this is my favorite bronzer of all time. to be honest, i wasn't expecting much. but i decided to shy away from my usual nyx bronzer and give this a try, because the packaging had me hooked. it comes in a few different shades, mine is the first one, 001 sun kiss, a beautiful pinkish/bronze with gold shimmer. super pigmented and smooth, this bronzer illuminates my face and body so beautifully its amazing.it doesn't break me out or make me look fake or orange -- it's perfect. love it and will definetely repurchase. -

this is the 2nd best drugstore primer i've ever used! (1st is palladio herbal foundation primer)
it's a little expensive, but the quality is top bombing. the texture is thick but very smooth. it does a great job at smoothing the skin's surface and filling in pores. foundation/concealer glide over it. loooove it. but it's still second to the palladio. lol

Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder
i do like the finish this product gives to the skin. a little goes a very long way though, because too much will leave a white cast. it's not very long wearing, so i don't recommend it for daily use. for a short (3-5 hour) event where you know... +
i do like the finish this product gives to the skin. a little goes a very long way though, because too much will leave a white cast. it's not very long wearing, so i don't recommend it for daily use. for a short (3-5 hour) event where you know you'll be taking pictures, this would be nice, especially paired with the hd foundation (awesome!).
pros:
- very finely milled
- smooth/soft
- packaging is surprisingly easy to work with
cons:
- can leave a white cast
- not too long wearing
hope this helped x

cue the halleluiah chorus! i LOVE this stuff. loose powders are my favorite, and this has definetely topped my list. i originally wasn't so willing to spend $34 on just a powder, but i'm so glad i did.
nars claims this powder is finely milled to give ulta-natural flawless coverage. it is also said to be silky smooth and fresh looking. boy, does it live up to these claims! a little goes a long way. the coverage is great and it feels like rubbing velvet across your skin. it stays put and absorbs excess oil. a ton of product that will last you a long time and i can almost guarantee you won't be disappointed. didn't accentuate my dry patches, either. i just wish the packaging was better. other than that though, phenominal! nars has outdone themself.

Urban Decay All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray

i did notice my makeup lasting a bit longer. it still wore, but not as badly as without the setting spray. i do actually really like this product, but i don't think it's worth spending $29 on. it doesn't extend the wear time of my makeup, but it does keep it looking picture perfect until it starts to wear. wow, that sounds super confusing. what i mean is that without the spray, i can gradually see my makeup changing. with the spray, it looks freshly applied for quite some time, but then BAM, it starts to slip around.
so confusing but hope this helped, lol x

Physcians Formula Bamboo Wear Bronzer
i HATE this stuff! it smells sooooooooooooo bad. seriously, it stinks like old cheese or something. i hate that you have to buy the pan and the compact separately (rip off!) and it's too bulky. it's not pigmented at all, even the stiffest of my... +
i HATE this stuff! it smells sooooooooooooo bad. seriously, it stinks like old cheese or something. i hate that you have to buy the pan and the compact separately (rip off!) and it's too bulky. it's not pigmented at all, even the stiffest of my brushes barely picks up product. even though it's overall useless, i would normally continue to use it (since i can't return it), but it smells just so bad that i'm throwing it away. gross! so disappointed in phys. form. -

these pencils are some of my favorite high end eyeliners. they're rich and creamy, and the best part is that they're twist up, so they don't require any sharpening. i like the colors they come in and the effect they give -- overall they look stunning. these might just top the UD 24/7 liners. -
Milani LIQUIF EYE Metallic Eyeliner Pencil

these pencils are very comparable to UD's 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencils. they don't come in as many colors though. these are super creamy and richly pigmented, pretty long wearing, too. they're so creamy though that they require very frequent sharpening, which can be both a pain and a waste. i haven't had a problem, but many people also complain that these make their eyes watery. worth giving a try before you go crazy on the UD pencils. -

I really don't mind spending $20 on these eyeliners because they're just so perfect -- I haven't been disappointed yet. They're smooth and creamy, richly pigmented, and long wearing. They have practically every color you can imagine. To cut it short, these are worth trying. -

one of my favorite powders ever! i usually don't use loose powders, because they're very messy (despite the flawless effect they give). i have to say though, this is probably going to make my list of holy grail products. it's light weight, smooth, and fresh feeling. it glides on effortlessly and makes my skin feel so smooth. it feels weightless, and has a clean old-fashioned-like scent. a great setting and touch up powder. love it! -
