I only had one staple item that I was reordering, so I'll get that one out of the way first.
This is my absolute favorite high end mascara. I only use this when I'm going somewhere fun and want really dramatic lashes. I have long lashes, so the biggest thing I look for in my mascaras is volume. I also love how intensely black this mascara is. Also be warned that this mascara starts to clump when it gets old, this is definitely a mascara that you're going to want to follow the 3 month rule with.
My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars. It loses half a star because it flakes a bit.
Concealer is the one thing that I am always on the search for, as I have yet to find my "holy grail" concealer. I have extremely bad under eye circles, and I have since I was little. This is probably the most money I've spent on a concealer before, so I was expecting something...amazing (Amazing Cosmetics...amazing? Get it? I'm so witty ;) ). This concealer works well, but honestly it doesn't work any better than my current favorites (Clinique All About Eyes and Benefit Erase Paste). It does a great job at covering my blemishes, though.
My Rating: 3 out of 5 stars. It works well, but there are some equally amazing concealers out there for half the price.
I've been meaning to try these for forever, and I finally got around to it. I got the color Pomegranate which is very pretty. I love that these actually do give your lips some color, it's not super pigmented but it's not meant to be. It does give me more color than any other tinted lip balm I've ever tried. I was expecting it to be a tad more moisturizing though...I was expecting a little more along the lines of a MAC tinted lip conditioner.
My Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars. It could be a little more moisturizing, but the colors are lovely and the price is very reasonable.
Another thing I've been meaning to try for forever. I absolutely love NARS powder blushes, so I was eager to try the cream formula. This gives my skin a really nice glow, and I love that this particular shade is not quite as shimmery as its powder version. It's very easy to blend as well, and is a perfect summer shade. It's a little pricey, but I can see it lasting for a really long time.
My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. I do find that if I put it on in the morning, it's almost completely gone by the night. Probably stays on for a good 6 hours though.
When I let my hair air dry, it gets pretty wavy on its own but I can't seem to find a good product that will make my waves a little more defined. This honestly didn't do much for my hair. It did give it a bit more texture than normal, but it also made my hair a little "crunchy" in some spots. What really made this a bad product for me was the fact that the pump on mine broke! On about the third use, the pump didn't rise back up...so I can't use this as a spray anymore. I have to squeeze the product into my hand and then put it in my hair like a gel. I do like using it when I put my wavy hair in a ponytail though, because then I don't mind that slight dirty look that it gives.
My Rating: 2 out of 5 stars. For the faulty packaging and the fact that it didn't do that much.
