Masks -Unlisted Brand - Milk of Magnesia
WretchedRevenge 7/11/2012 2:00:00 PM
This stuff as a primer for make up was an awesome cheap alternative. I bought it after reading reviews and seeing it on beauty tip sites and i tried it and it worked. It comes on chalky and uneven but I realized a trick is a damp disposable make up sponde or damp cotton pad for application fixes that. It will still come on a bit streaky but easy to even out, and i've noticed it evens itself out when you apply foundation. I just moved to a humid state from California and this controls the oil and moist shiny look and the added skin benefits i found online is a plus. Even if you're skeptical igt's a cheap must try.

Eye Shadow -Lancome - Color Design in Couture Intense
WretchedRevenge 7/10/2012 4:06:00 PM
This color came in a quad pallette I got from my mom. I love this color but the only reason I wouldn't buy again is because of the price and the color isn't worth the money to me. I think it's an awesome eye shadow just not for my features.

Eye Shadow -Lancome - Color Design Eye Shadow in Daylight
WretchedRevenge 7/10/2012 4:01:00 PM
This is more of a white matte color so I use it as an under brow highlighter. It works so well for me if I use a good brush that I would definitely buy it again.

This is one of my favorite metallic eye shadows. It's made me fall in love with bronze colors. It is one of my everyday eye shadows.

Powder -Maybelline - Mineral Power Powder Foundation
WretchedRevenge 7/10/2012 3:52:00 PM
I used to buy this stuff religiously because i'm makeup-challenged and I thought it worked for me. However, I have since discovered better stuff like Loreal True Match. I stopped buying this and haven't gone back. The container says no preservatives, fragrance, oils or Talc. So i'm guessing it's a heathier alternative but coverage wise it didn't work well for me when I was tan and when I was very pale.

Eyeliner -Revlon - Colorstay Eyeliner
WretchedRevenge 7/10/2012 3:47:00 PM
This is one of my favorite drug store pencil eye liners. I found this and haven't used any other pencil eye liner since. Not even name brand stuff you can find in Sephora. This goes on smooth and even and it's so easy to make an even straight line without messing up. If you are make-up challenged like me and love good quality makeup this is for you. It's dark, not chalky and see through. Easy, fast application and stays on all day. Easy to wash off. Doesn't smudge or get in your eyelid creases. It's one of those things that if you find what you love, you stick with it. This works for me so I see no reason to change. It worked for me in dry climates of California and it works just as great for me here in the very humid climate of Louisiana.

Concealers -L'Oreal - True Match Super-Blendable Concealer
WretchedRevenge 7/10/2012 3:41:00 PM
I love this concealer. It has lasted me forever and it is one of my favorite drugstore concealers. Even though I keep having to change coverups because moving to so many different climates, this is the only thing that doesn't have to change for me! AH-mazing!

Pressed Powders -L'Oreal - True Match Super-Blendable Powder
WretchedRevenge 7/10/2012 3:37:00 PM
I loved this face powder in combination with the True Match liquid foundation. This was my longtime favorite combo when I lived in California, however, when I got stationed in a humid state this wasn't working so well. It's by no means the worst I just don't have experience in humidity so I am still on the hunt for the perfect drugstore make up for humid weather. This make up still allows my face to get oily in the humidity when I step outside. With that being said, in dry climates like California this is definitely my FAVORITE, but in humid southern states not so much (not the worst thought).

Liquid -L'Oreal - True Match Super-Blendable Makeup SPF 17
WretchedRevenge 7/10/2012 3:31:00 PM
I have been using this make up for awhile. It worked for me when I was in the dry climate of California, however, when I got stationed in a humid state the coverage was there but it couldn't defy humidity. My skin gets oily and sweaty looking. With that being said, awesome make up and great coverage for dry states, Not so good (but not the worst) for humid states. It is my favorite foundation when I am in my home state of California, especially when you add the true match compact powder as a finish, but I have yet to find an awesome drug store cover-up for humid states.

Liquid -Maybelline - Super Stay Makeup
WretchedRevenge 7/10/2012 3:24:00 PM
I just recently got this make up because I am in the Army and got stationed in a state that is high in humidity (so not what i'm used to). Anyways one Facebook status later I had a bunch of referrals to try this make up because supposedly it lasts through sweat and humidity (this coming from my friends back home in the dry heat of California). Anyways, I'll cut to the chase. This make up is thick, it covers excellently, probably a good make up for dry climate. But in southern humid states it's not good. My face gets really shiny and glossy and oily by the time i leave the house and when I clean my make up off at night with a make up cleansing wipe there isn't any face make up left just my eye make up lol I try not to leave my reviews without a comparison or another option so i'll just say that I had better coverage with Loreal True Match. It's lighter, smoother, stays on longer, Doesn't get as oily but the trick is to put on the liquid foundation then the compact powder. Also another side note is that these make ups work better on darker complexion. The lighter skin tones don't offer as good of coverage for either of these brands.

Eye Shadow -Hard Candy - Kaleyedescope Baked Duo in Bad Reputation
WretchedRevenge 7/10/2012 2:59:00 PM
I love Hard Candy eye shadows. The only reason I wouldn't buy again is because Black doesn't look good on me. I use the white in this as a highlighter and I use the black when I want dramatic eyeshadow but this color pallette isn't my most used. I would recommend these eye shadows to friends, just a different color like the High Maintenence duo which is my favorite. I think my only pet peeve is that these eye shadows fall apart, break off and crumble easily (not on your eyes but in the package)...easy fix if you know how to press your own makeup.

Eye Shadow -Hard Candy - Kaleyedescope in High Maintenance
WretchedRevenge 7/10/2012 2:48:00 PM
This is one of my favorite everyday eyeshadows! I'm blonde with blue eyes and these colors bring out my eyes and compliment my skin. as long as you primer your eyelids with eye primer or concealer the color will show as seen in the container. I love the subtle shiney glittery look the eye shadow brings. My only complaint would be that the lids break off the case easily and also that the eyeshadow crumbles. It's a little messy (in the container not on your eyes) but the color stays all day. It has lasted me a long time but it could have lasted longer if the eyeshadows didnt break apart and crumble so easily. If you know how to press your own make up this is an easy fix though!

Mascara -Hard Candy - Ginormous Lash Volumizing Mascara
WretchedRevenge 7/10/2012 2:41:00 PM
I have been ussing this mascara for awhile (trying to use it up) and I think it's average drug store mascara. I'm not sensitive but at first my eyes reacted to it and it made my eyelashes and eyes itch even after I washed it off for bed. I kept using it and for the most part it's not as bad. I like that the applicator doesn't clump, but you have to apply it a few times on blonde/lightbrown eyelashes for it to really be dramatic. It does make your eyelashes long for the day but I haven't noticed and longterm eyelash growth from the eyelash growing serum inside. Overall it's a decent drugstore brand but I'm on a search for a better one so I think I'll keep experimenting with other brands.

Eye Shadow -Hard Candy - Eye Def Glitter Eyeshadow in Robot
WretchedRevenge 7/10/2012 2:35:00 PM
I'm not usually a negative nancy but I have a lot of Hard Candy makeup because I'm a drugstore make up type person (cheap lol), but this is the only product I found by Hard Candy so far that I am disappointed with. Its clumpy, pasty, and the applicator is messy. I love glitter but this doesn't go on evenly or smoothly. It's rough (duh it's glitter) but the consistancy of this is chunky and pasty which is probably why i'm disappointed.
