Rave - Foundation Brush

I have learned the hard way that when buying makeup brushes, chances are it's worth it to spend the extra money. I'm not saying that there aren't good, cheap brushes out there, but I have had my best of luck with durability and application with the Sigma line of brushes. Today's Rave is my favorite of my collection, my Sigma Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki Brush (F80): 

Rave - Eyeshadow

I have three eyeshadow pallets that are my go to pallets every morning. I almost always use one of these three. I did an earlier rave on my Too Faced Naked Eye Pallet, then there is of course my Urban Decay Naked Pallet, and lastly, my favorite of the three, my customized MAC Quad:

Bash - Setting Spray

I have been wanted to try a setting spray for ages but I just can't fork over the money for MAC's version before knowing if it is a product that I will use daily, so I decided I would start by trying E.L.F's Mist and Set... needless to say I'm not extremely distraught about this product, but I'm not happy either. So, here is another Bash: 

Rave - Pigments

I am new to pigments, and it really took some trial and error to figure out how to work with them but I have loved all results I have gotten by using these. Today's Rave: Urban Decay Loose Pigments:

Rave - Tinted Moisturizer

I am pretty excited about this Rave, mainly because I love this product so much that I want you all to go out and love it too. I will warn you, it's a tad bit expensive but SO WORTH IT! Today's Rave, Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer: 

Rave - Nail Polish

Today I'm going to compare my two favorite nail polish brands however I just discovered a new brand I'm trying out and I'll let you know what I think of ZOYA at a later date. For today this Rave is on OPI vs China Glaze: 

Rave - Eyeshadow

I absolutely love eyeshadow, probably my favorite part of my makeup collection and I realized I've been doing a lot of reviews on skin care stuff, so, this is one of my favorite eyeshadow pallet! Let me introduce my Rave on Too Faced Naked Eye collection: 

Bash - Mask

I absolutely love doing masks. I find them very relaxing and give great results without being too hard to do on your own. With that being said, this one is not the easiest, hence Bash on Befine Warming Clay Mask: 

Rave - Toner

I was never one who believed in using a toner. I mean, is it really necessary? It probably isn't, but after using this product I will be adding a toner to my daily skin regimen routine. The one that took my breath away? LUSH's Tea Tree Toner:
