Brows -Maybelline - Define-A-Brow
cnabbey88 3/5/2011 6:49:00 PM
Bought this in dark brown. I love it. The tip is super fine so you can get hair like strokes and make filling in your brows look natural. Lasts all day even through a work out with some intense sweating. I use a spooly brush to comb through my brows but the comb would be nice for people with long brow hairs. Def would recommend for anyone looking for something to fill in their brows that's easy to use. :)

Bronzers -BeneFit Cosmetics - HOOLA
cnabbey88 3/5/2011 6:47:00 PM
A great matte bronzer. The packaging is cute but the brush is kinda meh for me. I def. like it and would repurchase it. Doesn't make me look orange at all just bronzed. :)

Foundations -Make Up For Ever - HD High Definition Foundation
cnabbey88 3/5/2011 6:45:00 PM
I would purchase this again but I won't have to for a long time. Because of the pump (which doesn't allow any air to get in and contaminate it) and because I don't use it everyday this will last me a year to a year and a half. My color is 120 and matches perfectly. Covers well but not cakey or gross looking. Sits well on the skin and doesn't feel like a mask. It is pricey but again, for as long as it will last I gladly pay the price. I would recommend to anyone looking for a new foundation and doesn't mind shelling out a few extra bucks for some quality. :)

Concealers -Revlon - PhotoReady Concealer SPF 20
cnabbey88 3/5/2011 6:42:00 PM
Picked this up in light and its great. I have fair/light golden-neutral undertone skin and this is a good match. I used it under my eye and on some blemishes and it covered well. It's a stick concealer but goes on super creamy and glides easily. I would def. recommend to anyone. :)

Polishes -Wet 'n' Wild - Fast Dry Nail Color- How I Met Your Magenta
cnabbey88 1/18/2011 12:56:00 AM
I'll be honest, I got this because its names after How I met Your Mother, my all time favorite tv show. But I saw nouveaucheap's blog and loved the swatch. It is a very bright pink. A perfect shade for summer or really whenever. It went on very well not streaky at all. 2 coats did it for me. This lasted a whole week solid. Not even kidding. I use the same base/top coat with every polish and this lasted longer than any other polish I have. This is part of the new wnw collection so I recommend checking them out. These are also super cheap! Less than $2. I would get all of the shades but not all of the shades are for me. And yes, all the shades are named after tv shows. :)

Polishes -Essie - Nice is Nice
cnabbey88 1/18/2011 12:52:00 AM
This is a new polish that I picked up (believe it or not) at Walmart! This is part of the new collection, French Affair. This is a light lavender color. I'm not sure how this really compares with lilacism, but when looking at it in the bottle I'd say nice is nice is just a creamy pinky lavendar as opposed to a bluer lavender. The application was pretty good, not too streaky and went on in just a couple of coats. I just applied it so I will update with how it lasts. All in all I would recommend this polish to anyone who loves these lighter purples! :)

Palettes -E.L.F. - ENDLESS EYES 100 EYESHADOW PALETTE
cnabbey88 1/5/2011 4:20:00 PM
I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't have a lot of shadows or someone who doesn't have a lot of brights. This palette has EVERYTHING. Not all of the shadows are top quality but most are. I am still going through and trying everything but for $10 it was a steal! :)

Eyeliner -Jordana - Liquid Liner
cnabbey88 1/5/2011 4:16:00 PM
This is a great liquid eyeliner. It is very comparable to the Revlon colorstay liner. It is pigmented and lasts a long time. you can get precise thin lines or think heavy ones depending on how you apply it. It's $1 at walgreens so I don't see why you wouldn't pick it up. I recommend to anyone who loves liquid liner and the ease of the pen! :)

Lipstick -Maybelline - Color Sensational Lip Stain- 65 Cranberry Crush
cnabbey88 1/5/2011 4:08:00 PM
This product is great. I've not used other d/s lip stains but this is awesome. It lasts a really long time even if you eat or drink. It goes on really well and is easy to apply. This color is great for a red look. I layer a lip balm or lip gloss over this to tone it down and to add some shine and moisture. Overall a very good lip product! :)

Mascara -L'Oreal - Voluminous Million Lashes
cnabbey88 1/5/2011 4:02:00 PM
There's nothing amazing about this mascara but there's also nothing really bad about it either. It's not like the original voluminous mascara- which I like. The brush is flexible and has the plastic bristles and not a regular brush. The formula is ok. It takes a fair amount to even notice it on your lashes. I didn't think this volumized my lashes at all. I picked it up when I was on vacation and ran out of what I had brought along. I wouldn't buy it again. :/

Lip Gloss -NYX - Mega Shine- 104 Sweet Heart
cnabbey88 1/5/2011 3:59:00 PM
This is a great peachy pink nude shade. It smells good (a lil minty) not overpowering at all. There's not much shimmer if at all- goes on pretyy creamy. This also lasts pretty well even for a lip gloss. The applicator is nice (a slanted doe foot). The packaging is sleek and not bulky. I wouldn't buy NYX products off the site though or even at Ulta unless it's on sale. I got my NYX stuff on cherryculture(dot)com. It's way discounted and there's nothing wrong with the items. Highly recommend any of these shades! :)

Lipstick -Revlon - ColorBurst in 070 Soft Nude [DISCONTINUED]
cnabbey88 1/5/2011 3:53:00 PM
This is a good nude shade on me. Doesn't wash me out or look weird on. It doesn't give me concealer lips either. I am NC20-25 for reference. It goes on smoothly and is pretty moisturizing for a lipstick. I would recommend to anyone looking for a good nude lipstick. :)

Lipstick -MAC - Cockney - Euristocrats
cnabbey88 1/5/2011 3:48:00 PM
This is the perfect red shade for me. I am NC20-25. It is a lustre finish which I don't mind at all. It's super pigmented and looks great on. It looks like a neutral red (so no blue or orange undertones) from what I can tell. Of course lipsticks vary with everyone's skin tone so I would try it out at the counter first to make sure. It has the typical vanilla scent to the lip stick that all MAC lipsticks have but not anything overpowering. A great holiday lip color or any time you want to wear red. :)

Loose Powders -E.L.F. - Studio High Definition Powder
cnabbey88 12/2/2010 9:13:00 PM
I LOVE THIS. This gets so many reviews on youtube and it's been compared to the higher end brands. I really like that it is finely milled and it goes on really well. I use the powder puff that comes with it (which is super soft btw) and pat it on after I've applied my face makeup. This is awesome for setting and just everything in general. I love it :)
