Flying Fox is, in my opinion, one of the best scented products offered at LUSH. It's the same formulation and the Lust perfume and the Yes Yes Yes massage bar.
As with any LUSH product, cruelty free, earth friendly products are always a huge selling point, and Flying Fox is no exception.
For an all natural product, it lathers amazingly well, making is an excellent body wash. The scent lingers on your skin just the right amount, leaving lovely notes of jasmine and sandalwood. It's extremely sultry and relaxing.
Similar to most LUSH products, Flying Fox is gentle on the skin and non irritating, but if you are sensitive to scents this one is a bit strong while you're using it.
Bonus, it makes a great bubble bath in a pinch.

Something many people don't know is that every eyelash curler won't work for every eyelid shape; if the curve of your curler doesn't match the curve of your lid, it won't effectively curl your lashes. A fact I wish I had known when purchasing this product.
This eyelash curler is beautiful, of excellent quality, and I love displaying it as part of my collection. An added perk of this particular curler is that it comes with a set of replacement pads to double the lifetime of the tool.
It's an excellent price, a great value. It just isn't the perfect fit for me. It is definitely worth trying, especially with Sephora's highly accommodating return policy.

This gift set of three sponges from Sephora are the closest thing to a Beauty Blender dupe I've come across yet.
Soft, shaped perfectly, and in three different sizes perfect for every area of your face, these sponges are amazing. They spread foundations, concealers, and powders flawlessly. You're left with a true airbrush finish, just as the name implies.
My only issue with them is that they stain seemingly much faster than the original Beauty Blender, but for the price that's easy to ignore.

Pixi Lash Line Ink is a tight lining eyeliner product. It has a felt tip and a marker barrel. Attractive packaging and a comparable price to similar products make it an eye catching product.
The ink quality is great, it doesn't feather or bleed, it holds its deep black color all day, it's waterproof, and can be smoked out while still wet.
The felt tip is a bit too soft for my taste though, which makes me feel as though I have less control than I would like.

This is a fairly effective Mascara.
It adds volume and length, and is a deep black color. It's a bit above the standard price of mascaras of similar quality, but it's by no means overpriced. It doesn't flake or smudge easily.
My only issue with it is that lashes tend to fall and lose their curl after a fairly short amount of time.

This has been my standby pressed powder for a number of years, primarily because it was the type of powder I was first introduced to by my mother.
It's fairly average in quality, it does a fine job of cutting shine and setting your foundation and concealer.
However, it does have a tendency to flake and look a bit cakey in direct light.
I will probably continue to use it until I find a better one in the same price range.

Drew Barrymore's Flower Beauty cosmetics line is extremely inexpensive and readily available at most Walmarts.
This powder foundation is cheap, and that fact is hard to ignore - From the brittle plastic packaging to the provided brush of horrendous quality.
Cheapness aside, it gets the job done. It's blendable, medium coverage, and works well in combination with a liquid foundation for a completely flawless finish.
Unfortunately, this foundation is only available in eight shades, from white to pale orange. It does not accommodate women of color or women with olive undertones.

I'm a fairly adventurous person when it comes to my hair, I've used a lot of hair color products, from drug store to salon quality, and this doesn't hold a flame to any.
Right off the bat I knew something was amiss when the provided bleach gave less than one level of lift on virgin hair. After getting my hair to the adequate level and tone to take dye, I was disappointed that the color my hair came out wasn't at all true to the box.
The staying power was terrible, after one wash the color was half as vivid as it was initially.
For such a poor color outcome and the amount of damage the bleach did with such a small amount of lift... It was a disappointment, to say the least.
I can't stress enough that box bleach and color kits are the least effective way to achieve a look.

One of my absolute favorite matte lip products!
The NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream is excellent. The color is true to what you see, it has excellent pigmentation, and there's a fantastic selection to choose from. The product itself is non-drying, pleasantly scented, and it doesn't bleed.
The price per tube is amazing for the product quality, almost unmatched in other matte lip products of similar caliber.
