Being Asian, I have stick straight eye lashes. So sometimes, finding a good mascara that has a good formula and that can keep my eye lashes up is hard.
This mascara has both. The only con I have about it is if you have a heavy hand with this mascara is it can make your eye lashes feel a bit brittle, which is a bit scary. So if you are going to use it, don't layer it like crazy. Also, since it is waterproof, you will need something that can cut through waterproof makeup. For me, I use cold cream since I am not really into eye makeup removers and cold cream is gentle around my eyes.
I'm still debating if I would repurchase this mascara but overall, I do like it a lot.

First of all, let me say that I fell into that category of people that would have loved to have brushes from Sigma, etc but never thought about purchasing because I've been happy with other brushes that I have gotten from ELF and some other brands.
When I had received this brush in Tarte's Makin' Waves Best–Selling Summer Essentials Set, I instantly fell in love. The bristles are really soft and dense enough that you could blend liquid or powder foundation with this brush. The brush is synthetic and it allows enough product to deposit onto your skin to give the foundation or bb cream a beautiful finish.
Also, I do find this brush to be very multi-functioning. I love using it for blush or bronzer. If you can try to get this brush in a bundle if it's possible because it is costly on it's own. But if you do decide to go for it, it's worth every penny!

As a woman that only got really into makeup a few years ago, I loved and still love my YouTube. So I saw the evolution of gurus such as Bubzbeauty and Michelle Phan rave about the beauty blender. I never understood how much of a difference it could make! I had some misconception that the beauty blender was like those makeup sponge pieces; those sponges didn't really wow me.
I think I bought my first beauty blender 3 years ago and I don't regret the purchase. It makes my bb cream and concealer look flawless. I love using this sponge for days I only want to use concealer and powder on my face. It gives this nice effortless look to products and helps to make face makeup look natural and almost air brushed.

Love love love this stuff!!!
It is so light weight and it absorbs quickly! It doesn't leave a tacky feeling behind but rather this almost silky feeling. There is a bit of a smell but I find it does not linger like other sunscreens do such as the Shiseido Ultra Sun Protection does. I love how simple it is to apply without worrying about having to wait for the sunscreen to dry.
Given that I have tried a mixture of different drug store and department store facial sun screens, I am ok with the price I have to pay for the Lancome one. A little goes a long way so don't be intimidated by the small 50 ml bottle.
If you are into flash photography, this will not give you a white cast. Do I recommend it for sensitive skin? I'm unsure as everybody has different skin types and sensitivity. For example, my one girlfriend didn't react to it at first but then with a few more uses, her skin was not impressed. But with my other girlfriend that also has sensitive skin didn't have a reaction with this sunscreen and it's been working perfectly for her.

I love this stuff when I want a more gentle exfoliation on my face. I don't use it all of t he time due to the price and how hard it was find over here in Toronto. I found mine at Pacific Mall but boy, was it ever a tear jerker.
It works well to get the dead skin cells off and it feels very gentle. It does have a bit of a chemically kind of smell but it's not overwhelming. The consistency is liquidy, so at first, I wasn't sure if it was working. But after using it a few more times, I could see that it was.
My skin absorbed my moisturizer and serums better. I will purchase this again but I am definitely going to use it a lot more sparingly.

I love Josie Maran's Argan Oil Light! It's definitely a multi-purpose product. It's amazing for my thin hard to give it a healthy boost for the ends. It works perfectly on my oily/combo skin without making my face oily! I've used this on the rest of my body and my cuticles. I cannot find anything negative about it. It's worth every penny. Granted, it is a bit pricey. I live in Canada, and to get it at Sephora, I believe it's $60 tax per bottle. But that bottle will last you! The first time I ever tried the product was through a gift that my best friend had gotten me. That deluxe sample of the oil lasted me a good 2 months.
Needless to say, a little does go a long way, so regardless of the price, it is something that will last me a while before it runs out! In fact, I am near the first bottle I bought probably 6 months ago and I've used it daily!

Sadly, I have oily eyelids so I've always stayed away from eyeshadow. I've tried the one from ELF before and it didn't work for me, I still had problems with creasing. I was very hesitant to purchase this because at that time, Sephora was more of eye candy for me and nothing more. But I splurged a bit and got myself the Naked palette a long time ago and it came with the primer. When I tested it, it was a total game changer! Before I finished my mini one, I went out and got the full sized tube. Now I can use my shadows with confidence and knowing it won't crease by the end of the day or night! -
Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional
I have fairly big pores and this stuff works well to make my makeup look more flawless. I've used other primers before and they have never made the cut as this one did. It's doesn't break me out, so that is always a major perk!

For a powder that's supposed to be a "beauty balm" it doesn't not do its intended job. It feels soft when you swatch it but when you apply it with a brush, it just looks powdery and inconsistent. The colour range is poor. I got the one in medium/deep as I have more of a medium-tan complexion. I feel like it's too light and there are products where there are times, I can get away with medium. (In Canada) This is already a high price (around $20 each) for a drugstore product and for that price, I am better off going either cheaper with Maybeline, Covergirl or go higher end with too faced, etc. -

Although it may sound excessive, paired along with the Bioderma Sebium H2O Purifying Cleansing Micelle Solution, my skin has been so happy!
I use the Sebium H2O for the mornings and the Sensibio H2O for the evenings. I cannot say anything negative about this product. It feels very gentle when you are using it and most importantly, doesn't irritate my eyes when I need to remove makeup off around my eye area. Also, it doesn't tug at my eye area, I can just hold the cotton pad there for 1 second and swipe it gently and most if not all of the makeup is off my eyes
