I have a love/hate relationship with this product. It hydrates and it does give the skin a beautiful luminescence. It looks AWFUL under makeup. It makes my foundation cakey and gives me orange-peel skin. On days that I don't like to wear makeup, I'll wear this as my moisturizer because it looks absolutely beautiful. Under foundation, no way. For anybody purchasing this, buy the travel bottles - they work out to be cheaper per ounce. -

I wanted to love this foundation because I've heard so many good things about it. The shade range is fantastic and the packaging is cute, but it's on the pricier side and product itself isn't so good - definitely not good enough to justify the pricetag. It looked cakey, and highlighted everything I'd rather hide. It really accentuated pores and clung to dry patches. Not cute. -

This is my favorite highlighter of all time. Aside from the cute packaging and clever name, it's a great product. It's a beautiful light champagne-gold colored highlighter that adds the most gorgeous gleam to the face. I use this on my cheekbones and also put a little just above my eyebrows and it looks beautiful - not glittery, but rather a highly-pigmented glow that really packs a punch. Perfect color and texture, easy to apply and blend, and lasts on the skin. Love this! -

I love this stuff, but I don't know if it's worth the money. This does what it claims to do - it illuminates and evens, and I really do think it makes my makeup look better. I use this as a primer for regular foundation, since it does not offer any coverage on its own and looks rather orange. I don't think it makes my makeup last any longer, but I do think it helps the makeup look better as it wears throughout the day. I was able to snag mine during one of Sephora's sales, and I'd probably buy it again since I like it so much, but only on sale - otherwise, while a good product, I don't think this is worth the pricetag. -
bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream
Love this stuff! If you're looking for a lot of coverage, this isn't for you. It has a gel-like consistency and gives light, natural coverage and feels good on the skin, not heavy. This evens my skintone but still looks natural, and it looks amazing... +
Love this stuff! If you're looking for a lot of coverage, this isn't for you. It has a gel-like consistency and gives light, natural coverage and feels good on the skin, not heavy. This evens my skintone but still looks natural, and it looks amazing with some cream blush/bronzer and then powdered lightly. Not very long-wearing, it lasts about 6-8 hours but it wears off beautifully without going patchy or anything. I love this stuff but it isn't for everyone. Definitely worth a try! -
NARS Soft Velvet Loose Powder

This powder is amazing. It's my absolute holy-grail face product and I'll never set my makeup with anything else. The shade range is a little limited, but not bad considering it's a powder (and not a liquid foundation), and the price is a little steep, but if you can find a suitable shade, take the plunge! This adds a little coverage but doesn't disturb the makeup underneath, blurring pores, lines, and other imperfections. It makes your skin look and feel soft and smooth and angelic. It's a phenomenal powder and I highly recommend it! -

This is one of the newer palettes from Too Faced. All of the colors are matte, and the formula is rich, creamy, and blendable - great quality (as always from Too Faced). The shades in this palette are truly beautiful and very unique. The only disappointment is that it repeats 4 shadows from the original Natural Eyes palette (Heaven, Cashmere Bunny, Sexspresso, and Nudie), so if you already have that palette, then you're buying this palette solely for the remaining 5 shades, which might not be worth it. I have both and they are two of my most loved palettes. I highly recommend this palette, but if you already have the original Natural Eyes palette, then the shade overlap in the Natural Matte palette might not be worth it. Good product! -

This is one of my favorite eyeshadow palettes. It's good quality and very versatile. The packaging is sturdy, compact, and cute. The shadows themselves are the typical good quality of Too Faced eyeshadows. The colors are all pretty and unique, as well as pigmented and blendable. The palette categorizes the eyeshadows into 3 different "looks" which basically makes it fool-proof. This palette can easily be used for natural and smokey looks, great for beginners and the ole' pro. The price is a little steep, but worth it in my opinion. Great palette - you have to have it! -
MAC Cosmetics Face and Body Foundation

This is one of my favorite foundations of all time. It's light-weight and comfortable, long-lasting, and the finish is just gorgeous. It's light, skin-like coverage, so if you want something heavier/full-coverage, this is not for you. The shade range (being MAC) is great. You can get this foundation in 2 sizes, with the larger size being the better buy, and totally worth it. This blends, covers, looks and feels like skin. It has a slightly odd, distinct texture and smell, but nothing unbearable. Overall, I love this stuff and totally recommend it for anybody who wants comfortable, natural coverage. -

This is meant to be a highlighter pencil for your eyes and face. I picked this up hoping it would be a cheaper alternative to products like the Chella Highlighter Pencil, Benefit High Brow, and so on. I was disappointed to find out it's nothing like that. This pencil isn't all that cheap itself, and it isn't great quality either. The pencil is too hard and waxy. The color is a very sheer, iridescent pink. It sits a little funny, sort of clumpy, on the skin, and doesn't melt/blend in. Not good and not worth it. -
