SEPHORA COLLECTION Professionnel Blending Eye Brush #29 Professionnel Bl...
BEST BLENDING BRUSH EVER. I own all MAC brushes and they live up to the hype, but this brush is far and away the perfect blending brush. I have a quite large lid space and the 217 and 224 were still too big for me. This is my second one, I want to get at least 5 in case they stop making this. If you are having issues with the 217 or 224 being too big for blending the crease, try this. You won't regret it!

NARS Lipstick Roman Holiday
This color is to die for. Perfect pink spring/summer lips. Very close to MAC Satin in Snob (which I also love). I like to apply a nude matte lipstick as a base all over the lips then dab this in the middle and blend it out. I have always been a MAC lipstick girl but after trying this I think Nars might be giving MAC a run for their money. Very happy with this purchase!

amyuhrich This sounds so pretty. Does it last on the lips?
NARS Highlighting/Bronzing Blush Duo Orgasm/ Laguna
Honestly, I don't get the hype. I mean, they are nice as all NARS products are - the formula is good, nice payoff and apply/blend well but I expected so much more. Both of these are a cult favorite, I believe Orgasm is the #1 selling blush ever, but neither of these knocked my socks off. I will use them but probably won't purchase again.

beverlynoelle I noticed that the Sephora brand even has a good dupe for this, so I don't have any reason to buy the real thing!
NARS Lip Gloss Turkish Delight
I seem to love everything Nars these days but this is my all time fave. I could wear it everyday :)
· $24 beauty from Sephora
girlfriday NARSSSSSS!!!!! ALL DAY EVERY DAY! GREAT PURCHASE!
emmaleegia I agree. Everything I have from them is perfection, right down to the packaging. I bought some new shadows today, can't wait to play when my little one is asleep. I got the vanity girl starlet mirror today too. I am in makeup heaven.
erica_lim I need to try this out! Everyone always talks about it. Plus it's kim kardashians go to lip gloss(: Soooo i need to get it, ahh.
AmbitionsDesign Do you find that you have to pump the wand in the tube like 20x to get enough gloss on it for your lips I have bought 2 Nars lipglosses (orgasm n superorgasm) and both were a total pain in the arse to get enough product out.

I am a MAC and Sigma brush girl but this is a size neither of those lines carry. Blends shadows very well, keeps shape after washing. Love this brush!

Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle Night 1 oz
Again, simply amazing. Worth every single penny spent. I noticed immediate results.
· $110 beauty from Sephora
beverlynoelle Ooh, how does this work? Sounds pretty amazing!
Peter Thomas Roth Oil-Free Moisturizer 1.7 oz
I can't say enough great things about PTR. In one week (one week!?!) my skin has done a complete 360. It wasn't bad to begin with, but after years of tanning and occasionally sleeping with my makeup on I was beginning to see some fine lines and uneven skin tone. I bought a clarisonic and after a few weeks wasn't seeing great results so I went to Nordstrom and started chatting with a woman who worked there about it. She told me it really depended on what type of cleanse/tone/moisturizing products I was using. I had been using the Ole line from Sephora but bought a few PTR products to try and have been back once a week for the last three weeks to get more stuff. AMAZING! My skin is glowing, so soft, so smooth. You have to try this line.

NARS Single Eye Shadow Coconut Grove
LOVE. Perfect matte brown shade for the outer V. I am a huge fan of a brown smokey eye and I just discovered the perfect product to complete it. Good formula, love the payoff, very pigmented, blends like a dream. I'm giddy :)

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzing Powder
Pretty matte bronzer. Great for contouring. Smells delish too! Love to pair it with Too Faced Candlelight luminizing/highlighting powder, makes a beautiful combo.
· $28 beauty from Sephora
beverlynoelle Yum! Does it actually smell like chocolate?
riddlefish I love it when makeup and stuff smells good! I feel like a lot of companies forget about the smell factor. What does it smell like? (I hope @beverlynoelle 's guess is right.) :D
emmaleegia It does :) A light chocolate scent. Pretty color too. I love me some matte bronzer :)
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Transforming Potion 0.4 oz
Love this! Double ended to create a thin liner or use the larger end to use over your lid. I clean off the brush with a makeup wipe before putting it back inside the tube so it doesn't make the gel inside a muddy colored mess. A good buy for a makeup junkie :)
· $18 beauty from Sephora
AmbitionsDesign So is this a primer
MakeupJunkie9 I love this stuff too! Wore it today!
beverlynoelle Does it work well for creating eyeliner? I hear that using it to turn your shadow to liner makes it so your "liner" doesn't last very long, but then some people love it. Hrmm...
Too Faced Absolutely Invisible Candlelight Powder Sheer Gold
Great product! Gives a beautiful golden glow. The powder is very smooth with tiny golden flecks. I have quite a few luminzing/highlighter products in my kit but this is by far my favorite.

riddlefish Fun! Are the gold flecks more glisten-y, or the bigger, glittery type?
AmbitionsDesign They are so micro you have to tilt the compact to see the glitters. So tiny. This stuff is a must have for me. Amazing soft sheer white gold color and quality is spot on. Blendable and buildable. Beyond pretty.
emmaleegia Ahhh, isn't it to die for?! Very micro, so beautiful. It is a must have in my kit.
Laura Mercier Lip Balm 0.12 oz
After a long search for the perfect lip balm, I think I have found a winner! My lips feel great when I use this. Comes in lip stick looking form but goes on clear. I use it under my lip color in the morning and throughout the day. I also use it before bed and after exfoliating with the Kiss Me Goodnight lip scrub by Philosophy. Love it!
· $20 beauty from Sephora
riddlefish Ooo, very nice! What lip color do you use?
emmaleegia I change it up, my all time fave though is MAC Myth (satin nude color) topped with Nars Striptease gloss.
Sultra The Bombshell 1"
Can not wait to try this tomorrow! I would tonight but I already used the flat iron this AM so the curl won't take as well. I have read great reviews and am excited to share mine with you all as well :)

***TO DIE FOR! LOVE this!! Gives the perfect Hollywood sultry curls! It can be a little tricky to get the hang of using and the glove isn't as heat proof as I would like but all in all, this is amazing. I have extensions and curl my hair almost everyday but it hasn't looked this great ever. I give this an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10 ;)

MAKE UP FOR EVER Lab Shine Lip Gloss Star Collection S2
Love the formula! Not too sticky but as long lasting as MAC glosses. A little pricey compared to MAC (there is less in this tube) but worth it. The S2 is a nude color with peachy undertones. Love it!

Cover FX Natural FX Water Based Foundation SPF 15 E40 Peach Taupe
I want to like this, I was so excited to buy it but after 2 days of using it I'm not a huge fan. I like a full coverage, matte, almost airbrush like finish. I will stick with my MUP Mat Velvet +.

Perfekt Skin Perfection Gel Radiant
Hate this. Wasn't at all what I expected. Didn't like the consistency, the way it made my skin look/feel or the cost (almost $60).

beverlynoelle What did you expect? I've never even heard of this product but $60 is pretty high if it is not good!
emmaleegia I was looking for more of a mattifying pore minimizer to use after my moisturizer, before my foundation. I have Benefit The Porefessional and Dr. Brandt Pores No More right now so I'll use these up before looking for something else.
Peter Thomas Roth Beauty in a Box: Eyes to Die For Kit ($202 value) Beau...
Excited to try this! I had lash extensions on for a few months and feel so naked looking without them on now. I heard the PTR growth serum was the best out there. I would much rather try it in this kit with other popular products from the line than pay double the cost of this kit for a tube. I will edit this after a few weeks to let everyone know how I like it. Anyone else try this yet?! Lmk :)

SEPHORA COLLECTION Beauty In A Box Summer Goddess Palette ($50 Value) Su...
Got this on clearance for around $8. I'm really not impressed. The shadows are not really pigmented as much as I had hoped, the payoff isn't great even with primer. The Sephora liner that comes in it is nice though. Goes on really smooth and has great color. I never would have paid $36 for this, that is for darn sure :)
· $36 beauty from Sephora
beverlynoelle Only $8? Hopefully the liner was at least worth that :)
productjoy at least the eyeliner is nice =)
Hello Kitty Hello Kitty Fragrance 1.7 oz Eau de Parfum Spray
Much to my surprise, I really like this scent. When I first saw it I thought it would be too sticky sweet smelling. Instead it is a fruity/floral mix with a touch of vanilla and musk. And the bottle is ADORABLE!!

amyuhrich I loved this one when I tested it...totally want it now.
AmbitionsDesign Now I have to try this based on your scent description! I love anything warm and I like the finishing has those notes. Thanks!
MAKE UP FOR EVER Rouge Artist Intense 45
Beautiful cool red, almost a purple undertone. Has a slight sheen to it. Great formula. As long as I wear red I will buy this color. Amazing! I plan to wear the Lancome red all over with this smudged in the center for a little dimension and shine.

beverlynoelle What red of Lancome's do you like? I couldn't find a true red from them, even in their new Reds collection!
emmaleegia I got the Red Haute. I needed a cooler red and that was perfect. They didn't have nearly as many shade choices as MUP though. MAC has a few nice ones too, the MAC red or Ruby Foo (or Woo). Hth!!
