Blush -MAC - Sheertone Blush in Peaches
betseylee 9/30/2012 2:53:00 PM
Loooove this blush. I have really warm undertones, which I always try to conceal, so using a warm/pinky blush wasn't helping. I wanted a peach blush for a overall neutral tone. This blush is nicely pigmented, blends out easily, and is the perfect matte peach color. I use self tanner(nw35/40) and it shows up beautifully, even when I'm not tan (nw20) it looks really natural. No break outs or problems. Definitely give Peaches a try :)

Treatments -Paul Mitchell - Instant Moisture Daily Treatment
betseylee 9/30/2012 2:33:00 PM
My hair is really oily and becoming thin, so I wanted something lighter than the conditioner i was using before (All Soft). This made my hair really tangled and it made my ends look way more damaged than they are. Definitely not moisturizing for me.

Self Tanners -Unlisted Brand - St. Moriz Self Tanner Foam
betseylee 5/15/2012 2:03:00 AM
Got this on ebay for only $6. It left a really nice and natural color but it doesn't last longer than a day :( Compared to my Jergens, Clairins, and L'oreal, this gave me the darkest tan but it washes off way too quickly. Clarins lasts about 3 days on me and Jergens lasts about 2. It's a really cheap price but it's a hassle putting on self tan every other day. Not sure I would buy it again.. if it lasted at a few more days this would be the best self tanner I've tried

Misc Beauty Tools -Unlisted Brand - Plus White - 5 Minute Speed Whitening Gel
betseylee 1/24/2012 2:03:00 AM
I got this for only $6 after hearing great reviews. I am almost done my two weeks of whitening and I can say that the whitening is the same as the professional crest whitestrips I used last year. I didn't use a mouth guard or anything. The taste is a lot better than strips, it's just minty, i don't taste chemicals until the last few minutes. It's so cheap but after all these reviews I was hoping it would whiten my teeth more. also, crest never made my teeth sensitive, but this gel did after the third time. I had to stop for a day. Might as well try for the price!

Blush -mark - Good Glowing Powder Blush -After Glow
betseylee 12/19/2011 4:55:00 PM
Got this blush because I heard it was a great dupe for my favorite blush, Nars Orgasm. I tried it but it barely even shows up on my skin and I'm about a nc 35. I tried putting more on then my face looked too pink. Maybe it would work on really really pale skin, but it didn't look like Orgasm to me, like I wanted.

Blush -NARS - Orgasm Blush
betseylee 12/8/2011 11:46:00 PM
Love this blush. seriously tried going back to my other blushes after this one and i couldn't. so pigmented it lasts over a year so it's worth the $28. the packaging is really cute but once i hit pan the blush cracks and turns into a mess, so you have to be careful with it. try it out it's so beautiful :)

Mascara -L'Oreal - Voluminous mascara
betseylee 12/8/2011 11:38:00 PM
I got this mascara last month and all it's done was flake. I like my mascara to feel hard/strong if that makes sense. but when i touch my eyelashes with this on, the mascara just flakes more and feels really brittle/soft. hard to explain! But i also hate the way this makes my lashes look so clumpy and short. This might be the worst mascara i've tried.

Concealers -Kat Von D - Tattoo Concealer
betseylee 12/8/2011 11:24:00 PM
First off, this is called a "Tattoo concealer" because kat von d is a tattoo artist, it's not actually meant to cover tattoos. I use this on my under eye area. I gave the packing a low rating because the lid kept falling off and suddenly went missing after only a month of having it. This product is very pigmented, I've had it over a year (i wear make up every day) and i still have at least half of the tube left! so although it's pricey, there's a lot of product. But after a while this concealer started to crease under my eyes. making me look wrinkled even though i'm young. it could be because of the product drying faster because of the lid missing. I would not repurchase because of creasing and the high price. It would work better on other parts of the face.

Hair Color -Clairol - Nice n' Easy -new formula
betseylee 11/3/2011 3:31:00 PM
Purchased this permanent hair dye in Natural Dark Brown. I have natural dark brown hair but my light brown highlights were fading, so I decided to dye it all dark to get it one color. This turned my hair completely jet black for 7 weeks. I tried everything to get it out (baking soda, sun, clarifying shampoo) my scalp got so dried out from washing so much. Now, 2 months later, my hair is finally starting to fade a little. But, the light brown I wanted to cover is coming back. So I basically fried my hair more for nothing. Worst hair dye ever used, and I've tried all kinds.

Concealers -Smashbox - High Definition Concealer
betseylee 6/16/2011 2:48:00 PM
Nothing special. not worth the $30 at all. really thin kind of water like consistency. doesn't last over an hour under my eyes and it comes with barely any product for the price. only good this is that it feels moisturizing but if youre going to spend that much on a concealer at sephora go for another like kat von d's tattoo concealer.

Makeup Brushes -MAC - #217 Blending
betseylee 5/24/2011 9:34:00 PM
I can't believe i used such harsh eyeshadows without this brush. my eye make up always looked off because my other brushes never blended it properly. this brush is worth the $28. my black eyeshadows blend in so beautifully now. if my 217 ever gets ruined i'll be sure to run out and get a new one. i've been using this for a few months now and it's never shed. deep clean once a week and spot clean with mac brush cleanser (kind of a waste of money) in between uses.

Styling Products -TRESemme - Instant Heat Tamer Spray
betseylee 5/24/2011 9:31:00 PM
I've only used salon heat protectants before this like paul mitchells flat iron one (which was HORRIBLE $20 and it left so much residue on my straightener and made my hair crunchy and look disgusting). this one was on sale for $4 so i decided to give it a try. i'm really impressed it makes my hair so much softer and shinier. i spray it on after i put on morroccan oil then i blowdry my hair :)

Makeup Brushes -MAC - #187 Duo Fiber Face Brush (Stippling, Skunk Brush)
betseylee 5/24/2011 9:27:00 PM
One of my favorite purchases ever!! my foundation looks so flawless when I use this brush. it also stays on all day (I use revlon colorstay). I've had it for a few months now, wash it weekly and its only shed a couple of hairs. it was almost $60, really pricey for my first foundation brush but it's great for so many things. i apply my bronzer with with too. this and macs 217 brush have completely transformed the way i look. such a difference from using my fingers before. highly recommend to anyone.

Hair Styling Tools -Farouk CHI - Chi Ceramic Flat Iron by Farouk
betseylee 4/1/2011 12:52:00 AM
i had my chi flat iron for only 7 months. i invested my money into this because i expected it to last for at least a few years. it was good while it lasted. my hair looked straighter with this one than my other straighteners, although this one fried it a lot more than the others. BUT i paid 160 for this piece of crap that stopped working after a few months definitely regret buying it, and when i called the company they were SO rude. never buying a chi ever again. i just got a ghd and it's tons better.
