Courtney's Makeup Haul & Review

Sephora & Ulta 
Benefit:
  • Erase Paste $10 #2 Medium - This conceals under eye circles like no other while it brightens, very thick, but it doesn't look cakey. I recommend buying the small size it's a $19 value.
  • The POREfessional - Great for priming under eyes and it makes pores disappear, has a potent smell, but I like it.
  • BadGal Mascara - It has an extremely thick brush, but it basically just coats your natural lashes with a black coat, I'm not a huge fan.
Urban Decay
  • Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Sin, Greed, and Original(not pictured) $22 - These really make the biggest difference! They make eyeshadows pop and stay on for a very very long time, love them!
  • 24/7 Glide on eyeshadow in Sin, Juju, Clash, Rehab, and Delinquent $12 - These are great if you want a quick look. They are extremely pigmented and stay on probably 24 hours, if you didn't wash it off.
Dr. Brandt 
  • Flexitone BB Cream (Deluxe Sample) - This is my first BB cream and I think it works very well. It moisturizes and gives a very dewy look white covering up quite well. It smells of sunscreen.
Rosebud Perfume Co. 
  • Strawberry Lip Balm $7 - Very moisturizing and thick. It doesn't give off any color although it is pink in the pan. The smell is very strong of strawberries, kind of a candy scent. I like it.




Mac

  • Mineralized Skinfinish Natural in Medium $29  - Everyone knows this product is great, I like to sweep it on my face lightly.
  • Eyeshadow in Jest $12 - Described as a soft peach with icy shimmer, a frost finish. for a frost it gives pretty good payoff.
  • Eyeshadow in Expensive Pink $12 - Described as a pink with copper duochrome this color is so gorgeous, it doesn't make your eyes look red, but brings out the blue color in them(for me) also a good crease color for Jest.
  • Quad Palette Container $7 - Holds four Mac eyeshadow pans, I view it as a better deal than buying the eyeshadows in the pot form.





Estée Lauder

  • Double Wear Stay In Place Cream Eyeshadow in Cafe Au Lait $13 - I got this at a CCO in California and it's very pretty! It works very well as a base or on its own and it's super creamy.



Maybelline
  • Mega Plush Mascara Waterproof $6 - A very nice mascara! It may replace my Covergirl LashBlast Waterproof, I really like the brush, it's easy to work with and it's so buildable without bing clumpy.
  • 24 Hr Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze $6 - A dark bronze color, a good base for other eyeshadows, it's very creamy and it's comparable to higher end cream eyeshadows. 
Nyx
  • Jumbo Eye Pencil in Sparkle Nude $4 - I haven't had a chance to put this on yet, but I think it will be a nice base for other colors. 
  • Powder eyeshadow in Sahara $4 - This is a great highlight color! It's not matte, but not too shimmery and it looks very natural.

Covergirl

  • Eyeshadow Quad in Sheerly Nudes $5 - I haven't had a chance to use this yet.
Jordana
  • Fabu Liquid Liner in 01 Black $2.50 - I don't have much experience with liquid liner, but this seems alright, I've used it twice and it kind of goes further than I think it is, but it's very black and I just need to get used to it.
