Olay Complete, formerly known as Oil of Olay has been around for many years. I began using this product about 10 years ago (thanks to my lovely mom) and loved it ever since! This product is non-greasy, leaves your skin with a nice dewy glow, it is also great to use before applying your makeup! When applied once, it last the entire day and best of all it has a sun protection of SPF 15 to protect any further sun damage to your skin. 

The only thing I really don't like but very minor is the white vale it leaves behind when you perspire, this occurs for me even after i have blended it well but like with all moisturizers that contain SPF you can expect that. The new packaging is great, you have to squeeze the bottle for product to come out, I know a lot of people are prefer having a pump for hygiene reasons but once used when hands are clean you are fine.

In conclusion, as long as this product is manufactured I will be purchasing it, it is of great quality. You can purchase it at any drugstore nationwide.

Cheers to great skin :D !

Thank you for watching and as always if you have used this product I would love to know your experience.

M.A.C's Kohl Eye Pencil - Smolder

Claim: A soft-on pencil liner, defines and shades the eyes with rich color and a silky smooth matte/pearl. Ophthalmologist tested.



Overall: 4 our of 5
Packaging: 4 out of 5
Price: $15.00
Size/Weight: 1.45g/ 0.05oz
Would I recommend this product? Yes


Pro's:


  • Easy to apply
  • Creamy consistency
  • True to color (very intense)
Con's:
  • Runs easily
  • Does not stay on the water line for very long


Hi Everyone! After hearing rave reviews about this pencil liner I decided to give it a try and I must say I was very impressed, it is the best pencil liner I've ever used. Other than the smudging or running (that can be easily fixed by applying back eye shadow to lock in the color and get more staying power) it works well for smokey eyes or regular everyday wear.


It is a bit on the pricey side and I am sure there is a less expensive alternative from a drugstore makeup line. I purchase the pencil liner in black but it also comes in 10 different shades. Here there are below:


Fascinating- a Matte White
Minted- a Mint Green with Pearl
Rosemary and Thyme- Mid-tone Olive Gold with shimmer
Power Surge- Bronzed Brown with shimmer
Costa Riche- Rick Coffee Bean Brown
Teddy- Intense Bronze
Phone Number- Smudgy Charcoal
Tarnish- Blackened Forest Green
Blooz- Intense Blue with blue shimmer
Prunella- Shimmering Black-Eyed Plum

I bought this mascara after having used the Original Voluminous Million Lashes, which I loved but was not impressed with the flaking and smudging. I then purchased the Voluminous Million Lashes waterproof and I must say I absolutely love this product!It comes in two shades; Black and Blackest Black.

 It gives you everything, from volume to separation of each individual lash and NO smudging which I think everyone would love not having to worry about having raccoon eyes... ha ha. This is by far the best mascara I have ever used.

E.L.F Eyelid Primer Trio

Overall: 4 out of 5

Size/Weight: Does not state on packaging
Would I recommend this? Yes


Pro's:


  • Compact for easy travel
  • Long lasting for up to about 6 hours
  • Very light weight in every sense
  • A great price for good quality
Con's:
  • Product does not last for a long time (dries up really quick)
The colors that come in the set are : Sheer, Champagne and Pearl. Below are swatches, from left to right : Pearl, Champagne and Sheer.





This product is definitely bang for your buck! The Pearl and Champagne colors are shimmery and Sheer is less shimmery almost matte, you really have to look closely to see the shimmer.These are very long lasting, makeup remover is required to remove it, if not you would have to really wash it off for it to be completely removed. All over smooth application and your eye shadow's POP with true color!
