M.A.C Select/Sheer Loose Powder in NC30

This is an incredibly fine, feathery light loose powder. It's perfect to set the foundation and to refresh your makeup if you have oily skin. I highly recommend this product.

M.A.C Studio fix Powder Foundation in NC43

I'm not so sure about that one. I find it hard to blend, especially when applied with a sponge. So I use a powder brush instead, its easier and I get a better finish. The coverage is medium and can look cakey. Sephora has a much better powder foundation, I only wish they had all the colors for every skintone.

M.A.C Lipglass in Underage and C-Thru

I love both of these lipglosses, very beautiful light colors that can be matched with your usual lipstick or used to tone down pigmented lips, or just to get a wet look on bare natural lips. What I don't like about M.A.C lipglosses is that they are very, very sticky. The feeling on the lips is not really pleasant. They got the nice M.A.C vanilla scent which I love.

M.A.C Lipstick in Creme D' Nude (Cremesheen)

Creme D'Nude is almost, not to say the same, as Myth lipstick. The only differences is that Creme D' Nude is a cremesheen (glossier) and slightly pinker and Myth is a satin (but looks opaque when applied) and slightly more beige. Looks nice worn alone or with a lipgloss on top.

Nars Lipbalm Sabrina

I have wanted to get this lipbalm for a while, and I finally got it. Well, I am not satisfied with it. I loved the color on the stick and when swatched on my hand, it looked like a very nice pink. When I applied it on my lips, it looked like a bright lilac-mauve! The kind of color that makes me look dead! I would have to wear it with a neutral lipstick or lipgloss, but I won't even bother. I love the packaging tho, it's very chic, and the moisturizing power of the balm is ok. I also like the melon scent very much. Unfortunately, because of the color, I won't purchase again.

L'oreal Professional Liss Extreme (Extremely smoothing) Shampoo

I think this shampoo is only available at salons or at stores like Sally beauty Supply. I got it at the salon, when my hair was extremely dry and unmanageable. I love its consistency, its very gentle on my hair and its smells good. Its a little expensive but I rather like to spend a little more and get a professional quality, cause I have tried drugstore brands such as VO5 and they gave me dandruff. Its worth the price.

Max Factor Eyeliner in "150 Dollar Signs"

I love the color which is like a taupe, I use it on my eyebrows and sometimes as a lipliner. It's an automatic kind of pencil with a sharpener on the opposite end, but it doesn't sharpen very well. It also doesn't last very long.
