Powder -Physicians Formula - Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Loose Powder
rated 2 of 5

I like that it is talc-free and does not break me out. The coverage is medium. It goes on as full coverage, but in my opinion, it is not very compatible with oily skin. It wears off throughout the day. Also, the lightest shade is too dark for me :(

Styling Products -Unlisted Brand - So Gorgeous Volumizing Hair Spray
rated 5 of 5
Akaia 4/24/2013 1:24:00 AM

I love this product. This is the first shaping spray I have ever bought and I will not go back to hair spray! I can run my fingers through my hair and it does not feel crunchy. It also does give volume and reminds me of Oscar Blondi volumizing spray because of the smell. They both smell like citronella. However, when sprayed into hair, the smell dissipates and actually smells nice in my opinion. I would recommend for anyone to look past the citronella smell and at least try this product because it really is a great holding spray.

Eye Shadow -Urban Decay - Naked 2 Palette
rated 5 of 5

OMG LOVE THIS PALETTE! so much better than the first one! first off, the case is so much more protective. secondly, you get a free lipgloss. Thirdly, you get such a nice brush instead of the zero/bourbon eyeliner that they originally packaged with the first few naked1 palettes. And last but certainly the best part....more variety of shades! way more cool tones for fair skin, but also warm tones for darker skin. Also more matte colors which i sometimes like having the option of. Favorite Palette ever!

Makeup Brushes -Too Faced - Flatbuki brush (extra short handle)
rated 5 of 5

i am in love!! great for throwing into your makeup bag or just everyday use at your vanity! such a great money compromise for buying this one instead of the full size. or if you are like me, i bought 2 of the short handles to use one at home and one for my makeup bag in my purse. that equals the price of 1 long handled brush... onto the product...the hairs on the brush are so incredibly soft and antimicrobial. great for acne-prone like myself! i will never go back to mineral brushes!!!!!

Primer/ Corrector -Too Faced - Primed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer
rated 5 of 5

best primer for pores! especially if you are oily like me. primers usually ball up on me and it just turns into a disaster! this one doesn't do that. wish it was bigger for $30 though.

Loose Powders -Make Up For Ever - HD High Definition Loose Powder

not a fan. i swapped it for a coach perfume. a lot of people love it, but i didn't. i guess you really just have to try it in the store before you buy it. But if you are looking to camouflage pores, i can tell you this is not the best. too faced or benefit is your best bet

Lip Treatments -Fresh - Sugar Rose Lip Treatment SPF 15
rated 3 of 5
Akaia 5/25/2012 3:51:00 PM

i recently got this in the mini duo as the free birthday gift from sephora. i am swapping the clear one and keeping the rose. i used the rose for the first time today and i guess it is just a really hot day, or the product is really creamy and moisturizing. It melted! I love the product though! love the color and love how smooth it goes on and so moisturizing! just don't use it in the summer if you carry your lip products in your purse. lol. i put it in the fridge and hope to keep it. it didn't completely melt, but when i put it on, the tip became disfigured from it being so hot out. anyways, there's my 2 sense.

Makeup Brushes -Ecotools - Bamboo Bronzer Brush
rated 5 of 5
Akaia 5/3/2012 1:20:00 PM

love love love this brush!! comparable to the too faced teddy bear brush. you can use this for liquid foundation, powder, primer, or bronzer. i honestly prefer bristles that are farther apart for bronzers so i don't use it for that, but for foundation coverage, it is amazing! the only downside is that the handle is so incredibly large, i can't fit it into my pro brush palette/holder.

Misc Beauty Tools -Clarisonic - Mia

i love my clarisonic. you can put it in the shower and get it wet and it won't hurt it. also, a charger means you dont need batteries. it exfoliates and renews my skin every day so that i don't break out. keeps skin young and fresh by exfoliating, forcing your cells to renew faster.

Loose Powders -Physicians Formula - Mineral Wear Talc-Free Airbrushing Loose Powder
rated 2 of 5
Akaia 4/11/2012 2:44:00 PM

the lightest color was too dark, next time i will have to get translucent. it really did look like the right color in the packaging, but it turned out to be the wrong one. I did like the powder though. it gives really nice coverage and is talc-free, meaning it won't clog pores and cause break-outs. if you are very fair, get the translucent
