These lip pencil don't feel glossy or look a tad thicker like a lip gloss. The texture is nice and creamy. It is hydrating, shiny and the color pay off is very nice. I love the way it glides on smoothly. The amount of pigmentation from these lip pencil are intense. I totally recommend these lippies! <3 It is easy to use and affordable.

All are matte finishes except I Love NY. As you can see from my swatches above. I Love NY has very light pigmentation and fall outs. I had to swatch it 3 time to get the right amount. =_='' 

On my eye: Broadway Look and Luxury Reborn

 

These eyeshadows have great pigmentation. It came on stronger then a few NYC shadows that I have. I had no problem with all except one, I Love NY. o.o''  I try working with I love NY, Who's Who? and Broadway Look but it didn't work so well, it was hard trying to get the right amount on my eyes (I Love NY). So, I went with Broadway Look and Luxury Reborn. It come on pretty nice. Blending them was easy. I'm actually happy that I got these. These are decent eyeshadows, good quality and fair price.

Aveeno - Ultra Calming Daily Moisturizer Review

Aveeno (Active Naturals) - Ultra Calming Daily Moisturizer

Walmart $7.00
This is my first bad experience with a moisturizer.

Surprisingly this didn't work for me, this moisturizer made my face very oily. My skin is too sensitive, it feels heavy after the oil and the lotion accumulate on my face. It made my face greasy and it makes my eyes water when I put it too close, it was really irritating around my eyes and both side of my cheeks. I had to wash it off right away. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who have sensitive skin, this product may cause some serious irritation. ( v_v ) !

L'oreal - Magic Smooth Souffle Foundation

 L'oreal - Magic Smooth Souffle Foundation

Rite Aid - $15.00

People been raving good and bad about this foundation. A new whipped foundation from L’Oreal. Makes me curious, I really wanted to try this. I got this at Rite Aid last week.

 packaging:

This is my skin match. 510 Light Ivory. The foundation is seal tight with a burgundy twist top in a clear jar.

It’s a whipped souffle like foundation much like Maybelle's dream mousse.

 

swatches:

I have combination skin and I find that this works well for me. When I put it on, my skin looks amazing and feels like silk. The texture is smooth, creamy and has a nice matte finish. I got the coverage I wanted. It blends in very naturally and doesn't give me that cakey face. I didn't need to apply alot of this foundation, so I think this would last me 1 to 2 months or more. I would definitely buy this again. I really like this foundation. It is pricey but with coupons and sales it is affordable. ^_^

What works for me may not work for you (or vice versa).
