I love the Mary Kay Eyesicles Vanilla eye colour! I have found it to be very versatile and goes with any skin tone. I can even use it as an eye primer and then use mineral powder eye colours over top and it helps them to stay better.
My favourite thing about this product is that you only need the tiniest bit (like the head of a pin) to do the entire eye surface. So I think this little tube will last me a very very long time! For only $13 (Cdn) I think it's a very good value for the money.
It's also non-creasing - and it's the only, and I mean ONLY, cream eye colour I've ever found that did not crease on my eye after a few hours wear.
It comes in two colours, Vanilla and Island Bronze. I have found the Vanilla, which is a light shimmery highlight shade, to be much more versatile. The Island Bronze looks good on some skin tones, but not all, which sadly includes my own.
Give it a try and I think you will be impressed!

I consider myself to be a bit of a lip balm connoisseur. I've been addicted to the stuff for most of my life. I can honestly say that the Watkins one (I have the Peppermint flavour) is one of the best I've ever used. It feels great on - excellent consistency and not too thick or too thin. Doesn't wear away really fast. Has great flavour. Better even than Burts Bees and a little bit milder a flavour.
I definitely recommend this lip balm!

Smashbox Bionic Mascara
I did like the way this looked on. However it was very difficult to remove even with the best eye make-up remover out there. Even with multiple cotton pads, I still would end up with black smudges underneath each eye (even after I was sure I got it... +
I did like the way this looked on. However it was very difficult to remove even with the best eye make-up remover out there. Even with multiple cotton pads, I still would end up with black smudges underneath each eye (even after I was sure I got it all!) I got so that I only used it on my upper lashes, but still kept having the removal problem. (and no, it is not a waterproof formula) It did make my lashes look nice and thick. I don't think it was worth the rather high price tag though and personally I probably will not buy again. -
Mary Kay Mineral Eye Shadow

I'm converted, I have to say. I was a big Lancome eye shadow person before I tried the Mary Kay Mineral Eye Colours. MK ones are way less expensive ($7.50 each in Canada, not sure the US prices). They are long-lasting and don't crease on my eyes after hours of wear. I love the new colours that came out in 2010 too - lots more iridescent shades, comparable to what Lancome or MAC offers. These colours have great pigmentation, so they can look as intense as you want, with little fading over the course of the day. (using the MK Eye Primer underneath also helps with that, but that's a different review).
My favourites right now are Crystalline, Granite, Black Pearl and Sweet Plum. I can do a fabulous smokey eye easily with these. Highly recommended.

This is my #1 Favourite Mary Kay product (and I've tried many of them).
This is why:
a) your hair doesn't get stuck in it!!!!!
b) it tastes amazing - my best description so far is like vanilla cupcakes!
c) it's long lasting - much longer than most other glosses I've tried
d) I've tried Sweet Raisin, Bronze Bliss and Gold Rush and they really all look fabulous!
Can't recommend this enough. Find a Mary Kay rep and give it a try and I promise you will love it as much as I do! (and if not for some reason, it's returnable. Seriously. How cool is that?)
