I have tried a lot of hair dyes, from drugstore to high end. Joico Colour Intensity has become my holy grail. Unlike a lot of other unnatural coloured dyes (I'm looking at you Raw/Manic Panic) it does not bleed (I can finally wear white) so it doesn't leave stain all over my clothes or pillow. The colours are really vibrant (I have tried several different colours). Longivity does vary by colour as it does with most dyes. Absolutely love it! Have been using it for a year and will continue to do so! -
St. Ives® Skin Renewing Collagen Elastin Body Lotion
It's great for normal skin but not something I would recommend dryer skin. My hands tend to get really dry during winter so it's not really useful then. I think there are better products out there.

A made a quick list based on my thoughts. I've been using the products regularly for a few months now. My go to shade is LIPLI12 Exotic. It's a lovely neutral, nude pink which compliments my medium skin tone really well.
Pros:
- Long lasting
- Very pigmented
- Wide range of colours for almost every skin tone
Cons:
- Like most liquid lipsticks, it can be a bit dry
It's a great everyday lipstick for me. Throw a little bit of gloss on top if you want to change it up a little. That can also help with the dryness.

In order to keep this simple, I made a pro and con list. This product was used to help cover acne scars and under eye circles. I have an oily/combination skin type which is also acne prone.
Pros:
- Very lightweight
- Easily to blend
- Can be used on its own
- Buildable
Cons:
- Not for under eye circles. With setting powder, the product does not last more than 4 or 5 hours.
- There is a tiny amount of oxidizing, maybe 1/3 to 1/2 a shade. I'm not really bothered by that since it's barely noticeable. I just wanted to point that out.
The thing is, it claimed to be high coverage which it was not. I had to layer it on at least twice every time. Sometimes 3 if I had a particularly dark acne scar.

To keep this simple, I created a pro and con list. See below.
Pros:
- Keeps me matte for hours
- Does a decent job of blurring pores
- I can use it without make up and no one ever notices
- Does not cause me to break out
Cons:
- If you use too much, the excess will start rubbing off
It is a white cream like primer so the texture is on the thicker side. I have oily/combination which is acne prone. It's a great drugstore option.

I've been using this fountain for a few weeks now and it's good. It has good coverage and stays put for the most part. To make it easier, I created a pro and con list.
Pros:
- It stays put for the most part. It only separates on my nose.
- Great coverage
- Has a little bit if SPF (you should still use sunscreen)
- Stays matte
- Sits well on the skin if you're only using one layer
Cons
- It oxides about a shade or two so buy a shade lighter than you normally would.
- It always separates on my nose after a few hours
- Not the easiest to build on oily/combination skin
As mentioned above, I have oily/combination skin. For $15 a bottle, it's does the job well.

Nyx Cosmic Metals Lip Creams are one of the most matellic lipsticks I have ever used. The colours are really pigmented and OMG the shine is ridiculous. My favourite colour is Crystallized Metal and it is absolutely gorgeous. I sometimes layer it onto other lipsticks to give them a slight matellic look. Be careful though, they are really opaque so you might end up hiding the first colour if it's on the lighter side.
I would like to point out, this is not an everyday wearable metallic. It is really strong, not subtle at all. High gloss and shine. The pictures were shot indoors.
