I am so happy that I got to test out and review the #LancomeTIUstick. As someone who always uses a cream contour product for my everyday makeup routine, I knew that this would be an all star. I'll admit that I was a bit unimpressed by the packaging, as I wish the tube covered the entire stick of foundation. I'm always scared to nick the stick with the cap! All in all, the foundation felt very light on the skin, and extremely pigmented. The shade 420 BISQUE (N) is a really nice warm contour shade for my very light complexion. I can't speak too much to the oil-free claim, though it did stay in place all day long - definitely no smudging.
I prefer the convenient stick to a pan of cream contour product that I need to pick up with a brush. I used my e.l.f. Studio Mineral Powder brush to blend in the product once it was on my face (See images above for my routine). No product was wasted on the brush. I would surely recommend this product to my friends, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the lighter shades work as foundation.

Hardys Stamp Riesling Gewurztraminer
Yes yes yes. So light, so fresh. I can't wait to have this with fish! Really delicious and refreshing when it's chilled. Hello, $10-ish bucks. Received for review at Chick Advisor Showcase

Hardys Stamp Shiraz Cabernet
Just scrumptious. A really approachable red with deep and delicious tannins. It was easy to drink and would go perfect with steak. Not too dry, almost creamy to the taste. Received for review at Chick Advisor Showcase

L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Féline Mascara

Totally love the short comb-like bristles of this mascara. I always have good luck with L'Oreal, and this one doesn't disappoint. Kinda reminds me of CoverGirl LashBlast! My go-to rubber brush mascara. Though this isn't my holy grail right now, (I prefer CoverGirl Flamed Out) its a nice option for those who like simple rubber brushes. -

They can be a bit drying, but the silky texture feels great on hydrated lips.

Really really nice, compact mattifyer. The price is a bit high, but it's super luxe and can be used in many ways. I love it as a makeup topper mid-way through the day to dull down the shine. I apply by tapping a bit on the T-Zone using my fingers!

Simple Kind To Skin Exfoliating Facial Wipes
This is an awesome product for lip swatches! High quality cloths with no fragrance. A really nice texture that I haven't felt in any other cloths. They could feel rough around sensitive eyes, but took off my lips and face like a dream.

This Beauty Elixir is formulated with rosemary, peppermint and orange blossom. It's an amazing toning mist that can be used to set makeup, or provide an instant burst of freshness and tightness to a tired complexion. I love keeping it on my desk or in my travel bag for a serious shot of glow and hydration. I find that it is a bit too much for my sensitive skin if I spray it on to a bare face. I always apply it over makeup -

I first got this in a Luxe Box and I thought that the green-ish shade was super weird. After using it for a few months, I've really begun to like it! I'll use this over a powder or pencil when I want a hint of darkness and extra hold if my brows are feeling rowdy. It isn't a sticky formula and the small cone-shaped brush works great for precise application. -

Medium/Deep
This brow-volumizing fiber gel is absolutely lovely. Whether I'm layering it over the Maybelline Pomade or using it alone to amp up my bare brows, I've begun to use it a lot more. It resides in my makeup bag for on-the-go application, so I'll definitely consider buying the Essence "Make Me Brow Eyebrow Gel Mascara" for $5 at Shoppers since it's the perfect dupe.
