Merle Norman

My mom and I have been buying this eyeliner for a while now. The black color is great. It lasts a long time and I have not experienced smudging and this is coming from a person with hooded eyes. (Thanks, genetics!) It's not cheap but it lasts a while. I wish they kept the glass packaging because that's how it was when we bought it long ago. (it's been plastic for over 10 years now) I see people have been pressured to buy the eye liner brush but I just use it with an angled eye liner brush, it works just as well.

this stuff is amazing, the coverage is not extreme but it transforms and beautifies the face in a very natural and glowing way if used with a brush

This is absolutely the best powder foundation I have ever used. I use it with tinted moisturizer as a foundation and lightly on top of my Merle Norman Lasting Foundation to set it and it gives a flawless look. It does not settle in my pores or streak. It's a good even med-full foundation. I use it with a powder puff instead of the sponge and it does great.

This is my holy grail foundation! I've always used Merle Norman foundation, but I found this about 2 years ago and I haven't found anything that compares. This is the only matte foundation I've found that doesn't accentuate every single tiny bump on my face. It smooths right over it and dries down matte relatively quickly. I wear this anywhere from 5 to 12 hours normally it truly stays on all day. The only thing is the price. I pay $30 for this foundation when I'm in my home town and when I was off at school and ran out, I went to the Merle Norman in that town. They charged me $47. So definitely be careful with the price. It's $30 good but there are very few foundations worth $47.

This lipstick feels like a glossy, but pigmented, balm on my lips. It's very hydrating and doesn't feel heavy/goopy. Because of its light weight, you can expect color, but not complete opaqueness. The black tube packaging feels heavier and more substantial than say Bobbi Brown, LM, and Chanel. I have this in the shade Blackberry, which looks like a berry rose on my lips.

Edit: After 2 weeks of every day use, my lips became very dry. When I stopped using it,the dryness went away. Disappointed because I love the color.
