I had high hopes for this eyeliner, but I was really let down. It's a pen style, so you just remove the cap and apply the eyeliner. I purchased the color 01 Carbon Black, but it didn't live up to its name. The liner wasn't very opaque or black at all, and I constantly had to shake the liner to get product out. The tip is very thin but I find that the liner either barely comes out, or it runs all over. Other people seem to have had great luck with this eyeliner pen. I wish I liked it but it just didn't work for me. Disappointed. -

I've seen great things about these palettes on YouTube and other places on the internet. I was disappointed to know that Sleek Makeup is not available in the USA, but luckily, the Sleek website ships to America. YAY! I picked up some sleek products including two of the iDivine eyeshadow palettes and I cannot wait to pick up some more. The quality of these eyeshadows is wonderful -- they're richly pigmented and apply smoothly. Another perk of these palettes is the price -- you get 10 great eyeshadows for $10 USD. Totally recommend these and other sleek products to anyone who can get their hands on them! -

Nars eyeshadows are definetely up there in price, but they're also up there in price. I have two their duos, one in Portobello (2 matte brown shades) and one in All About Eve (2 light shimmery shades). The shadows themselves are very smooth and buttery, as well as very pigmented. The colors aren't particularly amazing or anything, but they're very nice and if you feel like treating yourself, I recommend these 100%. -

I've wanted to try this eyeshadow for so long after hearing everyone on the internet rave about it. For the most part, I always have trouble with champagne colored eyeshadows on my lids. They just make my eyes look red and puffy. This eyeshadow is different. It looks AMAZING and I think I'm in love. The formulation is really nice -- the shadow is so buttery and smooth and glides on my eyes with so much pigmentation. The color is absolutely gorgeous and shiny without being too glittery. While this was a little pricey and definitely a splurge, it was totally worth it. I recommend this eyeshadow to everyone and anyone. It's perfect! -

This is my absolute favorite eyeliner for the waterline. I have the color "tiger's eye" and I'm not sure what's so special about it, it's just the perfect color. Normally, liner on the waterline makes my light brown eyes looks small and beady. But this color really makes my eyes stand out. I love the formula of this liner -- it isn't as long wearing as some other liners, but it's decent, and the texture is certainly very smooth and creamy. I would totally recommend this and can't wait to try the other colors. -

I was really intrigued by this product -- it's a powder foundation, but it's.. wet..? To say the least, I was disappointed. This product is truly unique, but horrible quality. It's meant to be a powder foundation with a "natural" or maybe even "satin" finish. All it did was accentuate my pores and that's about it. It didn't even my complexion at all. I just looked like a blotchy disco ball. The texture of this is certainly interesting. It looks like powder, but when you touch it or apply it to you skin it immediately feels wet. It's difficult and weird to explain. This is definitely not worth the money. Despite the waste, I still feel compelled to use it up. I actually do enjoy this as an eyeshadow. On days when I'm feeling lazy, I apply a wash of this from lashline to browbone and it does a good job of brightening my eyes while evening out the color and hiding veins/redness. I don't recommend it and wouldn't repurchase it. -

I do really like this product -- but it isn't worth the price tag. The undercover pot comes with two concealers (which can be bought individually) and a setting powder. One concealer is creamy and slightly peach toned, nice for under the eyes. The other concealer is much thicker and more of a skin tone color, great for concealing spots and blemishes. The setting powder is very fine and applies smoothly (used to set the undereye concealer). Overall, I do like this. It's very convenient and absolutely perfect for travel. However, the $34 USD price tag is a huge turnoff. I wouldn't repurchase it. Sonia Kashuk makes a very similar product -- the Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette, which I might say is an even better product.

This foundation is the best long-wearing foundation I've ever used. I much prefer this over my Revlon Colorstay. The packaging is sturdy -- your typical glass bottle (no pump). The product itself is rather thick but still liquidy. It's fully coverage but breathable and not heavy. My favorite way to apply this is with a Beauty Blender -- you can easily sheer it out or build it up. The formula doesn't transfer and is truly long-wearing. It's perfect for long days at school or work as well as for parties or nights out. Definitely up there on my list of favorite foundations, period. Totally recommend it! -

BareMinerals has always been one of my favorite brands, and they never let me down. All of their concealers (both mineral and cream) are great, but my favorite in particular is called "Well-Rested." It's a brightening under eye powder great for all light-medium skintones. You can use it on its own or to set your liquid/cream concealer. It does the most amazing job at brightening the area and it makes you look wide awake! The price isn't bad either, considering how much product you get ($18 USD for 2 grams). A little bit goes a very long way -- use a light hand and a loose brush. I totally recommend this. -

This is my favorite eyeliner for smudging on the upper lashline and also great for the waterline. This is a twist-up, crayon style eyeliner -- very long wearing and creamy. This is a pretty smudgy, soft eyeliner, not so great for the lower lashline, but it's great for smudging on the upper lashline -- it diffuses nicely for a very soft and pretty effect. One of the best things about this eyeliner is the price, less than $4 USD at Target. Totally recommend it. -
