I got this as a 2 for one sale at Bath and Body Works about 6 months ago. I use this as a facial moisturizer instead of a body cream but it really works! My face has improved so much in texture and tone since I started using this! It is extremely thick so you do not need to use a lot of it on the face, and for the body it is the same! It doesn't have an overpowering scent so it is great on sensitive skin. Love it!

Mascara -Maybelline - Define A Lash
rated 5 of 5

I have been using this product since it came out and I am in LOVE! It provides great definition in the lashes, make mine look 2x the length. I never wear fake lashes but I always am asked it I do! The mascara brush has a great way to distribute the product creating no clumping and it doesn't dry out too fast so you can apply another layer. I purchased the waterproof version of this mascara and find it hard to come off after a full day of wear. If I wash my face at night I still find that there is residue in the morning. So that is probably the only con I have about this product. I highly recommend this product if you have thin sparse eyelashes!

Highlighters -Hard Candy - Glow All The Way in Doll Face

This product does what it intends! It creates a beautiful glow on the face with a nice pink tone. It blends very well with the skin and has a nice shimmer. The only bad part I can say is that it doesn't stay on the skin for a very long time. Since the bottle is quite large it is not something that you can just casually carry around making is inconvenient to re-apply. Also since my cheeks are a little rosy to begin with, this product does bring that out but with the right foundation it looks very nice!

Liquid -Maybelline - SuperStay Makeup - New Version

I am loving this foundation. I have been on the search for a new foundation to be light enough for my skin but also able to help with the redness of my cheeks. I am an athlete that likes to have a matte finish on my makeup so that if I am sweating I don't look too greasy. This foundation is not extremely matte and blends very nicely into the skin with either a makeup brush or your hand. The coverage is really up to you! If you want to have varying levels of coverage then dilute with moisturizer or use it as is. Multiple layers will give you max coverage. I generally will prime my face with a moisturizer and put on one light layer of makeup and it covers redness. For reference I'm pretty sure I am NW30/25 though haven't been professionally matched. I have redness on my cheeks and t-zone so I wanted something with a warm tone to neutralize it. So I got this product in natural beige and it is perfect for my skin! I used to use the Covergirl trublend foundation in natural beige but it was too pink for my skin and I looked flushed all of the time. Pros Good colour spectrum for many skin colours Matte finish for shine control and a non-greasy look Great formula for coverage No smell Cons Bottle has no pump so it is hard to control product amount

Liquid -Revlon - PhotoReady Airbrush Mousse Makeup

This foundation smells like VINEGAR! I was just browsing at a drug store and tried it. The bubbles melted in my hand and when I put it up to put on my face it was the most disgusting smell a makeup has ever had. I did try it on a little on my cheek and it was lightweight and when dry had a nice powdery finish but it wiped off almost instantly. If you want to smell like a pickle have fun!
