1. NYX Dewy Finish Long-Lasting Setting Spray- ($8, Ulta, Target, nyxcosmetics.com)- Boy, I am so glad this setting spray is finished. I couldn't spray this setting spray directly onto my face because it would dry out my face. Therefore, I had to spray it into the air and then let it fall on my face. It did not dry out my face when I used that method. It did actually make my skin dewy and make my makeup last all day. I will not be repurchasing it anytime soon though because I prefer a matte look. However, I am looking into purchasing the matte finish setting spray from NYX.

2. Maybelline Fit Me Dewy & Smooth Skin Foundation [315 Soft Honey]- ($5, drugstores)- This is another product I am glad to see go. This is a light coverage foundation that can be layered to achieve a fuller coverage, It does provide a dewy finish. However, I thought it would overly dewy. [Tip: If you want a natural-looking foundation routine, set this foundation with the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder. The powder is not designed to keep you matte all day. When the dewy finish of the foundation breaks through the powder, it looks so natural and pretty. I would get so many compliments when I did that. That's also why this was my 2nd bottle of this foundation.] With that being said, this is another product that I will not be repurchasing anytime soon because, again, I love a matte finish. 

3. Urban Decay Perversion Mascara (travel size)- ($10 for travel size, $22 for full size, Ulta, Sephora, urbandecay.com)- This mascara was more of a volumizing mascara instead of a lengthening mascara in my opinion. I love volumizing mascaras. This mascara did not flake or smudge on me. I am not too entirely sure if I will repurchase this mascara because there are drugstore volumizing mascaras that I absolutely love.

4. ELF Luscious Liquid Lipstick [Baby Lips]- ($1, eyeslipsface.com, Target, select Walmart stores)- This is my 2nd tube of this lipstick. It is a pretty shade that I can pair with any look. It is a sticky formula which some people might not love. However, I absolutely LOVE sticky lipgloss- like formulas. I am not going to repurchase this one right away though because I want to try other lip products. 

5. Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara- ($5.94, drugstores- I have reviewed the Black Pearl version of this earlier this year. I did not notice a difference between this one (the regular one) and the Black Pearl version so I will link that review here. 

6. Milani Shadow Eyez 12 Hour Wear Eyeshadow Pencil [Sand Dunes]- ($7.49, milanicosmetics.com, select drugstores)- I absolutely love this eyeshadow base. I did not experience creasing with this eyeshadow base. [Keep in mind, I do have oily eyelids. Therefore, I follow a specific routine before applying eyeshadow bases. This works for like 99% of the different eyeshadow bases that I have tried.] This one is a shimmery champagne/ taupe shade. It definitely helps to make light shimmery shades pop. I have 3 other shades of product and I love those as well! I am not repurchasing this right away because I have close to 20 eye bases.... After I get through some of those, I definitely would repurchase this!

7. Wet 'n Wild Kohl Eyeliner [Pretty in Mink]- ($0.99, drugstores)- This used to be the eyebrow pencil that I used every single day. That has definitely changed. This is a pretty pigmented pencil. Therefore, it is easy to have Sharpie brows, Therefore, I have stopped the Sharpie brow thing and changed my brow routine for the better. I will not be repurchasing. Too bad, I already have another one in my makeup collection, ugh.
