I purchased the Nyx Brow Glue because everybody raves about it. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me! My unruly brows were not able to be held down with this gel. I tried a few different ways, applying like soap brows, applying like a normal brow gel. And unfortunately it still wouldn't keep my brow hairs in place! I did like the packaging, and the brush was a great little shape. Plus I did like the formula and it's stickiness, but I get better results from hair gel and will keep using that instead!

I really enjoyed my experience with the GLAM by Manicare Lift & Curl lashes in Tilly! I have worn a fair bit of false lashes in my years of being a makeup girlie, and the Tilly are definitely a type of lash that I like to wear! They are wispy and beautiful, adding length without having that "pow-pow" intense, thick false lash look. They are styled in a way that looks like your lashes but better! The design and the look of the lashes are one thing, but the deciding factor on a lash for me is the band - the comfort, longevity, and ease of application. Thick, ribbony bands are not my friend. A thick ribbony band can be way harder to apply! I often find myself bending the band between my fingers as the glue is drying just to ensure the lash will fit, and these lashes are the biggest culprit for spiky-inner corners. The GLAM by Manicare Lift & Curl lash in Tilly had my favorite kind of band - one that almost doesn't exist. There is enough to put glue on and adhere to the lid, but it's perfectly curved and comfortable. The lightweight design of the lashes meant they were so comfortable to wear. I could barely tell that I was wearing false lashes, so for a beginner these are perfect to get used to the lash feeling! And for beginners, application is so easy! The glue that comes with the lash is quite good quality, too! It sets semi-quickly (quicker than duo) which is good for beginners, and makes the application easier if you're unfarmilliar with lash application! I'm a big fan and will wear them over and over!

I really liked this setting spray! NYX Setting sprays are always nice, I would normally use the 'mattifying' spray as I generally go for a matte finish. I got this setting spray from the BH Rewards room, worth a try! The setting spray comes in the typical nyx spray packaging, it's a little bottle but that's fine as a lot of setting sprays use packaging tricks to make you think there is more! The pump is nice, and the mist is okay. Not the finest of mists, but doesn't usually spray huge globules of water on to your face! As for longevity, I never see an improvement in the wear of my makeup with sprays, so I didn't expect it with this one. It does a very nice job of making your makeup look more like SKIN and less like makeup. Dewy sprays generally do this very well anyway! HOWEVER - it definitely does not make the skin look 'plumped' at all. I wouldn't expect a setting spray to be able to do this, so it's a bit of a weird claim for a setting spray anyway. Overall - I liked the spray! I would get it again.

I remember when I first bogught this "CC+ Cream", and realized what was with all the hype. It's a really high coverage foundation, with a nice colour and gorgeous finish. I don't believe the skincare claims, however. I don't think it's really possible to have actual skincare benefits from any sort of foundation. Having SPF50+ in the product is definitely a bonus, but when having to reapply sunscreen every 4ish hours that can get difficult with a full face of makeup. As for the longevity, this foundation just doesn't make the cut for me. When I'm spending this sort of money, I expect the product to last a little bit longer, and instead of purchasing this I would rather grab double wear, which will last all day on my skin. Really nice, but wouldn't buy it again.

I love the maybelline Face Studio Master Fix Setting Spray! This spray is a great size. I don't know why, but I much prefer a squat shorter spray than a thin longer one! The sprays lid is a good size too, I hate those finnicky little clear lids. The spray itself is a really fine mist, which is so refreshing! It helps set the makeup, without big droplets of setting spray landing on your face. It really helps to make powder look more like 'skin' texture and less like powder. As for longevity, I can't say I notice a difference when I wear it as to when I don't, but I've never had a setting spray really do that for me. MY favorite for such a good price!

I love the Maybelline New York SUperStay 24hour makeup. This liquid foundation is my favorite for day to day wear, with good coverage. This foundation is a good long-lasting foundation that does well for long days even in summer. I prefer a more budget-friendly foundation for every day wear and I feel that this one fits the bill! My only qualm is that it oxidises a little bit as I wear it throughout the day. I have to choose a bit lighter of a shade to counteract this, but it's not a big deal in my mind as it happens with almost every foundation I try from drugstores.

I picked up this mineral powder at a good price on a sale, and I was so excited to find that after trying it I LOVED it. Perfect for a light day of makeup, or a coverup of skin issues, Ive always used mineral powders for light makeup days. I love the other brands I have tried, but they are quite expensive and do run out kind of quickly! The Kind Collection mineral powder gives a lovely finish to the skin. It's like all mineral powders that it can provide excellent coverage, lasts a decent amount, and is excellent at covering blemishes and angry skin. This powder has almost a sheen to it, like a glow, potentailly from pigment in the powder, but I really like that glow. I'm an oily skin girlie and the glow doesn't make me feel or look oily, just helps my skin look alive! I use it at the moment with a tinted sunscreen and some cream blush and it looks gorgeous and natural

I love Esmi Skin Minerals, and the Peppermint Green Oil is a lovely skin oil. I use this oil every single night. I use it as the last step in my skincare routine. It is calming and soothing, but still really hydrating for the skin. IT helps to reduce blemishes and reactivity. The only thing I don't like about this oil is the smell. I'm kind of sensitive to smells, and I really don't like this one! The bottle is gorgeous, they are such heavy duty glass, and there is a small divet in the bottom that allows you to get every last drop. Love it, just wish it smelled better!
