NYX Nude on Nude Palette

NYX's Nude on Nude palette is a great dupe for Urban Decay's Naked and Naked 2 Palettes. This palette comes with 20 nude eyeshadows and 10 lip glosses. There are matte shadows as well as shimmer shadows in this palette. It is only $25, so you are getting double the product for half the price if you buy this instead of the Naked Palettes. I would highly recommend this to people who do not want to spend $50 on Naked or Naked 2. This product is a 9/10 in my opinion. You can buy this at Ulta or Target.

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil

NYX's Jumbo Eye Pencil comes in 32 shades, ranging from black to pink! This pencil is can be used as a eyeliner, eyeshadow base, or an eyeshadow. It it very creamy and will not tug on your eyelid! If you use this as an eyeshadow, it will not crease. It is long lasting and will stay on your waterline without smudging. The pencils are very pigmented and you get a lot for what you pay for. You can find them for $4.50 at Ulta or Target. I give this product a 9.5/10 and highly recommend it!

Benefit CORALista

Benefit's CORALista is a gorgeous coral/pink blush. This blush would look great on almost everyone. Plus, it smells amazing! The blush comes in a very cute box with a brush. CORALista gave my cheeks a very natural glow to them and lasted most of the day! The pigmentation is phenomenal. It has a little bit of a gold shimmer to it, but it is not overwhelming. You can build this blush up to be darker, but I leave it so it looks natural. CORALista warms up you're entire face and gives you a perfect glow! You can get this at Sephora and Ulta for around $28. I give this product a 10/10 and would highly recommend it.

Benefit BADgal Lash Mascara

I absolutely LOVE this mascara. The brush is big and it does not clump. This mascara also gives amazing volume and length. This mascara did not wear off on me throughout the day, when I get home from school or running errands, it still looks like I just applied the mascara. It comes off very easily without having to rip your eyelashes off like some mascaras. The black is very dark and matte, the best thing is that it does not smudge! I would give this mascara a 9/10, highly recommend it! You can get this mascara at Sephora and Ulta for around $19.

Maybelline The Rocket Mascara

I recently tried out Maybelline The Rocket mascara and fell in love with it. This mascara gives volume, length, and does not clump. I really like how big the brush is. It gets through all of my lashes and distributes the mascara evenly. The packaging is very nice as well. I would highly recommend this mascara to anyone. I will most likely be repurchasing this product once I run out. You can find The Rocket at most drugstores for around $6. I give this product a 9/10.

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

I got a sample of this in my Seventeen Magazine and I love it! I am in the shade light/medium. It applies so smoothly and after it’s on, I can’t even tell I have anything on my face because it is so light, yet it covers all of my imperfections. I have combination skin, and this controls my oil and moisturizes my skin at the same time! You can find this at most drugstores for around $8. I will definitely be purchasing the full size. I give this product a 9/10 and highly recommend it.

Colgate® Optic White®

Colgate Optic White Mouthwash. $2.99 for 8oz bottle
Colgate Optic White Toothbrush. $2.99 per brush
Colgate Optic White Toothpaste. $2.99 for 4oz tube

I really enjoy these three products. I noticed a difference in my teeth within the first 5 days of using this product.  At first, the toothbrush hurt my teeth, but I got used to it after a few days. The toothpaste has a really great minty taste. It foams up to get a good deep clean. The only thing I don't like about it, is that it leaves a foam residue on my teeth. Lastly, the mouthwash does not have a very good taste. I notice a difference, but the taste and aftertaste of it is awful. I would give the product line a 9/10.

I received these products complimentary from Influenster
