I loved this stuff it made my hair very soft and it tamed all my flyaways and smoothed my ends. it's a cream so it absorbs right into the hair and I found even if you put in too much it's very forgiving and didn't feel greasy or heavy.
Just go to sleep and wake up with beautiful soft hair. The only downside is the bottle is so small!

I have this blush in Montebello
Again the texture of Cargo Blushes are amazing. The SuedeBlushes have a spattering of 3 colors that are supposed to be swirled together. I noticed that the SuedeBlush feels a bit smoother when it goes on but that`s being quite picky, on a day to day basis they are virtually the same application.

My love for Cargo blushes grew after my first purchase of their Beach Blush in Coral Beach.
I now have Amalfi, Mendocino, the Big Easy, Topeka, and Rome.
They are all so pigmented and such a dream to use. You only need a tap and it's enough for a nice flush on the cheeks. They go on smoothly and not patchy, they are also very easy to blend. These hold their own very well against the coveted NARS blushes, dare I say I prefer these better. The sheen in some of the Cargo blushes (eg. not the matte ones) is so beautiful and subdued, not chunky glitter just a nice glow. I find that some NARS blushes have a less refined shimmer which isn't my preference.
The only downside is the tin, I'm not a huge fan as sometimes the cover sticks and it's a tad awkward to use having to hold the lid, blush, and brush to use. While it doesn't bother me when I do my makeup at home they aren't terribly portable for that reason.

Regenerist Eye Regenerating Cream + Touch of Concealer
I really liked that this doubled as a cream as well. The coverage is very light so this isn't for someone that has dark dark circles. I found that it did brighten my undereye area making me look for awake. I want to try the garnier roller ball with... +
I really liked that this doubled as a cream as well. The coverage is very light so this isn't for someone that has dark dark circles. I found that it did brighten my undereye area making me look for awake. I want to try the garnier roller ball with pigment net and see how they compare before I repurchase. -

A great creamy concealer for use on blemishes, wouldn't recommend it for under the eyes as it is quite thick and might crease up. Using this with my fingers is a great way to warm up the product and evenly blend it out to conceal redness and blemishes. My only criticism is that the shade range is very limited. -

I wasn't impressed by this concealer at all, I found that once blended in it didn't cover anything at all. The consistency was nice and it didn't break me out but the coverage was just lacking. I don't get very dark circles but the times when I am lacking sleep I like using concealer as a pick me up, this didn't do anything for me. -
Maybelline New York Mineral Power Concealer

Love this concealer! It's got great coverage but it's liquid so it doesn't feel like you're caking it on and it blends really easily. It comes in a number of shades. I mainly used it on my blemishes as I don't have very dark circles. This is a product I will definitely repurchase. -

A great product for the daytime under makeup.
This is a lightweight fast absorbing moisturizer. It does leave a silicon feel which is why it's great under makeup. It's pretty average in terms of moisturizing the skin and I would bump the quality up a star if it has SPF in it too to make a total package moisturizer.

I had a small sample tube of this.
I did like how it was moisturizing and not that greasy but this made me break out with horrible cystic acne! I was the only thing I changed in my routine because my face was feeling a bit dry so I thought this would perk it up at night. I tried it for like 4-5 days and I noticed I had a number of deep large painful pimples on my cheeks which is unusual for me. I stopped using the moisturizer and they went away.
I did try using this again sometime later thinking perhaps it was a fluke but the result was the same big red painful pimples. I hate to waste product but I tossed my sample.
Something in this moisturizer must not work well with my skin, but if it doesn't break you out from what I felt it was decently moisturizing but kind of expensive for what it was.

This mascara is a good lengthening and defining mascara.
This is a great everyday mascara I didn't find it gave a lot of volume but it really did define and even lengthen my lashes. It holds my curl quite well and didn't smudge that much on my lower lash line. I did like how this mascara was much more pliable so your eyes don't feel crunchy.
A major plus is that this mascara is very easy to layer, I found it didn't clump at all and didn't feel heavy.
I really like this mascara and would repurchase it but there are many other mascaras to try first!
