Goody Ouchless Elastics

Ponytail saver

These are great for pulling my hair back in ponytails for an every day look and also for holding my hair back when I go to the gym. I have very thick hair that goes halfway down my back. This keeps my hair back with ease and usually I can use one two times at least until they stretch out too much. For someone with thinner hair they could probably use one for a handful of times before it stretches out. A great feature on these is that there is no metal on it to break hair. I have about 5 packs in my house and always buy them when there are sales at Walgreens every few months.

Goody Simple Styles Spin Pin

Almost perfect

Almost perfect is the look I get with goody spin pins. I am able to pull my hair back into an easy going bun no scrunchy necessary lol. It is nice to make a change from always pulling my hair back into a ponytail. I decided to try it when I saw that good housekeeping had given it it's seal of approval which I usually trust. They did not let me down.

EcoTools Bamboo Angled Eyeliner Brush

Perfection

I picked up this product when I had a coupon for a free Eco Tools product. At first it sat around in its packaging for a few months before I finally decided to try it out. What a waste of time. I decided to use this with a Loreal eyeliner the brush it came with was too thick and scratchy. I used the eyeliner with the brush and it went on and was soft and silky. It gave me a precise line. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for this type of brush. It goes to show that you don't have to spend a lot of money to get a great product.

Urban Decay Cream Shadow

intense color

I have this in asphalt. I was a little intimidated with other reviews before I tried this. I had read that they chunky glitter bothered others. I actually found this very wearable on its own. It didn't occur to me to use a primer underneath this. I applied this on its own and spread it evenly over the entire lid and it looked gorgeous especially for a night out on the town. A one and done smoky eye.

The Body Shop Lip Color

Who knew

I haven't used any cosmetic products from the body shop in about a decade. I didn't realize I was missing out. I bought two of these lipsticks and am completely happy. I have them in 52 which is a soft corally red. I also fell in love with 57 which is a pretty bright soft pink. It looks a lot brighter in the packaging, but much more wearable once applied. I got these on a great sale and will definitely be buying more when I run out. They need a few swipes for optimal color saturation. I wish they were a teeny bit creamier.

Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector

Leightweight

There are a few good things about this product. I like the yummy vanilla scent. I like the fuzzy applicator which you don't see very often as it is very soft on the lips. It imparts a light sheen to the lips and leaves them feeling soft. If it was a little bit cheaper I would probably buy it again. I don't see any cons to this product.

Sephora Fresh Gloss

Nice and lightweight

I got a set of these for my birthday from Sephora. They have been a nice addition to my collection. They give a light shine to the lips without feeling gloppy or too thick. There are also a good selection of colors. I really like it in rosy glow.

Lancome Juicy Tubes

Very thick

I have a few of these lipglosses and I love how shiny they leave my lips. They do feel a little to thick though. I have also gotten my hair stuck in my lips on a breezy day when I wear juicy tubes. I am a sucker for the holiday gift sets of these because they are so affordable and the colors are so beautiful. I usuallly wait until one is in my gift with purchase and don't buy them outright. The tubes do last for a long time on a positive note.

Bare Escentuals Lip Gloss

Just okay

I got a set of these so the price was okay and I could try a few different colors. They are a basic lipgloss nothing that stands out. I would not buy these at full price. There are better products for a lot less.

bareMinerals Pretty Amazing Lipcolor

Full coverage

I received a sample of this from my local sephora in confidence. I would describe this as a lip cream. It comes out of a tube and you put it on like a gloss, but has a thicker full coverage consistency. The shade of confidence was a little much for my fair complexion. I had too blot it a lot so that it was wearable for me. I would love to try this in another color.
