Revlon PhotoReady Sculpting Blush Palette

Uh boy...sigh.

I'm giving this two stars for two reasons. 1. This product made me appreciate my other products more. 2. It's the perfect size to stick under a wobbly table leg. Seriously though, I love many Revlon products, but this is just a waste of money. There is no pigmentation. Primer, no primer, doesn't matter. I used brushes, puffs, fingers, nothing. I even broke the dang powder because I couldn't believe that there was so little color...still close to nothing. So, unless I was the special winner of a bad batch, this product is a paperweight.

Maybelline New York Dream Smooth Mousse

Great for my dry skin

After testing about 17 million (obviously I'm being literal) different foundations for my confused dry / combo skin, this has been the only one so far that has not made my face look like I'm trying to announce my skin type to the world. I use primer (elf mineral), and I apply this foundation with stippling brush. I buff it with this brush as well, which helps tons with the 'hey, look at my pores!' situation that would happen otherwise. I knocked off one star because I do wish there was more color selection. Other than that, this will to be my go-to winter (an foreseeable future) foundation.

Clinique High Definition Lashes Brush Then Comb Mascara

I always go back to this

I love this mascara. No matter how many others I try, I always go back to this. Yes, it's like a relationship. There are other mascaras that I like very much, but I'm always comparing them to Clinique's HD mascara, and they simply don't fit the whole bill for me. I love the color, I love he staying power, I love that it doesn't flake or clump. My lashes look long and glossy. Did I mention that I love this mascara?
