This mascara is okay. If you like a natural, defined, fluttery look this mascara will impress you. There's a time and a place for that, but I like my mascara to make me look like I'm wearing falsies.
My problem with this mascara is that it sucks at building volume. It'll give you length and definition, but the volume just isn't there. If this mascara gave me volume, I would adore it.
The brush is easier to use than I imagined it to be. I like the fact that it's curved. The brush prevents the mascara from being clumpy.
The mascara washes off easily and does not flake on me.
I would not repurchase this mascara again. It's just not dramatic enough for me. And it's more expensive than the mascara's in Maybelline's Volum' Express line and Lash Sensational line and those mascaras perform much better for a better price.

I really adore this primer. It does a really nice job of making my lashes thick and defined! And it saves me time in my morning routine.
The price of this product is fantastic. The cheapest I've seen it offered is $5.96 which is fantastic considering how expensive L'Oreal mascaras usually are.
This primer is quite white and the brush deposits a lot of product onto the lashes. The primer makes my lashes feel really soft! So I have to use super black mascara to cover up the primer.
This primer thickens my lashes much more than mascara by itself. I find I don't have to spend a lot of time in the morning applying mascara because I don't have to keep building and building to get the look I want.
This primer doesn't add a lot of length, but it does add a considerable amount of volume and definition. I don't mind it lacking in the volume department because if I don't get the length from the primer, I'll get it from the mascara.
It doesn't flake on me, or cause any mascaras I use over it to flake. It also washes off very easily.
I love this stuff, because it gives me the dramatic, luscious lashes that I crave.

I have combo oily skin and generally prefer a matte foundation that controls oil and offers light to medium coverage.
I have this foundation in the shade 320 Soft Sable which is a very good match for my NW45 skin.
The foundation has a thick consistency but blends very easily into my skin. It blend really well, regardless of the tool I use, be it a blending sponge, a brush or my fingers. The coverage is light (lighter than the Cover Girl outlast foundation) and the foundation sets to a matte (but still skin-like, it doesn't look cake-y) finish. It doesn't have a smell or anything.
I do think this foundation controls my oil to an extent. It prolongs how matte my skin will look, but it doesn't keep it from looking shiny all day. It feels very lightweight on my skin.
I do wish it kept me matte longer but this is the foundation I always find myself going back to. I love how weightless it feels, the shade match, the coverage, the finish, and the price as well. I've finished an entire tube of this foundation and I know it's going to be one of my go-to foundations.

This stuff is a godsend. I have 4A/B kinky coily hair, so my hair is prone to tangles. I used this stuff back when I was a kid, and I still use it now. This detangler is one of the few products that will successfully allow me to wrangle my hair. It smells amazing - like freshly cut pears - and feels hydrating on my hair without leaving it weighed down. There are other detanglers out there, but I always come back to this one because it's inexpensive and effective. -

I've purchased these lip balms many times over and I always end up going back to them because Baby Lips are my favourite tinted lip balms. I find them lightly hydrating, glossy and slightly tinted. The shades from the Electro Baby Lips line are more pigmented but the original baby lips lip balms have SPF in them.
My favourite shade is Cherry Me which provides a nice wash of pinky red and smells like cherries.
One thing I don't like about these lip balms is the fact that they feel so thin. Sometimes they feel a bit greasy. Aside from that I really like these lip balms.

I was so excited to try this mask out. All of the bloggers were raving about how good it smells. I was expecting something great when I opened the package and I was sorely dissapointed. This stuff smells exactly like paint with a touch of sweetness and a heavy, wooden almond note. It's not pleasant unless you like the scent of paint.
I got two uses out of one mask packet. This mask is thick, creamy and white. It burned a lot when I put it on which isn't out of the norm for montagne jeunesse masks and the way they react on my skin. Then the burning sensation was replaced with a cooling sensation.
This mask doesn't dry like a typical clay mask. It stays creamy. Rinsing it off, my skin felt soft and hydrated.
I like this mask, I just wish it didn't burn my skin or smell like paint.

I purchased this product from my local beauty supply store for around $6, regularly it retails for $10. I purchased the version for oily skin which would offer a matte finish without exacerbating oily skin. I applied this fade cream to the dark spots on my face only (not all over) twice a day, once during the day after cleansing before moisturizer and makeup and once again at night.
After nine weeks I saw results. My dark marks were lightly faded but the skin around my dark marks had lightened considerably. I decided to discontinue use at that point. So the cream worked, just not as I hoped it would.
The cream is thick and white and smells exactly like rubber bands. It absorbed quickly and dried to a matte finish.

This scrub isn't gentle but it works to get those tough to get off flakes. This lip scrub is perfectly rough, if that makes sense. It's harsh enough to get the job done but not so rough that its painful to use and makes my lips bleed. For gentle exfoliation I'd use the Lush bubblegum lip scrub, but for more of a deep exfoliation, I'd rather use the e.l.f. lip scrub. The exfoliator is a bit dry and I find it glides better if I put a little lip balm on first and then scrub my lips with this thing.
I like the the idea of a lip scrub that comes in a bullet form, but the texture of the scrub isn't solid enough to prevent it from leaning in the base when I use it to scrub my lips. Every time I use the scrub I'm afraid the bullet is going to snap off.
The lip scrub has a nice brown sugar smell but it tastes absolutely positively awful. It tastes bitter like I accidentally got perfume in my mouth so I avoid letting my tongue taste it as much as possible.
Aside from the taste and the unstable bullet, I really really like this lip scrub.

The cute colours and SPF caught my attention. I bought the four pack set that comes with the limited edition Peaches and Cream flavour (it's been limited edition since 2006 or something so I'm skeptical). The scent on these lip balms all made me feel nauseous except for the tropical fruit one. These lip balms didn't sink into my lips at all, I feel like it just sat on top. Once these wore off, my lips didn't feel more hydrated than before I put them on. Thankfully the SPF in it didn't make my lips white, that was the only plus. -

This is a really lovely lip balm. It smells like vanilla and has a very creamy, somewhat thick texture. It feels very nourishing and hydrating on lips and really comforts my lips when they feel dry. I feel like the moisture in this lip balm sinks in, it doesn't just sit on top of my lips. And when this lip balm wears off my lips still feel hydrated. I love the fact that this lip balm is so inexpensive and so effective at what it does. -
