Clean and Clear Morning Burst Shine Control Facial Cleanser

I love all of the Clean and Clear Morning Burst products, but this one just wasn't my favorite. I only wanted a facial cleanser, but every where I looked all I found was the Shine Control one, so maybe that's why the results weren't great for me. This product has actually been drying out my skin. Only buy this if you have oily skin, and make sure you always buy products that are right for you're skin type.

Amuse Big Pearl Eyeshadow

Hey guys! So I just bought this makeup palette, and it's pretty sweet. The colors are bright and bold, and I abdolutely love how there shimmery... but at the same time not shimmery. I know it makes no sense, but there's no glitter on it, but when you put it on you're eyes, there's this twinkle in the color -- it's amazing. Love it.

Makeup Tutorial: Work That Blue!

Blue is such a gorgeous color, but it's REALLY intense, and sometimes hard to rock. Sometimes, you could walk outside in your blue eyeshadow thinking you look hot, when really you look like a fool (no offense.) This video will show you how to work that blue! It's by my friend BubblyYuki, and she has great tutorials for everyone and everywhere. She'll be in quite a few of the makeup tutorials.

EOS Organic Lip Balm

Oh. My. Gawsh. LUV THIS LIP BALM. Seriously, it's like, the best thing that's ever happened to me (sort of). First of all, it smells friggin FANTASTIC. Two, it moisturizes my lips and makes them suuuuper soft. Three, there in the shape of an egg! And it's designed so that it fits perfectly into your hand. And four, I'm never going to lose it. Like, a Burt's Bees lip balm is just a plain stick, pretty small, easy to drop or lose somewhere right? But why would you want to lose a delicious smelling egg shaped thing that's barely heavy and not to small and not to big? Yah. You wouldn't. So buy this product! PLEASE!

Coastal Scents 88 Color Makeup Palette

At first, I was afraid to buy this product; I thought the quality would be bad because of it's low price. But turns out, I was totally wrong! It's light and portable, and the pigmentation is great! The only problem is, some of the colors are repeats, and it doesn't come with a black eyeshadow color (which is totally essential for makeup!!!) When I received it, it was perfectly wrapped in bubble wrap to ensure that it would not be damaged. I would highly recommend this pallet to anyone!

CoverGirl Proffesional Super Thick Lash Mascara

This product is definitely something I'm never buying again, and I hope you guys don't either. It makes my lashes clump, and my lashes just looked the same after I'd applied it! I don't know, maybe I just had a bad tube, but I still think this product kind of sucks.  :(

Buy it here  (DONT BUY IT! lol)

CoverGirl Professional Loose Powder

I definitely recommend this to everyone. It's a great setting powder but would also be good on it's own. It helps control oil and keeps you looking fresh. The smell is a bit strong, but it doesn't really smell once it's on your face.

Beauty Blender Ultimate Makeup Sponge

On a scale of 1-10, I'd rate this product a 6.5. Even though it helps you achieve a natural, dewy look, it's a little pricey, and I feel like it absorbs too much of the actual product. I'd put my foundation on it, and start to put it on my face, but then realize that there's barely any left on the sponge. I try to squeeze it out, but that doesn't work. And then when I finish, I have to clean it off, with water and I see all the foundation dripping into the sink. It's SUPER annoying and a total waste of foundation. But there is another pro with this product though, if you know you're never going to use it again, you can ship it back to the company and they'll recycle it, so it's eco-friendly. Oh yah, another con -- you have to buy the special cleaning soap for it, which is super expensive. Other soaps could ruin the softness of the sponge. Personally, I don't think I'm ever going to use this product again....

CoverGirl TruBlend Mineral Pressed Powder Foundation

I absolutely love this product. There's a variety of colors so you can find the perfect match, it's super cheap, and it gives you more of a natural coverage, whereas the CoverGirl liquid foundation can sometimes make you look made-up. The thing with is that since it's a pressed powder foundation it dries matte, so you don't need liquid foundation or powder. It's gives you great coverage, and it saves you money. I guess the only bad thing about this product is that if you don't wear a face primer, it rubs of pretty easily. Otherwise, great product.
