Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner

The Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil, where do I begin? I have to say, I like this product, but I'm not crazy about it. I bought the black one (zero) and have been using it for the past few days; I bought it after hearing how amazing it was, so I thought "hey, this must be one heck of an eyeliner." It is very creamy and goes on very smoothly. It goes on very bold, so you don't have to keep applying more and it's very easy to smudge. I found within a few hours it began to smudge a little underneath my eyes and it began to somewhat fade. I paid $16 for it at Ulta, I will most likely keep using it because I don't want to waste the liner and my money, but I say I would give this product a 7 out of 10. I don't hate the product, and I might buy it again, I just haven't made up my mind yet. I'm probably going to give it a few more weeks and come back with my final decision and let you know how I feel then, so there will be a continuation soon.

Too Faced Shadow Insurance



This product is amazing!!! I love this base. There has always been the question "What base should I use?" My preference is the Too Faced Shawdow Insurance, although I haven't tried any others, alot of people say the Urban Decay Primer Potion is good, so you could give that a try. There is a video on youtube comparing TFSI and UDPP, and I'll post a link to that at the end of this review. Anyways, the color is a very nude color that just blends right into your skin. It even hides the veins on your eye lids You only need a little amount for each eye, so that's a penny saver!!! It's very creamy, and it really does it's job. The only thing I don't love is it makes your shadows you apply somewhat harder to blend, because it just grabs the color and wants to hold it in one place. Other than that it's the perfect base for your eyes. You can purchase this online at http://www.toofaced.com/ or http://www.sephora.com/ and it cost about $17. Like I said it's a great product and I love it. Hope you enjoy =]

Quick Tip:

Got a bump you're trying to hide, and don't want to have to check every five minutes to make sure it's not visible? Apply a little Too Faced Shadow Insurance on the problem area and then apply your concealer. Now you will have a longer lasting zit free day =]

Oh and here is the link to the comparison of TFSI and UDPP:

MUFE 5 Camoflouge Cream Palette



I absolutely love this palette. This is the Make Up For Ever 5 camoflouge cream paltette in number 1 (the one shown above.) I bought mine a couple of months ago after seeing the Makeup Geek use it and I'm so glad I purchased it. It has 5 concealers, 3 are colors that compliment your skintone, and the other 2 are to hide dark circles(the orange) and redness(the green). They have five different palettes depending on your skin tones. Palette number 1 is for light to fair skintones. Palette number 2 is also for somewhat fair to tan skintones. Palette number 3 is for Medium to Dark skintones. Palette number 4 is for dark skintones. And palette number 5 is for professional makeup artists (I haven't seenthis one on the Sephora site). You can buy these at Sephora for $36, Sephora is the only place I know of that you can purchase this product. The concealers are all very creamy and easy to blend out. This product has worked wonders for me, I have dark circles and lots of redness and the ocassional bump, but with this palette none of these problems are noticable. I am very pleased with the pay-off with this palette and I will purchase it again. If you have any questions about this palette or any other things you can email me at: whitney.sherelle@yahoo.com

Mac Studio Moisture Cream

I have a new love!!! I have extremely dry skin and have never found a moisturizer that is up to my standards...until now. I purchased the Mac Studio Moisture Cream about 3-4 months ago and love it. It lasts a long time, mine has lasted 3-4 months and I still have ALOT left, even after using it everyday, twice a day. It is very creamy and smells amazing. I don't know how I lived so long without this moisturizer. I paid about $30 at my local MAC counter, and in my personal opinion it's been worth every penny. If you have extremely dry skin then you should definately give this moisturizer a try. I hope this helps, and I will be back soon with more reviews.
