Easy to put on, easy to remove, and doesn't smudge. This is a pretty great tubing mascara for natural looking lashes. It won't lengthen much or give a lot of volume, but it never clumps and it's great if you want an everyday mascara that won't make you worry about flaking or smudging throughout the day. For removal, all you need is warm water and the mascara will come off in pieces instead of leaving wet smudges of black paint on your eye area. -

This is my favorite eyeshadow palette of all time and my daily driver. The color scheme is the best I've ever seen in a palette and it has the most mattes out of any Anastasia palette. I use this every single day for both simple neutral eyeshadow for class and grungy, dark looks when I feel like doing something more artistic.
The pigmentation of the mattes is phenomenal. For going out to class, asides from transition shades and maybe a pale shimmer I use very, very dark colors close to my lashline to sharpen my eye shape. This is the only palette I have with dark, dark shades that don't need to be painstakingly built up to the intensity I like. This also makes it work perfectly for bold, grungy eyeshadow styles. The drawback to this formula is that it can be more difficult to blend than stiffer formulas. With my Wet n Wild palettes, I can just throw on any of the shades, no matter how intense, and smudge them around a bit and they'll have disappeared enough at the edges to look blended. With Subculture, you have to be careful about your shadow placement and blend well, but not too much. The tones of the eyeshadows in Subculture are stark and completely mixing two tones on opposite sides of the color wheel will make them turn a muddy gray/brown, so knowing which colors not to over blend is key.
That being said, if you're comfortable with bolder colors and can work with a more difficult formula, you'll find that it'll pay off well. Use with a light hand and Subculture is a perfect and cohesive palette for both neutral day looks and bold, artistic eyeshadow.

A great clean and fresh fragrance. It has strong citrus notes and decent sillage. However, as much as I love Light Blue on other people, I've found that it 100% turns powdery on me. I purchased it looking to find a fresh, clean fragrance and unfortunately it smells a little too old lady-like on me. If your skin doesn't tend to skew fragrances in a powdery direction, I'd highly recommend. -

By far my favorite luxury fragrance. Gucci Bamboo is a fresh, clean floral with a drydown that's creamy and woody. This is the fragrance I wear practically daily and I find that it has great sillage and longevity, lasting through a day out. I will repurchase this forever. -

This is floral and spicy and slightly peachy. A pleasant, but generic fragrance that can turn powdery on certain people (as it did on me). It has good lasting power and sillage though. Just a couple of sprays will linger on your skin for around 4 hours and the bottom notes will stick around even longer. All around a decent fragrance. -
