Liquid -Revlon - ColorStay Makeup
aclockworkrystn 5/16/2013 2:46:00 PM
I've always had trouble finding a good foundation because of my fair complexion; they always tend to look too orange-y or dark. I saw this one (I believe I have it in 'Buff') and it looked like it would be a perfect match. It was! I do find that this is a bit of a heavy duty foundation and since I don't need a lot of coverage (just for some redness around my nose, really), so I mix this 1 part foundation and 2 parts moisturizer and it works GREAT! Better than any foundation or tinted moisturizer I've ever used. This is really great makeup, comes out of the bottle quite easily unlike some formulas with the same packaging. I suggest anyone who finds this too heavy to try mixing it with some moisturizer; it makes a huge difference! The only thing I don't care for is the packaging; would be much better with a pump. It's also not the cheapest (I think I paid $16 for mine) but I find it's worth it. I would repurchase for sure.

Conditioner -Dove - Nourishing Oil Care Conditioner

After completely frying my hair a little over 2 years ago and having to cut most of it off, I've been taking VERY good care of my hair. I recently started the process of going blonde again (I dyed my hair a dark brown after I chopped it), so I've been looking for products that will keep my hair at it's best. Since February, I've had 2 sets of foils and an all over bleach. Between these, I was using products like Ion Repair solutions and Joico KPak Revitaluxe. They were doing okay but I feel ultimately, were depositing too much keratin into my hair. I know too much protein isn't good for your hair, as it can make it feel brittle, so I decided to look for something moisturizing. After seeing this in Top Picks and reading the reviews, I went to go pick this up. I got to the store and it was marked down from $4.99 to $2.97 (so, cheap!). I got home and used it last night and WOW. I can't remember the last time my hair felt so good. Even when I was using Joico and Ion, my hair felt tangled and filmy when wet. Also, I air dry my hair and it would end up frizzy at the ends and infront of my ears and I would have to straighten it. I actually assumed the hair in front of my ears was too dry to fix because it always felt frizzy and course. But not after this stuff! My hair was soft and untangled after I rinsed and air dried beautifully! No frizz, even on the ends and in front of my ears. Didn't have to straighten any of it. I couldn't believe it! Definitely worth it, especially for the price. Will absolutely repurchase.

Tinted Moisturizer -Wet 'n' Wild - Ultimate Sheer Tinted Moisturizer--Sunkissed

Love this! Haven't used a TM in a while and after reading the reviews on here, I decided to give it a try. I'm quite fair and when I first squeezed a bit of the product out, I was nervous about how it would look because it's darker than the bottle would lead you to believe. Anyway, once I applied it, it looked great! Gives me a nice glow, evens out my skin tone and blends well so my face doesn't look mismatched compared to the rest of me. I'm really excited to continue using this!

Concealers -Rimmel - Match Perfection Concealer

I have always had an issue with dark circles under my eyes and have tried MANY concealors and this one is by far the best yet. It works wonders for under the eyes, covered my dark circles very well, blended nicely and does have a nice highlighting effect. Much better than Revlon ColorStay concealor (my last concealor). Will definitely repurchase.

Mascara -L'Oreal - Voluminous Million Lashes
aclockworkrystn 8/6/2011 11:12:00 AM
I just picked this up yesterday for $8.98 CAD at Wal Mart after reading the (positive) reviews on here. And let me just say I have tried SO many mascaras over the last few years and this one is definitely one of my favourites. I bought the non-waterproof (never seem to like waterproof formulas) in blackest black and it made my lashes so black and long and voluminous and it holds a curl well. The only down fall I find is that the formula is quite wet so you have to be a bit careful applying it and do it slowly, but it's worth it in my opinion. The brush could also be a bit better in order to separate the lashes but I just went over it with my CoverGirl Lash Blash volume brush to do so and it turned out great. Overall, I'm really pleased with this mascara and I would definitely repurchase.

Picked this up yesterday at Wal Mart for $6.97 CDN and I am already in love with it! It is the perfect shade of pink and just looks so nice. Better staying power than any other lip gloss I can think of that I've used. I highly recommend it and I will DEFINITELY repurchase.

Mascara -Cover Girl - Lash Blast Volume
aclockworkrystn 7/7/2011 3:48:00 PM
Let me just begin by saying that I am a mascara nazi and have tried so many different kinds and this one definitely stands out as the best so far. The wand is great, it doesn't clump at all or flake and you can layer it nicely. I also curl my lashes before applying mascara and out of all the mascaras I've used, this one holds the curl best and lasts all day! The only reason I'd ever stray away from this is 'cause I'm constantly on the hunt for something better when it comes to cosmetics but for now this is my HG mascara and I will definitely repurchase.
