e.l.f. Cosmetics Baked Blush
I have the colour Peachy Cheeky. I love this in the summertime! I've actually never worn it in the wintertime. It's very similar to Milani in Luminoso (especially in look and finish) but I like it better as Milaini's Luminoso is much more orange... +
I have the colour Peachy Cheeky. I love this in the summertime! I've actually never worn it in the wintertime. It's very similar to Milani in Luminoso (especially in look and finish) but I like it better as Milaini's Luminoso is much more orange. It's great as a blush/highlight for lighter skin tones or as a blush topper for most skin tones. Amazing price too! -
IT Cosmetics Waterproof Anti-Aging Matte Bronzer, Brightening blush Tint & radiance Illuminator
What a great product. I have the Vitality Disk. I think they now make the same product in rectangular packaging which would be better as it would be less bulky. You get a ton of product in this palette. The bronzer is matte and blends beautifully... +
What a great product. I have the Vitality Disk. I think they now make the same product in rectangular packaging which would be better as it would be less bulky.
You get a ton of product in this palette. The bronzer is matte and blends beautifully. It's pigmented but not too pigmented. The blush is a gorgeous (nars orgasmish) pinky peach with a glow that would suit most skin tones. The highlight is nice too. It's subtle and doesn't have any chunky glitter!
I love the convenience of having the 3 products in one compact.
The only reason I wouldn't purchase again (at the moment) is because I have so many other products waiting for me once I finish this.

essence quattro eyeshadow
I have this in the colour Over The Taupe. I find these shadows very creamy and with good pigmentation. The colours in this palette are great everyday neutrals. It's hard to believe that these are so inexpensive as the quality is excellent!

This is one of my favourite nude lipsticks ever! It is the perfect pinky/nude/mauve! It goes with every makeup look and is great for everyday or even special occasions. It really compliments my light-medium skin tone. I feel it would look good on many skin tones. It's really a special colour and I although I have many pinky/nude lipsticks, this one is different from the rest. It's also very creamy and lasts for a decent amount of time. I will always have this colour in my collection! -
Sonia kashuk eye shadow palette in eye on neutral
This is a great matte eye shadow palette from the drugstore. Although some of the colours are very similar in the palette, it has all the colours I need. from warm browns to cool one's and some darker one's I use as liners.

Oh, how I love this shadow! I will always repurchase this one. I have green eyes and it's the perfect shade for me! It's my go to for a quick everyday look. You can just slap it on your lid pop on some mascara and end up with a gorgeous look! Mine dried out and I added Glycerin and mixed it up and it's better than new. Great for everyday or a quick and pretty eye look! This is a product I will not be without! -
COVERGIRL LashBlast Clump Crusher Mascara
This is a great mascara. I get tons of length and volume! I love big bushy lashes. lol. It's easy to take off too using any makeup remover, and I don't lose lashes in the process.

I was really excited to have a manicure last 7 days. I also liked that this product is free of some nasty chemicals and fast drying. I got the colour Mint Convertible. It looked a lot more beautiful on the nails than it did in the bottle.
I found the nail polish very thick, so it was difficult to apply thin coats per the instructions. I followed the instructions and did my best to apply 2 thin coats to my nails and then applied the top coat.
I found it applied very streaky with 2 thin coats. So, on my other hand I applied 3 coats so it was thicker and wasn't streaky looking. The product did dry very quickly.
The hand with 3 coats looked like a beautiful manicure. The hand with the 2 coats was too sheer and streaky. But, the hand with only 2 coats lasted much longer than the hand with 3 coats. I had chipping of the polish within 2 days on the hand with 3 coats, and chipping on hand with 2 coats within 3 days.
At the end of the 7 days the hand with the 2 coats of polish faired much better than the hand with 3 coats of polish in terms of not chipping. The trade off was that the manicure with 2 thin coats looks streaky although it lasted longer.
Perhaps I got a bad batch since it was so thick. Or maybe it takes some practice to get it right.
In the picture that I have shared the top left pic is fresh after the manicure. The bottom left picture is the hand with 2 coats of polish on day 7. The picture on the right is the hand with 3 coats of polish on day 7.
Unfortunately, based on my experience I would not purchase this product.
I received the product free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club, all opinions are my own.
