Urban Decay All Nighter Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray
I do enjoy this setting spray as one of the most effective ones out there. Love that there are three different choices so that it really can capture every need.

Great product. Awesome for oily skin, like mine. Very natural finish and has an SPF of 15. Whenever I wear this people don't think I'm actually wearing foundation. The only thing I didn't like was that is had a little trouble blending into the skin and ended up collecting in small areas, like around my nose. -

Now keep in mind that this review is very subjective considering I'm a lighter skinned girl. This kit is a zero for me and anyone who is light skinned. The colours are way too dark, mismatched and go on very heavy. They don't compliment the face, the highlight portion being a pure match for the skin tone and the contour portion being way too dark. The only way I think this palette would work on a lighter skin tone is if the colours are mixed to create a lighter contour. Otherwise, for anyone who is too light to wear Too Faced's Chocolate Soleil, prepare to look really scary.
Oh, and the brush is horrible, too. Way too fluffy to be precise for any part of the application.

Another slam dunk by Fresh in the lip department. They're relatively new Sugar Lip Shine Treatments are beautiful glosses in an array of colours that don't stick and really hydrate the lips while adding a pop of beautiful colour and shine. They're just as pigmented as their balm counterparts and feel so lovely on the lips. They still have that sweet taste, as well. The only thing that I would say is not good is that, unlike their balm counterparts, they do not have SPF. But for everything else they bring, we can live with that. -

I usually am very in love with fresh and I have to say, this product was super iffy. Maybe I didn't put enough or didn't use it often enough, but honestly I felt like my lips were maybe a little plumper than usual but they were very sore. Didn't help at all with smoothing or moisturizing. Maybe i'd use this if I need a little extra plumpness, but at least next time I'll be prepared for the soreness that comes with it. -

I have to say, I truly did not expect this to work. For that reason, I ended up a little more tanned than I hoped the first time I used this product, haha! Don't let the fact that it goes on clear fool you, you will develop a very dark tan. It's natural looking, seemed to be a little splotchy at first but that went away after about a day, so it ends up very even. I would recommend a good exfoliation after the tan develops to remove the excess and to open the skin for a deep tan. The lasting power is great, too. Do recommend as it is quick, easy and it works. -
Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Polish & Miracle Gel Top Coat

I can't say more beyond I love this product! I do my own nails and, because I prefer the stiletto look, my nails tend to bend at the tips and break. Not only does the miracle gel look like gel, it also feels like gel in the sense where it strengthens the nails and they no longer bend or break. As an added plus, I have a beautiful gel manicure in less than 15 minutes. It dries super fast, and the finish is absolutely beautiful. Sold! -
Crest Whitestrips
Truthfully when it comes to Crest Whitestrips, I kind of feel like they're a huge rip off. I mean, they're good for that instant whitening feel but it really doesn't last more than a few days. For the price of $60, it's just not worth it. The only... +
Truthfully when it comes to Crest Whitestrips, I kind of feel like they're a huge rip off. I mean, they're good for that instant whitening feel but it really doesn't last more than a few days. For the price of $60, it's just not worth it. The only time I use them is when I get them free through a dentist friend. -

I was very excited to try this product because I heat style my hair very often. I imagined that this product would really protect my hair as well as leave it smooth and silky. However, it did none of those things. My hair is much drier since I've used this product, it feels like straw and is just overall in bad shape. I'm really not happy and really disappointed considering Bumble & Bumble usually makes much better products. Truthfully, I get better protection from my GOT2B, so I would really recommend to skip this one and opt for something else. -

Wow! This is one of the most amazing products I've ever tried in my life. Beautiful creamy product, applies easily, gives you time to smudge it or play with it and once it sets, it does not move. Simple to work with, can create a simple line to an exaggerated cat eye easily. Anyone from a beginner to a professional will enjoy working with this product. Comes in so many colours, all very pigmented and all true to colour. Can be used even as an eye shadow base. You can even layer them on top of each other to create different colours. I've used this technique to create a rainbow liner which I'll include a picture for so you can see. Overall, just a fantastic product that at a price like $12 a pencil, you'll want to buy one in every colour. -
