Review of the Hottest Eyes & Face Products Right Now!

Photo: Today's haul! So excited to create some looks and reviews



I just celebrated my 21st birthday and was given Sephora and Mac gift cards as presents (and I splurged a little!!) This review is mostly comprised of products that I have heard great things about and have been dying to get my hands on so I thought I would share with you! I actually have so many to review that I decided to break this into 1 eyes & face post followed by a lips/NYX post.. enjoy!!







NAKED PALETTE #1 by Urban Decay
This little baby is really incredible. The colors are so rich and highly pigmented with amazing color payoff. If you love makeup this is really worth purchasing. I ended up buying the 1st one because it is better for warmer skin tones like mine, whereas the second palette is better suited for fairer skin tones, but the colors aren't too different in either one so anyone can really rock them!

On the other hand, I'm not too crazy about the little extras that the palette includes. It comes with a mini UD eye primer which I found too sticky for my taste, as well as an eyeshadow brush which works fairly well but I prefer my Mac 217 brush.


Too Faced tinted Beauty Balm (BB Cream)
Love it! This is my first BB cream that I have tried and the color matches my skin perfectly! I wear shade Cream Glow. It is really light and natural looking as opposed to foundation which completely washes out your natural blush and skin color. I am diggin' this for summer!




The Porefessional by Benefit
This primer reduces the appearance of pores and oil and smooths out skin's appearance. I had been using Flawless and Poreless by Pixi which is almost the exact same texture and consistency as Porefessional. I still love both and think they work equally well. The only downside is that Porefessional is packaged in a .75 oz tube at a price of $30 which I think is outrageous. Once this is empty I will be purchasing Pixi's product again because it is $30 for a 1.01 oz tube .. more for your money honey!


Too Faced Shadow Insurance
To me, this eye primer outbeats Mac's paint pots and UD's Eyeshadow Primer Potion anyday. I haven't experienced any creasing and the eyeshadow, regardless of how loose and sparkly (Naked shadows!) will stick so well to the eyelid! I can't say enough about this primer..seriously!







Nude on Board bronzer by Mac
Mac currently has a limited edition line of bronzers which I recommend going to check out. While Mac is always on the pricey side, I think that for the size of the compact which includes a mirror, this is actually a pretty good value! $24 I believe .. but go scope it out before they are gone!








Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner by Stila
This one is quick.. outstanding liner! Worth the money.. fantastic staying power.. great black color.. and really fine tip which is excellent for winging out your liner. Get it.







They're Real mascara by Benefit
Fab mascara that lengthens, separates, and adds natural drama. Dislike how pointy the bristles on the wand are though.. ouch man!



Various Mac eyeshadows (from left to right)
& ignore the weird dot on my hand!

Cork: Muted golden-brown
Saddle: Golden orange-brown
Shale: Mauve plum with subtle shimmer
Sable: Golden plum with bronze pearl
Soft Brown: Golden Peachy Brown

I could never give Mac eyeshadows a negative review.. they never disappoint, although I am quite impressed by the Naked & Boudoir Eyes palette.




For insanely cheap highly pigmented shadows, Coastal Scents is on spot! My favorites by them are Sand Dune, HP-ME21, Victorian Pear, HP-ME04, Fresh Tone, Canyon Coral, Rich Walnut, & Amaretto. Their prices are unbeatable at $1.99 per e/s pan!!
