Eye Shadow -Maybelline - Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Shadow
samisparkle 3/4/2013 8:59:00 PM
I absolutely love these and will of course continue to repurchase them. First of all, the colors are gorgeous and nicely pigmented. I have Bad to the Bronze, and it is a gorgeous color that looks amazing just as that one color on my lid, which is really quick and easy to apply. Second, I really like the consistency and texture. Third, they are really long wearing and you don't need a primer. I got my head wet by accident while wearing this eyeshadow and it did not budge. These are amazing and I will definitely buy more! Even though they are kind of on the pricey side for drugstore eyeshadow, it is totally worth the money. These are soooo amazing I TOTALLY RECOMMEND I LOVE THEM SO MUCH WORDS JUST CANNOT EXPRESS

Cleansers -Aveeno - Positively Radiant Cleanser

Don't get me wrong-- this cleanser is a FINE cleanser. it works and all, but it does not lather which bothers me, and i feel like it dries out my skin a little bit.

Blush -Maybelline - Dream Bouncy Blush
samisparkle 11/21/2012 10:30:00 AM
I like this blush. it's very creamy, blendable, and buildable. all of the colors are so pretty, at least in the pan. The blush works well.. Kind of hard to apply by brush, though. I use my fingers. My only issue is that its kind of a gimmick in the way that most people only buy it because its bouncy. I feel like lately, maybelline is focused more on the image of their products and not so much the quality.

Concealers -MAC - Studio Finish Concealer
samisparkle 11/21/2012 10:15:00 AM
I had a huge, visible bruise right on my forehead which I got a few days before my Bat-Mitzvah and didn't seem to be going away. So I went to the MAC counter at Nordstroms and the lady put this on my bruise (along with the studio fix powder, which didnt do a whole lot) and it disappeared. It has GREAT coverage, but it's kinda annoying to apply and blend in a pinch. It works really well under the eye, too, but not the best at concealing the redness around my nose. It's not really an everyday concealer. Ever since it completely saved my butt on my Bat-Mitzvah I have fallen in love with it and am now always going to count on it. GREAT concealer, but it's expensive. Glad I wasn't the one paying.

Mascara -Maybelline - Great Lash Mascara
samisparkle 11/21/2012 10:03:00 AM
I noticed the picture above is outdated. They changed the packaging and maybe the formula. I LOVE this mascara so much, but I prefer Great Lash Lots Of Lashes to plain ol' Great Lash. LOTS OF LASHES IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the brush, and you can really get the mascara everywhere and my eyelashes look big and volumous and NOT CLUMPY after I put it on. There is a visible difference with Lots of Lashes; my friend complemented my lashes (sounds weird, huh?) Great Lash is a little messier and my eyelashes looked a little clumpier after I put it on then Lots of Lashes. BUT I have used the two in a moving vehicle without a hitch and they are not messy. GREAT MASCARAS I HAVE NO IDEA WHY GREAT LASH IS GETTING SUCH BAD REVIEWS IT'S GREAT, BUT LOTS OF LASHES IS JUST AMAZING!!!!

Liquid -Maybelline - Fit Me Foundation
samisparkle 10/2/2012 6:34:00 PM
I really like this foundation! It is very blendable and looks really natural. The color matches my skin perfectly! My skin is clear, so I don't need a foundation with a lot of coverage (Fit Me doesn't offer a lot of coverage), but it does conceal my dark(ish) circles mostly, it evens out my skin tone, and it makes my face look brighter, as well. It works really nice for me, but my skin is really good if I do say so myself ; no breakouts or redness, just the occasional pimple. The formula is too runny and liquidy for the packaging, I wish it would come in a pump though. That would be much easier. I would not recommend this foundation if you are acne-prone, but it's great if you have clear skin!
