I am also reviewing the tinted powder in light. I bought it in the middle of a very humid Canadian summer and my face was disgustingly oily only 2 hours after applying my makeup. I decided I needed to do something about it, and this powder was on sale for $8 CAD which is really good for Quo products. I LOVE this product. It does not sink into any fine lines, does not mill or crease on the skin and literally controls oil all day long. I don't honestly notice any colour to it, but that is fine, I didn't buy it for any coverage. And the container is huge, I have used this product everyday since July and I still am not halfway through the package. My HG powder for sure! -

So this was the 1st time I even heard of dry conditioner. And I have tried several horrible dry shampoos. But with it being only a dollar I said why not give it a try. I must admit I was very pleased with it. I have really long hair and after a couple of days the top part of my gets oily while the rest of my hair gets kinda puffy. Weird I know. So I used it exactly like I would with the dry shampoo. And wow it left my hair with a nice shine and smelled kinda like mango. Even my daughter who hates everything loved it. I would suggest just lightly spraying until your get see what fits for your hair type. Since I have thin to medium hair type a light spray will do just fine -

The commercial caught my eye!
PROS:
- long lasting
- peronally, I like the colours as I'm a big fuschia and red fan
- great price point
CONS:
- let's start that I have thicker lips...perhaps for those with thinner lips, they may have experienced less uneven spread as I did
- when applying, it has a very uneven spread, meaning that when I try to brush my lips with a thing layer, it stains so quickly that certain areas stain darker than others. The issue with this is when you try to compensate on the lighter areas, they end up staining darker than the original dark areas, and so on. Basically, it is very difficult to to achieve an even stain and gloss
- the pigments are unlike the YSL one. YSL glosses have a great pigment to it. This gloss tends to...I don't know, fade into another colour than the original application. Not sure if it is due to the post-stain or oxidations.
Unfortunately, disappointed at the quality, and I do not beliee it is the same formula or similar product than the YSL Rouge Vernis. I would not buy again, but if it works for you, great.

I really liked this bb cream! Use caution when choosing the right shade, At first I got it in "light" but it was WAY to dark and orange for me. I took it back to Walmart and exchanged it with the fair shade with no problems. While I don't have fair skin at all I found this shade to be a much better match for my skin color. This product has a fair amount of coverage, for a bb cream. It blurred my imperfections/blemishes and evened out my skin tone. It didn't look oily at all. It was easy to use and blended well. It is also fairly build-able if you have areas on your face that need more coverage. I also really liked the packaging- not messy at all. I would recommend this product only in the fair shade. Personally I think the other shades look too orange. I hope you enjoy this product :) -

I have been looking for a mascara that worked as well as "They're Real" brand for a long time because I can't afford the price of it. So I began to search and try many drugstore brands and had to keep returning because they wouldn't give that false eyelash effect, when I picked up stiletto, I did not think it would work because I had previously tried 3 other brands in the last 2 weeks. It worked Awesome. I don't know what people are talking about with the smell. Who smells your eyeballs? Seriously. It is a chemical, the company isn't going to put perfume in mascara. Anyway, this one is a keeper. I will now buy it for a very very long time! I am a couponer so I had been trying to fund something I could buy with coupons for under $9! This is it. The $9 is well worth it compared to the $23 I would spend on the previously mentioned brand. -

I use this for body cleansing, shaving, and washing my hair. For #1, it gets me clean without stripping. For #2, it allows a close shave without irritation or nicks when used with a Gillette Venus razor. For #3, it's the perfect thing for my hair (so dense and thick that most anything moisturizing enough to care for the outer layers makes my scalp break out). With this? No scalp irritation or breakouts; no greasy hair or tons of static; and I only have to use conditioner every other day. It's just right for my hair and scalp. I even get compliments on how shiny my hair is. Of course, it makes my hair smell clean, feminine and lovely. I really wish I'd tried this sooner! -
