This is one of my favorite foundations. First of all, it covers amazingly. You can choose how much coverage you want by layering it. It says it can double as a concealer and that definitely isn't a lie. Unless I've got a really obvious problem-area on my face, I can now usually skip concealer altogether! The consistency of this product is kind of like a stick of concealer. You're better off applying it with a foundation brush, as it makes the finish more natural. You really don't need much to cover your entire face, and since it's a solid stick, it lasts FOREVER! Some people seem to be complaining about how it's oily, but as long as you set it with powder, you'll be completely fine. I have somewhat oily skin, and even though this foundation claims to not have to be set, it looks nicer if I do put powder on afterwards. Another plus to this foundation is its staying power. It lasts through EVERYTHING! And wearing a primer only makes it last longer! It's waterproof, so you can even sweat and get your face wet and it'll still be there. I was amazed when the lady at Ulta put some on her hand, ran it under water, and the water just beaded up and came off without making the foundation look ANY different. Try it yourself. I also love how it doesn't clog my pores, despite it having a really thick creamy texture. It's a bit pricey at $40, but it's really completely worth it!

These are really good eye shadows as long as you use primer first. They come in really pretty colors and are really pigmented. They also blend really nicely too. I like MAC colors a little bit more, but these usually get chosen over those because the price. They're so inexpensive! The quality makes them worth way over the price. There are so many different shades and finishes that compliment every skin tone and eye color, it's really hard to choose just one. With these, I can experiment with colors I wouldn't normally wear and not blow on my money on something I'll only potentially wear twice. It's kind of a win-win. I definitely recommend buying these eye shadows. You won't be disappointed.

I wish I could afford more of these babies. They're just so amazing. They last absolutely forever, and they're super pigmented. They're super smooth and satiny and are so easy to blend! They don't crease either, even when I don't wear primer. The container flips open so there's no mess, and you get a lot of product for what you pay for! The colors that show up on your lid are exactly what they look like in the pot, and they're all gorgeous to begin with. There are more than 150 shades to choose from, and they're all gorgeous and I wish I could afford them all. If you're not willing to spend a lot on eyeshadow, you could save some money by buying one of their palettes. I don't think I've ever run out of a MAC eye shadow. They just go on and and on and never run out! Just that fact makes the product worth the price. I feel like everyone should have a few of these in their makeup bag for everyday use. I currently only have 2, but I plan on adding more to my collection soon, because they're just so great!

This is one of the most amazing glosses I've ever tried! It's not sticky at all and it's so gorgeous! The tube is super cute and it's got a light on it! The only thing I don't like is that it's really expensive. If you're willing to spend that type of money on a lipgloss you WON'T be disappointed. I recommend it!

I'm a huge polish whore, and have been searching for the perfect top coat for a long time now. My prayers were answered when I found this polish. Not only does it dry SUPER fast (I tend to put many layers of polish on and it dries them all in around 5 minutes. This is compared to a few hours with normal clear nail polish) and it keeps all the colors super bright and pretty! It also keeps my nails from chipping for a long time. I actually start getting bored of the color or design before it starts getting gross and chipping off! It might be a little expensive, but it's definitely worth it and I refuse to buy anything else. Nothing else compares at all to the quality of this stuff. It's a must have for all polish lovers! My only complaint is the stuff starts thickening halfway through the bottle, but all you need is polish thinner and it goes right back to normal.

I got a few of these for free with an offer, and I really wanted to like them. The colors were nice enough, but they went on really streaky and it took a lot of coats (at least 3) to get a solid color. About a day later it was already chipping! I would never actually pay money for this, and even though I got it for free, I wish I could return it. Save yourself some time and money, and don't buy it.

It's really hard to find a blush that works on my extremely pale skin, but this gives me a really pretty, natural looking flush that's definitely worth the price of this blush! I'm not sure if it actually boosts your mood, but it's so cute that it makes me smile whenever I'm using it. It goes on really smoothly and evenly too. I definitely recommend it to everyone!

I bought this while I was on my search for a dupe for the extremely expensive Meteorites I've been wanting for a long time. I was so disappointed by this product. It claimed it would even out and brighten my skin. It didn't do any of this. All it did was make my skin shimmery, and not in a good way. It even gave my skin a little bit of a pinkish coverage, which was NOT attractive. I can see how they're able to market it as an iluminator, but seriously. The overpowering weird shimmer was all over my face. It did control shine, but the shimmer defeated the purpose completely. Also, the puff and brush that came with it were completely useless. They honestly didn't do anything. I wouldn't buy this again, and it's definitely not worth the 13 dollars I paid for it.

I've tried so many perfumes, and I'm such a perfume hoarder (I have around 10 in my arsenal right now), but this is definitely in the top 3 when it comes to my favorites. I know most perfume bottles are really cute, but this one...just WOW. It's impossible to resist! The scent is really light and flowery and nice. It's really girly, which I love, and it doesn't smell strongly like alcohol like a lot of perfumes do. The bottle is pretty big for what you pay for it (since perfume is generally so darn expensive), and it's lasted me a long time. I'd buy it again because it smells so good!

I can see why lots of people don't like Benetint, but personally I love it. I'm extremely pale, so almost anything with any color whatsoever shows up on my face. This is why I love this product so much. I can build up as much color as I need, which usually isn't much. A lot of blushes are way too pigmented for my skin and aren't natural looking, but this honestly looks like my skin! I love how I can build up as much or as little color as I want. I don't really like this as much as Posietint, which I use on a regular basis, but I have a travel size and I keep it in my purse for touch-ups. It really does last a long time, though. If you're using it for your lips, you can layer things over it and everything, and doesn't really dry them out at all.
