eyeshadow- it helps the shadow keep from creasing or losing intensity. I also line my bottom lashes to make my eyes look larger. This was certainly moderately priced and is a bargain for the product you get.

Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Bronzer, Blush & Eye Shadow

Best Multipurpose Product

I use the Waikiki Strip everyday-I usually use it as a blush or to contour, and I also use it for eyeshadow when I'm in a rush to get ready and just need a little something to brighten my eyes. This strip and a little lipgloss and I'm out the door! Great for applying a little make up before heading out to the beach.

L'Oreal Paris HiP High Intensity Pigments Metallic Shadow Duo

Awesome!

I purchased the Sculpted Duo- A mauve-y pink and dark purple. I LOVE these colors! The colors are very saturated and they stay on very well. They seem very high end at a great price. There's a cute little mirror & a little foam applicator in the bottom compartment for touch-ups on the go. I will definitely continue to buy this product- I just hope they come out with additional colors!

Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Color

Not Impressed

I have used a few of these and I have to agree with a few of the other reviewers- its really thin and looks awful on my nails.
