This is the lipstick of my dreams! Both the color and the formula are beautiful!
This lipstick in "Pinkprint", is a limited edition release by Niki Minaj and MAC. Nikki released two limited shades with the brand. Pinkprint, which is a beautiful light pinky nude, that leans toward the cool tone side, and "Niki's Nude", which is a warmer peachy nude, slightly darker. Both are in MAC's amplified formula.
I can't get enough of this lippie! I love the creamy formula. It never emphasizes dry patches on the lips, and it's super hydrating.
I have light/medium skin so on me it looks like my perfect nude. If you had a deeper skin tone, I think it would be beautiful with a lipliner.
The best news, and the reason I wanted to post my review now, is to let all my friends on Chick Advisor know that, right now on MAC's website, you can purchase both of Niki's limited edition lippies for $13.50 instead of the original $23.00!! Stock up!! I know I will be!

The consistency of this foundation surprised me! It's REALLY watery, yet somehow remains pigmented. I would describe the coverage as medium buildable coverage, which for me is perfect. It's light on the skin, not at all cakey, and leaves a demi-matte finish on the skin. I found powder products to layer nicely over top.
As I wore this foundation through the day, I started noticing some settling into my fine lines, and fading around the 6 hour mark. For reference my skin type is normal to slightly dry.
I was able to remedy the breakup of the foundation with a light touch-up, however I would not describe this makeup as long wearing, and in its defense, it doesn't claim to be.
In the end I think I would repurchase this foundation as it does look beautiful on the skin. I would choose to wear it on days that I didn't need to have my makeup last all day. Perhaps a night out. I've been really impressed with alot of the products from Deciem, and especially for the price, this product has its place as well!

Powder blush duo in I'M NOT BLUSHING
There isn't one product in this kit that I'm not in love with! The lipstick is a creamy pinky mauve, the gloss is a sheer pinky nude with sparkles, great as a topper. The shadows are in the purple family and are quality MAC shadows. Lastly the blush... Oh, my beating heart! This is stunning! Creamy, blendable, goodness! The bottom line is, you just need this!! The price is unbelievable, and especially if you're a MAC fan, you won't be disappointed! Bonus points for the stunning packaging! Bravo Patrick!

This is a beautiful primer, but you have to know how to use it properly...
I warm a small amount in my hands and press into my skin.If you apply this as you would a moisturizer, you might experience some pilling. It really does brighten and smooth your skin, making for a beautiful makeup application. I've used it as a mask a few times and while I did find it to be hydrating, I think for the price and size of the product, it's best used as a daily primer, at least for me and my needs. The scent is wonderful, a light rose scent.( Not a synthetic rose scent, it's like smelling a fresh cut rose) Overall, if you are looking for a primer that provides, smoothing, glowy, hydration, with a beautiful fresh scent, this is your best bet! I would recommend!

This eyeshadow palette was my first purchase from BH cosmetics and let me tell you, I'm in love!! The GlamReflection Rose palette, is the palette of my dreams! It includes 15 pressed shadows in the most creamy, smooth, pigmented formula, that glide on and blend like a dream! This particular palette is contains a selection of 10 stunning mattes, and 5 over the top metallic dreaminess! The color selection is a nice mix of cool and warm tone neutrals, that you can wear understated for day, and amped up for night. The metallic shadows are like paint, they're so smooth going on the lid. There isn't one shade that disappoints. I have high-end palettes that cost 5 times as much as this one does, that don't perform half as well! I have nothing bad to say... If these colors aren't for you, they released several different palettes in the GlamReflection collection, so they've got something for everyone. One huge plus I forgot to mention, is the price... I got this palette on sale for$10!!! The regular price I believe is $15.99, which is crazy affordable for the quality you're getting, however, BH cosmetics is always having sales, so keep an eye on the website. Overall, I am super excited to have found this brand, and wanted to share! I'm makeup obsessed, and I've tried it all. Believe me, you need this! -

After using this moisturizer daily for two weeks now, I have mixed feelings... It is a great sunscreen and definitely does a great job at blocking the harmful effects of the sun. So for that purpose, it's great! As a daily moisturizer, I found it to be a bit thick, with a white cast that is not uncommon for a sunscreen. I was able to cover the white cast with makeup, however I found throughout the day that at least on my normal/combo skin it was a little heavy feeling and my face looked greasy. On the positive side, it didn't break me out or irritate my skin, it was very hydrating and I like that the formula is fragrance free. Overall, I really did enjoy the product, I would just use it differently. I think this SPF would be best used on days when I'm not wearing makeup, or very minimal. If you have very dry skin you might really enjoy this SPF. As I said, it does work well as a sunscreen and for that reason I would purchase aging and will be taking this with me on an upcoming Carribean vacation.

This cleanser is wonderful for those of us with sensitive skin! The rich gel is so refreshing on the skin, and when you add water, it turns into the most beautiful creamy lather! It did a great job at removing my full face of makeup, without leaving my face feeling tight or too dry. This formula is fragrance free, which makes my somewhat sensitive skin happy! I've always been a fan of all things Aveeno, and now that I've discovered this new gem, I'll certainly be repurchasing! One last bonus about this face wash, is how affordable it is! You can pick it up at most big box or drugstores near you.

After a long exhaustive search for the "perfect" setting powder, I came across this gem... Now let me begin by saying I have tried sooo many setting powders, from high-end to drugstore, and I've found a few that I've liked, but none that I've loved. Maybe I was expecting too much out of my powders, but im looking for one that, sets my foundation, blurs imperfections, doesn't look cakey, doesn't settle into fine lines, lasts all day, and doesn't break me out! Basically I'm looking for a miracle. So, the good news is that this one actually ticked all the boxes for me!! My pores vanished, my skin looked luminous yet matte, and I only had to touch up once in a 11 hour span, which is unheard of for me! My previous go to was the Laura Mercier setting powder, and I always felt like it was almost too mattifying. It would look kinda powdery and crepey around my eyes until it had a chance to"melt" into my skin. With this powder, it looks beautiful right away... I've found a winner! Oh, and the scent? For me it's delicious, but you may not like it if you're sensitive to strong scents, although once applied to the face, it does dissipate. -

This is such a beautiful product! I use this oil as the last step in my skin care routine, at night and I awake to beautiful, glowing skin. It has a nice slip to it, so a few drops is all you'll need for your entire face. I don't feel like it's overly greasy feeling, however I personally feel it's too heavy to wear under makeup. If applied at night, by morning my skin feels very hydrated and has a beautiful glow with no greasy feel. This product certainly can hold its own against prestige brands! Amazing value, with amazing results... What more could you ask for? This is a winner! -

I'm so pleased to have the opportunity to review this product! I have been using this for awhile now, and let me tell you, it saved my hair! I thought for the longest time that because I wasn't color treating my hair, it was healthy enough to handle the abuse I put it through on a daily basis. (Blow drying, straightening, curling,etc.) Over time, I began to notice that my once shiny healthy looking hair was looking dull, limp, frizzy, and started breaking off as I would style it! My stylist suggested I use a thermal protection spray before I applied any heat. I came across this tresseme one and off I went. From the first use, I noticed a difference, and with every day since, my hair gets better and better! I spray it on my damp hair before styling, and it kinda seals your hair from the extreme heat. It leaves your hair shiny and soft, never greasy. I have now noticed that my hair is growing, as it's not breaking off like it was. I won't be without this product! The price is amazing too! I just got another bottle last week on sale for just under $6! So good! -
