Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Eau de Toilette
I've been wearing this for the last 12 years, it's my scent. When people smell it, they say it reminds them of me. The staying power isn't great, and I always end up having to buy the body lotion (which isn't the best quality) to help it last... +
I've been wearing this for the last 12 years, it's my scent. When people smell it, they say it reminds them of me. The staying power isn't great, and I always end up having to buy the body lotion (which isn't the best quality) to help it last longer.
Other than that, I love it. So much so, that even when I try to switch it up and use other perfumes, I just don't feel like myself.
I had a scare a few years back when someone said they'd discontinued it, so far I'm safe and happy that's not true.

I'm obsessed with this line of lipstick. I used to ALWAYS shop at MAC for all of my lipstick needs, no more.
These are pro lipsticks, sold at the drugstore. The colour: AMAZING, the feel: AMAZING, the shades available: AMAZING/PLENTY. I can't speak highly enough about this lipstick. Highly pigmented!

NYX Cosmetics Matte Lipstick
I'm not happy with these matte lipsticks at all. I must say I'm 30 years old, I no longer have those luscious plump lips I had in my teens and early 20s. Which may be the reason why I'm not in love with these lipsticks. They go into every crease (I... +
I'm not happy with these matte lipsticks at all. I must say I'm 30 years old, I no longer have those luscious plump lips I had in my teens and early 20s. Which may be the reason why I'm not in love with these lipsticks.
They go into every crease (I don't have many, but obviously the ones I have I'm self conscious about) and makes them appear deeper.
The shades aren't true to the colour of the tube, and they aren't very strong. I always have to put on 3 coats to get the colour to show. They are kind of dry feeling, rather than velvety like the told me at the store. I always end up putting gloss on top, which kind of ruins the purpose of buying a matte lipstick.
I prefer the maybeline matte lipsticks, great colour, feel lovely and staying power.

I have a serious love hate relationship with this hair colour. Currently it's the only one I use on my hair, but I'm not thrilled about it.
Why I love it: It lifts better than a lot of bleaching products out there, the highlight blonde colours lift great and the ashes don't leave me with a orangey yellow tint, with a toner it's PERFECTION.
Why I hate it: This perfection doesn't last too long, it's very short lived. After my 2nd wash, my hair looks flat, boring and the yellowy orange tint is very apparent. So much so, that I end up toning my hair 2 weeks after colouring it.
It's affordable, especially when Sally's has 2 for 1 sales or 1/2 off, and I use it because I'm so used to it, but I may graduate to a better pro brand.

Ben Nye Banana Luxury Powder

I was expecting some AMAZING things from this powder since Kim K's artist uses it. I use the rose Petal color since I'm too fair for Banana Powder. It doesn't really do much, I just use it to set my eye makeup, and really I've bought the Elf under eye powder and it does pretty much the same thing for $1. It's still pretty good at absorbing oil though, but doesn't help w/ my contouring the way it does Kim K -
Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara

I love this mascara, I used to pay quite a large chunk of change for the Diorshow mascara but it's not worth it. This stuff separates my lashes, defines them, lengthens them. It looks bold and natural at the same time, it's great! I generally will do one coat, then use my metallic eyelash brush to separate and then add another coat if I'm going out on the town. -
