First of all, a little goes a long way. I squeezed the tube lightly but a ton of product came out. I have no issues with scented primers, but I prefer unscented ones. For this primer I have to say I am not a fan of the citrus scent and it lingered for quite a bit after application.
In terms of performance, I used it side by side with the mac prep and prime since they have the same texture and feel (not sure about the ingredients tho) and I can say that after wearing it for 6 hours at work there's not much difference. The side with the nude by nature primer just had a tad bit more creasing and some of my foundation or powder smudged off. Being a girl with combination skin, I didn't put this entirely on my face since this is quite a luminous primer.I suggest that you put a different primer on your t-zone that mattifies and fills pores since this primer doesn't claim to do that.

I've had doubts at first because I dont like how the Ultra matte lips are super drying, but I decided to try them out anyways. I can say that it is worth trying! it has a thin formula and it doesn't dry out the lips as much. In a way it's just like a lip tint but colorpop offers colours other than the typical orange-y and red ones. My personal favorites are Zuma and Doozy! Is suggest you give them a try! -

I have been into stick on acrylics lately and even though it looks good, the nail glue dries out the cuticles and also makes the nail brittle. After using this oil, for over 2 weeks, i can say that the overall appearance of my nails looks better! The only thing I dont like about it is the color, it stains the nail quite a bit and it gets all over especially if you put on the oil at night before going to bed -

I got the shades 120 classic Ivory and 128 Warm nude for I also use both shades interchangeably in Maybelline's Fit me line. In terms of the shade, I believe this goes on a little bit darker than the fit me so i suggest you go 1 shade down if you like lighter foundation 'cause it might look too dark when you have contour and bronzer etc.
It is a full coverage foundation, hence the thick formula, so I think it's best used with a sponge if you're using it for everyday since it helps with thinning out the foundation a bit. I tried it with both the real techniques sponge and the beauty blender and for some reason it blended more beautifully using the latter. Applying it with a brush is ok as well, it will give you the coverage that you need.
In terms of longevity, it holds up well especially around my nose. Not even the double wear from estee lauder held up so i guess that says something about it. After about 6 hours i started to oil up on my T-zone, blotting would fix this and even though there's a little bit of transfer to the oil blotting sheet, the foundation still looks good on the skin.

I received this from Chickadvisor, I got it in the shade 255 soft brown, To be completely honest this shade is a miss for me. I dont know if its just me but it was green/orangey.
Overlooking the shade of the product tried, it is a pretty decent brow mascara. I've always just applied brow mascara if i'm in a rush and I feel like this would be worth a try if you already have thick brows and just want a little product to step it up a little (just get the right shade!!)
I've had no issues putting it on top of the shaping chalk powder, i believe they compliment each other so much.

I received this from Chickadvisor, I got it in the shade 260 Deep Brown. A little to dark for my liking given that i have black hair but it's manageable.
This pencil is so fine that you can draw faux brow hairs with it! it's creamy and it glides on pretty well. I have a bald spot in my left brow and I use this to cover it up the i top it off with the shaping chalk powder for a more natural look.
Even though this product is great, there are some negative things about it too. Because th epencil is super thin, it breaks off quite easily even if you just extend it a little when you're applyng it to your brows. ANother downside is the amount of product you get from one pencill is such a small amount that I was only able to use the pencil in less that 2 weeks. Given that this is ~$11, I believe youre not getting the right amount of product you paid for
.
Despite this it's an overall ok product, nothing out of the ordinary

I received the shaping chalk powder from chickadvisor in the shade 130 Deep brown and it's perfect for dark haired gals out there.
This product can take time to get used to but once you get the hang of it it's actually pretty easy to use!! It comes with a flat brush type applicator and it's very helpful especially when you're on the go since you dont need any additional tool to apply it. You can put it on anywhere!! I've tried putting it on while I was in the bus to school and my brows weren't too bad! If you have time to put it on at home, it's best to use a brush and spoolie so you can achieve a much more sharp look if that's what you prefer.
You can use this on it's own or you can put on top of brow pencil and or wax to darken the brows a little bit.
Overall i think the product is worth trying. You can use it whichever way you want to in order to achieve the look you want. may it be bold or natural brows this product will be able to help you out!

I received this along with the strawberry sorbet variant (which I love). It works just fine and is not super sticky compared to other lip balms but I found the scent to be over powering, maybe because i'm not a fan of the variant of mint they included on this one (if that even made sense). The cooling sensation after applying was ok at first but over time It felt like it was drying out my lips in a certain way.
Overall, I love the new formulation but the sweet sorbet variant is a better choice if you decide on purchasing this in the future

It's been a while since I've last used an eos lip balm. The first time I got it, it worked for a while but it just wasn't enough to moisturize and heal my super chapped lips. In addition to that, after not using it for a month it started to melt off and it started to smell like stale oil
After seeing that they released another formulation, I decided to give it another go as I was lucky enough to receive a package from chickadvisor with both variants of the lipbalm. After getting this in the mail, I really tested the effectiveness of the new formulation and I really incorporated it into my daily skin and facial care regime. After continuously using it for 2 weeks, although the results wasn't perfect, It definitely improved my lip's condition. In my opinion this variant is better than the sweet mint one because not only does it smell good, It actually worked better for my lips
In addition to that, It serves as a good base for matte liquid lipsticks like ABH or colourpop ones. It's not too oily that it would breakdown and affect the longevity of the lipstick.
