Maybelline New York Dream Matte Powder

wow

So far this stuff works well w/ my skin. It really goes on invisible on my skin but makes my skin matte. I have to say this does control the oil for a few hours. Great for the price and as good as my old MAC Blot powder.

Sephora Whipped Body Delights

smells good but not moisturizing enough for me

I got the Coconut scent and I love the smell BUT for the winter months this just does not do it for me. I need something much more moisturizing like Palmers. You would think this stuff would be really moisturizing considering it being thick but it isn't, for me at least. I think I will probably use this during the warmer months but for winter I will stick to Palmers.

Desert Essence Natural Facial Cleansing Pads with Tea Tree Oil

Update...

My bf actually bought me this and I was very skeptical at first but after a few times of use I notice my skin looking more vibrant and clear looking. This stuff is very strong and sometimes if my skin is too dry or sensitive I splash water afterwards to dilute the stuff. It also keeps my oily skin at bay. Two-thumbs up ! Update: I still love this stuff when I get a pimple...it helps speed up the process. Now I would not use this during the winter because this stuff is so strong and will make those with dry skin dryer then usual. What I like to do is cut the pads up in pieces and spot treat areas that need treating.

E.L.F. Organizer

I got the maroon color

I read some good and bad reviews on this one and I guess I wasn't expecting much but when my package arrived I was surprised how cute the organizer was. I wish it could have doubled as a clutch it they added a little stringy handle thingy on the side but it is still cute. I put most of my brushes and makeup in there. Also, I wish it had more room for my brushes...it seems it only has like 4-5 slots for brushes...and I have a lot of brushes so I am going to need more room then that! But still a decent purchase.

E.L.F. Luscious Liquid Lipstick

just ok

I was thinking Stila but no way! The lip brush is way way too stiff and all the colors look similar. The feel of the lip gloss is thick and sticky which is not what I like. I ended up giving some away to friends. No Bueno.

E.L.F. Studio Eyeshadow "C" Brush

Good as an eyeliner brush

I really like using this as an eyeliner brush (w/ the smoky effect) because the brush is quite stuff and it fits just right under and on my eyelid when I was to smudge my eyeliner. I don't see using this as a concealer brush though...too stiff for my liking.

e.l.f. Studio Eyebrow Kit

Not sure

I thought this would be something like the Benefit one (which I love but can't fork up the money) but it isn't. I do like the tinted wax but I HATE HATE HATE the eyebrow powder it comes with because it is way too light (even though I got the darkest color) and it does not look natural. I am glad I paid a few bucks...I think I will only use the wax then move on to my beloved Benefit.

Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Lotion

Winter skin

This is just what I needed for winter dry skin.

E.L.F. Studio Contour Brush

wow

I am so surprised how soft this brush is...the quality is amazing and it's dirt cheap! I am in love...did I say this brush was cheap?! Amazing!

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

this product is a must!

I bought this after reading many raves. This stuff really does keep eyeliner and eyeshadow in place. I never thought that a primer would make such a difference. This primer does keep my eyeliner on most of the day w/ out smudging. Although the price is a little high for my liking it's worth it because it will last for awhile. I only use a little around my eyes.
