Powder -MAC - Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation
RicheleBarbie 5/30/2012 4:31:00 PM
Easily the best powder foundation I have ever tried. It last forever and adds a nice even coverage. I can apply it with a sponge or a Kabuki just depending on my mood. It can also be worn over a liquid foundation it your looking for more coverage. I wouldn't recommend this for dry skin or to be used alone if you have a lot of breakouts.

Liquid -Clinique - Even Better Makeup SPF 15
RicheleBarbie 9/5/2011 8:35:00 PM
by far the worst thing i have ever tried from clinique. i dont understand how some people like it? this has barely any coverage, doesnt last and its kinda pricey. i used it twice and i absolutely hated it. if you have oily skin with acne scars this will do nothing for you.

Pressed Powders -Clinique - Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder
RicheleBarbie 9/5/2011 8:26:00 PM
Its definetley worth the money! totally translucent, blends well. I dont use the sponge, I use a compact brush, but i can store it in the lid, i even like the mirror. This by far the best translucent powder. my makeup looks great all day, doesnt leave a white cast. I cant rave more about this! :)

Mascara -Almay - Get Up and Grow
RicheleBarbie 9/5/2011 8:23:00 PM
By far the best mascara I've tried. Doesnt dry out fast, not flakey, nice length and I have noticed my eyelashes are longer. It also doesnt irritate my eyes. only 4 lippies though, because it lacks a little on the volume. I'd say its in-between loreal voluminous and cliniques lash doubling mascara, if this gave me the volume that voluminous does then it would be the best mascara on this planet, but it doesnt so its a close 2nd. Definetley purchase for the length and eyelash growth, if you want more volume then add another mascara on top. ALSO the cap locks in place when you close it, what a great idea!

Primer/ Corrector -Clinique - City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25
RicheleBarbie 8/21/2011 2:46:00 PM
I usually rely on Monistat Chafing gel as a primer, but that broke me out like crazy. so i found this and it actually works just as well as monistat, if not better. I like how it has a teeny bit of tint to blur out imperfections and has spf. I still mix a little monistat because i like the consistency of that but this stuff is really great. no need for moisturizer & helps keep oily skin away. the price is very reasonable too.

Concealers -Clinique - Acne Solutions Concealer
RicheleBarbie 8/21/2011 2:41:00 PM
I actually like this. I follow the directions exactly and let the warmth from my fingers blend this, dot on your blemish & its covered perfectly. not cakiness whatsoever. the color selction is a little tricky but im surprised color 2 works great for me. a little goes a long way & im glad it has acne medicine. if you have occasional acne this is perfect. If you have severe acne the i wouldnt recommend this because if you apply it to a large area then you can tell. ALSO! do not use with acne solutions foundation or else it looks uneven and cakey.

Powder -Clinique - Blended Face Powder and Brush
RicheleBarbie 6/3/2011 6:50:00 PM
This is good for days when you dont feel like wearing any makeup & you want moderate coverage. It does tend to oxidize so if you have oily skin definetley wear a primer underneath & i wouldnt recommend it for all day wear. I have the color 04, so im not sure how well the translucent does. My mom uses this to set her colorstay foundation & se swears by this, but for me its just an average powder.

Misc Beauty Tools -Ulta - Eye Lash Curler
RicheleBarbie 5/28/2011 2:48:00 AM
Worst eyelash curler I've ever used! Tugs on my bare eyelashes & super stiff! Honestly, the $15 Ulta Prifessional one is a TON better! Go for that & dont even waste your time or $ on this!

Liquid -Clinique - Perfectly Real Makeup
RicheleBarbie 5/8/2011 3:07:00 PM
BEST FOUNDATION I HAVE EVER TRIED. if you want a natural coverage makeup then this is PERFECT. The color is a bit tan for me, but even with that it doesnt oxidize at all through the day! It has a little shimmer but it is very very natural, dries quickly & doesnt leave a makeup feel on your face.

Liquid -Clinique - Even Better Makeup SPF 15
RicheleBarbie 4/25/2011 1:52:00 AM
This is such an iffy product for me. It definetley has light coverage so I domtknow why some say heavy coverage? The color matches perfectly & it doesn't oxidize. But it isn't the best for oily skin, it dries dewy& eventuay does get very oily. My mom also tried this & hated it. I would totally recommen this to someone with normal skin, with out any blemishes

Foundations -Almay - Pure Blends 97.4% natural
RicheleBarbie 4/2/2011 5:57:00 PM
gross gross gross gross gross. i do not like this at all! thank goodness it was 75% off at CVS. the moment you put it on, it looks super oily. i like the smell & the coverage, but the staying power and "look" is so dissapointing. Even when my skin is dry, we're talking peeling and flaking EVERYWHERE, this looks ridiculously oily. Im not sure I'd even recommend this to the people with super dry skin.

Mascara -Ulta - Amped Lashes
RicheleBarbie 3/5/2011 10:11:00 PM
I adore this mascara! I wasnt expecting it to be great Ulta brand cosmetics aren't my favorite, their brushes neither. But I was pleasantly surprised. 1 coat is literally all you need. I like to add drama so I apply 2, but one does the trick! Im not sure how much this mascara is but it definetley is added to my favorites! & also if you have sensitive eyes I'd recommend this, I have very sensitive eyes & this mascara doesn't irritate them at all :)

Pros: - helped my acne - matte finish - lasts a good 4 hrs. Cons: - color selection - oxidizes - dries to quickly. Even though this isn't my favorite. I must say its the best I tried so far.
