I'm not gonna lie, this is great mascara, but I'm not crazy about spending almost $40 bucks on mascara. I don't mind spending money on a quality product, but you can get just as great mascara from Clinique or Lancome for way way cheaper.
Anyway, this mascara is very natural looking & gives you great looking lashes. I know some people love the new rubber brush, but it actually hurts my eyes a bit -- it's a little spikey. And while it does lengthen my lashes, it doesn't thicken them as much as I would hope. I think it's because it has a rubber brush instead of a classic, plush, "pipe cleaner"-style brush. Also, I find that I need to apply like a zillion coats to get the results I want.
Overall, a good mascara, but if you are broke & don't have the disposable income to spend, it's not worth it.

I have been buying Urban Decay eyeshadow for years, but I recently bought this deluxe set for my sister for Christmas. It's so great! The colors are extremely vibrant and fun, they go on smooth & have a very soft texture. These are great eyeshadows to wear to parties, and even out during the day (if you can pull it off!). The price isn't too bad considering (a) how much eyeshadows you get in the kit, and (b) the fact that it's Urban Decay. Great quality, although there is some smudging/creasing, even with the included Primer Potion. You may need to reapply after a few hours so you don't look like a hot mess. -

So not worth the money!
You can order the "starter kit" for $19.99, but after that, each box costs upwards of $45!
Aside from the price, the product itself was mediocre and did not clear up my skin. It pretty much just sucked all the moisture out of my skin -- my face was red, irritated, and hurt quite a bit! I found over-the-counter drugstore cleansers to be much more effective (and at a fraction of the cost).

I was hesitant about this product at first; I expected it to be cheap and a waste of money, but boy! was I wrong. I love this stuff! If you love exfoliating your skin, this is the face wash to get. It's all-natural and the super-grainy scrub feels great. My skin feels "polished" and ultra-smooth after using this. My skin is prone to break-outs and can be oily, and this really cleared my skin up. It reduced my pore size and gave my skin an over-all smoother appearance.
You can find this scrub at most grocery stores and drugstores; I believe it runs about $7, but I've found it for only $4 at Walmart!
I absolutely recommend this product.

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin-E & Peppermint
Love this stuff! About the same price as Chapstick, but wayyy better! It's all-natural, so there's no harsh or reactive chemicals. I believe it's main ingredients are beeswax & menthol. It's great for everyday use because it softens... +
Love this stuff! About the same price as Chapstick, but wayyy better! It's all-natural, so there's no harsh or reactive chemicals. I believe it's main ingredients are beeswax & menthol. It's great for everyday use because it softens your lips, and is also great for chapped lips in dry weather. I like to use it over lip stain (or blotted lipstick) because it seals in the color and gives you just the right amount of shine. -

I bought this Jergens Natural Glow lotion at my local CVS drugstore; I think I paid about $8 for it and I should have just saved the money. First of all, this lotion stinks...literally! The smell is SO overwhelming. I realize that self-tanners smell, but this stuff is ridiculous. I used this my freshman year in college and would apply it after toweling off from my shower. My room smelled like I painted the walls with it. Also, it would take forever to "set" -- you had to rub forever to absorb it in the skin and after that I felt like I couldn't touch anything because I was so sticky. Not to mention that you have to apply it like every single day to keep your color up.
You get an okay color tone from the lotion, but it is just not worth the time, effort, or money. You're better off visiting your local tanning salon.

I've been using Clinique products for over six years; I don't buy make-up from drugstores. Clinique has great quality products at reasonable prices. Their quality is comparable to higher end make-up brands (Chanel, Dior, etc.), but are less costly. All of their products are hypo-allergenic, which is great for me because I have super sensitive skin. Clinique High Impact Mascara is awesome because it washes off with just water, but somehow stays on during a sad movie or a day at the beach. I buy it in Black and it's a great day-to-night mascara -- subtle enough to wear to class or work, but pretty enough to wear out to dinner or downtown. The only reason I gave it half stars is because if you let it sit around & don't use it, it can get too sticky or clumpy. Other than that, a great product. -
