I love thick, big, bold lashes so I was very excited to see the brush style on this mascara. It has a nice thick applicator with a brush ball on the end for precision and more focused application.
Upon my first use of it, I noticed that the brush ball on the end holds waaaaay more mascara than it should, so I had to scrape off as much as possible before using it. Even after that, it still applied very liquidy, but also very clumpy. It was just way too much. I actually had to grab a brush from a different mascara to try and fix the mess this mascara made. It's unfortunate because it seemed to have such good potential.
No amount of money is a good amount of money to pay for this product. I'll never buy or use it again. It is definitely one of the worst mascaras I have ever tried.

I love this line and how visually appealing all of their products are, but find it too expensive for my cheap tastes. If we're being honest though, it really is worth every penny! It lasts a long time, and it's a quality and dependable product.
Packaging: I love the compact it comes in! Clear top to see the cute heart designs and a separate compartment for the brush and mirror. In the aforementioned compartment, the bottom has a plastic "screen" of sorts to allow any loose powder to fall out off the brush instead of clouding up the mirror. I like this feature but it may also be an inconvenience if the powder falls through onto something of importance (I.e. Something that can be stained).
Brush: The brush is definitely cute, but due to its thin and flat shape, I only use it when I'm in a pinch and don't have access to my regular blush brush.
Blush: I like the different tones included to combine and create a beautiful warm blush and shimmery glow with its highlighter component.
Overall, I do love this line and this particular product, but due to it's price I only buy it when it's on sale. One downside that does bother me about this product is that the cute hearts...well some of them become unevenly used, and they are separate pieces compacted together...so when some of them wear down the rest begin to separate. This is annoying because it eventually breaks up into pieces that get stuck in the brush, or fall out, or basically just render it no longer useful. And considering the price, I don't think any should be going to waste...but perhaps that is the price we pay to have pretty designs?

This Sparkling Limoncello nourishing hand cream from Bath & Body Works is honestly amazing! It smells so good that I have to remind myself it's lotion and will not taste as good as it smells, haha. The fragrance is fresh, sour, sweet, and clean all combined into one.
The lotion is thick so as to create a nice barrier on the skin, but it absorbs quickly, so there is no heavy, greasy, or ever-wet feeling. It dries fast, leaving a velvety barrier on your skin, protecting them for hours. This is one of my all time faves! I love the quality and efficiency of this lotion—and all for a fair price!

This Sheer Envy Skin Perfecting Primer from Hard Candy will have you jumping up and down when you realize you're getting a quality product for a small price!!
The primer comes out thick and almost grainy looking, but don't let that scare you! It glides on like a dream, leaving your skin looking and feeling silky soft. As you apply it, you can physically watch your imperfections fade away to reveal a face that is glowing and smooth. Though the primer seems heavy, it is so light on the skin once applied, not thick and cakey.
Do not apply too much primer or rub it on for too long or else it will ball up and the milky white gel balls that form can be annoying to brush away.
As far as applying foundation on top of this primer, a sponge or brush is your best bet for proper blending. I find it adds a little bit of an orange tinge with bb cream if it is applied with fingers.
This product is great for long-lasting wear! By the end of the day and even the night, I still feel and see it. Long-lasting but still a breeze to wash off.

I purchased the brow duo in light medium. On the one side there is two shades of light to medium brown powders, in the center is 2 brushes and a mirror, and on the other side is a clear wax and a light and shimmery highlighter.
Packaging: Simple, useful, and fairly compact. The center of the case contains a mirror and a compartment for the 2 included brushes, one rounded, one angled. I like this because it keeps the mirror from getting covered in product, though the mirror is small so I tend not to use it much anyways. But in a bind it's nice to have there.
Brushes: I like that it came with 2 different brushes, but I wish there was one more. One for wax, a double ended one for brow powder, and one for highlighter. The brush quality is decent, especially considering the price.
Powder: I am dirty blonde and the two different tones of brown make it easy to blend the right shade to match my brows. I've had problems in the past being able to closely match my brow colour with powders and pencils, so this duo has honestly been a game changer for me. However, at times, I do find that the powder goes on a little uneven or patchy.
Wax: I use the clear wax beforehand to help shape my brows and it works okay.
Highlighter: The highlighter was almost a little sticky rather than more of a powder. With that consistency, I find it hard to put it on after my brows are complete without risking smudging them, so I just skip this highlighter and use a different one.
Overall, this product is great for powder brow beginners and seasoned vets alike. Great bang for your buck!
