Polishes -Essie - A Cut Above
beautyaddict96 7/10/2012 12:58:00 PM
Such a pretty sparkly pink. Lots of people think glitter nailpolish is tacky, but not this one. It's beautiful. Very easy to apply (even though I cannot paint nails) and easy to fix if it chips. The glitter applies very easily as well. However, it is very hard to get off. You definitely have to soak your nails in nail polish remover. Make sure to rub some nail cream in after :)

Lip Treatments -Fresh - Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15
beautyaddict96 7/10/2012 12:54:00 PM
I have this in both the regular and the rose, and I plan on getting all of the other shades. I love this! Yes it is a bit pricey, bu totally worth it in my opinion. I compare it La Mer lip balm which is $45, and this is much better. SO moisturizing and it smells and tastes so yummy. My boyfriend loves it too, he says I taste great when I wear it ;) No chapped lips for me ever :)

Concealers -Bobbi Brown - Creamy Concealer Kit (Reformulated & New packaging 2011)
beautyaddict96 7/10/2012 12:50:00 PM
I was looking for a heavy concealer to use under my eyes to cover up my dark circles. I had read some good reviews so I decided, despite the price, to give it a try. Although it has very good coverage, it does not look natural at all. The shade was a perfect match, but it was obvious that I was wearing concealer. It creased so badly! And even though this is meant to be an "on the go" kit, it has no mirror or applicator. Waste of money. Will not repurchase.

Loose Powders -Bare Escentuals - Mineral Veil
beautyaddict96 7/10/2012 12:46:00 PM
This claims to impart a flawless, airbrushed complexion. I did not get that at all. I have relatively good skin, I just wanted something to blur whatever slight imperfections/flaws my skin had. I saw no difference at all. When trying o layer this, I looked so powdery. Not oil absorbing whatsoever. I've had people comment on how shiny my face looks. Embarrassing! Does not cover pores. Overall, did not achieve what it said it would. Disappointing. Will not repurchase.

Moisturizers -Neutrogena - Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer SPF 30
beautyaddict96 7/10/2012 12:40:00 PM
This really isn't a moisturizer, just a sunscreen. It has a very distinct sunblock smell. It feels very greasy and it leaves my face looking shiny. Not moisturizing, but still too thick to put on my face. Did not do what it claimed to do, and it was terrible even as just a sunscreen. I will not buy this again.

Eyeliner -Clinique - Quickliner for Eyes
beautyaddict96 7/10/2012 11:22:00 AM
I bought this in dark chocolate and it looks beautiful when I line my blue eyes with it. Very intense color. Very easy to use. I can draw a staright brown line or I can use the smudge stick at the other end to create a smoky eye effect. Stays on all day. I get so many complements. I would prefer if I could resharpen it, but I'm fine with the twist applicator. Great price. I'll definitely repurchase this :)

Eyes -Stila - Smudge Crayon Waterproof Eye Color
beautyaddict96 7/10/2012 11:17:00 AM
I did not use this as an eyeliner, because it cant be resharpened. I think the price is reasonable considering it can be used as an eyeliner, primer, and eyeshadow. I bought this in kitten, which is a very pretty shade. I already have an eyeshadow this color though from Bobbi Brown (champagne quartz) that I prefer. It held no use for me, so I won't repurchase it.

Lip Treatments -Fresh - Fresh Brown Sugar Lip Polish
beautyaddict96 7/10/2012 11:13:00 AM
This was a really nice lip scrub. It smelled very good and really exfoliated and conditioned my lips. My only complaint was it was very gritty. Too harsh for delicate lips. I probably won't buy this again because I think that there are better lip scrubs out there. It was also a bit expensive.

Primer/ Corrector -Yves Saint Laurent - Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch)
beautyaddict96 7/10/2012 11:10:00 AM
I was so excited to try this. Even though it was so expensive, I had read a lot of great reviews and decided it was worth a shot. The only reason that this gets 2 stars is because it looks very natural. It really didn't do what it claimed to do. No added radiance, and it definitely didn't conceal anything. I know I have some bad under eye circles, but I would be better off using a tinted moisturizer under my eyes for all this did. No help at all. Way too expensive. TERRIBLE packaging. 1 click wasn't enough and 2 clicks was too much. A lot of wasted product. The brush was useless. I will not be buying this again.

Eye Shadow -Rimmel - Glam Eyes HD Shadows
beautyaddict96 7/10/2012 11:03:00 AM
I bought this in English Rose. This is light, creamy, easily blended. It's wonderful. There are a few major flaws though that contribute to the 3 stars.. The design is so cute, but it's so hard to get to the eyshadows because they are so small. I can't use my LM eyeshadow brush. :( By the end of the day, all of the eyeshadow moves into my crease. Although the colors are nice, there is only one color that I truly love. Then I found a match at Bobbi Brown in their metallic eyeshadow line that is exactly the same, so I won't repurchase this.

Mascara -Maybelline - Great Lash Mascara
beautyaddict96 7/10/2012 10:57:00 AM
Whoa wait. This got a 2.1? That makes absolutely no sense to me at all. This is my HG mascara, and there isn't anything that compares to this. I have tried it all. Everything drugstore, department store, beauty retail store. No matter what the price, nothing comes close to Great Lash. It lengthens, volumizes, curls, and adds definition. It makes my lashes look absolutely stunning, but still natural. It never clumps. NEVER. Makes me look more awake and makes my eyes look a bit bigger. I get so many complements. This is the only mascara out there for me. I LOVE Great Lash. And for $6, everyone should give it a try.
