This mascara is fairly nice, my only complaint is how wet the formula is. The formula builds pretty nicely, and the wand separates lashes pretty well. This mascara will not comb though the lashes as nicely as the covergirl clump crusher, but if you like that doll like separated, defined, distinct lashes look, you will likely like this. The wand is also on the big side, which is a little unneccessary. -

This mascara will give tons of volume, but its also one of the clumpiest mascaras ever. Its great for layering because of that though. The wand is also hourglass shaped, which means it deposits more product in the middle of the eye rather than the edges - which can add to the clumpiness. The formula is fairly nice, not too thick, not too wet. -

This mascara will not make your lashes look like falsies, but it is a great mascara for building volume. The wand has two sides - a flat side and a longer side. The flat side deposits more mascara, whereas the longer side is better for combing through the lashes (though another mascara would do a better job at this). The wand is also curved slightly - which doesn't make that much a difference as the curve is pretty slight. As with all Maybelline mascaras, the mascara is pretty wet, and gets better as it gets thicker. -

This lip oil is lighter than a gloss, but thicker than other lip oils. It does leave a nice tint of color. The consistency is somewhere in between a gloss and an oil. The colors are nicely pigmented, with the exception of shimmer red kiss, which is a slight red tint. The scent of these is not my favorite, but it does smell warm and sweet. The applicator is one of those "chair" shaped applicators. In comparison to other regular oils, this is rather expensive, but as a "treatment gloss" the price is ok. Compared to other lip oils, I don't think its as hydrating due to how it is glossy. -
e.l.f. Cosmetics Mad for Matte Eyeshadow Palette

The palette is fairly small and compact compared to other palettes, but the shadows and mirror are reasonably sized. I wouldn't expect these to be as pigmented as the Tartelette in Bloom, or KVD Shade and Light, but these are decently pigmented for the price, and blend nicely. These do have a little bit of fallout, however. The colors are all the browns that you could possibly want in a palette, with a grey and a black. The inclusion of the black makes it more versatile for night. The black is ok, its not amazingly pigmented, but it is nice to mix with other colors, and to use for a basic smokey eye. Not all the pans are glued in evenly in the palette, but I didn't have any pans fall out either. If you have oilier lids, you will need primer to make this work. Otherwise, its a good basic matte neutral palette, no frills, but a classic collection of colors. -

The most attractive part about this foundation is the price. It works better than most foundations at this price. The finish of this is not matte - though it doesn't claim to be, it does fully dry down and needs powder to set - probably better suited for those who have dry skin. It is at least medium coverage, and you don't need a ton of it. It does not mix well with any other foundations however, but mixes well with the serum foundation. The product does separate, and so shaking before using is a must. The shade range is amazing for the price - and the inclusion of cool, neutral and warm tones is great. If you can, I would recommend going into a DECIEM and swatching, but if you can't, they have a 365 day return policy - also the price is less than $7. -
The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil

Rosehip oil is an amazing dry oil, it has many benefits, and is a great oil to start with. It is not fitting whatsoever for dry skin, as it absorbs in too quickly. What isn't great about it is its shelf life. Rosehip oil only lasts for 6 months before going rancid, and once rancid, it is harmful to the skin. The shelf life label is listed at 12 months, which is deceiving - as the product does not last that long, without going rancid, even if refrigerated. While I like that TO sells this in 30 ml varieties, larger 120 ml varieties exist at a nicer cost. To use this up by the time it goes rancid, you would have to use it everyday, twice a day. The smell of this is grassy, oily and unassuming - though some people might not like that. The dropper format also isn't the greatest for helping it not go rancid. -
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
The formula of this is sticky and thick - not the most comfortable. The high concentration of B3 and zinc in this formula is what appears to mess with people's skin. I have used this and it has helped my skin, but also made it break out. I find that... +
The formula of this is sticky and thick - not the most comfortable. The high concentration of B3 and zinc in this formula is what appears to mess with people's skin. I have used this and it has helped my skin, but also made it break out. I find that this works best mixed with something else - like the AG 12, or MAP, and more so as a spot treatment. If you don't struggle with acne or breakouts, you don't need this - and if you do, buyer beware. The price point is very nice, but the concentration might be too much. -
Physician's formula the healthy lip liquid lipstick

These are really nice, if you can get them on sale. These aren't matte, and aren't transfer proof, but they don't claim to be. They are comfortable, pigmented and decently long wearing. They don't fully set, but dry down a little and remain comfy on the lips. The applicator is a heart shaped doe foot, which makes it easy to be precise, but apply a lot of color if you need to, and makes it easier to control and apply. These have a bit of a floral scent to them, that may bother some people. The color range is rather basic, and all the colors are neutral, wearable and predictable - there aren't any crazy colors- but that wouldn't be expected from physician's formula anyways. -

The formula of this lipstick is very nice. Its not transfer proof, but it doesn't claim to be, but its doesn't transfer much at all. It sets to more of a satin matte finish, which I appreciate. it does take some time for it to set and dry on the lips, but the formula is very rich and pigmented. The applicator is not my favorite, as it is fluffy, rather large and is that "chair" shape, which makes application a little odd. The claim if it being metallic is very true. These are indeed very metallic, so if you are not into that, this is not for you. These also function very nicely as lip topper accents on top of liquid lipsticks, as they do not disturb other formulas too badly once they set. These have no scent, which is nice for sensitive people. -
