Neutrogena Hydrating Lotion Eye Maker Remover


Neutrogena Hydrating Lotion Eye Maker Remover ($10)
 
I ran out of my favorite eye make up remover from Lancome so I wanted to try out a drug store make up remover.  This product claims to hydrate while it gently removes makeup as well as waterproof mascara.  If I was to rate this product on a scale from 1-10, I will give this product a 7.  It does a good job on hydrating my eye area and removing eyeshadow.  However, I have to do multiple wipes to remove eyeliner and mascara.  I wear waterproof mascara everyday and it does not meet my expectation of removing my mascara. I was a little disappointed because I have to wipe my eyes a few times to get the mascara off.

Pros: Hydrating, unscented, no residue, and does not sting my eyes.
Cons: Does not do a good job on removing waterproof mascara.

Covergirl Jumbo Gloss Balm


Covergirl Jumbo Gloss Balm ($7)

From Left to Right: Coral Twist, Hot Pink Twist, Rose Twist. I am wearing Hot Pink Twist.

-I didn't expect these jumbo gloss balm to have so much color pay off.  It is not opaque as lipsticks, but it is buildable to achieve a medium coverage. The finish is not too shiny, but it gives me the perfect finish between a cream and shine finish.  I love how creamy and easy these gloss balm applies on.  It does not dry out my lip, but it is rather moisturizing.  I highly recommend these gloss balm if you are looking for a creamy gloss balm for everyday wear. 
-I just want to note that these gloss balm are not long wearing because it is just a gloss balm.  These are different from the Revlon Color Stay Kissable Balm Stain.


Sigma Kabuki Kit


Sigma Kabuki Kit ($56)

Brushes: F80, F82, F84, F86

I was so excited to see these brushes came in the mail. I haven't test these brushes yet, but I will.

-First impression: The quality is amazing, the bristles are super soft, bristles are dense, and the brushes are very easy to store because of its size.

Covergirl 3in1 Foundation


Covergirl Outlast 3in1 Foundation in Nude Beige

Pros: It provides great coverage, it last long, easy to blend, SPF included, and non-cakey.
Cons: It is a bit pricey for a drugstore product and if you have dry spots, it will emphasize your dry spots.

There are a lot of good reviews on this foundation and it is good.  I love how smooth this foundation applies on.  It gives me great coverage that last all day long.  I went to the gym with this foundation on and after 2 hours of sweating, my makeup didn't budge.  My face still look great and flawless.  However, on days where my face is a little bit drier, this foundation will emphasize dry areas.  Other than that, I like this foundation a lot.  I ended up buying another shade of this foundation (in medium beige) for the summer. 

Anne Michelle Nude Ankle Strap



Anne Michelle Nude Ankle Strap in 7 ($39)

This heel is beautiful and chic.  I am thankful that this heel is true to size.  I read reviews on this heel and some said it is true to size and some said it is too big or too small.  I was scared, but I went with my guts.  I bought this heel in size 7 and it fit perfectly.  This heel is 4 inch high with no platform.  I haven't worn this heel out yet, so I can't say whether this heel is comfy or not.  I will do an update review once I get a chance to wear this heel out.  Any ladies who have this heel, feel free to comment below.

ZARA black ankle strap



Zara Black Ankle Strap in 7.5 ($80)

I love my new Zara heel.  This is probably the most expensive heel that I own.  I usually am skeptical about spending a lot on just one heel, but I am stoke that my fiance bought my this heel for my graduation.  Yes, I am graduation in May.  Yayyy! Class of 2013!  Well anyways, this heel is so gorgeous.  I instantly fell in love when I put this heel on.  It is so feminine and sexy that no one can go wrong with this heel.  Does anyone own this same pair?  If so, comment below on how you like it or don't like it.
