Mascara -Revlon - Lash Potion by Grow Luscious

Adore this. The very first Revlon mascara I like. GlamLifeGuru referred to this in a recent mascara favs and called it a "fast mascara" and I couldn't agree more. You get luscious volumized lashes nearly instantly. Not sure about the last benefits, because I think that stuff is gimmicky anyhow.

Lipstick -Maybelline - Color Whisper

I adore these. I have several shades and I would say these are the perfect cross between Revlon Lip Butters (too much pigmentation, not enough hydration) and the L'Oreal Colour Riche Balms (not enough pigmentation). They feel like and dreamy, they have a fantastic scent (like Fruity Pebbles) and the shade selection is huge.

BB Cream -Lumene - Vitamin C+ Illuminating Anti-Age BB Cream

Couldn't agree more with most of the reviews on this. It really is fantastic. I was worried about there only being two shades but the Light works great for my NC25 skintone. This has awesome coverage and sets, yet still looks glowy, but not greasy at all. Love it.

I adore this stuff. It is like perfection in a bottle. Perfectly hydrated, strengthened hair that is not weighed down at all. It even smells nourishing. Would definitely repurchase!

Moisturizers -Olay - Total Effects 7-in-1 Mature Skin Therapy

Finally!!! A hydrating enough anti-aging moisturizer from Olay in a pump! I've tried all of their other moisturizers; not hydrating enough for my dry skin. I like their ingredients and Olay is accessible anywhere. I also love the pump because it keeps the ingredients stable so they actually do something when you apply to your skin. Can't rave enough!

The absolute best product I've ever used on my lips, hands down. Flavors are delish. This is sooo hydrating and soothing.

BB Cream -Hard Candy - CC Correction Creme
rated 4 of 5

I like this. I got Light and it's good for my NC30 skin-tone. This also has pretty decent coverage for a BB cream which I like. It doesn't seem to be very hydrating, but is certainly not drying, like a typical makeup. One thing I noticed is that this can get a little bit shiny throughout the day which I don't love. Good SPF though!

BB Cream -Too Faced - Tinted Beauty Balm Multi-Benefit Skin Care Makeup
rated 4 of 5

This is one of my favorite BB creams. It is incredibly hydrating and makes you look glowy and radiant. I love the SPF but wish it provides just a little bit more coverage. Still, the coverage is adequate for a BB cream and can be enhanced with a little bit of concealer. I am NC30 and I bought Cream Glow and it's just a little bit too dark, but not enough to be obvious. Plus, it's easier to get good coverage out of products just a little darker than too light. UPDATE: Upon using this more, I realized that this has more coverage than most BB creams and enough for me not to need a concealer. I can just set it with a powder and go.

BB Cream -Urban Decay - Naked Skin Beauty Balm
rated 3 of 5
dbmiller 5/8/2013 1:33:00 PM

Far too expensive for what this is. This provides the least coverage of all BB creams I've ever tried (all Western brands). It feels incredibly moisturizing though, and I was doubtful but able to make it work with some concealer and powder. I like the SPF and the way it feels so hydrating but dries down and doesn't look greasy. Still, just too expensive. Pass.

Mascara -Cover Girl - Flamed Out
rated 4 of 5
dbmiller 5/3/2013 1:27:00 PM

I've been enjoying this. Provides good volume and doesn't flake or smudge or make my lashes crunchy. Nothing exceptional, but a good mascara. The hour-glass-shaped brush is a little awkward and gimmicky but this is still good.

Lip Gloss -Cover Girl - Lipslicks Smoochies lip balm
rated 4 of 5

Really starting to adore these. I didn't ever care for the original LipSlicks because of the scent/flavor. Very nauseating. But these are awesome. I don't think they're incredibly moisturizing but they feel very smooth and silky. I also really love the colors; all of the ones I got are very flattering. The price is right too. The only thing they are lacking for me is SPF, which I think all lip products should have.

Treatments -Olay - Regenerist Wrinkle Revolution Complex

This seems as if it's going to be incredibly hydrating but just ends up being sticky, tacky and eventually balling up. Gross.

Moisturizers -Olay - Age Defying Mature Skin Day Lotion with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 15
rated 5 of 5
dbmiller 4/10/2013 2:40:00 PM

I love this. I've been trying to find a good moisturizer that provides my very dry skin enough moisture from Olay and this is it. Plus it's a little cheaper than the one I was previously using - Total Effects Moisturizer + Serum Duo, and it isn't as thick.
