Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water

I used this primer water as my only primer/base while I was trying this product out. Although I do really like this spray, I will be using this more like a primer-booster before applying actual primer and/or as a setting spray. This feels and smells really refreshing. I tried to get the best picture of the mist. It looks a little intense, but it's a nice fine mist.

Too Faced I Want Kandee (Black Licorice Eyeliner)

I've mentioned this before, but I just didn't fall in love with this Too Faced line.

I have seen a few of the items in person and still wasn't too impressed. Then I seen this eyeliner and it intrigued me. I don't wear eyeliner as much anymore, but I like a wing every now and then. You know those days when you can't get your wings to line up (be twins instead of just sisters) and your liner keeps getting thicker? Yeah, I've had plenty of those days. This liner applicator is small and angled like a brush you would use a gel pot liner with. I was really curious if this was going to be a handy product or not and it really is! The few times (since I've gotten this) that I wanted a wing and used this liner my wings have been the closest they've ever been to looking just alike and they're good wings! The best part is the application is super easy! I also wanted to mention how amazing the formula is. I swatched this liner on the back of my hand (before and after pictures below) this morning and left it all day. I washed my hands several times, did chores around the house, took care of messy kids, etc. and it still looks amazing! I recommend this liner to anyone, but if you're a beginner at wings I really recommend this to you. I wish I had this when I was just starting out with liner. The only downfall to this is it's limited edition. Once it's gone, it's gone. I really hope TF will keep this liner or I'll have to start stocking up for sure!

Wet n Wild Color Icon Bronzer (Reserve Your Cabana)

So I can start off by saying I don't use this product as a bronzer, but as a highlight. It's the perfect natural highlight. It's not too blinding, but still a noticeable glow (reminds me of the XO Beauty Highlighting Powder). I haven't tried the other shades of this and the darker one might be a great bronzer, but I've enjoyed this one as a highlight. I like to be super glowy/dewy in the summer, but now during fall I want a matte look with a slight glow and this is perfect!

Mac Bold & Bad Lash Mascara

This is another product I was intrigued by. As you can see by the pictures below, this is a duo wand mascara. You untwist the black part from the bottle to reveal the bigger wand, which is great for your top lashes. Then you can untwist the red part to reveal the smaller wand for your bottom lashes. It sounds a little excessive, but I would much rather buy a duo mascara then really want to buy mascaras for both my top and bottom lashes. Using regular wands for your lower lashes is fine as well, but if you're like me and try this out, you will fall in love with it and how much easier it is to apply mascara to your lower lashes with a smaller wand. I really love the look of this formula on my lower lashes. I wish there was more to it when applying it to my top lashes, but it's still not the worse. I've also used this over my lashes with falsies on and loved it! This isn't a product that you just have-to-have, but if you're intrigued (like I was) then I would test it out.
