e.l.f. Cosmetics Eyeshadow Brush
This is a great brush for only $1. Although there are other better quality eyeshadow brushes on the market, this brush does the job just as well and the price can't be beaten!

The Quo Beauty On The Go palette came out with Quo's 2011 holiday collection. I got this as a Christmas gift from my best friend. Here's what the packaging says about this palette:
"This elegant compact holds 3 dazzling lipsticks, 3 marvelous eye shadows, and 1 just-the-right-touch blush. Includes handy applicators for lip, eye and face, making this palette perfect for your on-the-go makeup needs."
I couldn't agree more with what the packaging says, it's a sleek palette with a lace/flower effect - super gorgeous and compact enough to carry everywhere! There is a plastic film that protects the lipsticks which I really like, it avoids any of the powder products getting in them.
The lip colors are pretty very pretty and compliment any look. The eye shadows are all shimmery - there is a light beige shade, a light taupe bronze and then a darker true bronze color; they are all beautiful and long lasting shadows! Last but not least the palette comes with a blush - this is my favorite part of this palette and I will forever be on the hunt for a dupe for this blush until I find one. It really is the perfect just-the-right-touch blush and I have been wearing it every day since I got the palette. It is a peachy coral-y pink shade and it compliments my pale skin tone so nicely.
I have no complaints about this palette, I simply adore it! I have included photos.

I saw these at Walmart a couple weeks ago, and what actually gravitated me towards trying them was the first shade I purchased - 35 Tough as Taupe (a matte true taupe color). I am in love with taupe eyeshadow and I wear it all the time, so I had to get the taupe one for only $6.96.
I have super oily eyelids, and let me tell you, this lasted for 24 hours on my eyelids, without creasing the slightest bit. I was really shocked because nothing I have ever tried has lasted that long on these lids!
With those results, I went back to Walmart and picked up 05 Too Cool (a white shimmery/sparkly color) so I could see if the formula and lasting power were the same as the matte formula. I can say that both formulas last long and have great pigmentation that last all day.
In regards to packaging, they are in a 4g glass pot with a plastic lid. The lid goes on super tight so the product won't dry out, and the packaging is durable and strong so it won't break if you drop it or carry it around with you in your handbag.
A couple of things that I did not enjoy about this product:
It is hard to blend with fingers, I find it easier to apply with a brush for wet shadows. I also found that really creamy eyeshadows do not work when placed on top of this product - when I tried it, the creamy powder shadow I used on my lids transferred to my crease.
Over all these are amazing and last until you take them off. I am a fan and I do recommend! :)

I am a huge fan of all Britney Spears perfumes, but this one has to be my ultimate favorite of them all! The packaging and the bottle are glamorous, and the scent of this perfume is unique and sophisticated. It can be worn during the day or for any occasion at night. This scent lasts on my clothes until I wash them and on my skin until I take a shower. I love how this smells and I didn't have anything like this one in my collection so I just had to get it. britneyspearsbeauty.com describes this scent as:
Luscious berries and dewy petals unfold to reveal a radiant heart of luminous pure white flowers, lit from within by the glow of precious amber, woods and sexy musk.
Key Notes:
Alluring – Top notes of luscious wild berries and soft dewy petals convey a feeling of unparalleled allure.
Sensual – In the radiant heart, a pure white bouquet of tuberose, jasmine, orange flower and iris exudes an unforgettable feminine aura.
Captivating – Captivating cashmere woods and luminous amber are wrapped in the sensual glow of skin musk. :
I feel pretty when I am wearing it and I hope you all take the time to smell it if you see it in the store, you will love it too! :)

I am not usually drawn to Maybelline products, but something told me I must try this. I bought mine in 10.Peppermint and I really love it! This one is completely clear with no color but it is more moisturizing than EOS lip balm and Carmex in my opinion. This has done wonders for my lips and mine are super chapped, so if you need a good lip treatment, I strongly recommend picking up one of these!! -

Here is a quote from my review on my blog:
"Unfortunately I do not find these lip butters very hydrating at all. If you have already smooth and soft lips, you may consider these hydrating. For people like me though, who live in cold climates and always have dry and chapped lips, these are not the product to use for moisturizing. This is mainly what bothers me the most about this product. Revlon claims these lip butters should give you baby soft and healthy lips, that it should boost lip moisture and that it will provide supercharged hydration. This is exactly what I expected when I purchased them but all they really turned out to be is a lipstick with a glossy finish that provides a tiny bit of moisture.
With that being said, I otherwise really love these lip butters!! They are glossy, shiny, pigmented, long lasting and the 20 shades Revlon has to offer are gorgeous. Some of them have a shimmery/glitter finish and some have a cream finish. I use them as lipsticks and make sure to have already moisturized lips before applying them and they look amazing. If you have cracked, chapped or dry lips - DO NOT apply this product. It will look cakey and just not pretty.
One more thing: don't let the delicious names of the shades deceive you, they are unscented for the most part!"

Hey ladies! I just wanted to tell you all about these awesome eyeshadows that came out with the Fall 2011 collection from Hard Candy! These shadows are a wet to dry formula and they are super pigmented! They are very metallic and you must work quickly with them as they do dry fast. Once dried, they do not budge, so they are also great for using as liner on the upper and lower lash line and in the inner corner/tear duct of the eye because they last for so long. I highly recommend these, they come in 10 or 12 different shades and they are all amazing, I can't wait to get some more! -

These lip glosses are super amazing, here is what I had to say about them on my blog (link to my blog is on my profile :) )
"The shades I own shown in the photo are "Fairy" (a very light baby pink color with multi colored glitters), "Fireball" (a hot red color with glitter that shines gold, green and orange!) and "Gorgeous" (a berry pink color with similar glitter to what is the red shade). If you do not like glittery lip gloss, then I definitely don't recommend these ones to you. They are so glittery, shiny and glossy. I personally love glittery glosses, so these ones are right up my alley! In regards to the packaging these lip glosses are huge! The wand and the sponge tip applicator are so much larger when you compare them to the size of a regular average gloss. The formula itself is ever so slightly sticky (barely noticeable but enough to make the gloss last a long time) and I would say the glosses have medium pigmentation.

I use this mousse all the time for my naturally curly hair and I love it! Although I switch it up from time to time, I will always repurchase this one. It's such a nice mousse, not sticky, it eliminates frizz and it really does define curls well. I love products from this brand so much, so of course I do recommend this mousse to anyone who has wavy/curly hair! -
