I don't wear foundation on a daily basis but I bought this foundation based on a friend's recommendation for occasions where I wanted full coverage. I like this foundation overall but there's something that makes me feel iffy about it. PROS -consistency is smooth and doesn't feel heavy -gives me almost full coverage from acne/redness/scars/etc. -large variety of colors -blends well on my face -you don't need a lot of it for full coverage -it doesn't look matte nor shiny on your face...it looks pretty natural -havn't really had any breakouts/acne from using it (i have combination skin) -easy to remove -lasts for most of my day...around 8 hours for me CONS -packaging is inconvenient because the tube comes with a pump and you can't really control how much product comes out meaning some product can go to waste -it's pricey..around $60 where I live (Toronto/Canada) -the smell...it's not unpleasant but it's noticeable

I'm on my third or fourth tube of this mascara and I love it..it's affordable, and if applied properly it'll do what it promises to your lashes. PROS -does not dry up quickly -doesn't have an unpleasant odor -easily separates every single one of my lashes -lengthens my lashes -the brush lets me get to every part of my lashes..even the inner and outer corners -the washable version comes off quickly -it's super affordable (5$ at my local drugstore) -available at almost every drugstore CONS -it doesn't really provide as much volume as it promises

I love this product but i'm not fully satisfied with it either. PROS -lasts ALL day -covers most blemishes on my face like acne/scars/redness/etc. -large variety of colours -the price is pretty fair considering its a MAC product -it blends on my face and looks natural (not cakey) -you'll only need 1-2 small pump for your entire face CONS -doesn't really cover my dark circles that well (which was the main reason I bought it) -the packaging is inconvenient since it's a pump and you can't control how much comes out so a lot of product can be wasted sometimes

Eyeliner -L'Oreal - Infallible Gel Lacquer Liner in Blackest Black

o m g...this eyeliner is absolutely amazing! I first bought it when I switched from liquid eyeliner to gel and i'll probably keep using it until it's discontinued. I can't believe the negative reviews.. I honestly think anybody who dislikes this eyeliner doesn't know how to apply it. PROS -smooth, creamy and glides on so softly (I just use the provided brush) -thick and highly pigmented -does not smudge -lasts the entire day...even sometimes when i've slept with it on -the container dsnt waste any of the product & it's easily accessable -available at almost every drugstore -does not get chunky, clump or dry even though i've had it for a long time CONS -it's a little expensive for a drug store brand (not for me, but some people may find it a little more pricey!)
