Maybelline New York Shine Sensational Lip Gloss

Juicy lips with a fruity taste, this trend was playful and was everyone’s obsession. We all had too much fun building the different colors of gloss like green with pink or pink with red to get new results every time. This lip-gloss created a glassy look while moisturizing the lips and keeping moisturized all day.

L’Oreal Visible Lift Serum Absolute Concealer

We all had those long all-nighters either at school or work... or when partied too hard the night before work and this concealer did wonders of refreshed eyes. This clickable concealer gives brightening and hydrating coverage under the eyes without anyone noticing any imperfections or exhaustion, thanks to its ingredients of Vitamin E, C, retinyl palmitate and hyaluronic acid – the best anti-aging properties.

Revlon Brow Fantasy and Gel

We love the old formula of the gel overcoat back when we slimly filled our brows. Its application can be messier due to its powdery versus liquid-gel formulation, but it still does the trick for long-lasting, full brows.

Maybelline New York XXL Volume Mascara

The double-wand mascara gave the extra length, volume and fuller lashes. Using both sides of the mascara gave the false eyelash look without having to know how to apply them! We call that a win-win situation.

Revlon Photoready Airbrush Foundation

Before the brushes and the Beauty Blender, it was hard to find a reliable foundation to give the airbrushed look and this foundation gave the most flawless skin without the greasy feel. The formulation had a lot of shimmer and medium coverage – although, it must be finished off with a powder to avoid the extra disco ball effect. Like the bottle advertises, this foundation looked great under any photographed moment, with the flash on or off.

CoverGirl Blast Flipstick Double-Sided Lipstick

The dual lipstick with a shiny tube and a bold colored tube, the endless color possibilities to wear one side or combine the two to create fabulous lip looks from day-to-night. Although the formulations contradict, one side is matte while the other is smooth, they’re both highly pigmented and blend well together. It’s surprising how a tube of orange-red and gold could look so good on your lips.
