The Body Shop Almond Oil Nail & Cuticle Treatment

Love this stuff!

I have purchased many cuticle treatments and this is the only one that has stayed with me. It is easy to use (unlike products in other types of containers), you can stick it in your purse (size of a pen so not bulky) and there is no mess because you can put it exactly where you want it with applicator. And it is all natural to boot. I bought these as stocking stuffers for people for Christmas - great and easy to use! Oh...and it works!

NARS Blush

Nars Blush

I have this blush in the color Orgsm. Everyone goes on and on about this particular blush (maybe because of the name), but honestly I think it is just okay. The color is great, but my problem is with the sparkle factor. I like to look natural and this color definitely has sparkle to it when you put it on...it is obvious you are wearng makeup. I usually save it for going out at night, but don't wear it to work. Maybe I need to try another color?

Benefit Benetint Pocket Pal

Benetint - Great Product, Bad Packaging

I love love love Benetint. I love the color it gives my lips and it is fairly natural looking. I always have this stuff on hand and use it as a base layer on my lips. Sometimes I apply lipstick, lipgloss or chapstick over it, but it is part of my routine. The only complaint I have (and why it isn't getting the highest rating) is that I have problems with it leaking. When it leaks, you lose a lot of product and it stains everything. Ruined a Kate Spade cosmetic bag I had. If they could work on the packaging I would give it 100%.

MAC Studio Tech

MAC Studio Tech

I just discovered this foundation and so far so good. I was able to get an almost exact color match NW15 and I apply it with a foundation brush (I like the coverage better than with the pad it comes with). It isn't heavy or thick and evens out my skin tone nicely. Sometimes I use powder to set it and sometimes I just wear it alone. I've also been able to build the coverage somewhat in areas that need heavier coverage. This is my new favorite foundation. And I love that I can carry it with me in my purse for touch ups throughout the day - something I would never have tried with a liquid.

Tarte Natural Cheek Stain

Natural Looking Blush

I've been a fan of Tarte cheek stain in Flush from the beginning. It looks natural on my fair skin and feels like it isn't even there. You can use it over foundation or on bare skin and it never looks like I have anything on my face - just flushed cheeks. I also have sensitive skin and break out easily and Tarte cheek stain never irritates my skin or causes acne.
