I actually meant to pick up a different color but accidently ended up with this. When I first opened it I was horrified by the crazy sparkles and glitter. I couldn't imagine how I'd ever be able to pull it off. But I'm so glad I decided to keep it and try it! The sparkles don't end up on your cheeks the way they look in the pan. It's a pretty bright pink and the "glitter" shows up as a subtle glow. Like all Nars blushes it's SUPER pigmented, and I can't imagine ever running out of it because a little goes such a long way, but I would definitely repurchase. It's blushes like this that help me embrace my paleness. Although I'm sure it would look great on most skin tones.

Lip Gloss -BeneFit Cosmetics - Benetint Lip Balm

I'm not big on lip gloss/colors (with the exception of the occasional nude, I stick to plain chapstick), but this stuff I actually like. It gives a sheer rosy color and a nice shine. I really love this for days at the pool because 1.) it has spf15 and 2.) it gives a nice pop of color to a make up free face. It smells so good but it's not overpowering. The packaging is so cute (like most Benefit products) but, like others have mentioned, jars aren't the most hygienic option. I'm rediscovering this now, and it's a really pretty color for fall, just a little deeper than my natural lip color. I wouldn't repurchase it simply because I think it's overpriced for what it does and I don't like spending a lot of money on lip products. But while I have it I will happily keep using it!

I was so, so impressed with this eyeliner. I had been using the Maybelline Eye Studio Gel liner, which did the job, but dried up quickly and just wasn't all that great. I meant to splurge on the Bobbi Brown liner or Mac Fluidline but I saw this first and I'm so glad I decided to try it. Although I don't have much to compare it to, I can't think of any way it could be better. I use it with a hard angle brush(not the one it comes with) and it glides on,nice and dark with the first application. I'll admit sometimes I have some wild nights where I don't get a chance to take off my make up. And the next morning, when the rest of my make up is smudged and worn off, this eyeliner still looks as good as when I first put it on.
