Palettes -Tarte - neutralEYES natural eye shadow palette
basicKatie 6/1/2011 9:40:00 PM
I love this palette, i use it everyday almost. nice colors, stylish packaging, includes a full sized brown eyeliner, and a sample of their eye primer. 10 shades for 40ish dollars, comes out to about 4 bucks a shadow, which is a good deal, they last all day, and all night, i've never ever notices any fading or fallout at all. and i work in this stuff. the eyeliner it comes with is so smooth going on, but is so creamy that if you use it everyday, it will be spent within a couple weeks. i love their primer sample, i suppose i should add that i always use eye primer, which may contribute to the fact that i've never seen fallout or fading, i'm sure the primer takes care of that, in which i always use too-faced shadow insurance, i don't like all the colors in the pallete, such as bone, and the pink glitter shade, and if you do use the shades together,such as dark teal and olive, they will blend together and form a mess, same with brown and olive, navy and teal, they form to create a blucky color, but over all, with price, packaging, and stay power all included, i'll give this a four. the only reasaon i wont be buying it again is because i like buying different palettes all the time, but i would reccomend this palette to a friend who is new to the makeup world. definitely. not bad at all.

Concealers -Maybelline - Super Stay 24 Hour Concealer
basicKatie 6/1/2011 9:19:00 PM
reading through the other reviews, i find that many of the negatives for other reviewers are positives for me, i have very awful break out prone skin, so i need a concealer that will dry and stay, and this did exactly that. i hate moist concealers, because i find they smear and smudge. this is fast drying stays in place, and workes for me. i'd reccomend if you are prone to having acne like me, covers pimples great. :) and i can tell this tube is going to last quite a while, because to do all my imperfections, (which is very many btw) it only took one dip in the tube. the cost for this product is minimum! the cocealer i am used to is more than twice as much as the 5 or 6 bucks i paid for this., and this product works better for me than the other i'm used to. <3 this stuff. will recommend.

Loose Powders -Almay - Pure Blends Loose Finishing Powder
basicKatie 1/23/2011 3:12:00 AM
I hate this stuff- i bought it on sale, thankgoodness, or i'd be really angry- first- packaging: simple box, comes with the tiniest applicator, which i use a powder brush anyway, but still, that little thing is a joke. i have trouble geting the powder through the sifter, it is tiny as well. i tend to make a mess with it. now the powder i also dislike, i find it is very clump prone it makes my face look scaley and old. not a good finishing powder at all. i will not buy it again,

Eye Makeup Remover -Almay - Moisturizing eye makeup remover liquid
basicKatie 1/14/2011 7:41:00 PM
this remover works about as well as water. even while i scrub my eyeliner does not come off. i will never buy this again, i don't know how they can call it makeup romover, it's more scrubing than removing.

Makeup Brushes -Sonia Kashuk - Kashuk Tools Foundation Brush
basicKatie 1/14/2011 7:26:00 PM
this brush is about as good as a foundation brush will get, most foundation brushes will streak a bit, but patting it around the face after brushing it on makes it work out, it seems to be very sturdy, i use mine everyday, i clean it every other day, no fallouts, looks good as new, it is good quality, i'd recomend it.

Eyeliner -L'Oreal - Extra-Intense Liquid Pencil Eyeliner
basicKatie 1/14/2011 7:10:00 PM
this is fine, i will continue to use it until i find a better eyeliner, it is too big for me, you cannot make a thin line with it, and it is not blendable. very very black though, i like the color,but it smudges like crazy. also, the tip breaks off very easy and you will have to sharpen it constantly, which is annoying. if it was less fat, and was less prone to break off, i'd give it a 5. i will say it goes on super smooth,and feels nice going on, but they should do some work on this product, i see potential. lol

Eye Shadow -L'Oreal - HiP Metallic Duo - Gilded #806
basicKatie 1/14/2011 7:01:00 PM
i really like this line, they are nicely pigmented and stay in place, however, i am not in love with this particular combo, i like the gold, it's very very shiny, like liquid yellow gold, it is the exact color on your eye as inside of the container, the brown is fadey though, i had a hard time with it, overall great, but given the opportunity, i would not buy this particular combination again because the gold is actually -too- intense for me. lol

Blush -Maybelline - Brush Blush (In General)
basicKatie 1/13/2011 2:18:00 AM
i like this blush, it lasts all day for me, the only con is that after a while, it does not want to apply easily to my blush brush, i have to rub quite a bit to get much of anything on my brush so that's irritating. but it's cheap, and it works out, i would buy it again.
