L’Oreal Infallible Never Fail Powder 16HR Natural Buff

Neutrogena Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer
Neutrogena Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer is one of the decent moisturizers I used. It wasn’t the best, and I’ve tried more than a dozen similar products which might work. It did help, and I got my money’s worth. When I saw it, I was finding some products online. It …

Urban Decay Eye Shadow
Urban Decay is perhaps one of the funkiest and grooviest makeup brands out there. My eye shadow palette showcases a wild range of colors labeled with equally wild names (e.g. half-baked, Y2K). This is definitely make-up for those who aren’t afraid to wear make up.
The colors are bright and glittery, …
Lancome Artliner Eyeliner

American Girl Sheer Vanilla Malt Conditioning Lip Shine
I think it would be fair to state that I am somewhat addicted to lip shines/glosses. In any given drawer in my apartment, you will most likely find a tube of something or other brand of cherry/watermelon/apple/peppermint lip gloss.
Well, I figure you just never know when you’re gonna get …
Benefit Fancy Pancy Velvet Eye Shadow

Clinique’s Almost Lipstick
Clinique’s Almost Lipstick is a stain, not a lipstick, which means that it will not fully cover up the natural color of your lips but only add a gentle touch of a different tint to it. The available shades are Honey Black, which seems to be the most popular, …
