MAC Cremesheen Glass


MAC Cremesheen Glass is a lipgloss I will definitely buy again from MAC. A lot of MAC lipgloss' can be pretty sticky, this one is sticky but not like a dazzleglass or a lustreglass. I am really really happy with this purchase. I bought in shade Fashion Scoop, it looks gorgeous on it's own, it is very similar to NARS Turkish Delight except Fashion scoop is a little lighter. This is one of the BEST lipgloss' I have ever bought from MAC! I am so happy with this product, it is one of my products that I use on a daily basis. I will definitely recommend this product to everyone!!!

NARS Duo Concealer


NARS Duo Concealer is a pretty good concealer, I thought more of this product. It wasn't very creamy, as some of the other concealers I have tried. It does do pretty well with coverage, I felt the need to do a couple layers of this concealer. I have shade Vanilla/Honey, the honey is absolutely perfect for under my eye. I usually put a lighter concealer under my eye but it makes me look weird. So I think that is really great. I really think this duo concealer is great, cause your skin isn't all one colour. I don't think I would buy this again, I had really high hopes for this concealer and I was not at all what I expected.

MAC Eye Pencil vs. Eye Kohl. Which is better?





A lot of people just think an eyeliner is an eyeliner, which is true but there are different textures. An eye kohl is more creamier and tends to last all day, while an eye pencil is a little bit harder to put on and won't last as long as a kohl. They are both great! If you are using an eyeliner to line your waterline i would definitely go with an eye kohl, just because they go on a lot smoother and if you have sensitive waterlines which most people do, it can hurt the waterline which can be uncomfortable. I have Ebony eye pencil, which is a dark black and then I have Fascinating eye kohl, which is a matte white. MAC eye kohl's have more colour variety while MAC eye pencil only has 3 colours to choose from. I would say the MAC eye kohl's are better for colour variety and for texture, because you don't want to be jamming the eye pencil onto your waterline you want it to go on smoother, so for that I would say MAC eye kohl's are better.

Loreal Blackened Smokes Eye Shadow Quad



Loreal Blackened Smokes Eye Shadow Quad is a dark smokey eye quad. The main colour is silver, to add the shine and the black for the liner. This I wouldn't wear out in the day time, I would wear it more at night cause it would just look freaky in the day. The shadows are VERY pigmented, and I always love these drugstore quads because they taught me how to apply eye shadows, the directions on the back are very convenient. It comes with the 2 drugstore applicators, which don't use by the way they aren't very sanitary. This quad was only $6.99, that is so inexpensive! It is great for travelling, cause you don't want to carry like 4000 eye shadows, you wanna pack light. Loreal has many other selections of quads, I definitely recommend you guys go check them out!

Maybelline Enchanted Forest Eye Shadow Quad



Maybelline Enchanted Forest Eye Shadow Quad is like it sounds, "enchanted forest", it reminds me of a trail or the woods, something very plain with a lot of trees. It looks amazing on eyes, and all the colours are so shimmery which makes the look. I truly adore Maybelline quads, I always choose the shimmery ones just because those are the ones that look best on me. This quad is pretty dark, so I do tend to blend it to make it look lighter, but you can still notice it looks very naturey, if that's a word. I love all drugstore quads, my favourite ones are Revlon, Loreal, Maybelline, and Covergirl. They just have the best colours, and a HUGE variety. Enchanted Forest is a quad, you can use on any skin tone which I love for when I do people's makeup. I think all drugstore quads are amazing.

Britney Spears Curious Fragrance


Britney Spears Curious Fragrance is so delicous. It smells of fresh fruit, freshly washed fruit, with a little bit of exotic smell to it as well. I bought a 30mL bottle for $19.99, which I thought was pretty good. Curious was realized in 2004, and I'm just getting around to it now to smell it and buy it. I'm so glad I did, they scent isn't exactly for everyone, some people like a more light scent, or like a scent similar to cologne, everyone likes different scents. I also know some people won't buy this perfume because it is made by Britney Spears, which is silly because it doesn't have to be about her it's about the fragrance. Getting back to the perfume, it is an eau de parfum which means it will last longer then eau de tiolette, some people say the scent is gone quickly but for me it lasted all day which is exactly what i needed. Curious comes in a 50mL and a 100mL, and there is smaller sizes for giftsets. The bottle has two plastic dangling hearts, unfortunately I don't have the two dangling hearts because they fell off. They also have other items that isn't exactly a perfume but from the perfume line curious: Body Souffle, Shower Gel, Body Polish, Body Shimmer, Perfumed Shimmer Stick, Fragrance Roller Ball and Lip Gloss Duo. I love this perfume, I think it smells delicious! I can't say go out and buy it, because like I said everyone has different tastes in smell, but I do think everyone should at least go out and smell it just to see!

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils (Lavender, Iced Mocha, Milk, and Oyster)



NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils are fantastic! They are used on there own, bases,primers, and also a highlight for the eyes depending on which colour you get. These everyone LOVES them! They are SO inexpensive, it's CRAZY! For one jumbo eye pencil it is $4.99. I use them as a base and a highlight. The colours I have right now are Lavender, Iced Mocha, Milk, and Oyster. They are all so amazing! I use milk as a highlight, when i say highlight i mean applying it to the inner corner of my eye to make my eyes look wider. I use every single colour, there isn't one colour that gets left behind, and no I do not mean i use all colours at once. I try to use at least one colour everyday because I'm addicted to them! I love how they are only $4.99, it's super duper inexpensive and it's totally worth it. I can guarantee you. I never used to see what the big deal was about the NYX Jumbo Pencils, but now I do they are like a creamy soft shadow, so basically a cream eye shadow. Lavender: A light/soft metallic purple. Iced Mocha: A Metallic brown, with a little bit of gold in it. Milk: A plain white. Oyster: A pink/purple metallic. As you can see "metallic" was a very common word, I don't know if it was the right word, but they do have a shimmery/metallic finish to it, so I guess it is metallic. I have some more coming in the mail, when I get those in I will post pictures! Definitely go out and buy these, if you haven't already!

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish


MAC Mineralize Skinfinish, not only are they beautiful they are absolutely AMAZING! The shade I have is Petticoat from MAC's In The Groove collection, unfortunately it is limited edition so you can check online for it or at your mac counter, if they don't have it. I'm sorry, they may bring it back in another collection later on. It seemed to be, that In the Groove collection had a lot of mineralize items, which I loved! My favourite item? Mineralize Skinfinsih in Petticoat. I use it on my eyes just cause it's so gorgeous and I use it either for a blush or highlight. It is a soft pink, mixed with gold and a little bit of hot pink. (you'll notice in the picture). I truly adore Petticoat, it adds some shimmer to cheeks or anywhere you want it. There isn't much to say about this product other than it's absolutely AMAZING! so if you can find it, BUY IT! You will NOT regret it! I promise.
