Foundations -Make Up For Ever - HD High Definition Foundation

I'm kind of on the fence with this foundation. There are good things about it, like the fact that it's light weight. However, I find that this foundation gives only sheer coverage and that would explain the light weight feeling. I keep going back and forth between this and MAC studio fix fluid. The only reason I stopped using MAC was because I could never find the right shade for me. But with MUFE I found the perfect shade. I just wish it gave more coverage. I actually have clear skin, but there are those occasional breakouts and I find this foundation doesn't cut it. But if you are looking for sheer coverage, then yes this is a terrific foundation. If you want something with even medium coverage, look elsewhere!

Lip Treatments -Nivea - Lip Care - Strawberry

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!! This little chapstick has replaced my lipstick and my previous lip balm. The color is absolutely amazing, it's exactly what I've been looking for all these years!! It gives your lips a nice subtle reddish-pink tint however it's not as opaque as lip stick. It also gives it shine and it's moisturizing. I'd say this is a 3-1 because it pretty much gives you the color of lipstick, the shine of lipgloss and the moisture of a chapstick, it's honestly perfect! And hard to believe it's for $2.99 ohhh yeahhh!! This is going to be my HG lip product, I can tell you that!

Eyes -Quo - Liquid Liner

I don't like this eyeliner for a few reasons. The first being that it comes off way to easily. As soon as my eyes tear up even slightly or I rub my eyelid, this eyeliner smears off and gets all over the place. I understand it's not waterproof, and I don't need it to be but my other eyeliners don't smear off this easily. It should have some staying power. Which leads me to my next point which several other MUA users have commented on. It does seem to migrate to the inner corner of my eyes and does in fact sting occasionally, which tells me that it's getting inside my eyes instead of staying on the outside. The third problem is that the felt tip gets soft and spongey after awhile that it makes application very difficult without the support of a sturdy, firm tip. Also, I usually wear black eyeliner, but this one looks so harsh on my eyes. Does not look as natural as I would I would like it to be. I guess I'm back to Revlon until I find something better. Overall, I would not recommend this eyeliner, although I do like the regular Quo eyeliner, but I'd skip the liquid liner.

Blush -NARS - Deep Throat

Gotta admit I gave into the hype with this Nars blush. I just heard amazing things about it, especially "orgasm" but after looking at the 2, i decided "deep throat" was a better color for me.. who comes up with these names?! lol Anyways I kind of regret buying it. Prior to this I was using the Revlon powder blush, but I figured with the raving reviews, and $$$ price tag, maybe this would be an amazing blush. Turns out.. Not really. It does the same thing my Revlon blush did, except it costs 3X as much. I know brand name cosmetics are amazing for some things, like foundation, but for blush it really isn't. I'm going to finish using this, but after that - no more. Going back to Revlon.
