I originally got a sample of this citrus beauty in the mail from an influencer link given to Sam Ravandahl to share with her followers.
I was immediately drawn to the scent but it didn't wear well on me and ended up smelling slightly more like a cleanser than a cologne. I do find it holds more true if I apply is on my clothing rather than on my body.
However this scent holds it's structure on my husband perfectly. It is such a clean, bold, sexy scent on him. I can't get enough. I bought him a smaller bottle for our anniversary and can't wait to repurchase a bigger bottle in the future. My husband is NOT a fragrance guy but raves about how confident he feels when he puts that on. He gets a ton of compliments on it and barely applies any when he does. The scent is long lasting and doesn't change over hours of wear. Highly recommend for men and women!! It's an excellent unisex scent.

I know CeraVe has a day and night version; but as a make up artist I use the night for myself daily as well as on my photography clients. Any products with sunscreen can send a green cast back on pictures which can be really hard to edit out. Even if it is worn underneath the make up.
I love mixing this moisturizer with foundation to have a more sheer, natural foundation look. It still allows the foundation to dry down without looking cakey or too matte. It is very hydrating and does not break me out which is huge. I also find that is doesn't leave any residue on my skin when it soaks into the skin which is HUGE for me. There is nothing worse than an oily face once you apply moisturizer.
The bottle looks small and runs just under $15 CAN; BUT this bottle has lasted me for about 5 months so far and I am not out yet. I use it daily!

I have left this beauty and come back to her over and over. I am not worthy of her love.
This mascara is my go to for over 10 years now. I have tried ALL the majorly hyped mascaras over the years and nothing comes close for me. This is the only NON clumping mascara I have ever used. I don't know if that's because of the applicator or the formula or both but it is truly the most fantastic lengthening mascara I have ever used. It seperates my lashes beautifully. It has great longevity, and doesn't make my lashes flake or fall even during intensely humid weather.
I am partial to the carbon black telescopic pictured above, the gold packaging never worked as well for me as the original black!

This was my first dip into the Pat McGrath craze. I couldn't have been happier with the palette when I purchased it. Although there was a little learning curve with some of the shadows I still feel they are exceptional quality, so much so I have 2 back ups for when I run out.
The 2 mattes in this palette are more than enough to do multiple looks with the other 4, breathtakingly unique shades. A lot of these shadows in this specific palette actually apply better with a finger. Even the mattes get a maximum pigment performance when applying with a finger. I'd say the shades super nova and corruption definitly require a finger application for longevity. When applied with a brush you loose the metallic finish of these shadows and end up with a muddy result. The shade celestial works like a powder to cream shadow. It is buildable only with a finger or a damp dence brush in my experience. This is my most used shade in the palette for under the brow bone or a face highlight in general.
I like this shadow because it gives great neutral options as well as the ability to go next level glam!

I would never have been able to afford this palette. Thankfully I was able to get a discount buying it from a friend. That being said I WOULD buy this palette again at the high price point because the quality, workability and colours are flawless, beautiful and un-dupeable in my opinion. You're looking at roughly $17 CAN per shadow in the 10 shadow palette's which is not that bad if you love each one.
Every shade in the palette has great longevity applied with or without eyeshadow primer. The opalescent shades are insanely beautiful. Ethereal in a sense. The red shadow in an easy favorite. The matte colours are absolutely lovely to work with so much so they can be applied with your finger.
All in all, everyone goes off about the high price of these palette's without breaking down the actual cost per shade. Pat Mcgrath individual shadows sell for a $35 CAN each so I am ok with paying $17 each in these large palettes.
