Eyeliner -Maybelline - master drama eyeliner
beautifuldreamer324 1/29/2012 3:51:00 PM
love how black this comes on. this didn't retract as easily as other liners, which is a downside. it does glide on like a dream, but i had problems with it smudging on my lower lashline. i wish it stayed put on the bottom. had no problems with this smudging on top. it's good, but i know there are better liners out there. covergirl's liquiline blast actually stays put on the top & bottom. i'll use it up, but i wouldn't buy again

Eyeliner -E.L.F. - Cream Eyeliner - All Colors
beautifuldreamer324 1/15/2012 11:44:00 PM
Cheap yet fantastic! I haven't tried a cream/gel liner before, and I've been wanting to try MAC's Fluidline. I just didn't want to splurge. Saw these at Target for $3! I picked up the purple shade. Such a steal. It comes with a brush which is great. I was amazed on how easy this is to apply & get a nice precise line. I will be getting this in black next time I'm at Target. For 3 bucks a pop you can't beat it.

Liquid -Revlon - PhotoReady Airbrush Mousse Makeup
beautifuldreamer324 1/15/2012 3:46:00 PM
3/7/12: This is HD status for me! Now that I have the correct shade (rich ginger), I absolutely love this. Usually, I can't wear a foundation everyday without it either irritating my skin or me not being satisfied with the results or wear of it. This one, I've been wearing basically everyday since I picked this shade up in the middle of Jan. (certain days I switch up to the MAC Match Master when I want full coverage). I'm on my second bottle of this & I've NEVER finish a foundation in my life until this one. I don't find the shimmers as noticeable in the darker shade that I purchased, unless the sun is right on me & I don't mind it. I guess I'm in the minority here, but I really love this foundation & will continue to use it. update: 6/10/12: just purchased my 3rd bottle of this last night, which means I must really love it because this is the ONLY foundation that I've actually had to restock. I haven't used my other foundations enough to need to repurchase. Still loving this! update: 1/31/13- my favorite foundation. i find myself always going back to this, even when i give new foundations a try. i get compliments on how nice and radiant my skin is whenever i wear this. i really like how well this blends out & this is buildable. doesn't look cakey at all and gives a nice radiant glow to the skin. i like to dust some MAC Studio Careblend pressed powder over top of this to set it. my go to foundation for work.

Foundations -Maybelline - Dream Nude Airfoam Foundation
beautifuldreamer324 1/7/2012 2:19:00 PM
First impressions: Just picked this up at Walmart. Was debating between this & the Revlon one. However, I heard the Revlon Photoready AIrbrush mousse foundation is extremely glittery, which turned me away. Also, the shades at my particular Walmart only went up to the Golden Beige, which looks on the yellow side. I may end up trying the Revlon one once my Rite Aid gets this in so I can try various shades & return if they don't work. This was only about 2 dollars less than the Revlon. This coverage of this is pretty good in my opinion. It feels weightless. I honestly don't like a lot of coverage. This gives decent coverage to those who want it, but I wouldn't recommend for those who want full coverage. I'm not blown away with this like I was with my Covergirl & Olay Tone Rehab, which works a bit better on my dry skin. I actually had to do a lot of blending with this, whereas the Tone Rehab blends outs like a dream. This also clings to dry patches, and my skin is dry right now. I would recommend this for normal to oily skin. It's a matte finish. Affordable and a unique formula, which is pretty cool. Hygienic bottle. I will have do wear it for a few days to do a full review. I don't see this as being a go to foundation for me because my skin is dry. Also, The shade that I got 310 Honey Beige (couldn't decide on a shade. the one below this (Sun Biege) looked yellow toned & i'm beige toned). This is definitely darker than the rest of my face, so I really have to be sure to blend this out, and it's a bit on the orange side. I think I should have tried a different shade. This matches my neck pretty well (which is darker than my face anyways). My skin is sensitive so we'll see how this works out. I can see people with combo skin loving this. Update 1/15/12- I just tried the Revlon Photoready Airbrush foam makeup & I can already tell I like this one better. The Revlon is Glitter Ball central & the coverage is very sheer. The Maybelline is buildable & I feel it covers well. The Revlon I need atleast 2 layers to get the coverage that I can get with just 1 pump of the Maybelline. Update 3/10/12- love the lightweight feel & how natural this looks.

Foundations -Cover Girl - Covergirl and Olay Tone Rehab 2 in 1 Foundation
beautifuldreamer324 12/31/2011 11:18:00 PM
I've been wearing this for a little over a week, and so far, I've been loving this. I'm somewhat of a foundation snob. I usually go "high-end" when it comes to foundations, just because I've had trouble finding a decent color match in the drugstore or a formula that I really like. I really love Covergirl's eye products, but I haven't had much luck with their foundations in the past. However, I've been so impressed with Covergirl's new eye products lately, that I just HAD to pick this up when I saw it at Target (it's still not at my Rite Aid yet). I took a chance and picked up shade 160 Classic Tan. (swatched in on the back of my wrist in Target lol). It's a tad bit darker than the rest of my face, but it matches my neck to a T! This blends like a DREAM. No caking what so ever. Does not cling to dry patches or get splotchy. I don't noticed orange splotches or foundation lines like I often do in the middle of the day with some of my MAC foundations. This blends so well and looks so natural...like real skin only better. This doesn't look fake or "makeupy" at all. This actually has replaced by MUFE Face & Body as my "GO TO" foundation. This gives a nice glow to my skin and has decent buildable coverage. (I don't really like full coverage. This is light to medium and perfect for me. This lasts all day for me too, which is a huge place. Covergirl has really impressed me, and this is much more affordable than my MUFE foundation. This is pricy for Covergirl, but the Covergirl & Olay products are pricier than the regular ones. It's worth it. I prob. could have gotten away with shade 155, but so far, the 160 looks great and very natural. 5/5 A+. Highly recommend this for normal to dry skin & mature skin. Such a smooth application. Keep up the good work Covergirl. Great pump too edit 1/16/11- so far this is my HG foundation right now. it's my go to foundation. gives my skin such a radiant glow to it & it covers really well without feeling or looking heavy. looks really natural. this is a pleasant surprise because i'm not usually a fan of covergirl foundations and i usually go for higher end brands. MUFE Face & Body was my HG for a while. this is affordable, especially with this economy, and the quality is really nice. i'd suggest trying this out,especially if you have dry skin. edit:10/23/12- my favorite foundation. my go-to everyday foundation. love this stuff

sprayed this on at Target today and honestly, it's a nice scent. However, it smells to me like something an older woman would wear. I'm 23 and it smells too old for me. I like the smell but I prefer to wear something more youthful like the VS Sexy Little Things Noir Tease

Lip Treatments -Maybelline - Baby Lips lip balm
beautifuldreamer324 12/17/2011 10:32:00 AM
Affordable. This was a little over $3 at Rite Aid & I got 20% using my Wellness Card. (I saw this for under $3 at Walmart). The peach had been sold out at Walmart, but I got my hands on it last night at RiteAid. It's so moisturizing and feels glossy but not sticky. My lips feel baby soft. I'm impressed. The peach kiss isn't very pigmented. I'm not sure about the other colors.

Mascara -Cover Girl - Lash Blast 24 HR Mascara
beautifuldreamer324 12/16/2011 10:55:00 PM
best mascara i've tried hands down! & i've tried TONS, including the original Lash Blast, Lash Blast Fusion, several Maybelline Mascaras, Avon Mascaras, Urban Decay, L'Oreal, Clinique & DiorShow. This trumps thee Lash Blast in the yellow & orange tubes & the Lash Blast Fusion! L'Oreal Voluminous False Lashes was my favorite until I tried this on impulse. It was on an end display at Walmart, along with the LineBlast 24HR (which I'm in LOVE with). This doesn't clump at all & it adds volume & lengthens like crazy! I used this today with the Tarte MultiplEyes primer & my lashes look false (which is the look I was going for). I got this at Walmart for $7.49. I like the wet formula. It's easier to add coats without clumping. Highly recommend. You won't regret this.

Clothes -Victoria's Secret - Dream Angels Demi Bra
beautifuldreamer324 12/6/2011 11:14:00 PM
I have two of these one in yellow lace and one in a blue and purple floral print (non-lace). My favorite bra so far. I like these much better than the Biofit Pushups. I wear a 34DD in these, but in my bras from Target and Bali brands I wear 36D. I would love to buy more of these, but they are so expensive I always wait for the semi-annual sales.

Fragrances -Victoria's Secret - Sexy Little Things Noir Tease
beautifuldreamer324 12/6/2011 8:45:00 PM
I LOVE this!!! This is my new favorite fragrance. I had a $10 off coupon at VS, and I noticed this by the register in a smaller size body mist for $15.00. I had to have it. I think it smells better than the regular SLT Noir. I tried Viva La Juicy years ago, but I don't remember caring for it. My aunt has it. I heard this smells similar. I love this. It's a warm scent. Not overly fruity or floral like some scents. I can definitely smell the vanilla in it. Bought this one a whim and I'm glad I did! I would love to purchase the EDP. I love the old fashioned bottle.

Mascara -L'Oreal - Voluminous False Fiber Lashes
beautifuldreamer324 11/30/2011 10:18:00 PM
not bad..not bad at all. i like a more wet mascara though (one of my favorites is the maybelline original great lash) and i usually go for waterproof but this caught my eye. my current mascara love is the clinique high impact mascara, but i wanted to see if i could find a drugstore version that i liked just as well. i can't say i like this better, because the clinique lengths my bottom and top lashes like no other...not smudging or anything no clumps. this stuff is decent, but the formula is kind of dry and it's not waterproof, but it lengthens pretty well. definitely doesn't give the "falsie" effect, but neither did the maybelline falsies. i'm curious to try the MAC False Lashes Extreme Black, but this is nice for a drugstore mascara. L'oreal is quite pricey and one of the more expensive drugstore brands, but this was 7 dollars and some change at walmart, which isn't too bad.

Cleansers -MAC - Cleanse Off Oil
beautifuldreamer324 11/27/2011 11:21:00 PM
My skin has improved since I started using this before cleansing my face. Before I used this, my face wasn't getting completely clean with just my cleanser. My makeup wasn't getting all the way removed. I purchased this back in March, after reviewing good reviews. I have about 1/4 of product left. This lasts a long time. A little goes along way. It's pricy,but since a little goes such a long way, you'll have this for a while. It's worth it. I apply this and let the makeup come to the surface, then tissue off. After that, I cleanse my face with my daily cleanser. I don't recommend this for removing eye makeup though. It leaves your eyes blurry for a little while if you use it on your eyes. You need a different remover for your eyes. Highly recommend though as a step before your cleanser. Your face will be A LOT cleaner.

Blush -MAC - Blushcreme - Fancy Ray
beautifuldreamer324 11/25/2011 9:54:00 AM
This is discontinued but i got my hands on it in a swap on here, and I'm glad I did. This is the perfect naturally looking color and gives a natural flush on my cheeks. I apply it with the Sonia Kashuk flat top brush, and that gives the perfect application. This is more neutral toned than Lilicent, which I also own

Moisturizers -BeneFit Cosmetics - b right triple performing facial emulsion
beautifuldreamer324 11/25/2011 2:17:00 AM
I got the small size of this in a set with the exfoliator and a mini moisturizer. This is amazing. I like it better than Benefit's other moisturizer. This is lighter weight and oil free. My skin is sensitive and this didn't irritate it like the oil of olay did. I only have a drop of this stuff left, so I need to purchase the full size. My only gripe is the price.
