Anastasia beverly hills dipbrow pomade

I was so excited to see this item in stores. It had been released about 2 months ago but you were only able to purchase it online. I decided to wait to pick the color that would best suit me.
This is a product for eyebrows that can help you define them and fill them. It's a gel formula very comparable to gel liners like Mac, still etc. The pigmentation is great. I hardly tap my brush into the container and it goes a long way. It does dry and is waterproof. I tried to see if my eyebrows would smudge and they didn't come off.
I use an angled brush to apply it but it is very tricky to do so. I do my eyebrows first and all that's in my face is moisturizer and a primer. So this does create a slippery surface so I would recommend work slowly with this product.
I think the price is great because you don't need a lot of product to Do your eyebrows. I bought this item at ulta and unfortunately the only color they had was chocolate. So I decided to give it a try. I probably would have got a lighter shade but this one works ok. It does leave my brows a bit darker than I like them But I have managed to make it work.
Overall I love this product and I would say give it a try. That's all I use now.

Julie G nail polish

Julie G is a YouTube guru that has a beauty channel. I have been watching her videos for a long time now. I ran into her nail polish line at RiteAid maybe about a year or so but was always skeptical to buy some. The other day I went to RiteAid and saw that they had a Valentine's day display of the nailpolish right when you walk in. She did a collaboration and released 3 shades that match a lipstick. So there's 3 nail polish and 3 lipsticks. I decided to walk toward all the nail polish racks to see if there was any other colors. In the back the had a sign that the nailpolish for that brand had a buy one get one 50% off so I decided to give it a chance.
I ended up getting a Valentine's day color and an aqua color. I decide to test them out and I must say I really do like the two colors I got. The aqua color was a little light but the Valentine's day color one was great pigmentation wise. They both went on good and after a week I had no chipping of any sort. I did forget to take a final picture sorry. But I did use a base coat and top coat. I applied two coats of both colors on each nail.
The container is a bit small but for the price I would say it's descent. I will try to purchase more to see if the brand is good all around. I really want to go try the matching lipstick one to see how it works.

Japonesque

The last time I went to ulta I decided to go to a different location. Instead of going to Burbank I decided to go to Pasadena. As I was walking around I ran into this brand called japonesque.  They had various different Things but I was attracted to the concealer. The packaging is really cute.
The first time I tried it u used it on a brush to define my brows. It was so creamy and blended so well. I then tried it underneath my eye to help cover and a little bit goes a long way.
I find that it did settle into my lines under my eyes but it gives great coverage and lasts all day. I find it creamier than the makeup forever palette with the 5 color shades. I love this product and right now ulta has a free gift with the purchase of $30 of this brand.

Rimmel London stay matte foundation

I'm super excited to be writing this review because I have been hunting this foundation down for a very long time. Every time I would go to ulta, cvs, walgreens etc they didn't have it. So a couple of nights ago I asked my husband to take me to rite aid and they had it! It was like it was destiny because there was only one left in my shade. Ok I'm being a little dramatic but it was the last one.
So this foundation is meant to keep your face matte (no shine or oil coming through your makeup) all day. Well I wore it and I have my first impression of it.
The consistency is just like Macs foundation in a tube. I believe it's studio sculpt which I used to use a long time ago. It can get pretty thick fast so I would recommend using small bits at a time. It blends really well and there was no issue with the tools I used. On one side I used the ulta dupe of the beauty blender and on the other I used a brush. Both side went on well and it didn't seem to take a long time. I did use a high end primer on my face but decided to use. My elf primer on my forehead to see if there was any difference. I didn't buy they primer that went along with this because they didn't have it. The store I bought this at only seemed to have four shades in this foundation and the darkest one was the one I got. I'm usually around an nc42 in Mac sometimes a 40 so the foundation is not offered to darker skin tones. I did take a flash pic with Just my foundation and it seemed light for my skin. There was a white cast so I would recommend setting the foundation and all that other nice stuff.
So after wearing this foundation for a little over 8 hours I must say I love it! Both primers worked well with it and it seemed like the oils of my skin were just starting to come through. But it could have fooled me because you couldn't really tell. It covered great with a little bit of product and its so cheap. $5 you guys!!!! I would advise you guys that I have seen some videos on this and some people had an allergic. Reaction so keep that in mind. Other than that I would suggest try it out.

Zoya nail polish

I have always been a fan of YouTube makeup videos and I would always see this particular person show zoya nail polishes. I liked them But didn't really know where I can purchase them. So about 3 or 4 months ago I got my husband to take me to ulta for the first time. As I was looking around I ran into zoya nail polishes! Yes I was excited because I would finally get to try them.
I decided to get only two shades because I didn't want to spend on something when I didn't know how the brand was. Ever since then I go to ulta and look for New zoya polishes. I usually go when they have buy one get one free or buy two get one free.
As I started to collect nail polishes I would always go to sephora and buy sephora by opi. I figured these colors were the best ones. I was super wrong. I think different brands have their hits and misses and they can have really good things and others that might not be so good.
I like zoya because they are not super expensive, they run for $8. When I apply these colors they last longer than my sephora by opi. I have also tried the formula x by sephora and I think they are gooey and thick. Zoya doesn't have that I feel like the color is perfect. Some colors might need two coats but other than that they work great. I took pictures of all the colors I have and they all are just one coat. I feel like they last a long time and they run for the same price as Sally Hansen and even essie.

Jane eyeliners

I wanted to see if I bought more of this brand rather than just doing a review on two things but I haven't got a chance to do so. So I might as well write about the things I have. I went to ulta about a month ago and as I was heading to the register I ran into the Jane cosmetics booth. I had seen it at ulta before but didn't really stop to look. I decided to give them a try because they were buy one get one 50% off. I got two eye liners. One in aqua and the other in a lilac color.
The formulation is very smooth and creamy. I can honestly say they compare a lot to the stila eye liners but for half of the price.
I like that they are retractable and you don't have to sharpen them. They are easy to travel with and the pigmentation is great. I took pics of the Jane compared to other liners. Starting from left to right they would be Jane aqua,Jane lilac, jordana blue, sephora aqua,and nyx aqua. (These are the color but not the name of them) . I then took a pic and smudged them and you can see how each held up.
I have tried these in the waterline and they last all day. The pigmentation is great without using a lot of product. I'm really impressed with this line and I really do look forward to purchasing more.

Nyx wonder pencil

I bought this a couple of months back but haven't really gotten around to do a review. These are concealer sticks in a pencil form. At first I figured I can use these as my under eye concealer but when I tried them I knew it wasn't gonna work out.
Since these are in pencil form they can tug on your eye. My recommendation would be to use it after foundation to cover certain areas maybe like a pimple scar or something of that sort. Nothing with a big space because it might irritate the skin because of the tugging.
These are creamy and they glide on for the most part. I use this to line my waterline or even to do a double line on my eye. I have also tried using these to define my brows but I find its a bit hard to blend when I use it like that.
I purchased two colors and I believe there was 3 total. I purchased the 01 light and 02 medium. Overall I'm not disappointed because I can use this item for multiple things.
