I got this product in an Ipsy bag like two years ago. I never used it because I thought it was a mud mask. Recently, I've been having severely dry skin. I've had to put moisturizer on multiple times a day and my face still felt tight and dry. I dug this out and decided to use one night after realizing it was for hydration (don't worry, the little tube was still sealed!). First off, the smell is amazing. Second, it feels amazing. It is sooo soft and it made my skin feel great instantly. However, then came some weird sensations (tingling, cooling, even a tiny bit of stinging on my super dry forehead). I went to bed with it on and let it soak in completely overnight. I woke up the next morning and my face felt great - so moisturized, so soft, so hydrated. Since using it, I haven't had to apply moisturizer multiple times a day (i'm back to my regular routine of just applying it when I get out of the shower). Overall, I LOVE this product. It is on the majorly pricey side though so I will continue to look for other products that are similar and cheaper. But, I may purchase a small jar of it for my emergency situations! -

I purchased one of these, very hesitantly (many bad Youtube reviews about it being VERY drying). I decided to try it for myself as my first liquid lipstick. I was pleasantly surprised. First off, I ended up with a shade I would NEVER have chosen myself (the girl at the NYX store helped me pick out a shade and when she handed it to me, I thought I would hate it, but I tried it to be polite and was sooo happy I did because I ended up LOVING IT). The product can be a little drying but I just put a little lip balm over top and I was fine. I do have to touch it up occasionally but I do put lip balm on top and tend to lick my lips occasionally. It doesn't feel like a whole lot on my lips, I actually forgot I was wearing it. Overall, I really like it, especially for the price. I intend to purchase more shades! -

I really like this. I got this as a sample at Sephora upon looking for a new exfoliator. I've been having some problems when I apply my foundation where I have dry patches on my forehead. I was using the St. Ives Apricot Scrub for months and it just wasn't doing anything. I within 3 uses, my skin was so smooth and I was getting that squeaky-clean feeling you get when your dead skin is gone (I've never really had that feeling on my face before). It's a pretty big bottle for the price so it is worth it, but is definitely pricier than a drugstore item. The exfoliating material in this is so small and fine too, it's so gentle on the skin. When I first felt it, I didn't think it would do a damn thing but I was so wrong! It's amazing. -
e.l.f. HD lifting concealer

This item is awful. I usually LOVE e.l.f. products but this one is a major fail. I got Fair (the lightest shade) and the second I started blending it, the product oxidized and turned a dark medium-orange tone. It looked like I had a tanned under-eye area. It's a real shame because the consistency and coverage were really good. The drastic colour change just makes this product a major fail. -

This powder is excellent, especially for the price. I use it to bake my under-eyes and set my whole face (very lightly) and it works wonders. It gives my face a very matte appearance which I prefer. I haven't really used it with a flash camera so not entirely sure about flashback or white cast though. -

I bought this because I LOVEEE NYX products. I wanted a matte black liquid eyeliner and this was the only one of they had. I tried to on my hand and worked perfectly (DON'T BE FOOLED!!!). However, getting it to work on your eyes is a different story. You have to apply soooo much pressure, you have to hold it at a certain angle or the product won't come out at all (gravity). It doesn't come out smoothly at all and you have to do it in tiny little sections,you really can't do one continuous line with this. This takes me easily 15-20 minutes to get both eyes done nicely whereas the regular liquid liner takes me about 5-10 min to get both eyes done beautifully. I've since gone back to my old stand-by of the 'NYX collection noir liquid black liner'. -

I'm still on the fence about this product. A cream cleanser is something very difficult for me to get behind (soapy washes are generally associated with cleaning not cream). The scent is nice and light but may be too strong for some people. It washes off well and my skin felt clean, but it did leave a little residue behind. I will continue to use and see if I come around though.

I never try new deodorants at all, I have my usual brand and stick to it. However, I really like this one! It has a kind of manly scent to it (but a good manly scent). It goes on very smoothly and easily. It seems to not leave white residue on my clothes which is amazing. I like it very much!

I was not a huge fan of this cream. I am very picky with hand/body creams to begin with so I will tell you that I am a tough critic with creams. I found the scent way too strong and floral (almost a rose scent). The cream is very thick and doesn't spread very easily so you end up using quite a bit to cover the area you want. I used about a third of this tiny tin to do one calf! I also found it left my hands very greasy afterwards (even when I washed it off my hands, it left the water beads spread out on my hand that happen when you try to wash something greasy). It absorbs well after some time and does leave your skin feeling soft which are the redeeming qualities but I wouldn't purchase this again.
