Make up I have + Rating.

Eyeshadow

{{Naked basics}} 8.0 - Full Review
-Not bad. Lightest color, and two darkest shade are fairly pigmented, 
but the in between shades aren't as pigmented as I hoped. I use this frequently. 
-Middle of the road pigment wise, but super shimmery which somewhat makes up for it. I use this sometimes.
{{Bare minerals - Wearable pistachio light}} 8.0
-Pretty pigmented, and very shimmery. It's pretty long lasting as well. I use this sometimes. 
{{BH cosmetics 120 palette - 1st edition}} 8.0
{{BH cosmetics 120 palette - 2nd edition}} 8.0
-All the BH palettes I've tried have been great, but the pigmentation and quality of the different shadows varies pretty wildly. There are some colors that just don't quite match up to the others. I use these palettes frequently.

Mascara

{{Clump crusher}} 6.0
     -Keeps lashes from clumping during application fairly well, and is long lasting. No real thickening or lengthening effect, and not waterproof at all. It is a decent drugstore alternative, but probably won't do much to enhance your lashes.

Liners

{{Bare minerals - Black leather liner shadow}} 9.0
-Very opaque, sparkly liner. easy to apply with an angled brush but it can get everywhere. I prefer to apply it wet. High enough quality that rubbing off on my upper lid is minimal though it still happens. Great liner. I use this sometimes.
-Very, very pigmented, and incredibly sparkly. Like the black leather is has a tendency to get everywhere when applied dry, but it fantastic applied wet. I use this rarely. 
-Can be tricky to apply, but it's super opaque. Has a tendency to rub off on the upper lid within a few hours of wear. I use this rarely.

Brows

-I'm all for trying drugstore brand products but this was crap. My first impression was that it was decent for a drugstore pencil, but then I found out when the original nib ran out that here is essentially no additional product beyond what you see. I've read that it is possible to advance the product by removing the brush end and forcing it through with a q-tip but the brush is near impossible to remove, and the entire process is altogether unnecessary. Only gets two stars for the decent application of the product itself. I use this rarely.

-A great little pencil that I use often. Easy to sharpen, and very pigmented, however, I do have difficulty feathering my brows with it. 

Primers

-Smooth application, and creamy without feeling oily. seems to promote long-lasting face makeup, but I didn't notice much of a difference in ease or quality of foundation application. I use this occasionally.
-Creamy, smooth application. This primer is a rockstar. I apply a thin coat of it and allow it to sit for a bit before applying shadow. This primer keeps my shadow in place all night with little wear and no need to retouch. I use this frequently.

Blush

{{Bare minerals - first class (Powder)}} 6.0
-Not very pigmented, and very subtle and shimmery. The color doesn't do much for me. It can be built up, but is otherwise very, very subtle. I use this frequently.

Lips

{{Cover girl - Golden Apricot}} 5.0
-This is not bad for a drug store brand. It's not terribly long lasting, but its got a decent amount of pigment to it. Does not apply quite as smoothly as it could, and feels a bit chalky. I could recommend applying it with a brush. Its could for quick, subtle, but pleasant color. I use this rarely.
{{Bare Minerals - Moxie, Live it up}} 10.0
-Very pigmented, and super bold and bright. It definitely makes a statement. Creamy, and it spreads evenly. It's not the most pigmented lipstick I've swatched, but Its more than pigmented enough to create a great bold lip. I use this frequently.
{{Bare Minerals - Moxie, Break Away}} 10.0
-Very pigmented and fun. Spreads evenly, and smoothly over your lips, and looks great full strength or blotted. This color is still strong, but not nearly as bold. I love it. I use this frequently.
{{Sugar Rose - Lip treatment}} 7.0
-Smells wonderful! Had a slight, fun tint to it. Super smooth and creamy, but not super long lasting. Also fragile, and the stick broke easily with regular use. Still lots of fun. I use this frequently.
-Also smells great, and goes on clear with a slight wet look. It makes a great substitute for chapstick, but as I've noticed with a lot of these silky smooth moisturizers, after about an hour a film builds up on my lips. Still fun, and my lips feel great. I use this frequently.
-Quality is right for the price. color is middle of the road pigmentation-wise, but it applies easily, and can be twisted to advance product easily. I use this frequently.

Face

{{Mineral veil}} 8.0
-I did notice that it didn't quite hold up to my oily skin, but overall it wasn't too bad. I do feel like it makes my skin appear softer. I use this rarely.
-The difference is pretty minimal, and it doesn't do a lot to mask redness, acne, or dark circles. My skin does have a somewhat healthier glow. I use this frequently.
-I'm not fond of the way I look tanned, That said, This was okay for contouring, but a bit on the warm side. Coverage was even, and its fairly pigmented. I use this occasionally.
-A bit darker then I like, but gives my face a wonderful glow when applied. I use this sometimes. 
-Decent coverage and light reflection that keeps my dark circles from showing up in photos. It is a touch too yellow for my skin tone, but it seems to help with distracting from the dark circles. I use this fequently.

Concealer

{{BB creamy concealer - Beige}} 6.0
-Very thick, and not as easy to manipulate and spread. Also not as opaque as I'd hoped. It does an okay job of covering my dark circles, but it quite noticeable and I usually have to pair it with another concealer. I use this frequently.
{{Erase paste - Medium }} 8.0
-Super smooth, and a lot softer and easier to spread than I expected. Very opaque as well. Some creasing over time, but over all very happy with the results. I use this frequently.
{{Stila perfecting concealer }} 6.0
-Smooth, and applies thin, but coverage is decent. I often pair it with another concealer, as it doesn't really build well, and is not very opaque. I use this frequently.
