Lipstick -MAC - Cremesheen - Creme d'Nude

Extremely disappointed with this product, although a lot of that comes with the way it looks on my skin (NC25). It was plain awful. Also, for some reason MAC lipstick formulas do not work well on my lips. They just separate and build up in in the lines in my lips and since it is no opaque it is extremely noticeable. I tried wearing this lipstick so many different ways in an attempt to like it: with lipgloss, with another lipstick, with only a little dabbed in the center of my lips... No matter what I did I could not get this to work for me. Highly disappointed. MAC lipsticks do not live up to the hype for me.

Mascara -Revlon - DoubleTwist

For the most part I do enjoy this mascara. I can get mega lashes with about 4 coats. However, it can get pretty dry in which case I usually just quickly put the brush through a teeny bit of running water. The only problem I had with this mascara is that it really bothered my eyes when I had my contacts in. Not sure if it was the formula.. or maybe adding a little water to it! :/

Liquid -Clinique - Acne Solutions Liquid Makeup

This was the first foundation I ever purchased because up until then I simply couldn't wear liquid foundation due to my acne-prone skin. Initially, I was a bit wary of the name-- I don't like to purchase acne curing products because they tend to break me out even more but I gave this a go. Overall I really do like this product a lot. The salycilic acid didn't irritate my skin and I didn't break out with it. That being said, I don't think it made my skin better, yet it didn't make it worse by any means. Coverage is "buildable", which on my skin I found to be about medium. It didn't cover up ALL of my acne scarring but it did a fairly decent job. It left a nice glow to my skin but I did have to touch up with powder every so often (But heck, what foundation doesn't require that?) The only issue I had with this foundation is the color match. The two colors I have (winter and summer) are both too pink for my skin. (I am probably on the darker side of NC25). The packaging is fairly nice, as well. It's in a squeeze bottle so there is no wasting of product when you dispense it.
