These pigments (and BareMinerals) are my all time favorites. They're a little pricey, but I find that the insane amount of product you get (enough to last, like, forever) justifies that. They're really "pigmented," as the name would suggest and they blend nicely. You can use these either wet or dry, which is nice, too. The colors are gorgeous and the quality is fab. -

I alternate between this and my MAC paintpot. This REALLY prevents creasing -- I wear my eyeshadow literally all day long -- sometimes 12 hours and it never fades or creases. A little goes a long way and one tube lasts forever. The one thing I don't like about this is that it's so sheer -- it doesn't cancel out the redness or veins on my eyelids, which I wish it did. I think they may actually have more than one formula of this now, so that's something to look into. I prefer this 100 times over UDPP -- that's too thick and gets all cakey and patchy on my eyelids. Too Faced Shadow Insurance is the way to go! -

These eyeshadows are GREAT -- especially from the drugstore. They come in a very wide variety of colors and finishes, which is absolutely amazing, as you don't see that from many drugstore brands. The shadows are very pigmented and the texture is very smooth and soft. I love these are recommend them to everybody! x -

I can't put my finger on exactly what it is, but I find myself reaching for these shadows more often than my other ones, be it drugstore or high end. These shadows come in SO many different gorgeous colors -- they're something for everybody and you can create nearly any look. I prefer to buy the pans (rather than the pots) so I can put them in my own palettes. That's probably why I reach for my MAC palette the most -- the colors are all of my favorites. The shadows are very pigmented (though I have one or two shades that are slightly lacking compared to the others), they're soft and blendable and just plain nice quality. The price of MAC's shadows seems to fluctuate a lot.. They used to be $11USD (for the pan), then they went up to $12USD and came all the way back down to $10. I don't recommend buying a ton of these shadows at once -- just buy one here and there when you find a color that's a "must-have" and slowly build up your collection -- it's fun! Totally recommend. -

This blush is absolutely gorgeous. The color is perfect -- it's a matte, peachy/orange shade (don't be scared, it's beautiful). It's a really warm, subtle everyday color. The powder is very soft and extremely pigmented -- you barely have to touch your brush to the product for great color payoff. It blends well and doesn't look too harsh, and it's VERY long wearing. Lots of blushes fade throughout the day, but this stays put. This is my first MAC blush but I can't wait to try more and at this point, I'd totally recommend them. I feel like this color would look great on practically anybody -- it's perfect!! x -

This has quickly become my favorite eyeshadow palette of all time -- I LOVE it! This palette trumps all of my other palettes, including both the Naked and Naked 2 palettes (as much as I love them). You can seriously achieve ANY eye look with the Lorac Pro Palette. The best part is that you get a row of matte shades and a row of shimmery/satin shades. You get all the essential colors -- neutral highlight, blending, and lid shades, etc. The packaging is nice and so is the primer that comes with the palette. The shadows themselves are phenomenal -- so buttery and smooth and SO pigmented. Totally worth the money and the hype. LOVE!!! x -

I've repurchased this mascara literally 20 times. Since I first tried it about 4 years ago, I've never used anything else and I've never found anything else that even comes close to comparing. This makes my eyelashes look so big and voluminous and thick and dark and it's absolutely gorgeous. It doesn't smudge or flake and I just can't say enough good things about it. Love it so much! xx -

These duos have quickly become my go-to for eyeshadow. I have two -- Portobello (2 matte, medium brown shades) and All About Eve (two light, shimmery shades). I use Portobello on the lid and in the crease, and I highlight the browbone and inner corner with All About Eve. It's the perfect everyday neutral eye. These are really convenient for both every day and for travel. The shadows are AMAZING quality -- really buttery and really smooth. The price tag isn't my favorite and I won't be buying a ton of these duos, but when I run out of the two I have, I'll totally repurchase them. -

Overall, I really like this foundation. I've only just gotten into MAC products this year, and I was a little hesitant at first because I've heard many instances of MAC products breaking people out. The girl at the MAC counter recommended this particular foundation to me, color-matched me, etc., and was really helpful. This foundation has medium to full coverage. It's very blendable and goes on smoothly. I apply it with my flat-top kabuki brush and it doesn't get streaky or patchy. Sometimes it cakes up around my nose because I'm very dry there, but nothing too extreme. I don't recommend this for very dry skin because I don't think it's hydrating enough -- too drying. This foundation is very long wearing -- with most foundations, when I take it off at the end of the day, barely any makeup is left. The amount of makeup left at the end of my ten, sometimes 12 hour day, is amazing! It's long wearing, controls my oil, and is all-around really nice! Totally worth a shot, especially since you can return it if you don't like it! x -

Overall, this was a really nice primer. It made my pores less noticeable and really evened out the texture of my skin. I noticed that my foundation lasted a little longer than usual, but nothing major. This is a nice primer, but I don't see anything about it that makes it worth the price tag, so I won't repurchase it. -
