first and for most. I love the smell of this stuff, it smells so good! I keep mine in the shower and I only use it when I wash my hair so every other day because if I do scrubs too often, my skin dries out but it is really nice and works really well for my skin. I would definitely recommend it. -
Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge
this sponge is incredible and even better than the beauty blender because the flat surface allows you to blend your under eye makeup flawlessly but it also has a large surface to apply and blend foundation quickly.

this is the holy grail of stippling brushes!!! it is so cheap and the perfect size brush for foundation application, blending out harsh lines, setting concealer, blending concealer, and even applying moisturizer or primer! I personally have used it for all of those makeup jobs and I own three of them. I highly recommend buying it. they do not last as long as higher end brushes but for 4 dollars, it is totally worth it to replace it once a year. -

I discovered this blush about a year ago when I was watching drugstore makeup hauls on youtube and I stumbled across it and absolutely fell in love. I use this blush for everyday soft and blowy makeup applications. it is the perfect natural shade that warms up my face perfectly. it isn't too shimmery but it is by no means matte. its is absolutely beautiful. it is a little chalky but it stays on the face really well. -

The real techniques blush brush is absolutely incredible. the size is perfect, the shape is perfect, the synthetic fibres are soft and perfect. it blends any blush to look like it is airbrushed on. I would recommend it to anyone whether they are adventurous and experienced with makeup or if they are just starting out. the only thing that I do to like is the handle, it is very wide which makes it harder to store but it is still incredible -
Bio-Oil

I tried bio oil about a year ago and I honestly could not get over the smell of it. it was kind of nice at first and then as it sat on my skin, it didn't smell very good. I tried it on a scar and used it every day for a month and a half and I didn't see results. maybe I just didn't use it as much as I should have but then a week ago I wanted to give it another try and when I pt some on my hands it smelled really terrible. I do not know if tree is an expiration date but I really wasn't a fan of this product. -

this mascara was all the hype on beauty vlogs so I was so excited to try it. however, when I finally got around to buying it. I was really let down. the mascara was very wet so I found that it wet my lashes too much and all the curling that I had done with my lashes got ruined and they just straightened back out. I also found that the mascara smudged quite a bit which was upsetting. the thing that was really great about it though was the wand. I love a small plastic wand because it allowed for de-clumping and precision and it made it easy to do mu bottom lashes. -

This was my first liquid liner. I think it was really good for starting out because of how easy it is to apply it. the felt tip is firm enough for it to not make a mess but flexible enough for it to move with the curve of your eye. you can pick different colours which is nice. a black would be well suited for dramatic looks and a brown would be good for softer looks. the problem that I did have with it is that it isn't waterproof so it was rubbing off very easily so I would recommend keeping it with you for touchups. I also had a problem with the fact that it dried very shiny. a gel liner would be better suited for you if you want something more matte. -

I absolutely love this hair product. I have very long hair and I use it every time I get out of the shower. I towel dry my hair until it isn't dropping anymore and then I put one full pump in my hands and rub it into my ends and bring it up to halfway up my hair (my hair goes halfway down my back). what I really like is that it smells amazing, leaves my hair looking shiny and bouncy and it also protects it from heat damage. I have noticed a significant difference since using it. I will never go back to any other leave in treatment -
Coastal Scents Revealed Palette

I was unsure whether or not I wanted to buy the naked palette by urban decay and then I found the much cheaper revealed palette and I fell in love. there are 20 shades (10 mattes and 10 shimmers which is 10 more shades than the naked palettes). some of the shades are a little chalky but some are absolutely incredible. I would recommend this to anyone who is unsure if they want to spend the money on the naked palettes (revealed palettes are around $20). it also gives you a great oppurtunity to practice eyeshadow techniques without wasting extremely expensive products. -
