Makeup Brushes -E.L.F. - Eyeshadow Brush
Karowin 11/8/2012 9:04:00 PM
I use this brush every day, and it's perfect! It collects the perfect amount of eyeshadow, and applies smoothly. My only criticism is the metal attachment on this brush and two others broke, but I can glue it together.

Concealers -Hard Candy - Glamoflauge Concealer
Karowin 11/8/2012 8:43:00 PM
I use this concealer every day, and it covers better than any other concealer I've owned. I usually use this to cover any discolorations or red marks, then powder and it stays concealed for the day. I live in Canada and this is found from Walmart, and it seems others love it because sometimes when I go to buy it, it's all gone! I have the pencil too but find I don't use it very much, but it has nice pigmentation regardless. I bought it in light, but even with foundation and powder over it, it makes me appear more pale than I already am. That's pretty much the only thing I don't like about it, but it won't stop me from repurchasing in the future in a darker color.

Bronzers -L'Oreal - Glam Bronze Bronzing Powder - Enchanting Sunrise
Karowin 11/8/2012 8:16:00 PM
This blush is orange toned with lots of gold sparkles, a bit too much for my liking for an every day look. I have a warm skin tone and it complimented me, but I disliked when people would point out the glitter on my face. I think in the future I would rather purchase something with less sparkle for a more natural look.

Lipstick -Revlon - Matte Lipstick Really Red
Karowin 11/8/2012 8:09:00 PM
I have purchased from Revlon's Matte lipstick line before, and decided to purchase Really Red. One of the first things I noticed was how pigmented it is and it's staying power. I have a warm skin tone and was first worried that it wouldn't suit me, but I'm glad I made the choice of this lipstick. This is going to be my staple red color, I could see myself putting it into my everyday basic look. I would definitely repurchase.

Lipstick -Wet 'n' Wild - 520E Hot Paris Pink
Karowin 11/8/2012 8:03:00 PM
This color looks like a mix of hot pink, red, and fushia. I have a warm skin tone and would say this is a nice bright flattering color on me. It doesn't bleed, goes on smooth, and can be blotted to achieve a matte appearance. I bought this for very cheap on sale and would repurchase in the future.

Eye Shadow -Hard Candy - Eye Def Metallic eyeshadows
Karowin 11/8/2012 7:57:00 PM
I bought this in the color "Ditch", and eyed it each time I went to Walmart until I bought it. While I don't use it everyday, it is primarily because it is way too flashy for everyday use. It is a nice, very sparkly bronze color with gold micro glitter. I don't need to use primer with it, and my eyeliner stays put on top. The only thing I don't like about it is how difficult it is to make a smooth consistent application, usually I have to go over it a few times. However I would probably repurchase, but it'll last a long time before I get around to that/

Lips -Revlon - Just Bitten Lipstain + Balm
Karowin 11/8/2012 7:50:00 PM
I bought this in the color Twilight, and didn't end up using it too much because it didn't last, and stains any dry skin on your lips. It's a nice color, but applys pretty inconsistently, and the balm at the end already broke in half after a few uses. I'll give it some lippies for color, but that's about it... I would rather find something longer lasting in a similar color.

Lips -Revlon - ColorBurst Lip Butter in Peach Parfait
Karowin 11/8/2012 7:27:00 PM
Not a very unique color, but I like it and plan to use it all. It applies smooth and puts a nice pink-peach tint with tiny gold sparkles on my lips. I would say it compliments a warm skin tone best. While it is somewhat sticky, I'm also not used to wearing glossy lipsticks/glosses, it has a nice natural glow.

Eyeliner -Wet 'n' Wild - H2O Proof Liquid Eyeliner
Karowin 11/8/2012 6:50:00 PM
I have bought this twice and would say overall it's a pretty good waterproof eyeliner. I buy it in ultra black, and usually find it works better over time because the liquid is too runny at first. It never leaves black marks underneath my eyes, and I use it on my waterline and to fill the spaces between my eyelashes. I don't really like the "felt tip" kind of brush, I find it doesn't apply as smooth and consistent, so I have to sometimes touch up a few areas before I'm ready to go.

Eyeliner -L'Oreal - Extra-Intense Liquid Pencil Eyeliner
Karowin 11/8/2012 6:45:00 PM
All I have to say is wow! This eyeliner glides so smooth I had to adjust to using it when I first bought it. I bought it in carbon black, and it is extremely dark and pigmented! I can use this on my waterline and it will not smudge during the day. I also use the smudge-end to soften up the lines because it creates a very bold lining. I wear eyeliner every single day and it is one of the most important things in creating the looks I like, and I would definitely buy this again in the future!

Primer/ Corrector -Rimmel - Fix and Perfect Foundation Primer
Karowin 11/8/2012 6:34:00 PM
This is one of the first primers I've bought (In 001 by the way) for overall face coverage, and I could live without it. I usually end up squeezing too much out of the tube, and while it moisturises and slightly shrinks my pores (Which aren't too bad to begin with), I don't think it makes any different with how long my foundation lasts. I will probably use it all until it's gone, but I will most likely not repurchase.

Polishes -Essie - Shine of the Times
Karowin 8/22/2012 7:38:00 PM
I absolutely love this sparkle overcoat, it looks different for every color you put it on! Black is definitely my favourite to put it over, and I get many compliments as to what nail polish it is when I wear it. While I have tons of nail polish, this stands out to be one of my favourites. I found that after 4-5 months of owning this, the polish has become a little bit thicker (which is common for me at least with sparkle polishes), but I fixed it using nail polish thinner :)

Polishes -Wet 'n' Wild - Fergie - Tonight's Gonna Be a Good Night
Karowin 8/22/2012 7:35:00 PM
I absolutely love this product, and it's currently been on my nails chip-free for two weeks! I always have loved the matte sparkle trend, so when I saw this I had to buy it. The gold sparkles are also a very nice addition.

Bronzers -Wet 'n' Wild - Bronzer
Karowin 8/22/2012 7:32:00 PM
I would buy this product if I could find it again! I don't recall what color I got, but it was a nice rose color with gold sparkles in it, which complimented my skin tone very well. It had a lot of pigment, and I used it every single day. The downside to it was I dropped it once and the powder broke into many little pieces. While this is fixable, it also broke the packaging and the powder kept spilling out on a corner into my make up bag. I ended up putting the powder into a little container until it was gone. I would buy it again, but as mentioned I can't find it in stores for some reason.

Foundations -Maybelline - Dream Matte Mousse
Karowin 8/22/2012 7:28:00 PM
I bought this product twice, and I'm not really sure why. I liked how it looked when my skin wasn't breaking out, but when it did, it looked terrible and didn't cover much. At the end of the day it was mostly gone, and while I do touch my face a lot, I found that there are still many other foundations that covered better than this. It also dried my skin out after a month of using it.
