This is hands down my all time favourite makeup item! Most makeup items I have I enjoy but wouldn't always re purchase them, but this will be a repurchase for many many years! It is light yet effective as a bronzer! It does look intimidating due to the colour and shimmer but with just a very light hand it gives your face a beautiful natural looking glow! The only downside is the price, it is a NARS product so it of course is going to be a very high price, but it is totally worth it in my opinion! Looooove this product! -

This is a fairly new product so as soon as I saw it I had to try it out! It instantly reminded me of a MAC paintpot and are marketed as a cream shadow (also a eyshadow base). I bought four, and was attracted to the white one "too cool" as it reminded me of the NYX jumbo eye pencil in milk. I have never personally seen a white cream eyeshadow before! I brought them home and compared them with my MAC paintpots, STILA smudge pots, and my BENEFIT creaseless cream shadows! The packaging is identical to the benefit one! Anyways, I swatched all of the Maybelline cream eyeshadows and they were very vibrant and pigmented! I left them on my arm and went about my day, I tried to wash them off before bed and they wouldn't smudge! More than 24 hours later the swatches were still going strong! Let's just say these last for more than 24 hours! Also, the colour selection is great! Go check them out! -

So, I love blush! It is probably my most favourite makeup item of all time, so with that said I love trying out new blushes. A store near where I live started selling Stila so I was more than thrilled and I've heard loads about their "Convertible Colours" so I decided to pick one up. Let's just say less than a week later I was back for more! I have two colours so far "Lillium" and "Gerbera". Lillium is more of a everyday colour, it's a pinky colour but with more of a nude base to it. Gerbera is also a pinky blush but with more of a coral base. These both look similar when glancing quickly but in fact they are both very different and I love theme. They are not just a blush, they can also be used as a lip colour as well but I have not tried that yet! But they are a cream product and are suprisingly very creamy and apply very easily. I love applying this product everyday! I use my fingers and dot it onto my cheeks then buff it out using a MAC 187! The packaging just adds to the already perfect cake, it is very sleek and the outside colour matches the inside colour of the actual product! Needless to say I will be purchasing more in the future!!! -

I have one simple word to describe this product.....FABULOUS! It's amazing, I used to (still kind of am) an avid EOS lip balm lover but as soon as I heard about this new product I was more than willing to try it out! It comes in 6 different flavours, 2 are clear and 4 are coloured. Shockingly, the 4 coloured lip balms are intensely pigmented. Within a few seconds the colour is transferred onto your lips in not the subtlest way. Personally, I liked the clear ones for everyday use but if I am ever in need of a good tinted lipbalm I will know where to go! The price is excellent too, at under 5 dollars I think it's worth every penny and more! This lip balm also has SPF 20 so those who count that as a necessaity are in luck! The actual product is a bit greasy so if your not one for greasy lip products I would pass, but I like the greasy effect as I think it adds to the effectiveness of the product. Also the packaging is AH-DORABLE! It reminds me of Andy Warhol and has a pop art vibe! Very 80's! I am unsure if this is limited edition or permanent but either way I will be picking up backups of these lip balms as I think they are my new favourite!! Go check them out!!! -

I bought the Rosebud Strawberry Lip Balm with only minimal expectations. I have purchased many lip balms solely for the flavour or smell. This lip balm smells beyond words, it smells not only strawberry like but a mix of fruity goodness! All smells aside, this lip balm is beyond words, as the full name states it does moisturize your lips as well as leave them with a slight tint. The only con would be the application, unlike the majority of lip balm's one must use their finger to apply it to your lips which is a very minor flaw when looking at the overall picture. This lip balm not only smells like a strawberry scented heaven but it also leaves your lips moisturized and not even the slightest bit chapped! It is a definite must have!! -
