I bought this product after hearing all the raves from youtubbers and fellow beauty bloggers and was so excited to test it out! After doing so though, i think it was pretty good, but i had expected so much more. The product comes in a little tin which actually holds quite a bit of product, especially when considering the price paid. The product inside is quite oily and although it does moisturize my lips, i found that after a little while, my lips were dry again and i'd have to re-apply. There is also a strong rose scent, (which i didnt mind) but i could see some people hating. I also dont really like the fact that its in a jar, meaning you have to dig in with your fingers which could be quite unsanitary at times. However, on the good side, i did like how the product added a slight tint to my lips which giving it a nice glossy look. I just wished that it would last longer so i wouldnt have to re-apply so often! -

These smudge pots really do what they're suposed to do! I have this in Bronze and it is a gorgeous color! The packaging is ncie and although the price paid is quite high, you actually do get a lot of product which lasts you for quite some time. I have been using this as my eyeliner for a long time and i found that it was super easy to apply with a small angled brush. The product literally lasts all day and even if you do a bit of rubbing, it doesnt move until you take it off with makeup remover. You can also use this product as a base for your eyeshadows to make it stay and last longer. I would recommend however, that you make sure you tighten your jar very tightly after every use as i have heard that it does tend to dry out if you dont. Of course, this goes for all other gel liners, but just thought i'd put it here anyways. Overall, i LOVE this product and would highly recommend it! -

I purchased Coastal Scents 88 Metal Mania and if you're into shimmery, more neutral colors, this palette seriously has everything you need! For a cheap price, you can get 88 colors ranging from light colors used to highlight, to darker colors used to contour. There are also many corals, pinks and purples included for you to spice up your look! I found that the eyeshadows were very soft and well pigmented (with the exception of a few of the lighter shades, which turned out to be slightly chalky).
The packaging is beautifu (it comes with a mirror and 2 applicators). The only problem i had with the packaging was the fact that they did squish in a few of the eyeshadows near the bottom center to make room for the closing latch. But other than that, i was very happy with my purchased and would highly recommend this product to anyone interested!
(note - i did end up swatching the full palette, i included a pic in this review but for full swatches, you can visit my blog! )

I am in LOVE with these lipsticks! I first tried them out when i ordered them from cherryculture.com and they really impresed me! First off, there are SO many different shades and finishes to choose from, it is almost overwelming. When i tested these lipsticks out for myself, i found that they were very creamy and moisturizing (meaning super easy to apply and didnt dry out my already dry lips), very pigmented (gorgeous colors) and they also had a nice floraly scent to it. I also fell in love with the cute packaging and of course, the amazing price! I highly recommend these for anyone who has yet to test them out! You wont be disappointed :) -

I recently purchased ELF's studio blushes in Fuschia Fusion and Candid Coral (refer to pictures) and i absolutely love them! They have amazing pigmentation and the colors are just so pretty! You can see for yourself :) Fuschia Fusion does have more shimmer than Candid Coral, but both are appropriate for wearing everday.
I am really enjoying ELF's stuido blushes in that the packaging is really good (sleek black packaging with a mirror & a hole to see which color is which without opening the lid), the quality is amazing (soft, pigmented colors) and the wear time is quite good as well! Of course, with a product like this, you'd expect it to be priced quite high, but at $3.00 each, you can buy them all without worrying about breaking your wallet and end up with some really good quality blushes in your collection! Overall, i highly recommend these and im thinking of picking up more colors for myself :D
