Palettes -Urban Decay - Book of Shadows Vol. III 
alexa1995 7/18/2012 1:14:00 AM
Let me begin by saying that this is a palette for those who enjoy nighttime/dramatic eye looks!! The packaging is cute, but I care about the product. The palette comes with 16 eyeshadows (equivalent in grams to about half of a MAC eyeshadow each) two small eyeliners, and a mini Primer Potion. The pigmentation of the shadows is fantastic. Kush, Radium, Haight, and Psychedelic Sister are my favorite shadows in the palette. While given a few neutrals to work with, there isn't a matte blending or highlighting shade. This palette is full of shimmer and glitter, but for colorful looks, the Book of Shades III cannot be beat!

Blush -NYX - Rouge Cream Blush - Rose Petal

Regardless of color choice, the NYX creme blushes are a phenomenal buy for the money! Those who have dry skin will love these. Highly pigmented and easily blend able. Rose Petal is a mauve-pink that compliments my skin tone.

Makeup Brushes -Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman - Travel Essentials set
alexa1995 7/18/2012 1:02:00 AM
I love these brushes! I was surprised to find them at my local ULTA and wanted to give them a go. This is a nice beginning set; one is able to get a good feel for the brushes without spending a fortune. Great for beginners or those just looking for an affordable set of brushes.

Eye Shadow -Urban Decay - Naked Palette
alexa1995 1/1/2012 11:34:00 AM
The Urban Decay Palette is a wonderful investment for those who enjoy playing with eyeshadows. A cult favorite of gurus, this palette lives up to its reputation. This palette has a good variety of finishes on the eyeshadows (matte, glittery, satin, etc.). Virgin and sin are lighter colors perfect for beginners. I use this palette often when I travel. In addition, the palettes come with a baby primer potion and a double-sided eyeliner or eyeshadow brush.

Concealers -Kat Von D - Tattoo Concealer
alexa1995 1/1/2012 11:26:00 AM
My go-to concealer I have used consistently for over a year now! Despite other reviews, this concealer covers my dark circles well. It is a heavier coverage concealer and does a wonderful job at hiding acne/acne scars. Definitely buying when I run out!

Wonderful highlight color. The pigmentation is fantastic. Not too much shimmer, but enough to brighten the eyes. Would recommend and would buy again!

Hair Color -Unlisted Brand - Sun-In - Highlighting Spray

I would not suggest this. My hair was dirty blonde and it turned it an ugly orangy-blonde. Better off with hair color.

Eye Shadow -Bare Escentuals - Glimmer- Summer
alexa1995 10/13/2009 8:06:00 PM
I love this eyeshadow! Great pigmentation, and with a good eyebase - never creases. I wear this eyeshadow, a little blush and lipstick during the summer and that's all I need. Works well on warmer skin tones (wouldn't recommend for anyone super pale.)

Lip Gloss -Smashbox - Lip Enhancing Gloss - ILLUME
alexa1995 10/12/2009 8:11:00 PM
This is my go-to gloss! It's nude with a bit of shimmer than can be paired with a lipstick, lip-stain, or alone. It's not too sticky and lasts for hours. I would definitely recommend this product - if not this color but another to anyone.

Primer/ Corrector -Clinique - Pore Minimizer Instant Perfector
alexa1995 10/12/2009 8:03:00 PM
This product virtually makes pores disappear! I gave this a "4" because I don't like the formula's finish very much.

Liquid -Neutrogena - Skin Clearing Oil-Free Makeup
alexa1995 10/12/2009 7:43:00 PM
I was looking for a new liquid foundation at Target. I went to the Neutrogena aisle (they always have nice skin products.) Anyway, my skin is somewhat dry but I also have acne. This product is very sheer and dries out my skin. The color matched nicely however and it lasted all day. Will not rebuy. EDIT: I recently picked up this foundation in a different shade and really like it! While the color is sheer, it is definitely build-able. The colors are nice. I actually think this foundation is better suited toward those with dry skin as it leaves a very dewy finish. Definitely have changed my opinion about the product!

Blush -MAC - Mineralize Skinfinish - Glissade
alexa1995 10/12/2009 7:39:00 PM
This blush (which also works as a bronzer) is fantastic. I'm young and still experimenting with makeup so my application isn't quite perfect. However I always get a great look with this blush. It provides the right amount of color without looking overdone. I recommend using a big Kabuki brush for optimal results

Lip Treatments -Maybelline - Maybelline XL Lip Plumper
alexa1995 10/12/2009 12:26:00 PM
This is by far my favorite drugstore lipgloss. It plumps lips very well (although it can leave a burning sensation). The reason I gave this product a "4" is because it does not last long at all.
