I have been trying to get my hands on this after watching so many makeup tutorials rave about it. Here is what I dont like: -Very scented -formlua is not moisturizing enough -chalky on my skin and makes me look older- thats enough of a reason for me not to want to use it. Search continues....

Highlighters -Wet 'n' Wild - Fergie Centerstage Collection

This is for the "To Reflect" Shimmer Palette. Simply gorgeous color. Adds shimmer to all skin tones. The texture is not as soft/silky as I would have liked, but for six buck, its a great value. Can be used as a highlighter or all over color. I use it as an eye shadow, it makes blue eyes pop. Check it out.

Comodogenic and it smells really bad. For the cost there are plenty of products out there that do the same thing.

Styling Products -L'Oreal - EverStyle Smooth and Shine Creme
rated 5 of 5

Great product. Word on the street is that this is the same formulation as the Kerastase product but for 1/5 of the price. The smell is a bit much for me, but it fades pretty quickly. Keeps my coarse, wavy hair smooth and shiny. For the price, it's a definite yes.

Lip Gloss -Clinique - Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss in Rootbeer

Omg I love this stuff. I got a mini courtesy of a swap and I am in love. This is the MLBB gloss I have been searching for since I was 16 (long time ago). So glad this was given to me in a swap as I don't think I would have bought this because it looks brown. It does not show up brown. I'm off to buy a couple more for my purse and car!

It's all been said before me. Gorgeous, wearable, peachy, pinky, chocolate brown. I add a touch of clear gloss for shine. Great everyday color and I'm always looking for those!

Mascara -Jordana - Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara
rated 5 of 5
cjsmommasan 10/25/2012 5:52:00 PM

I am a sucker for trying out products based on MUA reviews. Just check my swap items for proof. Some are duds, some are winners. This one is a winner. Beautiful, glossy, black, defined lashes. I do wipe the wand to reduce excess product. For the price, you really can't go wrong. Check out my swap items for my sealed back up of this product. Go Jordana!!

Foundations -Erno Laszlo - Absolute Finish Finishing Mousse Foundation

I bought this in bisque because of the great reviews. The color is an orange mess on me. It settled in all my fine lines and made my skin look dry even though my skin is NOT dry. Off to swap land for this one.

Highlighters -TheBalm - Mary-Lou Manizer
rated 5 of 5
cjsmommasan 10/24/2012 12:24:00 AM

Finally a product that lives up to the hype. This is a gorgeous product. It makes your skin glow. Applied: Over bronzer on cheeks, upper corner of brow bone and over cupids bow. Got compliments all day. Lots of product and a little goes a long way, so I think for the cost, this is a good value. HG for me.

I just can't get over the heavy perfume scent. It's overwhelming. I could not leave it on to test the product because of the smell.

Grosssssss. Ok I need to STOP buying these NYX glosses based on the reviews. Color is awful. Cherry cough syrup smell , yuck. Thick, gloppy.

Lip Gloss -Clarins - Instant Light Lip Perfector - Rose Shimmer

For the price, is really expected more. The color is pretty but not exceptional. I don't find it particularly moisturizing or long lasting. I won't purchase again.
