Milani Liquif'eye Metallic Eye Liner Pencil

longest wearing eyeliner I've found!

I have super oily monolids and I've always been skeptical of using eyeliner on them because it usually takes so much work to get them to show up. Not Milani - this is the most pigmented (it's as good as gel liner), creamy eyeliner I've ever tried. It goes on as smoothly as a dream. Even though it's very smudge-proof it still doesn't last an entire day on me, even with primer, but it has lasted me 8-ish hours which is amazing since I rub my eyes a lot.

Maybelline New York Great Lash Washable Mascara

worst mascara ever

I don't know if my lashes (super straight, short, Asian) just aren't right for the mascara or what. I had super high hopes for this because it's always listed as great on all the top beauty products lists but it smudges and doesn't do ANYTHING for my eyelashes. It's a waste of $5 and I'd rather buy one of the other Maybelline mascaras with the money.

Jack Black Double Duty Face Moisturizer SPF 20

Favorite moisturizer!

I'm not a guy but Sephora sent me a sample of this moisturizer and I was hooked on the spot; I bought a bottle. The scent is light and refreshing - not overly masculine, but clean. It doesn't clog my pores or make me overly oily for my sensitive/combination skin and I really like how it has SPF 20. I put this on in the morning before my make up primer and it's perfect. All in all, this is a fantastic lightweight moisturizer and don't let the fact that it's a brand directed towards dudes stop you from buying this - a lot of women on Sephora also like it if you go by their reviews. :)

Pond's Dry Skin Cream

Classic standby

I tend to buy a bunch of different moisturizers but this is always my standby at night whenever I don't want to worry about messing my skin (sensitive/combination). It's great for the winter when my skin's drier and the scent is inoffensive and it does its job.

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moist

moisturizing but could be better

This is my favorite deep conditioning standby; it smells like a tropical paradise (if you don't like coconut, don't buy it!) and it's always super cheap even when it's not on sale. I wish it were SLIGHTLY better, but it's very good for the price tag. My hair is super soft afterwards - I just wish it also did something to help with volume!
