Hey,
I have had this product for awhile because I was trying to figure out if it was just the way I was putting it on, or it was the BB cream. I came to the conclusion that it is the BB cream.
So this BB cream is more like a foundation, it is really thick, actually it is thicker than foundation. So when you put it on it makes you feel like you are wearing three pounds of makeup, when you are not. It also leaves your skin extremely dry, and that is not a nice feeling to have on your face. It is much like the Maybelline Dream liquid mousse foundation, because it goes into your pores, and fine lines making them more noticeable, and in the long run it will make the fine lines turn into full on wrinkles.
In this case I find that the squeeze bottle it comes in is too big, because foundation/BB cream have an expiry date, which is like 6 months to a year, and the expiry date comes way before you have even got halfway to the bottle. Using expired cosmetic products on your face is not good, it irritates the skin, which could cause your skin great discomfort.
This product I find is not a good buy. I give this product a .5/10
If you have tried this product, I would love to hear your opinion about it. So leave me a comment below.

Maybelline New York- Line Stiletto
Hey,
This product is very good, and it only comes in to colours: Blackest black, and brownish black. Both colours are fabulous, but one does stand out more than the other one does. The Brownish Black eyeliner, I have found fades away as the day goes on, while the black eyeliner stays on all day. And for then life of me I cannot figure out why. There is nothing different about the two eyeliners other than the colours. They both have the same ingredients in them. So it is very stranger. But it could just be that I am noticing it on the brown one because it is brown and not black, and brown is a lighter colour than black is.
The felt tip that the eyeliner has is good, not great, and I say that because when you are applying the eyeliner and you put a bit too much pressure on the tip of the eyeliner, you will end up with a very thick line, instead of a thin line. So you have to be careful that when you are using this to only put as much pressure on the tip, as it needs to create the thickness of the line you want. I give this product a 8.5/10.

Sephora Bronzer-matte
Hey, this bronzer is so nice, they come in so many different shades. They basically have one for every skin colour. And yes the lightest shade that they come in, is very good for those people with very pale/fair skin.
The bronzer gives you an excellent finish, and is extremely blend able. The finish that the bronzer gives when it is put over foundation is that of an airbrushed look, and depending where you put the powder, a sun kissed look. It is such a nice product and if you accidentally put to much on, no problem just keep buffing the powder into your skin and the colour will blend away until you have the look that you were trying to go for.
The compact that it comes in is such a nice size, because it can easily fit into your purse, yet is still big enough to have tons of product in it. This product I am going to give a 9/10.

Sephora Eyeshadows
Hey,
I have about five of these eyeshadows, and I really LOVE them. The shades that I have are: sunset at the beach, wedding day, sunday brunch, and I have two of the lucky penny.
I really like the colour pay out of these eyeshadows. They are long-lasting, even if you do not use a eyeshadow primer. Which is good, because then you can save a few bucks! But anyways they are absolutely fabulous. The shimmer eyeshadows have a really nice not to noticeable metallic finish to them which is good if you are going for more of a natural look, but if you are going for a more dramatic look, than you can just apply the eyeshadows wet and get more of a metallic look.
If there were any of the colours that I was disappointed in, it was the lucky penny, I say that because it has such a nice colour in the pan that you get, but when you go to apply the eyeshadow to you lid, you get more of the shimmer than you do of the colour, I wish that it was the other way round. More colour and less shimmer. So for that reason I am giving these eyeshadows an 8.5/10

Maybelline New York- Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation
Hey,
I must say that the one thing that I like about this foundation is the size of the bottle that they give. I swear that that the foundation will go off before you even finish the bottle. But that is only the real thing I liked about the foundation.
It says that it gives you an airbrush finish, but the only thing that it really did for me was clog my pores and go into the fines lines on my face, and I really do not want those to be more noticeable than they already are. The coverage that it gives you is also not very good, I have naturally splotchy cheeks, so they are abnormally red and I want to cover that up some of the time, and this foundation does not do the trick. It barely covers up the splotchiness and redness of my cheeks. To cover them up, I have to layer on this foundation, and that makes me look like a cake face, or someone who has no idea how to do their own makeup. I believe that Maybelline needs to improve this foundation, I will never buy this foundation again. I am going to give this foundation a rating of 1.5/10.

Sephora Pro Stippling Brush #44
Today, I am going to do a review on the Sephora Pro Stippling Brush #44.
I really love this brush, it is really soft, and very gentle on the skin. Unlike some of the other brushes I have owned in my lifetime, this one is definitely one that will always be in my makeup bag. It is really good for when you are putting foundation, or powder on the larger areas of your face like your forehead. It is also good to do the contour of your cheek bones, which may sound weird, but the beauty I find of stippling brushes is that they can do more than one aspect of your makeup. It is a 4 in 1 makeup brush.
The dexterity of the brush is amazing, when you clean the brush, and it is drying I find that it really maintains the shape. But it does take a longer time to dry, than a typical makeup brushes, because of the how many bristles it has and how they are so closely packed together.
The cost of the brush is sorta expensive though, it is costs on average 30-40 dollars canadian, for the brush and the container it comes with. That is expensive when you think that you can get one for about 3 dollars from wal-mart. Though I can definitely say it would be better to spend the money on this brush, because it is better quality, and won't start to lose the bristles like the one from wal-mart does. Now I am not putting down the one from wal-mart, it is still a good buy if you do not want to spend the money on the Sephora one.
I give this product a 8/10.
Here is a picture of the brush.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer
Hey, today I am going review the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer.
This concealer is really good at covering up dark circles, but I would not reccomend you put this on to cover up blemishes, because it has this shimmer to it, so it will make your blemish stand more out, than hide it.
You also do not need to put foundation on with this concealer, I find that it works as a foundation as well. If you want excellent results, I would recommend that you use the rest of the Wake Me Up products because they all have the same formula and were meant for you to use them together.
I know that everyone has their own way to apply their products to their face, but I find that the best ways to apply this concealer to your face are a: Beauty Blender, and a concealer brush. When you use your finger with this product I find that more of the product stays on your finger, than on your face. But if you like to apply this product with your finger than go ahead. Each product works differently with different skin types, so your finger might work better than my finger does. This product I would give a 6.5/10.

Benefit They're Real Mascara
Hey everyone,
So today I am going to review the Benefit They're real Mascara.
I personally really love this mascara, I first got back in June as a birthday present from Sephora. When I ran out I just had to get more of this mascara.
Unlike most mascara it actually does what it says it does. It makes my eyelashes look AMAZING!!!!! They become full and long and everything that my eyelashes do not have without any makeup. Benefit should really call the mascara water-proof because it is. I have taken showers with this product on it does not budge one bit. I have cried with this mascara and I did not have to take out the makeup wipes. Which is a good thing.. Don't you think?? I think the reason it stays has something to do with the type of wax they use in the mascara.. But whatever they put into the mascara, it is working..
The one thing I do not like is how much excess product is on the mascara wand, I have to wipe off my mascara wand before I use it on my lashes. But other than that it is an amazing product.
I give this product a 9.5/10.

St.Ives Review
OK. This product I am doing a review on is not exactly a makeup product. But it is skin care which is really important, because you want your skin to looks its best wither you are wearing makeup or not. I have been using this product called St.Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea Scrub for a couple weeks now. I can safely say that it is amazing. It makes your skin feel as fresh and clean as a bar of soap,(Ignore random comparison). On the bottle it says that it clears up your breakouts and it truly does what it says but you do have to use it every single day to get the best results. Even if you don't use it every day you will see results but they will be nothing compared to the results you see if you use it very single day. Also this product is non-comedogenic which means that it won't go blocking up your pores and thus causing you to break out even more.
I have to say I am not a dermatologist or you ever tells you what is best for your skin. So this is how the said product works on my skin, which means that it could give you either better results or worse results that it did on my own skin.
