I always get compliments when I wear this shade! It's very dramatic and bold in color, but it makes such a great statement if you pair it with the right shadows!
I really like to do an ombré look with this color. I pair it with a darker fuschia lip liner. This lip shade is matte, so make sure to apply a rich lip balm underneath it to keep moisture locked in. This should be everyone's staple to their makeup collection!

I received this palette for free in a cover girl gratis box at work. This is a good option for someone who is on a budget, but wants a palette that is versatile and of decent quality.
The shadows go on smoothly, and they are not chalky at all. I personally found that spraying my brush with a setting spray before applying made the colors much more pigmented. They are quite shimmery, so if you prefer mattes that is something to keep in mind. I do get some fall out with this palette so I make sure to apply my concealer/foundation afterwards.

Velour Mink Lashes

I love these lashes! People always complain about the price but you can get 20 plus uses out of these!
On my last pair I got about 28 uses. If you compare them to cheaper lashes that last 2-3 uses max, it's worth the amount. The band is very bendable so it's easy to apply to your natural eyelid shape. I rarely have to cut these to fit like other brands I've tried. I would highly recommend - especially if you're new to applying lashes! Worth the investment .

This was on the top product stand at Sephora. One of my friends was raving about it so I picked it up the last time I went. I wasn't impressed at all. I believe it is highly overrated.
Yes, the product does what it says....it stains your lips. But I literally just looked like I ate a red freezie or something! It didn't look natural at all. I usually use the younique lip stains which add a natural sheen to your lips. I kinda felt like I looked like a clown after using this.
The only way I can use this product is to add a slight tint to my cheeks. Be warned...a little goes a long way. If you use it too sparingly you will look like you're flushed and coming down with the flu. I do have much better products for my cheeks, but I don't want this product to go to waste because it's so overpriced for what it is.

The smell of this cream is to die for! Seriously I just want to lick my hands afterwards (it's actually so tempting). They smell like I've just baked a cake. Often times with lotions/creams that have a beautiful scent, I find the company often forgets about the effectiveness of the product. With that being said, this product is super effective even for the driest of hands. I'm constantly working with my hands as a makeup artist, and I apply purrell often before/after clients. I need something very intense so I don't lose the moisture in my hands. This hand cream is extremely moisturizing and my hands feel so soft after use. Would highly recommend! -

I just picked one of these up at work because the price point is more affordable than others we carry. They've been selling like crazy so I figured it was worth a shot.
During the 15 minute application my face stung a little, which is weird because I don't have sensitive skin. After taking off the mask off, my skin felt very tight. I looked at the ingredients and that's when I realized alcohol was listed, which completely dries out my skin as it is already dehydrated. If you have dehydrated skin like me and you're actually looking for a mask to hydrate, don't use this mask. Alcohol dries out the skin completely. If you're more combo/oily you may have better luck. I had to practically soak my face in the richest moisturizer I have after using this product.

Alot of people don't know that they will write on your cake for free and on the spot if you choose from the freezer! When serving, take the cake out about 15 minutes before hand otherwise it's difficult to cut through.

Everyone needs to own this palette. Whether you're looking to create everyday looks, dramatic ones, or you're a makeup artist yourself, this hands down is the best palette I've ever owned. I use this everyday, whether it be one shade or several. This palette is so versatile! You can create hundreds of different looks.
The shadows themselves are highly pigmented, and there's barely any fall out. The shadow packs on any brush nicely and applies so smoothly. I never have a problem with creasing - even after 12 hour wear. They are so long lasting!
You really can't beat the price of this palette. I've spent thousands of dollars on customized MAC palettes and none of them compare to this one. Unbelievable quality.

This instant self tanner is a great option if you need something fast and quick. I'll use this in the winter time if I have a dinner event and my legs are exposed, or if I'm having a night on the town with my girlfriends. Even being very pale the color looks super natural and gives me a nice glow.
If you are looking for something long lasting, stay clear of this product. It only lasts a few hours. Do not apply this if you are going to be hot or sweating because the product will streak. I would suggest this product to anyone who does not have time to apply a proper self tanner and needs something instantaneously.

This eyeliner would be great for beginners as it is easy to apply to the lid and goes on smoothly. With that being said, I got this eyeliner with the main intention of putting it on my waterline because kohl usually applies well to the waterline. It immediately smudged and ran underneath my eyes. I started setting it with a black shadow which seemed to work but it's an annoying step to have to do. Personally, I would not repurchase. -
