I went to sephora on april fools day and got some goooooood deals ;) if you could find any of these at your local sephora I say you should jump on it :D
the things I bought are the legally bronze set from benefit, The good to glow set from stila, and the famous shu uemura eyelash curler

so lets start with the legally bronze kit that I bought. at first I thought to myself "I'm not buying this" just because I only wanted really one thing out the entire set. But I eventually shelled out the money for it cause it really is a good deal and if you don't like it heck~ make up alley anyone? ;D

so I'ma start out with highbeam. and let me tell you this thing is love<3 as you guys know I've been using the mememe beat the blues illuminizer and it's good and all but I love that this has a pink tone to it while the other has more of a golden ish tone.

it's just like it just the colors are different. But I love both equally so I would'nt say it's a "must have" product but i would say if you don't have the mememe one I say get this :D it makes the biggest difference.

Next would be hoola bronzer. This was the main reason for me wanting this kit.

as you can see it is a pretty dark color.It's absolutely matte and has no orange undertone to it which I personally love. It comes with this werid square brush which I personally like. I know alot of people absolutely hate it but I think the shape of the brush really makes it wonderful for contouring the cheeks (which is basically all I use it for). I think everything about this product is wonderful such as the package and what not but if I had to name something I really dislike about it is that it does get alot of loose powder on the top so you kinda have to be careful with a soft product like this.like the high beam I really don't think it's a must have but it's nice to have in your collection.

as for the other two I have'nt really tried it yet so I'm not going write a review for it.

now on to stila

I got the good to glow kit for only 10 bucks!! mann it was sucha good deal I could'nt pass it up. each of these things retail for about 32 bucks so it was a steal :D I actually loveeeee the rose gold one while the bronze one I have yet to find a use for but i'm sure I find something to do with it. The rose gold makes the most lovely highlighter above the cheekbone. of course I do love liquid highlighters more but on the days where I feel lazy I would use this and bam! it just brightens your face :D

and now the best for last
the shu uemura lash curler<3

I have been using the elf lash curler before this. and it did a really good job. I mean for a buck it's really good :) but what I hated about it was that it would pinch my eyes sometimes. I think that is more targeted towards people with a crease. With this I honestly never have that problem and I think it curls alot better :D the shu uemure fits better with the eye shape i have and has'nt made any of my eyelashes fall off which is a def plus <3 i think I'ma try out the shiseido one and do a comparison soon :D

well that's all I have to say for now
I'll keep you guys posted
