This is not a miracle product. It will not make your pimple disappear. As a concealer it is very sheer, so if you require a thick coverage you should probably stick to Mac Studiofinish. I don't need to pile on a ton of concealer most days so I'm safe with this. I can put this on pimples and it will not aggravate them. This will dry the pimple out slowly. It won't dry out over night, so don't buy this thinking it's the cure all. The coverage it sufficient for the kind of blemishes I get coverage wise and helps me dry them out. Also it doesn't break me out, like clogging your pores will do with those thick opaque concealers.
Lumene Blueberry Curl Mascara
I have reviewed this previously so I won't write you a book. I like that this doesn't bleed during the day, even with wind and rain. I also like taking it off at the end of the day. It is easy to remove with wipes or makeup remover. My lashes also stay on my eyes, instead of coming off along with the mascara. I like to think that it's good for my lashes (like it claims to be).
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Light
Mineral makeup is good for your skin. Now whether MACs are the best is debatable. I like that this blends into my skin really nicely and doesn't cause break outs. The coverage can be as heavy as your hand would like to put it on. I don't get foundation all over my hands. I just put my concealer on and then, depending on how self conscious I'm feeling that day, I can just brush this on to set and even my skin tone. I'm not claiming perfect skin here, I have my days I need a ton of coverage but if I can get away with it I would prefer not to do things I know will upset my skin.
MAC Paint Point in Barestudy
This is a long time favorite of mine. I like the it dries to a powder like consistency on your eye and doesn't crease. I also like that can either swipe a light coat on my eye or a heavy coating depending on whether I'm using it as a primer or actual shadow. This looks great on it's own for a bright eye when you haven't had enough sleep (which is me on a regular basis).
Urban Decay Naked Palette
I just really love this palette. I really hope I never run out of any of it. You can really just put any colors together you happen to like that day and they will match well. This makes makeup so simple to do on a daily basis or going out at night. I am such a fan of neutrals and these are just great quality awesome neutral colors.
ELF Eyebrow Kit in light
I have quite dark hair naturally so I'm not sure why I chose light but ultimately I'm so glad I did. If I had chosen any darker it would not work with my brows, even as it is I have to use a very light hand to apply this or I get weird comments from people (mainly my mother). Both the wax and powder are easy to use with an angled brush and apply really well. It's so easy to travel with because it's small and you don't have to cart around pencils and powders.
ELF Gel Eyeliner in Midnight
I love the look of winged eyeliner but I find black to be a little too dramatic for me in the day. I think midnight is a great alternative because it's a little softer. I like the ELF gel liners because they keep forever (I bought mine so long ago and it still hasn't dried out). They also are incredibly smooth and creamy which make them nice to apply. Also I find gel much more forgiving then liquid, even in the felt tip pen applicators. If you have problems winging (like I do) try gel with an angled brush.
Loreal HIP Jelly Balm (Succulent and Plush)
You guys know how I feel about these. Honestly, I would never go back to other chapstick/lip balm type things. I thing these have been discontinued so every time I see them, I just stock pile. They are so moisturizing and the smell wonderful. I love the light colors, they just give you enough color. Succulent tends to match the color of my lips while Plush gives me just a cute pop of pink.
Hanae Mori Butterfly perfume (the blue box)
I just love this perfume. I'm awful at describing scents so I won't. But this is nice and unique. I don't want to smell like everyone else and I like a perfume that smells a little older but not too much. I just think this is right for a 23 year old.
Lush Herbalism Cleanser
Herbalism is for oily skin (which mine is basically an oil slick). I really like the smooth matte finish it leaves. The only problem I have is that it only takes my skin about 15 minutes before it's quite oily again. The whole oil control thing is really not there. This is lightly exfoliating too which is nice. I'm not a huge fan of harsh exfoliators being that my skin tends to not need loads of exfoliation like dry skin.
Biore 4 in 1 Cleanser
Tried and true cleanser. I'm going to try a new one because this is a USA only product but this is so perfect for me. I'm really lazy and a 4 in 1 means I don't have to have an extra toner (although I know I should and I do). This keeps my skin clear (although my skin though very oily is not acne prone so, keep that in mind).
