Eye Shadow -Physicians Formula - Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow and Liner- Nude palette

These are nice! I didn't like the green eye shimmer strips but these seem to be much more velvety and pigmented. They seem to last all day too. I like it! I just worry about the packaging cause it's magnetic

Eye Shadow -Revlon - ColorStay 16 Hour Eye Shadow
sam23 7/12/2012 6:35:00 PM
I'm glad I got this in a swap because I'm not sure if I'd actually shell out $6 for one of these. The colors are nice and blendable and they last all day but fall out was terrible! I had to redo my concealer.

Eye Shadow -NYX - charcoal brown 36A
sam23 7/4/2012 4:54:00 PM
This is a perfect brow filling color for me! I haven't used it as a shadow and I don't really like the color for that purpose, but it's magnificent on my eyebrows. I like that it's a little less pigmented when you put it on because of what I'm using it for. I will definitely keep buying this eyeshadow for brow filling, perfect price, size, and color.

Eye Shadow -Physicians Formula - Shimmer strips for green eyes
sam23 7/4/2012 4:43:00 PM
My reaction to this is very meh. At first, I bought it on my school campus (and I don't live there) so my first test of this was basically sticking my fingers in the colors in the womens bathroom before I went to class. It was $7 off all the phys formula stuff at that CVS and I wouldn't get it unless they were doing that deal at your CVS because it's most definitely not worth $10. I like the colors, I like how they coordinate, yesterday I did the darker green, with the darkest liner color in my crease and the skin type color above the green as my highlight and today I'm using the purples. the main problem is that the colors are so skinny! I can hardly get my brushes in them, especially my crease brush! I stick my brush in there and it comes back with three different colors. also, as others have said they are rather chalky and not terribly pigmented. I wouldn't repurchase when it runs out.

Liquid -Revlon - Age Defying Makeup with Botafirm SPF 20 for Normal/Combination Skin
sam23 7/1/2012 2:38:00 PM
I've been searching and searching for something with just a little coverage and an SPF and was hoping to find a tinted moisturizer, but I picked this up at target since it was spf 20 and it's been very nice! applies smoothly, it's a decent color match in the sun but looks perfect outdoors, I don't think it's breaking me out or anything. I still notice it looks just a smidge orange in the sun, but I'm remedying this by putting some on my neck. I think it looks very natural too. If I run out during the summer I'll repurchase otherwise I want to try the new creme stuff!

Blush -Milani - Baked Blush in Luminoso
sam23 6/28/2012 9:55:00 PM
as everyone else has said, packaging stinks but otherwise I LOVE this stuff! it's gorgeous and SO pigmented, with or without any kind of base. It's gorgeous, I've never seen a blush so pigmented. I've never used Nars or other high end bushes, but this is what I imagine they would be like. :)

sam23 6/28/2012 4:29:00 PM
I thought this was aweful when I first got it. And I thought it was good until this morning, I applied it and my skin just looked kind of weird. I got outside and my face was orange. great. and I didn't have time to get it off before I went to work. and my neck was like five shades paler and less orange. uuurg. returning! hard to blend, seems to oxydize the second it hits your skin, weird smell.

Styling Products -TRESemme - TRESemmé's Fresh Start Refreshing Mist
sam23 6/22/2012 10:48:00 PM
this stuff smells luscious! I love the scent, it's very citrusy and it definitely has lasting power, I can usually smell it washing out as I shower after a day of wearing it. I'm not sure if it makes my hair shiny or clean looking, but it sure makes my hair smell good.

Styling Products -TRESemme - Fresh Start Dry Shampoo for Oily/Straight to Normal Hair
sam23 6/22/2012 10:46:00 PM
when I first tried this, I sprayed it on my hair and combing it to invisibility was.. virtually impossible. not only that but it didn't really help all that noticably or maybe it was hard to tell because my hair was white and cakey? idk. but I wouldn't buy this again for those reasons, along with the fact that after.... maybe 3-4 attempts at use, it stopped coming out of the bottle. I think there is something clogged but I've never been able to figure it out. so this was a no-go.

Tinted Moisturizer -Wet 'n' Wild - Ultimate Sheer Tinted Moisturizer - Natural
sam23 6/21/2012 2:36:00 PM
I bought one yesterday and I like how it goes on, I like the finish and everything. But I bought it at a really small CVS on my college campus and they only had two colors, which didn't include the lightest one. I have skin like a redhead, super pale with warm undertones so unfortunately it's way too dark for me :( good think it was only $4 maybe I'll sell it to my mom lol I think I will go somewhere else and get the lightest one though because it's the perfect product for me if it would only match my skin!

Tinted Moisturizer -TheBalm - BalmShelter Tinted Moisturizer
sam23 6/12/2012 10:56:00 PM
too bad this seems to be discontinued :( it's on amazon though! It's very nice, the tint is just sheer enough that even though the light is too dark for me, after I blend it in it doesn't make a difference. It evens out my skin a little, not too greasy. I like it a lot, it's the perfect start to my make up routine and it looks brilliant with my mac mineralize skin finish natural over top. I also like that it's spf 18, and it moisturizes so I don't feel bad if I don't wash all my makeup off at night.

Mascara -Physicians Formula - Organic Wear Jumbo Lash Mascara
sam23 6/12/2012 10:50:00 PM
this stuff is magnificent! works like a dream, two coats is like falsies for me and I don't have that great of eyelashes naturally. it's black, it lengthens, it doesn't thicken my lashes too much but it doesn't give you spider leg lashes, it keeps 'em nice and seperate. The only thing I dislike about it is you need to let it dry between coats and it takes a little while, mine is actually kind of goopy and definitely not at all dry. It's not at all waterproof, but it's moist enough to go on smooth and it definitely doesn't cause brittle eyelashes. I love that it feels so natural, it when I touch my lashes they don't feel all crunchy or gritty, it feels like my regular lashes. I also have noticed my lashes have gotten thicker and grown a bit on their own since I started using this. I had a little bald spot on my right lid that seemed to be there forever and now it's gone.

Lips -Revlon - Colorburst Lip Butter in Lollipop
sam23 6/4/2012 10:54:00 AM
I would buy a Revlon lip butter again because they're delightful. just not this color. As everyone else has said, it's a lot more pigmented that I expected from a lip butter and I don't think this color will work on anyone except blonds with neutral undertones. It UBER clashes with me. my orangy brown red (auburn) hair and warm pink undertones just look sooo wrong with this. I think if I just applied a little and thinned it out with a lip brush, I could maybe pull this off during the summer. but yeah... this was a bit of a fail.
