Maybelline New York Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eye Liner

Easy to apply for those who, like me, are pretty novice to gel liners. Sometimes this smudged too much over the day to look appropriate in my workplace (a heavier more smokey-eyed appearance than the crisp and professional look that I am after). I also found that the container dries out very quickly, leading to dry, clumpy eyeliner and the need for a fresh purchase. -

This hand salve is the best fix for dry, chapped, and cracked skin! My skin becomes extremely dry in the winter and between food preparation and diaper changes I make this worse when I wash my hands mega frequently. I have tried many creams and treatments over the years but now this is the only one I buy.
The smell is a bit much for me and seems medicinal, so I prefer to apply this at night in a large daily dose instead of at work or in public, unless my hands are very cracked. Also, when my hands are very raw, I experience some stinging when applying this, but it is well worth it given how intensively and quickly that it promotes relief and repair.

This powder is great for my combination skin. I have tried many more popular and higher end powders and this is my favourite by far. It helps to set makeup and control oil in the t-zone without appearing cakey or dry and I find it very affordable.
My only complaint with this powder is that without fail it breaks in the compact when it is running low. This is without dropping it - just using it and carrying it in a makeup bag. When exactly it breaks is always a messy surprise and I would be better off just replacing it when it gets low.

This BB cream seemed great based on other reviews but it just doesn't work with my fair skintone. This gives an orange cast to my face even in the fairest shade. I find it especially looks orange where skin is dry, but hoped with the moisturizer in this BB that would resolve as the skin was repaired. However, this just doesn't have enough moisturizing properties to combat the dry parts of my combination skin.
This cream also turns quite orange if overly applied, so if you do manage to find the right tone for your skin, be careful to apply it evenly.

Wow! This product really works! My baby had eczema in patches on his back from the time he was 5 months old. I really wanted to avoid a cortisone cream if at all possible but the dry red patches either reappeared quickly or failed to improve at all when I used traditional baby lotions and natural oils (e.g. coconut).
I thought I would have to give up and get a prescription but then decided to make one more trip to the drugstore. I was hesitant to purchase this because of the relatively steep price compared to other baby lotions but I am so glad that I did. When I started using this after 3 months of no success with other products, it seemed like a miracle. All of his dry patches were cleared up within days!
Now, all I do is reapply where dry spots start to form. We even went away for a week without this and the eczema came back very quickly - totally resolved again after using this cream.
I highly recommend this product and am so thankful that it gave back comfortable skin to my little guy!

This foundation has become a mainstay in my makeup bag. It is a great match to my skintone and I really love the way that it feels on my skin.
My only complaints about it are with its longevity and coverage. I often don't have time in my work or home life to reapply foundation during the day (sometimes I consider myself lucky to have time to apply it in the morning!) and I definitely find that this foundatiom has faded by the afternoon. Because of this, I am always searching for a similar formula that provides longer coverage - but until then, this will continue to be my foundation of choice.

I have finally found the moisturizer that I have been looking for!
This oil-control formula is perfect for my combination skin because it doesn't allow much shine to develop through my t-zone like other moisturizers do.
Also, I love that sunscreen is included with the full protection that I prefer (SPF 30) and in a safer formula than I have found in other dual purpose options.
I wish that it was a bit less expensive for a drugstore product, but the pricing is entirely consistent with what I usually pay for a good sunscreen and has the extra bonus of being a great moisturizer.
