The fluidlines I think are one of MAC's most diverse products to use. They can be applied as an eyeliner or used as a great eyeshadow base, which is what I usually use it for. Blacktrack is great for creating a smoky eye. I would recommend setting it with eyeshadow though, whether your using it as an eyeliner or a base because it could smudge or crease if you have oilier skin, which I do. They can dry out fast so be sure to put the lid back on tightly after every use.

The first few times I used this it left a red mark above my upper lip, but I have sensitive skin so it was probably just me. Its simple to use and has the perfect applicator on the tip to apply the product without getting your hands and fingers all gooey. Doesnt smell very good but what hair remover does? Its also fast, you only have to leave it on a few minutes and then wipe away with a damp washcloth. The only problem I had was that it doesnt keep hair away for very long so you need to use it probably once a week. Waxing would be a better alternative for longer hair removal but I cant stand the pain and redness of wax so this is a great alternative.

The brush holder on the top is convenient but only holds travel sized brushes, great to pair with Marks 5 piece travel brush set. The case itself is just one big case, no dividers or anything so your products get all jumbled up. I like having dividers to keep organized so this case didnt do it for me. Its not small enough to carry around in your purse but could be good for travel. I have the one with glitter on it and the glitter is just so messy it flakes off all the time and creates a mess =(

Great product for the price. But, for me it is too thick for foundation. I like thinner foundation brushes just because foundation can spread easily if you are using a liquid formula and it creates a more sutle coverage and its easier to blend. This brush can cause streaking so be sure to prep skin thoroughly and with a primer before applying foundation. I have been using this brush for about a year now and the end part of the brush is starting to come loose so I am afraid it might just break soon =(

I have only recently started liking this product just because for one, I was really hesitant to have that much shimmer on my face, and two I didnt know where to apply it. I found that it really creates a nice all over glow when you mix it with your regular foundation or tinted moisturizer. It makes for a subtle glow thats is not too shimmery and wont make you look oily. I dont like the sponge tip applicator so I put it on a metal palette first and then use a brush to apply it on spots where I feel I need a little glow. Great product for the price as Mark and Avon products always are affordable. I think I have the Champagne color which is great for any skintone.

These brushes are good for someone who is just beginning to use makeup. The only one I didnt particularly care for was the powder brush. It tends to shed and is a bit too stiff for me. The other brushes are good for the price, who can beat the price right?! Plus they come in a travel size so its great for when you travel or to keep in your purse for touchups throughout the day. For me, I think brushes are something to invest in because they should last a long time and brushes can really make a difference when applying makeup. If you want great quality brushes, try MAC, Smashbox or Nars.

If you want color, get MUFE eyeshadows! They come in tons of different colors, the size of each shadow is HUGE, long lasting, and they blend easily. Best used over a primer but not necessary if you want just a wash of color since they are so highly pigmented. They glide on so smoothly and they dont clump in certain spots like some eyeshadows do. Great investment for eyeshadows because they will last soooo long.

These eyeshadows come in a variety of colors. However, their quality isnt the best. I have three single colors and I hardly ever use them because they are not very pigmented, you have to reapply many times to get the color to pop. I would use MAC, MUFE, and Nars before the Urban Decay ones. One plus about them is their packaging. I like how they have a clear top so you can see each color, some brands have packaging where you need to open every eyeshadow to see which color you need, so I like that about the UD ones.

If you havent tried this eyeshadow primer yet, TRY IT! I have tried so many other primers and I always seem to go back to this one. The consistency is perfect, not watery and not too thick. Perfect amount comes off on the sponge applicator. Enhances eyeshadow color amazingly. Great staying power. Doesnt crease. Lasts long.

Miss Dior Cherie is a very unique fragrance. In their layers of notes it contains scents that include Caramel Popcorn and Strawberry. It is a very feminine fragrance that is very sweet smelling and makes a bold statment since it can be overpowering. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous and their print ads and commercials are so cute and playful which depict the scent perfectly. I dont think it is a fragrance for anyone because it does change according to your own body chemistry. If you are thinking about buying it, test it out first. Go to a department store and spray one pump directly onto your wrist. Dont rub it in but just pat it gently. It may smell at first like alcohol which is normal, but after a few minutes it will start to warm up on your skin. Walk around for 15-20 minutes which is the time it takes for fragrances to settle in and reveal their true scent. Dior is a luxury designer brand so expect to be paying close to $100 for the 3.4oz bottle. Christmas, Valentines Day and Mothers Day are when they usually come out with special value sets.
