Eyeliner -Urban Decay - HEavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner in Groupie

If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have purchased this. The NYX glitter liner is so much better! This one is okay if you want very little glitter. But if you want a nice, thin, glittery line, go with the NYX one. This shade is pretty but the glitter is too big and sparse for me.

Eyeliner -NYX - Candy Glitter Liner - All

I thought the UD glitter liner was great until I tried these. They are so much better for the price! The glitter is finer and there is more of it. I applied them side-by-side on my hand - the UD one had glitter flake off when I rubbed it but the NYX one didn't budge. This one is way more noticeable one on the eyes than UD. It's visible in one swipe! If you are looking for a nice glitter liner, save your money and buy this one!

Eyes -NYX - Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencils- All
Bucephala 2/11/2012 12:57:00 PM
I don't quite understand the rave reviews about these pencils. They crease like crazy unless you use a good primer. And on top of the primer they start to feel cakey. I like to use Milk as an inner corner highlight. Strawberry Milk and Baby Blue are pretty but I don't use them a lot because of the creasing and cakey issues. I might try others (Cottage Cheese maybe) but I won't get too many unless I find a better way to work with them.

These don't quite work for me as a base unless I use UDPP underneath. Without a primer, they crease like crazy. But this one is very useful as an inner corner highlight so I'll give it an extra lippy. It is very pigmented so you don't need to use a lot of product.

Lipstick -NYX - Jumbo Lip Pencil - 726 Ice
Bucephala 2/11/2012 12:39:00 PM
I really like the jumbo lips pencils, I just don't know why I bought this shade. It's a light, frosty purple. I use it as a base for some of my darker lippies but it doesn't quite work on its own.

It goes on easily but it's kind of sticky. It's very difficult to sharpen. I prefer the NYX jumbo lip pencils.

With lip liners like this on the market, I'll never spend money on high end liners. This one goes great with my pink lipsticks like Viva Glam Gaga I.

Concealers -Maybelline - Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles
Bucephala 2/11/2012 12:15:00 PM
It does what it promises - conceals under the eyes. I might buy the one for brightening for days when I look particularly tired. I just don't like the packaging that much. The pink part that you twist cracked on me and I don't know how. I wasn't rough with it. I can still get product out but sometimes the pink section slides up the tube and when I push it back down, excess product comes out. I still think the product is great, though, and will buy it again. I hope that I can find a concealer for blemishes that I like as much!

Pressed Powders -Maybelline - Dream Matte Pressed Powder
Bucephala 2/11/2012 12:09:00 PM
Love! I have combination skin and need to tame my t-zone throughout the day. I carry this in my purse to do touch-ups and it works beautifully. It delivers what it promises though - it's very matte. So if you don't want to look too matte then don't use this powder. For us slightly oily girls, it's fabulous!

Loose Powders -New York Color - loose translucent powder
Bucephala 2/11/2012 12:06:00 PM
This is a great drugstore powder. I use it to set my foundation and it doesn't look cakey. I just hate the packaging. No matter how careful I am, the powder goes everywhere. I won't repurchase it because there are less messy powders that are just as nice or nicer on my skin. It's a great, affordable product for a teen though!

This works okay for the red areas of my face (chin, under my nose) but it's not great. I never use the green side because it doesn't do anything except male me look like Kermit the Frog no matter how lightly I apply it. I'm still on the hunt for my grail concealer.
