The colour I have is Coral Reef, which is a bright orange.
When you apply it, it definitely mutes down to a light reddy-orange,
I think this is a great colour for spring, as it adds a different pop of colour versus your pinks.
I would consider this a high quality blush that has great pigmentation.
I haven't really figured out the best way to apply this, as I think it's a bit too thick with a brush.
My fingers have been working quite well for blending.
I like using this once in awhile to add a stronger punch than a powder blush, and I think it's a great look for spring.

Currently, I've been using my NARS blush a lot lately.
My most favourite thing is how pigminted the colour is , leaving a soft glow.
The colour I have is Super Orgasm, which is a sparkly twin of Orgasm.
It looks super intimidating from the packaging because it's very very sparkly. I find that after I tap my brush, the sparkles are reduced significantly.
I would definitely recommend this product if you're looking for a high end blush.

I redeemed my Sephora beauty bank points for a trial size of this.
Let me just say that the packaging is great. The full size comes with genuine leather on the casing, which is very interesting. The trial size didn't come with this, but they way they packaged it was so nice! It came in a little sliding box with tissue paper with 'le rouge' on it. I guess I'm just not used to buying high end. :p
The colour pay off for this lipstick is amazing. You can use a very light hand and get a very opaque colour. This lipstick is semi-matte, rolling off of the matte lip trend. I love the look it gives, but I find that it is a bit drying. Putting a balm underneath helps, but for all-day-wear, you'd probably need to put a gloss on top.
The colour I have is 103 Brun Creatéur - dusty rose. It's a gorgeous colour that is perfect for spring. Not too bight, but it definitely adds a pop to your lips!

I love these whitestrips. I've been using them once a year for 2 years now and I love the results.
They are easy to use and not messy at all. Some of the earlier white strips I found were very mess and hard to apply. These are like stickers that you just apply to your teeth.
They give a very noticeable difference too. Compared to other whitening treatments, this is very affordable, and you only need to do it once a year.
I've gotten so many complements on my teeth which is great! I will continue to repurchase these!

Everything about Maybelline's Baby Lips is fantastic!
I'm a huge lip balm person and i've been looking for a super moisturizing one. Before Baby Lips, I was using the Sugar lip balm from Sephora. I would say that this product is a very good dupe for the Sugar balm.
Baby Lips smooths on effortlessly leaving a light scent which I like. The formula is moisturizing and lasts for a decent amount of time. I really like wearing this under lip sticks or lip stains to add a bit more moisture.
For the price, this is a real steal. Great for the summer, as it has SPF which is so important for your lips.
Try this product out, you will not be disappointed.

Before this product I was using a Clinique eye make up remover which was a tad pricey.
Once I ran out I decided to try this product from Target.
I am quite happy with this product. Within two swipes it gets rid of my eye makeup.
I did notice that if I was wearing waterproof liquid liner, it would be a bit stubborn to get off.
I feel that for the price, this was definitely worth it though, and I would repurchase.

I've been downing this as a snack!
They are so good! Very similar to Pop Chips. I would say that these are a great alternative to potato chips.
I find that even though they have a recommended serving of 20 chips (which seems like a lot), I get totally out of control with this.
Delicious!

This is one of the first high end concealers I have tried and I definitely think it's worth the money.
One thing I noticed when I first used it was that it is very watery. You have to shake it a bit before you use it so it doesn't come out in a stream!
This concealer was definitely fool proof. I could apply it with a brush or my fingers and I always found I could use less than a pea sized amount. Something I did notice is that if I used too much for under my eyes, it would settle into lines. This can be fixed though by just only using a small amount.
I have oily to combination skin, and I felt that the consistency of the product didn't make me look too slick.
If you're looking for a higher end concealer, give smashbox a try!

I received this in addition to a Glitz and Glam kit that I stood in line forever during Sephora's boxing day sale. :p
So for me personally, price was not a big deal, as the whole kit only cost $12.
Would I purchase this at full price? Possibly.
I really enjoy this lipgloss. I find the twist up applicators sort of finicky when you first use them, but after a few uses, it turns out okay.
I like that the tip has the synthetic bristles as an applicator. I find it spreads out more evenly with this. The lipgloss is a bit sticky, which I don’t really like, but the colour pay off is good, and I like how it feels on my lips!
