  • E.L.F. Smudge Eye Brush

    This brush is not bad. I have lots of elf brushes, and like most of them, this is one of the newer ones, and I feel like the quality has gone down. The brush is not terrible, but is sort of scratchy- some of the bristles are ticker and are more rough than others. Also it sheds a bit. I still give it 7 stars, cause it was just a dollar, but won't repurchase.

  • E.L.F. Blending Eye Brush

    I like most of ELF's brushes. This one is nice and soft, it doesn't shed, or fall apart in any other way. The only thing I'm not crazy about is that it feels a little big, but that's a matter of personal preference. Great product for just 1$! Update: got another one recently, and it is significantly smaller, the bristles are shorter, and some are pretty scratchy. Also, it is shedding... the quality got much worse in just a little over a year. Hope the company starts paying attention to quality more again...

  • E.L.F. Essential Super Glossy Lip Shine

    I got this gloss in Angel- the clear one, as turned out with some glittery/shimmery particles. You get quite a bit of gloss for 1$, and it smells ok (this particular one smells like grapes), tastes pretty sweet too. The glittery thingies aren't too noticeable, so that's good too. And the gloss isn't too sticky. What I didn't like is that the gloss is way too thick, and if applied over a lipstick, everything turns into quite a bit of a mess. Once it melts onto lips it is more bearable, but that takes time. I don't know it it's just the clear gloss that's so thick, but I'm not sure I'll dare to try other shades now. Other than that, the packaging is good- no sponges or brushes that pick up what-not from your lips and outside environment.

  • E.L.F. Mineral Moisturizing Lip Tint SPF 8

    This tinted moisturizer is ok, but I wouldn't buy it again. First of all the package is really tiny, there's not much product there at all. I know it's inexpensive, but even for 3$ it's too little. Another thing I didn't like was the texture, looking at pictures and descriptions I expected this to be more sheer and matte (as in no shimmer or glitter), but this product turned out to be rather thick and it does have some shimmer in it. Not terrible, but not something I'll consider buying again.

  • L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Mascara Carbon Black

    I love, love, love this mascara! It is absolutely amazing. The color is nice intense black, which is not very common for drugstore mascaras. It makes lashes full, soft, and long. It almost seems like you're wearing false lashes (in a good way). I have been a fan of original Voluminous mascaras, but this is by far my favorite. I love the full brush, I actually bent it to have a curved brush, just because I find it creates the best look on my eye. The formula is quite creamy (not for fans of super-thin mascaras), but it is very easy to apply, doesn't smudge or flake throughout the day, and I had a chance to test it in pretty much all weather conditions. The lashes stay full and pretty. For best results I zig-zag the brush at the base a couple of times, and then run the brush through the entire length 2-3 times too, so that the tips of lashes look natural. You can totally layer this mascara without getting any clumps or lashes glued together, no additional tools needed. Just make sure not to wait for the first layer to dry, cause if it is dry, I suspect, it might clump a bit, and might look thick on the tips. The packaging is standard for voluminous mascaras- nice plain tube, nice brush, everything made well. The price is amazing- you get this unbelievable mascara for a very reasonable price, and the bonus is super full, soft, gorgeous lashes. I have used a bunch of these already, and will keep buying this mascara. Thanks L'Oreal, please don't discontinue this great product!

  • N.Y.C. New York Color Smooth Skin Liquid Makeup

    This foundation doesn't blend well, makes it obvious that you're wearing foundation, and just doesn't feel good. THe color is kind of strange, and I don't like this type of packaging. Will not repurchase.

  • N.Y.C. New York Color Liquid Eyeliner

    I'm really surprised to see so many bad reviews here, but perhaps they have changed the formula recently, because this eyeliner is really nice, and I'm very hard to please when it comes to eyeliners. I've got mine in black, and the color is gorgeous- great, intense pigmentation. The texture is good- not too liquid and not too thick, it goes on evenly and smoothly. The brush is one of those thinner ones with longer flexible bristles, so if you like thick inflexible brushes, you might want to try something else. I find this brush easy to use, and I have no problem applying the liner evenly. I like that I can easily make a thin line close to my lashes. I haven't noticed it taking any longer to dry than other liquid eyeliners, so I don't know why other reviewers complained about this... I've been using the liner for about 2 months now, almost every day, in different weather and life situations, and it stayed put from the moment I put it on early in the morning to the moment I removed makeup at night. The color didn't fade, nothing flaked, nothing smudged- perfect line all day in all weather conditions despite it not being waterproof. A big plus for me is that it is easy to remove when it's time to do so. I will definitely buy this product again (hey, it's just 3$ for that beautiful black), and I highly recommend it, because they've made it right this time.

  • N.Y.C. New York Color Classic Brow & Liner Pencils

    This eyeliner is very nice, and the price is amazing. I have one in taupe, and use it for my eyebrows. The color is nice, it is easy to blend. The texture is nice too- creamy, but not too soft. You get quite a lot for just 1$, and the pencil itself is made very well: sharpens nicely without breaking or crumbling in any way. The clear plastic cap stays put, and is good enough quality not to crack after 2 uses. Certainly a good product worth trying, and is very easy on the budget. Will buy again.

  • E.L.F. Studio Powder Brush

    Great brush! I've recently discovered how great it is for applying foundation. First of all, you get to build the coverage gradually and smoothly, secondly, despite the thickness of bristles, they don't soak up the foundation, so you don't waste much of it (for real, try it! it's so amazing!). I This brush is also easy to wash and dry fast. It is very soft, put together well, looks and feels expensive. A must-have! And you can't possibly beat the price!

  • Caress Daily Silk Silkening Body Wash

    Caress body washes are simply amazing! It's the only bodywash that doesn't leave my skin dry and flaky. I've tried lots of other bodywashes (including Dove, and stuff for babies), but only Caress was non-drying for real. Most scents Caress produces are great, the wash is nice and thick- you need just a little bit, the price is good. It is absolutely the best! Turns every shower into heavenly experience. Will definitely buy again, and would recommend it over and over!
