These eyeliners are really great and very inexpensive. They're very smooth and creamy and they have great lasting power. They're obviously not the highest quality, but they work exceptionally well considering the price (less than $1 USD in your local drugstore). The shades are all very pretty, but I find that the neutral shades are the best quality (white, brown, black). I really like the brown one for my eyebrows. It's too harsh when applied directly from the brush to the brow, but I use an angled liner-type brush and it works great! The texture is a little waxy, so it stays in place and doesn't budge. Good product and great buy. -

The Naked palettes by Urban Decay have been all the hype since they came out, and I'm no exception -- I have both the Naked and Naked 2 palettes. When the Naked Basics palette came out, I didn't feel as compelled to buy it because I didn't feel that the shades were anything special -- just basic matte, neutral colors. Finally, all this time later, I caved in and may I just say that I'M IN LOVE. I adore this palette. The quality of these eyeshadows is great, just like all Urban Decay eyeshadows. Single eyeshadows from Urban Decay run $18 USD each, which this palette is $27 USD for all 6 (that's about $4.50 each) which is amazing! The palette has one light shimmery shade, and the rest are completely matte, including a deep, dark, matte black. This is perfect for pairing with the other Naked palettes as well as other eyeshadow palettes, and it's also great on its own. It has a huge mirror, is compact and contains all the colors you need for a complete look for every day or for a night out. I find myself reaching for this all the time, especially for traveling and on the go. I can't say anything bad about this palette -- it's amazing and a total must-have!! -

This is Maybelline's new double-ended mascara, and it's just your average drugstore find. The concept is nice, one side for the upper lashes and one side for the lower lashes. The brushes are nice just the right size. This is a dryer formula, so if you're into that, you'd like this. If you prefer a wetter formula, this isn't for you. It doesn't clump, it separates, but it doesn't really coat your lashes, just puts a small amount of product on them. I don't like the texture, I find that I really have to work with it to get the mascara onto my lashes. I've heard that the lower lash side is a lot like the Clinique Bottom Lash mascara, which I've never tried so I can't compare, but I didn't find that it was anything special. I actually preferred to use the upper lash side on the lower lashes as well. I still prefer my holy-grail L'oreal Voluminous mascara to this one any day and won't repurchase it. -

After being in love with all the other products in Loreal's True Match line, I had to try this. Creamy concealers are my favorite, and this seemed so convenient, being in a twist-up crayon form. This concealer isn't exactly "blendable" as it claims to be -- it's very thick and drying, too heavy for under the eyes. This is pretty good for spot concealing, though. I just rub some onto my finger and then pat it on the spot and blend out. The coverage is good, it's just that the texture is too dry and sometimes I find that it can be cakey and patchy. Wouldn't repurchase and wouldn't recommend. -

This is a great everyday concealer. It's very convenient -- you just squeeze the tube for product, apply it under your eyes and then blend it in with your finger. It's medium coverage and has a thin, smooth texture. I don't find that it cakes up or settles, but it does need to be set with a light powder. Especially for the price, this concealer is really nice. -

Generally, I go for cream concealers and I'm not generally a fan of liquids. But I'm making an exception here, because this stuff is great! Some concealers are just way too thick and heavy for under your eyes and sometimes you want something light and thin that will do the job without being uncomfortable. The Dream Lumi concealer is very thin and blendable but it gets the job done. My shade is in "Radiant," which is a peachy shade, perfect for correcting undereye discoloration. This concealer both corrects and brightens, and it's really convenient. You just twist the product up, apply it right under your eyes, and blend it in with your finger. Easy to throw in a purse or makeup bag, affordable, good quality. Really like and recommend it. -

I'm not really a cream blush girl -- I prefer powders, but I like this. I have two of the cream blushes by NYX and they're really nice quality. The colors are pretty, very pigmented, and blend easily. The best way I've found to apply these is with your fingers or a small stippling/synthetic brush of sorts. Overall, a great drugstore find. -

I'm truly impressed with this primer. Most days, I skip primer because I don't find that it makes much of a difference in my makeup. After falling in love with the Benefit Stay Flawless Foundation, I had to try this product, too. The primer is rather pricey, $32 USD for 15.5 grams. The packaging is cute, although a little flimsy feeling -- sometimes the cap doesn't snap on quite right, etc. The primer itself is a twist-up stick form (think glue stick) and I find that the best way to apply it is directly from the tube to your face (however unhygienic). It's not really a spreadable/bendable thing, so applying it to your fingers and then your face doesn't really work. This stuff is truly heavy duty. It makes my makeup go on so smoothly and seriously last a very, very long time. My makeup has never been so long-wearing -- it's great. Totally recommend this primer. -

This is my new favorite every day foundation! I love this stuff! I'm disappointed in the shade range (Benefit's color ranges are always horrible though, so no surprise here), but this stuff is great! I got a sample of this stuff last summer and couldn't wait to buy a full sized bottle. I bought it in the lightest shade, but at the time was too light to wear it -- the colors run dark and are very yellow-toned. Well, summer is here again and now that I'm a little darker, I've been wearing this every day. The coverage isn't phenomenal, but it does a great job at evening out my skin and the finish is very skin-like and realistic. It looks very natural and not at all cakey, and the staying power is pretty great. It's my new go-to foundation for every day wear and I LOVE IT! I'm not sure if I'd repurchase it at $36 a bottle, but it's very likely. Totally worth a try. -
