Wet N Wild Color Icon Blusher in Pearlescent Pink
This stuff is seriously pigmented! It's a beautiful pinky-peach with subtle shimmer- like Nars's famous Orgasm blush, but 10 times more pigmented. For $2.99, it's about 1/10 the price of the Nars version, and I love it! It has so much product in the... +
This stuff is seriously pigmented! It's a beautiful pinky-peach with subtle shimmer- like Nars's famous Orgasm blush, but 10 times more pigmented. For $2.99, it's about 1/10 the price of the Nars version, and I love it! It has so much product in the pan, and it's so well pigmented that a little goes a long way. Definite repurchase! -

This is a pretty reasonably priced drugstore sheet mask, and I love its moisturizing properties. However, I didn't feel as if it did anything to heal or fade my dark spots, so I use it more during the winter to revitalize my skin. It brightens somewhat, but it doesn't actually work on the dark spots. I'd recommend a targeted treatment for those spots, like Garnier's Glycolic Overnight Peel. -

This mask is exorbitantly expensive, but well worth it! I use it only a few times a week (more than that and it might be too irritating or abrasive), and I can definitely feel cleaner pores and tighter skin after I use it. It contains so many beneficial ingredients, and it doesn't have a strange smell like some masks do (it smells mostly like peppermint). Some reviewers on other sites complain about an unbearable stinging, and I concede that there's some sensation upon first application, but I have sensitive, eczema- prone skin, and it didn't bother me. I leave it on for about 10 minutes, and there's no pain or irritation. I love that the mask changes color to show where it's pulling out impurities, and it definitely pulls out potential whiteheads. One warning: it WILL make you break out after you use it, but it's not because the mask is causing it; rather, it's pulling out dirt that would have caused acne in the first place, so don't use it the day right before a big event. Try to plan this mask 1-2 weeks before you'll need flawless skin so that it has time to work it's magic. Other than that, a big splurge, but worth it! Mine was cheaper since it was a combo set from Costco, but at Sephora it's much pricier. -

This product saved me! Although it's not an overnight miracle, it works gradually over time to fade dark spots and renew the skin's natural radiance. I apply it at night, and it doesn't feel heavy or pore-clogging. It also smells very pleasant, and the pump is a very convenient, sanitary dispenser. Quite inexpensive compared to high-end dark spot correctors, and this one is just as (if not, more) effective than those. Must buy! -

I have the sample size of this, and I love it! The doe foot applicator makes it so simple to swipe onto lids, and you barely have to wait any time for it to dry before applying eyeshadow. I can definitely say that my eyeshadow applied more richly and lasted much longer than it did without this product. Definite must if you're wearing eyeshadow (especially during warmer months). -

Initially, I was hugely skeptical of this product. I'd seen rave reviews but thought, How can this super expensive clear gel be any better than other clear gels? How wrong I was. The brush is amazing at combing through my thick brows and dispensing just the right amount of product. The gel keeps my brows in place ALL DAY. No joke. i tried to return to my $1 elf gel, and it just wasn't the same. The Anastasia one doesn't feel heavy; in fact, you don't notice it at all. Highly recommend! -
Almay Smart Shade Anti-Aging Makeup
For the price, you can find something much better than this. While I applaud Almay's efforts at concocting a tone-matching foundation, this was just way too orange for my skin tone. It also clung to any dry patches and applied in such an uneven way... +
For the price, you can find something much better than this. While I applaud Almay's efforts at concocting a tone-matching foundation, this was just way too orange for my skin tone. It also clung to any dry patches and applied in such an uneven way that you could see it cake up after only 2 hours of wear. Rather difficult to blend, patchy coverage, and awful color. Also, the color range is quite dismal (light, light/medium, medium), and the price is just too much for such a terrible product. Steer clear! -

Love this mascara! Best I've ever tried. While the price may intimidate some, you have to realize that this stuff works wonders. I have pathetically short eyelashes, but this miracle mascara lifted, separated, and lengthened like no other product. However, I don't think it's the formulation (although that's great, too- awesome staying power, no flaking) as much as the brush that makes this product. The brush has an innovative spiky ball at the top that you can use to get tiny lashes at the inner/outer corners, making this the easiest mascara to work with. Totally recommend! -
Maybelline Super Stay 10hr Stain Gloss
I actually love this product! It doesn't quite live up to the name "stain gloss" as it acts as more of a stain without any sheen/glossiness, but I love it as a stain patted onto the lips. It works as a nicely pigmented color on its own, or you could... +
I actually love this product! It doesn't quite live up to the name "stain gloss" as it acts as more of a stain without any sheen/glossiness, but I love it as a stain patted onto the lips. It works as a nicely pigmented color on its own, or you could layer on a lipstick to extend the staying power of both the stain and the lipstick. Bonus: it smells like fruit punch! I don't apply it directly from the applicator; rather, I swipe it onto my fingers and then press into my lips. If you try swiping it from the applicator, you'll get a patchy mess. This stain lasts for about 6 hours (not really the 10 hour claim), but it's good enough for me! -
L'Oreal Paris La Couleur Infallible 24HR Eye Shadow

This is one of the best eyeshadow I have ever tried (I have it in Amber Rush), and I've tried so many drugstore and prestige brands. It's around $7 at Target, and it's worth every penny. It's like a loosely pressed pigment that you can pick up with a brush or sweep onto your finger and apply in less than 30 seconds. It lasts all day with no signs of fading or creasing, even without primer! Amber Rush is such a beautiful, shimmering neutral, and it complements any outfit or makeup look. Stay away if you dislike shimmer, but otherwise definitely purchase this! -
