I have this in a few shade, the one I wear most is 263 which is a light pink with a warm shimmer. It has a nice light pigment and shimmer without being over the top. It's not super shiny, more natural looking and it isn't at all sticky. It feels like a liquid balm more than a gloss. Not a long wear product but it is very comfortable. -

I has this balm in the pink tone. Its a good lip balm. IT has a nice vanilla scent. But it's not any better than the regular eosand the colour doesn't show up on my lips. It does have some shimmer though it wears off really quick. Like in less than an hour.
Overall, it does its job but it's not really worth the extra cost. Just get a regular eos balm.

Essence eyeliner pen waterproof

I LOVE this eyeliner pen. Seriously, love it. I've repurchased it at least 6 times. It lasts all day without transferring, smudging or smearing. It is super pigmented and the pen tip is bendy and flexible. And its $4! It's everything I could ever want in an eyeliner pen.
I apply this alone my upper lash line, tightlining as well, and it has never failed me. The wing lasts all day, and the pigment doesn't fade.
It says waterproof, but water resistant would be more accurate. It will last through a wedding or a viewing of the Notebook but I wouldn't wear it to the beach. That being said, it comes off a lot easier than a true waterproof eyeliner. I don't have a problem removing with with ordinary micellar water.
It does dry out in about 3-4 months, which is a bit faster that a high end liner but it's also about a tenth the price, so I am definitely not complaining about that. At $4 a pop, you could buy a new one every two weeks and it's still cheaper than using high end liners.

I use this in the colour "Plush" and though is says it is a 2-in-1 product, I use it almost exclusively as a blush. As a lip product I find it a bit dry and and transfer easily.
But for those very reason it is a great liquid blush. It goes on nicely and blends very easily with fingers. It leaves beautiful flushed look that is perfect for no-makeup days or when you just want a little pop of something. It's not overly pigmented so it's nearly impossible to screw up with this product.
I apply three TINY dots along my cheek bone and blend with my fingers, concentrating the colour on the apple of my cheeks. It looks very natural and pretty.
Its worth picking up next time you are at the NYX studio and tossing in your bag for when you need a little pick me up.

I used to love the body shop products but in the past 10 years the quality has gone down. This is could not be more obvious with the shea body butter. It does nothing for me. It is think and sticky but doesn't moisturize. I put it on my legs after shaving and a couple hours later my skin feels tight and dry.
Save your money and buy a tin of Nivea.

I generally stick to all natural lip products, but this is the one non-natural base balm I use regularly.
It goes on smoothly without tugging the lips, it isn't heavy or greasy and lasts a long time without being sticky. I especially love using this at night during the winter. I put it on just before bed and my lips still feel moisturized in the morning.
In the winter my lip can feel irritated and prone to chapping (like just about every other woman in Canada;) and I get to the point where anything scented makes my lips feel like they are burned. But the Nivea balm doesn't bother me at all. There is a slight scent (like a very faint version of the classic Nivea creme smell mixed with a little vanilla) but it doesn't linger once you put it on and it isn't irritating.
I pick these up in a 2 pack for about $3 so the value is phenomenal. I can't recommend this balm to anyone whose lips need a little extra care.

I received this product for review from chuck advisor.
I tried out “nocturne it up”, a very pretty cruelly black with holographic and silver glitter. It took about three coats to build up opacity but it’s a gorgeous colour. When I used it with the top and base coat, I got four solid days of wear before I started getting some minor chipping on my dominant hand. Most conventional polishes only last 1-2 days, so I was impressed.
The base coat is fine, nothing particularly special, longevity aside and the top coat is rather thin for my prefrence but it did dry pretty quick and didn’t shrink.
Overall, it’s a wee bit of an investment to get the full system but it’s a good polish that lasts for days. This is perfect for people who like to change their polish every few days.

Holy Crap! It works! It does exactly what the package says. I was super skeptical when I first tried this product, but it really does turn any polish in to gel.
It's easy to use. Prep you nails for a gel Mani, apply base and cure, then just add in equal parts polish to gel to the little container provided, mix and apply as a regular gel. Cure times are typical and shine is great. I get at least a full week of wear (that's about average for my nails) with no chipping, peeling or wear. And no staining, even when I use a polish that typically stains my nails.
I found that for the best results, I need to use a one-coater creme polish, but it works with any polish. I got some cool results with glitter. But really pigmented cremes give the best coverage when mixed. I've used it a few times, and had the same great results every time.

This is the best dry shampoo I've tried.
Batiste dry shampoo sprayed on evenly and completely dry. It didn't leave my hair feeling sticky or tangled. I work it in to my roots and let it sit for a few minutes, then brush it out. I have chestnut hair, but I haven't noticed any white left in my hair after about a minute of brushing with my head flipped down. It does a great job of adding volume to my pin straight, fine hair too.
The cherry fragrance is my favorite, It's sweet and fruity, and subtle. If you want something with a stronger scent, this may not be the one for you and you may want to try something stronger (like the Tropical, or Blush both of which work just as well as this one, but have stronger fragrances. Especially Tropical)

I got this product for free from Chick Advisor for review.
I really liked this product. It's not the end-all-be-all of micellar waters but it does a great job and it's budget friendly. There isn't a strong scent, or harsh cleansers.
I used this to remove my everyday makeup, which includes waterproof eyeliner, and it got everything off. Even my mascara which most micellar waters don't. It felt refreshing and didn't leave a residue. It hasn't left my skin feeling irritated or congested, so over all this is a great makeup remover/cleanser.
The only thing I would change, it how it removes water proof mascara. While it got the waterproof eyeliner off with no problem on the day I used waterproof mascara I had to use another makeup remover to get it all off, but that seems to be typical of other sensitive formula micellar waters I've tried.
