L'oreal Paris Voluminous False Lashes Mascara

This isn't my favorite mascara, but it's definitely in my top three. I don't really agree with the fibers claim - I don't really see any fibers in the mascara itself and I never see them on my lashes. Other fiber mascaras (like the Too Faced one) are full of visible fibers. So if that's what you're looking for, this isn't it. This is a good lengthening and separating mascara, and it's fairly priced. -

I like this product but it's not worth the price tag. The concealer does its job - it covers and it blends. I don't like the consistency though. It's too thick and way too heavy for under the eyes. The packaging/quality is nice, like the rest of NARS products. This isn't a bad concealer, but I don't like it that much, certainly not enough to justify the high cost. -

We can't get this foundation in the US, so I had to order it online from a UK company. I love it! The texture of this is awesome. It blends so beautifully and leaves a natural, even finish. I really like that this foundation leans slightly more yellow - I was able to find the perfect shade (51 vanilla light). Love this and will definitely be repurchasing it as well as trying more from the brand! -

I have a love-slightly hate relationship with these shadows. They're raved about all over the internet for their beautiful shades and interesting texture. Bottom line: love the colors, not a fan of the texture. These shadows have a unique gel-like feel that I find really hard to work with. It's difficult to use them with a brush (fingers work extremely well), and I find them hard to manipulate, move around, blend, that sort of thing. They do set quickly and won't budge all day - very long wearing. When you apply these with your finger, they're so vibrant and beautiful, almost foiled looking. I will say that in my experience, the matte shades are nowhere near as pigmented as the others. The colors are so unique and just all around absolutely gorgeous. I love the price of these and I love the other ColourPop products (lippie stix, blushes, etc.). I highly recommend giving these a chance. My favorite shades (I have about 15) are Bae and Coconut. -

I like this palette mostly for the colors. The shades are rich, warm tones that have the texture/quality of a typical MAC shadow. While the palette itself is expensive, you are essentially paying half price (than if you were to buy each shade individually). Most of the colors are original/exclusive to the palette, with the exception of just a handful of permanent shades. I like this palette a lot and think it's very beautiful, but I don't think it's anything out of this world.
I just want to note that there is a cool version of this palette, the Cool Neutral Palette, as well.

I bought this powder (Banana) along with the lighter, pinkier shade, Cameo. I love them both! They're so affordable and so high-quality. These powders are pigmented, finely milled, blendable, so easy to work with. I pat this under my eyes to set my concealer as well as around areas of my face I'd like to highlight. I let it sit for a minutes while I move on to other things, and then dust it off. It looks beautiful. Love it! -
NYX Wonder Pencil

I like this a lot. It comes in three shades, each with a pinky/peach tone that makes it really versatiile. This is an affordable pencil with a nice texture - not too hard, not too soft. I like to use this to highlight the inner corners of my eyes and under my brows, as well as line the waterline. For the price, it's nice, and definitely usable and worth a try. -

I LOVE this foundation! I bought this because I needed something that would look flawless both in person and in pictures as well as last a long time [in the heat and humidity] for my 4-hour-long graduation ceremony under the burning sun. I was absolutely blown away by this product. After nearly 10 hours of intense wear, it still looked absolutely amazing. It didn't look blotchy or cakey at all, and it didn't feel heavy or uncomfortable. The shade range is fantastic, too, so it's super easy to find the perfect shade. It doesn't oxidize. The best long-wearing, full coverage makeup! -

I've had this foundation for about a month and it has quickly become my holy grail. I'm rather fair but I have very yellow undertones, which often makes it difficult to find the right shade in a lot of foundations. This foundation is designed for yellow/olive skintones. While that really limits the shade range, and this product is only available online, the product is amazing. The color is perfect, the texture is so smooth, so blendable, and so flawless. I highly recommend this foundation!

After resisting this palette for a long time, I gave in to the hype at picked it up. The quality is great, just like other Too Faced products. The colors are all very pretty, smooth, and long-wearing. Plus, they smell amazing, so that's nice. The reason I didn't rate this palette higher is because I feel like it wasn't as fantastic as I was expecting it to be, considering everybody loves it so much. The colors aren't anything special, and the quality isn't anything profound (a lot of other shadows are just as buttery). While the palette is very nice and I like it a lot, it's not my favorite, and it's not really a must-have. I wish I liked this more! -
