I bought the UD Super Saturated lip pencil in Naked and I like it a lot. It's got almost like a pearlized finish that I wasn't expecting, and at first I thought that was going to make me not like it. But I do; it's very subtle.
I also tried two concealers I like - Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer, and UD concealer pencil. I've been less than satisfied with my old standby of Laura Mercier lately so I thought I would look around, and I like them both. Amazing Cosmetics is pretty strong stuff; you probably don't need it unless you have serious dark circles like I do. The UD pencil is more of a standard concealer, and I really like both the coverage and the pencil format.
I also finally found a concealer brush I like, their #46. I like it way better than giant #57 that I tried last year.
I'll ditto the Naked pencil recommendation. I've also been really happy with two of the new UD liners I picked up. Ether is a really interesting taupe duochrome that's subtle enough for work but a lot more interesting than Stray Dog. LSD is a glittery blue that's better for evenings or weekends. I'm also loving the YSL Candy Volupte Shine sheer lipsticks, particularly Sweet Fig, which is a gorgeous sheer watermelon color.
Funny, I was going to say the Laura mercier concealer. But not for under eyes. It's been covering my acne deciding to show back up (hello derm appointment Wednesday).
Hourglass suede duo. Really nice so far.
Bobbi brown caviar eyeliner gel. Doesn't budge.
Sunday rilely blush. For some reason my skin stopped holding on I blush but this stays on me, and I love the color (blushing).

I just got the NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Yu. It's amazing. Really great color selection, long lasting, and it goes on so smoothly. I'm not usually one to wear lip color but I love this stuff.

I'm loving both the #55 brush (thanks @iheartcosmos for the rec) and the #57 concealer brush (it is in fact gigantic, but I already have two smaller concealer brushes) that I got last week. The Amazing Concealer has great coverage, but they don't have a shade that matches my skin well enough. I've been eyeing the Clinique Airbrush Concealer for undereyes, which is featured in many of Lisa Eldridge's videos. I must be doing something wrong, because the much beloved Maybelline Age Rewind concealer creases like crazy on me.
No, but I have some new Ulta favorites. The Lorac Glogetter eyeshadow palette (Ulta exclusive) is only $20 and is amazing. The shadows are gorgeous summer colors and really great quality. You need it.
I recently discovered and am in LOVE with Maybelline Colorsensational Vivids lipstick. They are sooooo pretty and wear 5+ hours. This is me in Pink Pop and Hot Plum. I also bought On Fire Red and Shocking Coral but haven't tried them.
I also discovered Revlon Photoready foundation, which is a dupe of MUFE HD foundation. I really love the foundation. Oh, and NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder is awesome and only $6. I was all set to spend $30 on Benefit Brow Zings, but decided to try this first. I'm glad I did because it's a great product.
