I didn't get very long to try out this moisturizer. I was really looking forward to giving it a dry. All of its amazing claims seemed to make it worth the steep price point. Finally, I broke down and picked it up at Sephora. After using it just one time (before I went to bed), I woke up with 3 zits and Jupiter making home on my face. You can't imagine how frustrated it made me to believe I paid $34 USD for a breakout!
I gave it to my mom and she hasn't had any problems, although she also says she hasn't noticed anything special about it yet.
Overall, I really loved the gel-like texture of this but it broke me out so I have no appreciation for it, but I have heard many people rave about it, so perhaps it worth giving a try.

Buxom Lash Mascara
I HATE this mascara! It's pathetic! I've always loved my L'oreal Voluminous & have never strayed, but I'd heard such good things about Buxom Lash that I just had to try it. TOTAL WASTE! The formula is so dry, which I guess is good if you like that... +
I HATE this mascara! It's pathetic! I've always loved my L'oreal Voluminous & have never strayed, but I'd heard such good things about Buxom Lash that I just had to try it. TOTAL WASTE! The formula is so dry, which I guess is good if you like that, but I couldn't get the wand to glide through my lashes, and was getting annoyed because I felt like I was pulling them out. Being so dry, I could touch the tip of the wand to my skin and got no mascara stain. This plastic wand hurts terribly if you poke yourself (so don't do that! Lol). It made my eyelashes look so incredibly long, but they all clumped together making it look like I have about 10 stick-like lashes. I was worried about my eyelashes just snapping in half! I didn't have any smudging or smearing, but it was incredibly easy to remove when I wanted to, which I appreciate.
Overall, if you're looking for something that is strictly lengthening or something dry, it's a good idea. If you're looking for volume/lift or you prefer a damper formula, not a good idea.
This will definetely be going in the garbage can. :(

This lip gloss has really impressed me. I have the shade "Samantha," which is a classic light nude color. The product is creamy and pigmented, and really holds up to its claims. It has a pleasant scent, and leaves behind a warm tingly sensation. This feeling combined with the sheen it gives truly make your lips feel AND look soft & plump. Overall, great product & really recommend it. -
VOSS Artesian Spring Water
I picked up a bottle of this Voss Artesian Water from Norway at the Wine Library, as I'm underaged and couldn't drink anything else (Lol!). I mean, it's just water, right? What could possibly make it so special? I must say I would not repurchase it... +
I picked up a bottle of this Voss Artesian Water from Norway at the Wine Library, as I'm underaged and couldn't drink anything else (Lol!). I mean, it's just water, right? What could possibly make it so special? I must say I would not repurchase it, only because of it's bulky glass packaging and $3/bottle price tag. However, the water itself tasted so crystalline and refreshing, cleansing to the palette, so to speak! It's a nice treat every now and then. -
Maybelline New York Great Lash Clear Mascara
You can't beat this stuff. It's cheap and works very well. It holds my brows in place without making them crunchy/unnatural looking. It's also nice for a sweep over the lashes, just to keep them looking groomed, etc. Overall, good product.

Matte bronzers are hard to find, which is why I picked up this one in Los Cabos from the Sephora Collection. I love the color, it suits my skin well and the overall quality is nice. My only gripe is that it STINKS. It smells so bad -- very sour and intense (it reminds me of some sort of food that I can't recollect at the moment, Lol). I don't know if it's just mine or if they're all like this. I like the color so much that I'm willing to overlook the smell, but even on my face I can still detect the scent. If you can find an equality effective matte bronzer, avoid this. I'd be willing to pay more money for something else as long as I didn't have to deal with a smell like this! -

I only have one other Benefit blush (Bella Bamab) and didn't really find anything special about it other than it's gorgeous color. Well, it happened again. I fell in love with Benefit's blush in Dallas & I LOVE IT! The color is so unique, and after eyeing it up for quite some time and hunting for mediocre dupes, I picked it up last week. I've used it every day since, and the color is just so gorgeous & unique! An outdoor glow for an indoor gal. :) -

I'm really impressed with this eyeliner. It's creamy and soft, but not "slick" like a lot of other gel liners. This makes application so easy, and I even prefer it to my MAC fluidline.

This stuff along with the conditioner is amazinggg! There's no other way to say it. My hair is long, curly & thick and I'm working so hard hard to keep it healthy and grow it out as so, because I want to donate as much of it as possible to Lock of Love. My hair always feels so soft and healthy. This conditioner puts my hair in its best condition (haha, get it?) & I'll never use anything else. -

My hair is always so soft and healthy feeling after washing it with this (and the conditioner). I have long, thick hair and I'm growing it out at long as I can do so healthily, because I want to donate it to Locks of Love. This shampoo has truly helped to keep my hair healthy & at its best -- shiny, soft, hydrated, frizz/dead, split end free & I will never use anything else.
