Japonesque Brush Set Touch up Tube

These brushes are very nice and soft. There's a foundation brush, lip brush, two eye brushes, and a blush/powder brush. I think set is a good size. Good to bring if traveling. I have the touch up tube in pink. The other colors it comes in is red, silver, and black. I use the two eye brushes the most.

UNII Palette

The UNII palette is a palette that you can depot eye shadows or blush. There are other things of course you can put in. You choose what you put in there. You also can order it from Imomoko. I order mine from Imomoko because there was a deal for free shipping. I got Lavender. There also are the colors honeysuckle, turquoise, pear, crystal, and midnight. The eye shadows I put in mine were from Ulta. I was able to fit 20 eye shadows. You can also put a small brush or brushes. I tried to see if eyeliner would fit it didn't. I really like this because you can carry your favorite eye shadows.

Easy Make up Remover

If you forget to buy make up remover, or don't want to buy any you can make make up remover from simple  kitchen ingredients. All you need is extra virgin olive oil, water and a bottle or a jar. First you fill the water to 3/4 of the way. Then you fill the rest with extra virgin olive oil. Also make sure there is room to be able to shake the bottle. Then put the cap back on and there you have a make up remover. You have to shake the bottle up before you use it.  If you want you can just use extra virgin olive oil by its self. This make up remover was also done in a video by Michelle Phan.

Oatmeal is a common thing to eat fro breakfast, but also can be used for your skin. It helps give your skin a natural glow and softness. Adding oatmeal and honey can make a good facial. Oatmeal contains polysaccharides. Polysaccharides is a type of carbohydrate. When it is mixed with water it makes a gel and this gel helps soften and nourish skin.

Lush Sweet Lips Lip Scrub

This lip scrub helps makes lips soft and smooth. It smells really good. The sweet lips is vanilla and chocolate sugar. All you have to do to achieve smooth lips is take a little of the scrub and rub it on your lips. Then you can lick it off because its sugar and it tastes good. I hope to try the scrubs and other lush products.

Cyber Colors Master Soft Smoothing Khol Pencil

This eyeliner is very smooth and applies on easily. It stays on pretty long even though its not waterproof. Since its really hot now it the summer. This eyeliner has unfortunately been smudging. Overall its a nice pencil eyeliner.

Ianti Luxe Jewelry Lip Flash

This is a very moisturizing lip flash and protects from cracks and chapping. I love the glitter. It does feel a bit sticky and does stay on long. Also you should apply it with a finger tip. I actually got this lip flash from a sleepover. The one I have is in star silver. Here is the website for Ianti cosmetics. They only sell their products in Asia.

Drugstore Make Up V.S. High End Makeup

Some people think that high end make up is better than drugstore make up. In fact sometimes drugstore makeup is better than high end makeup. In my opinion makeup from either is fine. Foundation, concealer, and powder makeup might need to be high end depending how your skin is. Eye and lip makeup can be high end or drugstore makeup.

Covergirl Invisible Concealer

This was my first concealer. I don't use it anymore because it wasn't working well with my skin. When I first used it I applied it with a sponge. After I tried using my fingers. I felt that using it with my finger was easier. It didn't really help hide my blemish. So for me I felt this was not a good concealer.


Urban Decay De Slick Setting Spray

This is a good spray to use if you want to keep your make up on for a long time. I recommend that you try the travel size first if you are trying  it for the first time. This is also oil free. First you have to shake it a few times. Then put it 8-10 inches away from the face. After you spray it on your face 2-8 times. You also should know you should spray it on your  face fist before you put foundation or powder on. Then you spray it on again. Read the instructions first. I didn't read the instructions the first time. This did keep my make up on a long time.

Fairy Drops Scandal Queen Mascara

This mascara can only be bought from Sephora and is the only product that Fairy Drops sells in Sephora. This is also waterproof. I really like this mascara. I don't get clumps. There isn't really a difference in length when I apply it to my lashes. This also stays on long.  I like the shape of the wand because its easy to apply. This only comes in black.


Covergirl Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner

I like that its not a pencil because I don't really like pencil eyeliners. This also is waterproof. It stays on nice and glides on easily. I wasn't sure what to do with the sponge on the end of the eyeliner. I like it, but I prefer cyber colors auto definer pen.

Nivea A Kiss of Moisture Lip Balm

Nivea lip balm stays on long. There is no scent to this so if you don't like lip balms with scents then you should consider this. It also has SPF 4.


EOS Lip Balm

EOS lip balm are very popular lip balm. They come in a cute oval shape. The scents smells nice. I have lemon. I picked lemon because it has SPF 15. The lip balm glides on nicely. I don't like that it doesn't stay on   long.


Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque


This is one of the best clay masks for acne. It also helps with blackhead and shrinks pores. I think that this mask has helped my skin a lot. My acne has decreased a lot because of this. This works well for people who have acne skin, oily skin, and combination skin. This would not be good for someone who has dry skin because the mask dries up the skin

Revlon Color Burst Lip Butter

The lip butter comes in some very nice shades. Its very smooth on lips and glides on nicely. Moisturizes my lips. It doesn't stay on long the first time I applied it. After it kinda wore off and I applied it again it seemed to stay on a bit longer. Its not long lasting. Overall its nice. I only currently own 3. I have sweet tart, strawberry shortcake, and cupcake.


Nivea Express Hydration Daily Lotion

The lotion is made my skin feel soft. It does hydrate my skin well. This helps normal to dry skin. It does have a nice scent, but if you don't like lotions with a strong scent then you should not get this. The scent is a lotus flower and sea minerals. I think this lotion is very nice. The only thing I don't care for is that when you apply the lotion it makes my skin feel sticky.

Cyber Colors Auto Eye Definer Pen

This was actually the first eyeliner I got. This eyeliner can only be bought from Sasa. I like that its not a pencil   liner because I don't fancy them. It goes on smoothly and only comes in black. It also doesn't smudge. The only thing I wish it was waterproof.



Covergirl Last Blast Fusion Water Proof Mascara


The first time I bought this I didn't get it in black. I got it in brown and I didn’t like the brown because you couldn't see the brown. When I got the black I thought it was good. I don’t like that it clumps together if you apply a lot on to make your lashes longer. Unfortunately my lashes are small so they won’t get much longer. This mascara does not make your lashes look like they are natural. It does last long so that is a problem.

Pur Minerals 4-in1 Pressed Mineral Makeup Foundation

I was looking for foundation and I found this. I wanted something to help hide acne, but no increase acne. Also to hide my acne scars. This was my first time buying foundation. I was not planning on wearing foundation everyday. So I had to ask the someone at the store for help. The foundation helped my combination skin. I think this is a good foundation for people with oily skin, acne skin, and combination skin. 

Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner


I was looking for waterproof liquid eyeliner that is easy to control and I was suggesting this. I will say you have good control with this eyeliner. It does stay on long. Another problem is the cap you have to push down hard to have the cap stay on. If you don't put the cap on properly the cap will go flying. In my preference I don’t really like this eyeliner. It’s just okay in my opinion.

BB Cream


BB cream is very popular make up product in Asia. Some common brands are Missha, Lioele, Skin 79, Skin Food and there are many more. Most stores for BB cream are in Korea. BB creams do many things. They can help with acne, whitening, oil control, dryness, and other things. Recently some make up companies in the US have made some BB creams. The BB creams from the US can be bought at Sephora.

Urban Decay Naked Pallet

This pallet is a great pallet to have. It is a bit pricey, but I it great to have. The eye shadows are compatible with people. If your fair skinned the pallet will work and if your darker the pallet will still work. The only thing I don't like about the pallet is probably the brush. The brush is not soft when you apply the eye shadow to your eyes. So I just use a different brush.
