Review: e.l.f. Cosmetics
Minty Lip Gloss-$3.00 (Got mine for $1 at a discount store)
This product is a great clear lip gloss, but it claims to have "sheer color", when in reality, it's clear as can be. This may just be the shade I got, though, because they have eight other shades. I love the tingly feeling it gives you when its on your lips, and it's very moisturizing.
Hypershine Lip Gloss-$1.00
This lip gloss is super pigmented! Although it does have a very sticky texture, which some people might not like. Mine is in the color Vixen. It comes in 12 shades (Fairy, Bubblegum, Berry Cherry, Mauve, Blossom, Joy, Flirt, Sugarplum, Cloud Nine, Honey, Bare).
Luscious Liquid Lipstick-$1.00
This lipstick is a bit less pigmented than most, but its still good for me. It has a dial-up tube, and this product lasts for a very long time. I've had this for a year and it still has a decent amount of product! It goes on kind of sticky, which I like, because it stays on my lips longer. It comes in 12 shades (Baby Lips, Pink Lemonade, Bark, Maple sugar, Caramel Candy, Brownie Points, Cherry Tart, Ruby Slipper, Perfect Pink, Raspberry, Strawberry, Nude Pink), and mine is in Ruby Slipper.
Tinted Moisturizer- $1.00
This tinted moisturizer has SPF15, which is a plus. It has very, very light coverage, so if you're looking for a higher coverage tinted moisturizer, I wouldn't recommend it. It is a bit greasy, so if you have extremely oily skin, this product isn't for you. The shade range isnt very wide, it only has 7 shades, and about 4 of them are basically the same color. I got Toffee, the darkest shade, and it was much paler than what it looked like on the website. I recommend going one shade up, from what you think will match your skintone.
100-Color Eyeshadow Palette
This palette has extremely pigmented colors, as you can see from the swatches. The matte white is a bit chalky, but still usable. It has many shades of every color (except yellow, there are only two of them). The pinks are pigmented, just not as pigmented as the rest. I wish the black was more pigmented also. but, for the most part,this is a great palette, and it is only $10!

Review: Wet n' Wild Color Icon Pencils
Left to right: Eyeliner in White, Lipliner in Plumberry
Packaging:
★ ★ ★ The packaging on the eyeliner is a bit weird. I'm not sure if it's just my item, but when i took the plastic wrapping off, it left a sticky residue on the pencil. The lip liner was fine though.
Price: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I bought these pencils at Kmart for 99 cents! Completely and totally affordable!
Product: ★ ★ ★ ★ These pencils are great! They are super creamy and glide on like butter! They both have great pigmentation and come with plenty of product. The pencils start out so long, that after having it for 5 months, they still barely fits in my makeup drawers (and keep in mind I use these products every day!).
I definitely reccomend these products to everybody!

Review: Maybelline Baby Lips
From left to right: 15 Cherry Me, 25 Pink Punch.
I'm SO sorry i cannot use my own photos of the products. My camera is having technical difficulties. When I get ahold of a new camera, I will replace the photos. The pictures I used are from MACnunu, one of my favorite blogs to read. Here is the link to her article: http://macnunu.blogspot.com/2011/10/maybelline-baby-lips-lip-balm-review.html
Claim: "Lip renew formula and 8-hr hydration for visibly renewed lips in 4 weeks."
Packaging: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
As you can see from the picture, these lip balms have a long cap that is about the same height as the tube itself. The packaging is different from that of most lip balms. A majority of lip balms have a thin tube running down the middle, which, if you roll down the balm too much, it can poke a hole in the balm. The Baby Lips don't have these, so it keeps your lip balms looking nice.
Price: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
These average about a price of $3 for a single tube. You can get bundles and those average anywhere from $4-$6. These are affordable, which makes it so that anyone can get them.
Product: ★ ★ ★ ★
The color of these are surprisingly pigmented, considering they are tinted lip balms. The red has a satin finish, and the pink has more of a matte finish. Because of this, the red is a lot more moisturizing. Using the pink alone is probably a bad idea if your lips dry out easily. The staying power of these can vary, depending on how much you lick your lips, drink and eat, etc. Overall, I think these are great products, and that you should try them out!
