Blush -Smashbox - Blush Rush - Flush
Jsconnelly 7/24/2012 1:37:00 PM
I adore this blush ! I love the colour pay off. It is really minimal and feminine. I purchased this blush whilst looking aid town during my dinner break from college. It is a lovely dolly pink and has tiny flicks of pearl/silver glitter. With blushes I fins the usually have gold tones which don't suit my skin as I'm really pain and have cool skin, the silvers in this polish really compliment me and I love the highlight it gives me ! The packaging on this product is second to none ! I love the mirror which is on the bottom as it doesn't get covered in product ! The packaging is small and compact and perfect for on the go. Sometimes I find my self re touching this half way through the day ! Still love it. Defiant re purchase !!!

Concealers -BeneFit Cosmetics - Boi-ing

Perfect concealer ! I have used this concealer for a long time now. It helps camouflage spots and covers moles and freckles with ease. It also conceals dark circles under the eyes and help brighten your under eye area. I have this concealer I shade 01 ! I love it's concealed and find it works wonders ! Definite HG ! Will repurchase. I love the packaging as it s small and compact unlike a lot of concealers I have came across. One thing I hate about the product is the scent ! It stinks. I hate it ! Would defiantly reccomend though !

Blush -MAC - Satin Blush - Fleur Power
Jsconnelly 7/24/2012 1:30:00 PM
This blush is a little too vibrant for me. I really like it though. Really pigmented and ha as nice colour pay off. It can be blended out to a little bit of a lighter shade but tends to stay vibrant ! I ordered this product for the MAC webiste and the swatch looked a lot paler ! I have really pale skin (nc14) and don't find this blush suits my colour tone at all. I would reccomend it to those with a warm and muted skin tone to add a pop of colour. It's an amazing colour and I will be repurchasing (in a slightly different shade). Packaging is terrible. Always breaks.

Hate this product. Made my ski. Really oily and greasy. Didn't make my skin smooth as it claims to. It also didn't fill any fine less as my foundation sunk in to them. I really like the packaging as the disc will help make sure all product is used. Wouldn't reccomend it. It's cheap won't be repurchasing it.

Moisturizers -Elizabeth Arden - Eight Hour Cream - Intensive Daily Moisturizer for Face SPF 15
Jsconnelly 7/24/2012 1:21:00 PM
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this product ! As I have oily skin I find it hard to find daily moisturisers wich don't break me out. This product doesn't and leaves my skin looking healthy and flawless. It has a SPF of 15 which is perfect or me as I live in England and we rarely have huge amounts of sun. I love the smell of this product. It smells really fresh and clean. I apply this every morning before my primer and it helps keep my skin hydrated. I was a bit hesitant about purchasing this as it is quite pricey for such a small tube. Over 4 year I think I have purchased two and one is still going strong ! Will defiantly be repurchasing once it's eventually used up ! I also really like the packaging as it is a tube. I hate pot products with a passion as I feel they are a breeding ground for germs !! Couldn't reccomend this product more. Love love love it ,,,

Foundations -Maybelline - Dream Matte Mousse
Jsconnelly 7/24/2012 1:14:00 PM
I can honestly say I must of bought hundreds of these foundations ! I am usually the shade ivory 010. This is the first foundation I ever used, and continued to do so for at least a year. I love how it leaves my skin looking. I have oily skin and it helps mattify my complexion which helps me look flawless and healthy ! Really cheap and a perfect foundation. It has a medium/full coverage and is really buildable. You down need a lot of this product. Sometimes it dries out real quick, and I don't really like,pot foundations as I think they are just a breeding ground for germs. I would reccomend this product though ! Amazing foundation and really cheap !

Would reccomend and as it says, it is oil free ! Really cheap, comes with a pump just over all amazing.

Primer/ Corrector -L'Oreal - Studio Secrets Anti-Redness Primer
Jsconnelly 7/24/2012 12:58:00 PM
Hate this primer. Leaves skin looking unhealthy and in natural as still leaves the redness behind ! It says it has a green tint, when realist limit is a bright green product and doesn't really do as it says. I don't reccomend this product. It's terrible. The paxkagin is nice and compact though, would be effect for travelling as it is really slimline ( if it actually done its job :@)

Nice light weight foundation. Perfect for those relaxing days when you want to feel fresh and not caked up in make up. I have this foundation in shade 32 pearl and love it. It's effect for me. I have repurchased this a few times as I use it a lot ! Never had any problems. Always left me looking flawless and healthy. Nice lower end foundations nd would defiantly recommend it. I have oily skin and sometimes it can look a little honey, especially in the warmer weather.

Liquid -MAC - Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15
Jsconnelly 7/24/2012 12:52:00 PM
Re purchased this item 3/4 times. Love love love this foundation ! This is my staple winter time foundation as I love the coverage and lightweight feel on my skin. I have this foundation in nc15 and nc20. I don't really have a bad word today about this foundation other that I have the packaging, and that it doesn't come with a pump. Annoying ! Is an amazing foundation for those who have oily skin and like a medium coverage. I have never broke out using this foundation and use my Smashbox primer (purple one) as I do with every foundation and find they work perfectly. Tis foundation stays in place all day and i have never really has any problems with is sliding off my face or disappearing through out the day.

Crème -BeneFit Cosmetics - Some Kind-A Gorgeous
Jsconnelly 7/24/2012 12:40:00 PM
I am not really a huge fan of this product ! I have a few friends who swear by it and find that it is the perfect foundation ! I beg to differ. I found it made my oily parts ridiculously oily and made the bits of dry skin I have really stand out. This product hade my skin break out slightly so I discontinued use of it and it now takes place at the back of my foundation drawer. I don't like that they only carry 3 shades, I got medium as it was purchased in the summer and I had a bit of colour to my skin. I don't think I would reccomend this product to anyone, unless they already had perfect/flawless skin !

Primer/ Corrector -Smashbox - Photo Finish Color Correcting Foundation Primer- Smashing Color Adjust
Jsconnelly 7/24/2012 12:35:00 PM
This is my all time favourite primer ever ! This primer is perfect for most skin types and most foundations ! I love love love it! I think I have bought 3/4 of these primers ad will defiantly be purchasing again once I have used it all up ! I have never had problems with my skin caused by this product. And I find it helps foundations stay in place for a lot longer than they usually would. I find this primer lasts a really long time and a little goes a long way ! The packaging is great as you can control how much of the product you would like and I think this primer should be a staple piece in most girls make up routines ! I know Smashbox can be a little pricey at times but do not let this put you off as it is worth it's weight in gold ! If you are unsure about purchasing this product I am sure the girls at your local Smashbox counter could give you a Sample to try over a few days.

Jsconnelly 7/24/2012 12:29:00 PM
I hate this foundation. The consistency is awful and the shade selection is terrible. It has little if any coverage at all and led try skin looking oily and greasy. I once tried to wear this foundation for college and I could feel it sliding off my face before I had even entered the buildings doors ! This product also smells awfull it actually smells like well emulsion. I also found thanthismproduct sticks t ever fine line in your face and really highlights I perfections. I think I used this 4/5 times and now has room a place at the back of my make up draw ! Will not buy again. Terrible product ! Not for oily skin !

Powder -BeneFit Cosmetics - Hello Flawless!
Jsconnelly 7/24/2012 12:25:00 PM
Hello flawless is easily one of my favourite powders of all time. I have it in the shade 'I love me ivory' And ' me so vain champagne '. This powder is amazing ! I love how well it covers up my imperfections. This product really does make you look flawless ! I first purchased this around a year or two ago and have never really had any problems with it. The packaging is great and compact. It comes with a sponge and small brush which I perfection for application on the go ! I fins this product is well worth it's money and lasts a really long time ! Since the launch of the hello flawless liquid foundation I have been pairing the two together and found they work hand in hand perfectly ! I love the finish of this powder and it tends to stay in place all day long ! The only thing I really don't like is when I have dry patches (which is really rare) the poser tends to stick to them and look ugly. All in all I really love this powder and would reccomend it to almost anyone ! When I first purchased this the girls at the benefit counter where lovely and really helpful ! Don't hessiate of be nervous around the counters as the girls are lovely and far from intimidating ! They give advice and will help find the perfect shade for you. I have never ha a bad experience when purchasing from benefit !
