MAC Select Cover-Up

It's all in the formula

The MAC associate was very insightful. She said that when one (such as me) has cool tones, they should have a warmer concealer. She was right! I was reluctant to try since the NW35 in the potted concealer seemed too warm for my dark circles and I wear NC35 in the select tint. Surprisingly, the same NW35 shade blended well, brightened my skin, and covered those darned dark circles.

MAC Eye Shadow

Lasts forever!

The product is GREAT. I bought Beauty Marked about seven years ago back in high school (I know, not recommended) and it still works the same way today. I use Sketch almost every day and it is very blendable. It's a dark purple-brickish color. Lasts all day, but washes off easily. The only one I wasn't satisfied with was Pink Venus. Otherwise, stock up on these.

MAC Select Tint SPF 15

New everyday staple

You know a product is good when even the wrong color blends really well. I've been looking for something with minimal coverage and this was THE product. It gave a little more than I asked for, but I didn't realize I'd needed it. The water-based, oil-free formula eliminates the need for powder and doesn't look cakey. It looks natural and feels as if I'm not wearing any makeup. The only drawback is that it wipes off easily. But I can't complain with all the good things this does.

Benefit Benetint

God, this stuff is great

This is a staple in my makeup routine. It's great on cheeks if you blend well, though I recommend applying before moisturizer. When used underneath lip gloss, only the clear gloss will come off on coffee cups and straws so the color stays on your lips.

Neutrogena MoistureShine Lip Soother

Not as bad as other reviewers think

I like to use BeneFit Benetint underneath. It looks great and personally, I love the tingling sensation. It makes me feel like I have fuller lips. It smells good, nice packaging, a little sticky, but overall not bad.

Nars Cream Eyeshadow

Thank God for the color

Color IS great (Corfu), makes my eyes pretty, but only for a few hours. I would hate this product if the color weren't perfect...so I continue to use it.
