Lip Gloss -Revlon - Super Lustrous Lip Gloss (general)
smitabee 8/24/2012 2:10:00 AM
To start off, I absolutely adore these lip glosses. I have never been one for lip products in general just because of the frustration of finding ones that work with my relatively dark skin. But when I decided to finally pick up one of these by recommendation from a friend I was sooo excited! The formula of these is honestly the best out of any other lip gloss I have tried. It is thick and creamy, but somehow manages not to be sticky unlike most drugstore products. Since it is still decently thick, the wear on them is about 3 hrs, which for a lipgloss is freaking excellent! I also adore the smell, contrary to many reviewers. Also, it is not in that gross squeeze tubed packaging like too many lipglosses now days but comes in a controllable doe foot applicator. I own two colors in this: Pearl Plum which is a beautiful plum shade that is just slightly darker than my natural lip color. It is a beautiful color that can be sheered out or applied generously depending on the intensity desired. However, I am not a fan of the multicolored glitter, however it is not unbearable. Nude Lustre which is basically my everyday lip color. It is a perfect nude, I think, for basically every skintone as it is such a universal nude color with hints of natural peach and pink in it. It does have irradecent shimmer in it but that doesn't bother me too much, in fact I like it as it adds extra shine. LOVE LOVE LOVE

Makeup Brushes -E.L.F. - Studio Blush Brush
smitabee 8/15/2012 7:41:00 PM
I had always assumed elf products were low quality, as I always bought the $1 items and been disappointed. However, I bought the elf powder brush and was so amazed with the quality that I bought this brush too and have fallen in love! i was using the one dollar brush from elf toapply my blush but after using this I'll never go back. Amazing product, great quality, soft, great shape, great brush.

Treatments -E.L.F. - Shine Eraser Blotting Sheets
smitabee 12/8/2011 12:49:00 AM
This was my first experience with oil blotting sheets :) i was at target when I saw these and I figured there was no harm done if I bought them AMAAZZZINNNGG I use about two of these during the school day and I'm really loving them :) they literally absorb all the oil on your face and leave it feeling smooth I was going to try the clean and clear ones but i figure these ones work fine for me so might as well use them! plus they're SO cheap! the packaging kinda sucks but for a dollar I'm not complaining LOVE LOVE LOVE

Polishes -Essie - Buy Me A Cameo
smitabee 11/24/2011 1:08:00 AM
Got to say, this is my favorite neutral nailpolish of all time :) It's a gorgeous pinky beigish color perfect for everyday wear. However it goes on quite sheer on the first coat so you're going to need to do apply atleast 2 coats. LOVE LOVE LOVE

Blush -Maybelline - Mineral Power Blush Fresh Plum
smitabee 11/24/2011 1:04:00 AM
On a whim, I bought this blush at Big Lots for only $3 and I'm glad I did! The color of this blush is so gorgeous, it's the perfect plum shade :) however, it is EXTREMELY pigmented which some people may like but I find that i always end up getting too much product on my cheeks and end up looking ridiculous. So if you use this product correctly and barely pick up any product, it's an amazing blush and should last you a long time.

Liquid -Maybelline - Fit Me Foundation
smitabee 11/11/2011 11:40:00 PM
Ok, so this was my first foundation so I'm like "yaa lets get something that will look natural" so I tried out this and oh my friggen god. 5min after i had applyed it AND set it with powder my face looked like a grease ball!!! aaanndd it is e yellowy and it showed up like that on my face! ugh definately not repurchasing! oh and i hate the packaging. I feel like if a foundation comes in a glass bottle it has to have a pump but this just had an opening which is a) unhygienic b) inneficient c) messy d) and not travel friendly

Cleansers -Neutrogena - All-In-One Makeup Removing Cleansing Wipes
smitabee 11/8/2011 6:47:00 PM
I got a HUGE pack of these at costco for only 15 dollars and I gotta say I'm really happy with this product :) It removes ALL of my face makeup and my mascara! The only cons I got to say about it is that it is a little difficult to remove really long wearing eyeliners (like wet n wilds creme eyeliner) but normal eyeliners it should be fine. Also, it leaves an oily residue on your skin which is kinda gross but it doesnt clog ur pores or anything so thats good overall GREAT PRODUCT :)

Makeup Brushes -E.L.F. - Professional Bronzing Brush
smitabee 11/3/2011 12:23:00 AM
This was the first ever makeup brush I purchased and at first I thought it was the greatest thing in the world! When I began venturing out into higher quality brushes, I realized all the flaws in this one: -it shed a little bit -the packaging was bulky -with a few washes it got a little bit scratchy however, i continue to use this as just my everday blush brush and i find that it works fine despite its flaws

Treatments -AcneFree - Acne and Blackhead Terminator
smitabee 10/18/2011 1:09:00 AM
oh my god :O best acne spot treatment EVVAARRR <33333 this stuff is freakin amazing. i never used to break out before so when zits started popping up all over the place i flipped out! I tried looking up natural remedies online for quick spot treatments but nothing helped (well not immediately but in the long term yes). i finally relented and went to my doctor (not dermatologists u guys, legit pediatricians. u dnt have to spend tons of money going to a separate doctor to get acne advice) and he reccomended this. i went out to CVS right after and bought it for only around $7. i wasn't doing anything that day so i put on some on my acne and waited for about an hour. every hour after that, i would wipe off the treatment and re apply it. By the next morning, my zits were still there but definately reduced. I recommend this product to anyone with mild acne with the occasional monster zit XD for more sistic acne i would go with clean and clear's persa gel. I apply a generous amount on my zits everynight before i go to sleep. the only con with this product is that once it's dried on overnight, it can be difficult to remove. I reccomend using a warm, wet cotton ball. :D
