i reaaaally love this glitter liners!
i have gone through so many different glitter liners. i had the same problem with all of them -- i couldn't get a consistent line of "sparkle." i have no complaints about the nyx candy glitter liners. they're pigmented and created a fluid line of glitter rather than just flecks here and there. really great.
hope this helped x

i had heard so much YouTube hype about these quads. everybody loved both the colors and quality, so i had to try one for myself. i picked up the quad in "Emerald Smokes" and couldn't wait to try it out. i really had my heart set on some great eyeshadows, and got nothing even close. i couldn't get the color to come off on neither my finger nor my brush. even wet, i couldn't get any color at all. i tried a few other tricks, like poking a pin hole in the center of the shadow, but that didn't work either. finally, i resorted to mashing each eyeshadow up into pigments and storing them individually. now i got color pay off, but i was still not so thrilled with the quality. i don't know if i simply got a faulty product, or if they're all this bad. ): -
Physician's Formula Gel CremeLiner

in all honesty, these eyeliners are really comparable to mac's fluidlines. they last all day long, no creasing/smudging or running off. they're exceptionally pigmented and dreamfully creamy (easy to work with). i have only one objection: they're very drying. if you've got oily lids, these liners would be great for you. personally, the dryness doesn't bother me, but you might object to the crusty feel of them. you can't tell on your eye, but when you rub it with your fingers, you can feel it. they stay put, but aren't so much of a bother to clean off with makeup remover or even babywipes.
another great thing about these liners is that they come in sets of 3, and the colors vary depending upon your eye color. if you have green eyes, the colors are designed to compliment green eyes. the same for brown and blue eyes.. clever :b
i'd say yes, give them a try before splurging on something like mac's fluidline or bobbi brown's creme liners.
hope this helps x
p.s. sorry for the blurry picture! ):

this is the very first cream blush i owned. not only is it affordable, it is pretty good quality. it has a lightweight & creamy formula, and you still feel like your skin can breathe while wearing it. i don't find it melting off, either. it doesn't come in a wide range of colors, though. i am definetely satisfied with this product. if you're looking for a cream blush, try these out first. -

not really a huge fan of this foundation. i find that matte foundation is what typically photographs best, but this stuff was full of shimmer. no matter how much i applied or how i applied it, i found that it looked blotchy and uneven, and made my face look like a disco ball in front of the camera. i was really expecting great things after hearing all the hype, but i'm truly very disappointed. -
Lorac TANtalizer Baked Bronzer

this is a really nice bronzer, however it's not worth the price. there are other drugstore bronzers just as great for less than half the cost.
it's nice that it comes in both a shimmery & matte form (i've got the shimmery one).
i like this for adding a touch of warmth to the skin or to darken up the neck/chest a bit. wouldn't splurge for it, though.
hope this helped x

this bronzer comes in 5 shades (tanaholic confessions, bronze ensamble, tribal odyssey, leopard gets a tan, and tan enthusiasm). they don't vary much in terms of shade, just "pattern" or color combinations.
i have the bronzer in "leopard gets a tan," & i love it!! this isn't a bronzer to contour with because it shimmers a bit; not over the top, though. this is definetely an all-over bronzer. it's eye safe as well, so you could use it for eyeshadow if you wished.
this bronzer is a great way to add a touch of warmth to any skin tone.
hope this helped! x

if you haven't tried this powder, do it!
it's really great, especially for the price. it's a great setting powder for foundation. unfortunately, i bought a shade that was too light for me, so i use to to set just my concealer.
it's not cakey or drying, and does a pretty good job at upholding it's claim of keeping your skin matte. plus, you get a really decent amount of product for the price ($2.99).
hope this helped! x

this product is designed to be a setting powder, but i find it works better as a powder foundation.
when applied over foundation, i think it makes my face look cakey and unever. but alone on a day where i'm too lazy for makeup, it really provides even, medium coverage & looks great!
love it.
