I love this palette!! I was originally going to the store to purchase the Covergirl TruNaked Nudes palette, but saw this one first. The price was around $7 for this, vs the CG at $11 or $12. Also, the Lovatics palette has a lot more shades. Definitely all neutrals, but has a nice mix of matte and shimmery in light to dark colors. On the back of the package, there are little diagrams of which colors to use together for either a basic day look, a glam look, or a more dramatic look. I've tried the day look for work, and the colors lasted in the same intensity from when I applied them in the morning until I got home at night. I do use a primer underneath (UD primer potion), but that is fairly standard for most products out there these days to prevent creasing and maximize the staying power if you have oily eyelids like me. I would definitely recommend this product! It is amazing! -
NYC Expert Last Lipstick

I purchased 6 shades of this at Walmart for 2/$3 sale, some matte and some pearly finish. I really love the matte mauve color, and the modern love pearly color. I would say that you should wear a lip balm on your lips first before putting these on, as they are not super moisturizing (but then I do have crazy dry lips). They are very soft and very pigmented when applied, and, like most soft moisturizing lip colors, they need to be reapplied every couple of hours. Which I kinda like doing anyway, cuz then you get to have fun playing with your makeup all throughout your day as well. For a long-lasting color payoff, I would say these are not the product to go with, though, as they will not last through your first coffee break. -

I purchased the roses palette and absolutely love it! I think the price is great for the amount of product you get. There is a nice mix of matte and shimmery shades, so you can easily get a daytime wear-to-work-everyday look, as well as a much more dramatic nighttime look. The shadows are a little powdery, so there is a risk of fallout, as previously mentioned in other reviews, but that's to be expected with a drugstore eyeshadow palette. I would definitely recommend wearing an eyeshadow primer underneath, but that is also pretty standard for both drugstore and high end brands of eyeshadow now. I use it with the UD primer potion, and the matte colors look the same at the end of the day as they do at the beginning. -

I had been using the Outlast 3-in-1 foundation, and was finding that although there was great coverage, it was leaving me feeling more dry in the winter months. I really like that this product does not do that. It has the same amount of coverage as the 3-in-1, but doesn't dry me out so much. It also lasts all day, and I hardly even need to use blotting papers throughout my day (I have a really oily t-zone, and I usually have to blot 2-3 times per work day). I will definitely be repurchasing this. Also, I love the packaging! Squeeze tubes are so much better for getting product out than the pump on the Outlast 3-in-1 (you always have about 1/8 of the product left where you can't get to it), or the glass bottles like the Clean foundation (I always feel like I'm gonna bruise my hand when I keep whacking it on there to get the product out). Definitely recommend this Ready, Set, Gorgeous over those. And lastly, how cute is the name? :) -
COVERGIRL Full Lash Bloom Mascara
I found this mascara to be too mouse-y (spelling?) feeling for me. I prefer wetter mascara. It was definitely light weight, however, and no clumping. Very large brush made it difficult to reach the corners and the lower lash line. I usually love... +
I found this mascara to be too mouse-y (spelling?) feeling for me. I prefer wetter mascara. It was definitely light weight, however, and no clumping. Very large brush made it difficult to reach the corners and the lower lash line. I usually love Covergirl mascaras, and always purchase CG before another brand, but this one just didn't do it for me. -
