I have two of these eyeshadow duo's: "Flare" and "Flamboyant" (I believe). Flare is gorgeous. It consists of a shimmery champage beige colour and a beautiful shimmery muted orange colour. This combo, with the champagne colour on my inner lid area and orange towards the outside, looks divine on my brown eyes. The quality is excellent for a drugstore brand since as the name suggests, these eyeshadows are really pigmented. However, they're not as long-lasting as I would like them to be but this can be adjusted with a good eye primer. Flare is a good dupe for a Nars eyeshadow duo named "Mediterannee" (not sure about the spelling). As for the Flamboyant duo, there is a bright shimmery yellow and a matte purple. I love this combo as well and this one also looks stunning on the eyes. The purple is a bit chalky, probably because it's a matte shade, and more time and more effort are required to use this shade. Overall, HIP eyeshadow duo's are a great investmest! -

What can I say about Vaseline? I'm the type of person who loves a multifunctional product because I like to save time and money. Vaseline is truly versatile, can be found easily, is really cheap and works well. Dry skin is Vaseline's target. Anywhere I'm extremely dry, be it on my lips, elbows, knees, feet, toes hands, etc., one use of a small amount of Vaseline will eliminate the dryness. Another way I use Vaseline is as a make-up remover. It works well as one. However, in my life, Vaseline is overshadowed by other products because I do not suffer from extremely dry skin. Vaseline would probably work better than some of the products that I've used, though! So I always have some on hand for an emergency. It never disappoints. -

I use this powder on a daily basis. I don't use foundation because I don't like to stress my skin and get my pores clogged. So I use this after moisturizer and I'm good to go. Studio Fix is a powder so coverage isn't as great as a foundation's. However, for a powder, it provides excellent coverage while allowing my skin to breathe. As for lasting power, Studio Fix is pretty decent. I can go about 4-6 hours without retouching. MAC's shades are also varied and diverse so it was easy to find my perfect shade. I have never broken out or had any adverse reactions to Studio Fix. Also I don't use the sponge/puff that MAC provides in the compact. It is good for the first few uses but I stop using it after about 5 or 6 uses because of possible germ contamination. I use Studio Fix with a powder brush. Overall, it's a staple in my daily morning routine. -

I have LashBlast in both brown black and very black, and love this mascara. When I want foolproof volume and length I reach for my LashBlack mascaras that never disappoint. One coat opens up my eyes, and thickens and lengthens my lashes. When I want added drama, more coats help me achieve the look I'm going for. Minor drawbacks include minimal clumping and difficulty of coating inner lashes. Also, I wouldn't recommend using LashBlast for lower lashes as the brush is too big. -
