One of the best mascaras I’ve ever used to curl, define, darken and lengthen my lashes! Unlike many mascaras I’ve used in the past, this one hasn’t even begun to dry out after a few months and is still fresh in the tube and easy to apply. I admit I haven’t went swimming with this one yet, but with sweating in the summer, it doesn’t run or smudge, so to me that’s definitely a win!

I'm sad this was recently discontinued. It's a really pretty magenta color, and it smells like birthday cake! I love KVD's liquid lipstick formulas, as they are not sticky and they are long wearing and so easy to apply!

This is a really pretty, white-silver shimmer. It is BRIGHT. This isn't one of those universally flattering shades. If you have a warm undertone you'll look lost wearing this. I tried this on and what instantly came to mind was Britney Spears in her Oops I Did it Again video...which isn't a bad thing, if you long for the early 2000s and like that aesthetic. I won't rate this badly just because it didn't work for me, because it is a really good product, decently priced and could definitely work for someone else, as a topper, as an inner corner highlight, or if strategically paired with a flattering color in your crease - but warm tones should choose a different color from NYX's Prismatic Eyeshadow line if they don't want to look like a teenage dELiA*s catalog model.

I found this one to be really interesting. It’s blue in the tube but if you pay closer attention you’ll see pink glitter flecks in it as well. One of the reasons I like blue glosses is that they tend to bring out the natural pink in my lips, and Blue Hawaii did just that, while also adding a sort of lavender tint (blue gloss + pink sparkle = light purple). The formula was hydrating, non-sticky and comfortable to wear. It also smells like vanilla, which is nice. Overall I like this gloss.

This is such a beautiful, sheer glitter gloss. It's very comfortable to wear, not sticky, and it smells like a Starburst candy! Photos online tend to show it looking rather peachy or coral, but in person it looks a lot more pink to me. The color is very buildable, so whether you want a sheer hint of sparkle to your lips or a more bright pink look, as a topper for lipstick or by itself, it's all doable.

Lolita is definitely a classic of KVD! I would describe this color as an antique rose. It's a very charming color that in my opinion is incredibly versatile. I have worn this to a wedding, to a concert, to work and school, and even once borrowed it to my 85 year old grandmother to wear for church - and she looked stunning. Lolita has been called universally flattering and I'd have to agree. Like all of KVD's Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks, the formula and applicator is amazing and near-perfect. You only need one swipe of color, and the doe foot applicator is so easy to work with that you don't need a lip liner. It also dries quickly without feeling sticky and lasts for hours.

An oldie but goodie! Anything you want to hide, this will cover. That said, be careful how much of this you use. To cover my entire face I need less than a dime size amount. If you use too much you run the risk of looking like a shiny plastic doll. There is quite a lot of product in the bottle, and with how little you have to use, one of these can last you more than a year, even if you wear it every day. One thing that irritates me about the bottle is the closure - there is a cover piece that fits over the opening the product comes out of, sort of like a plug. Foundation will build up all around that area and become dry and sticky eventually and you have to clean around it frequently, especially if you intend to travel with it. Other than that this is my go to foundation and absolutely love it!

This has easily become on of my favorite eyeshadow palettes. The formula, like all Colourpop shadows I've tried, is buttery, easily blended and generously pigmented. One thing a lot of people were saying about this palette is that one of the shadows (the Force) tends to fall out of the pan for some reason. Luckily for me this has not happened, but I still make sure to never store this palette on its side, to be safe. The Child is described as an olive tones palette, but in addition to olive greens there is also a lovely seafoam green, a chocolate brown that I love, as well as some pretty metallics.

For a drugstore product, this performs like many high end liquid lipsticks. Beautiful and pigmented, easy application, and very long wear! Sandstorm is also a suggested dupe for Jeffree Star's Celebrity Skin and KVD Vegan Beauty's Bow 'n Arrow, and I can definitely see it. One thing I really like about this formula is that it's not dry and therefore did not show lines on my lips.

Separates, defines, thickens and lengthens lashes! No flaking, either. This is one of the best mascaras I've ever tried.

This was the first lip product from KVD I had ever purchased. Bow n' Arrow is still my go-to for everyday looks, as it is one of the most beautiful nudes I've ever come across. The formula is comfortable and really does last all day, and the doe foot applicator is near perfect so you can apply this effortlessly. My only issue with it is that it sometimes shows lines in my lips, but that's not anything new and you'll get that with most liquid lipsticks.

I've been a fan of the Runway Eyes series since I was a teen. These are some of the best drug store shadows I've ever used. They're soft, apply so easily, are not patchy at all, and are generously pigmented. Beach Sand is a beautiful golden beige with a bit of green shimmer thrown in. It's not an ordinary, bland, oatmeal beige. This shimmer is one of their prettiest!

Sticky, doesn't apply well, dry...I gave this line of products 4 tries and all 4 disappointed 🙁 They do have cool colors though, I'll give them that much. I just wish the application was better and it didn't turn into such an awful, dry, sticky mess.

So basically...I found it to be nothing special. All it's ever done for me is coat my lashes with product. It doesn't work to lengthen or add volume. There are better mascaras on the market for around the same price.
