L'Oreal Paris HiP Studio Secrets Professional Color Truth Cream Eyeliner

Great for the price.

This appears to be vegan, is easy to apply and lasts all day. I get minimal smudging with this and the pot will last a long time.

Urban Decay Deluxe Eyeshadow

Even better than the originals.

These are not for the faint of heart. They have a lot of rich, bold color and a great texture to boot.

Nars Duo Eyeshadow

I admit it....

I like NARS but these are not the best duo eyeshadows for the price. Milani has better shadows and they are under $10US.

Lancome Blush Subtil Shimmer

Nice but not the best.

It's good but there are better blushes with more finely milled richly pigmented textures.

NARS Blush

Worth the hype.

Yes, a certain pinky peach blush is that good. Yes, Desire is one of the best pinks around. Yes, Albatross is the greatest candlelit highlighter.

Lancome Magique Blush

A nice twist on blush.

The color is actually pretty concentrated and the texture is a nice break from the usual cream or powder. while the package is more posh this is basically Maybelline's Dream Mouse blush.

Nars The Multiple

Great colors.

No matter what kind of highlighting effect you want NARS seems to have a multiple for it. Pearly glow, bronzed, etc. Many colors are also great for cream blush.

Aveda Flax Sticks # 5 Eye Smudger Brush

Great brushes.

They are so soft one wonders why bother with natural hair.

Studio Gear #1 Kabuki Brush

I admit it..

I haven't purchased this brush. There is a sample of this at my local Ulta and it is the softest, densest Kabuki brush I've ever felt. Would I trade my Too Faced brush which costs half as much. Well, no.

Chanel Rouge Hydrabase Creme Lipstick

Expensive and luxurious.

While I prefer cheaper lipsticks like NYX, this will feel great on your lips. It should for what you pay.
