This product is a little pricey but I'm already hooked. The scent definitely lasts, and is such a refreshing change from the typical laundry scents. I was a big fan of the turquoise Downy scent for years, but I recently started purchasing the Gain branded equivalent and I love their scents even more! Either way you can't go wrong if you can look past the price tag. -

I've been using this powder for over a decade and it will always have a place in my makeup collection. I have tried many other comparable pressed powders by other brands but I always come back to this powder. If you use the included sponge or a flat kabuki you can get full coverage, but that's a little heavy handed for me so I tend to apply this with a large powder brush for light to medium coverage. It is quite matte, but I prefer that as I have very oily skin. Great texture, great lasting power, but my favourite thing about this powder is MACs incredible shade range. I'm used to having to settle for powders that are not quite a match, but 'good enough'. With this powder I am completely confident that its a perfect match. I actually buy 3 different shades so that I will be colour matched even during transitional seasons when I'm starting to get darker or lighter. -

I have been using these strips for years but I think the packaging changed recently because it was harder to find (I usually grab the box with level 5 whitening but they've gotten rid of the levels now). I will usually use these once every six months to a year depending on my need. They are extremely effective and noticeably whiten my teeth after just halfway through the full treatment. I get compliments all the time about my white teeth, and I drink coffee/ tea/ coke all the time so that's saying something. I also use other crest whitening products to keep my teeth white between treatments (3D white glamorous toothpaste & mouthwash), but these are an absolute must have for me. -

The wand on this mascara is just too big and unwieldy for me, it makes it very difficult for me to get my innermost lashes and lower lashes without poking myself in the eye (which is extremely painful with the stiff rubber bristles and ball at the end of this wand). The formula is alright, it takes a lot of patience and building to get the length and separation that I like which is a bit of a hassle some mornings when I'm rushing to get ready. Overall not worth it, there's plenty of better options out there. I have no idea why this mascara gets all the love that it does. -

This used to be my holy grail mascara. I used it for years exclusively, but then I started sampling other brands and formulas and forgot about it until I recently picked up another tube. Great formula, not too wet or dry, and it separates my lashes really well to give me lots of volume. Doesn't add much length, but it doesn't really claim to be a lengthening mascara. Can't go wrong with such an affordable mascara. -

This product was the first highlight I had ever tried, back before there were hundreds of highlights on the market. I'll admit I was originally drawn to it because of the amazing packaging but the product itself is great too. It's a classic champagne shade with no chunky glitter, just a great pearly shine. It's also pretty easy to customize the intensity through layering or sheering out. This is a cream formula (which dries down to a powdery finish) and I find it tricky to apply over a full face of makeup. I don't tend to reach for it these days because I prefer using powder highlighters that won't disturb my makeup during application, but that's just my preference. Overall great product. -

I bought this palette a month ago and have been using it almost daily since.
My favourite part of the palette is the new shade 'beach nectar' created by Chrissy. It's a gorgeous peachy pink shimmer that suits my skin tone perfectly (especially with my summer tan returning now).
I love the bronzer 'malibu soleil' as well. It has a subtle shimmer in the pan, but that doesn't really translate on the skin so its great for natural contouring.
The 'rose gold' highlight is nice, but it's pretty similar to 'beach nectar' which I prefer.
The blush is the only part of the palette that I'm not really thrilled about but it's not a bad product, I just don't go for intense bright blushes like this one.
One negative that I do notice is that a lot of powder is kicked up during use (with the highlighters and blush, not as much with the bronzer), which I don't notice at all with any of Becca's full sized individual products. Despite that the product applies very nicely and blends great.
Overall I think that this palette is an amazing value.
