I LOVE this product! I recently switched from Sephora's pencil and I was just looking for something different.
HIGHLY recommend! It's pricey, but so far I would pay again for it.
You get a nice, medium soft pencil that is a chisel shape for precision line drawing or for filling in sparse areas. I got the taupe color and it matches my hair color perfectly and I have dirty blonde hair.
It's a two in one, and also contains on the other end of the pencil, a brush for gel. There is not a lot of gel though, and it looks like I will still have more pencil then gel.
I hope that for the price, the pencil lasts long. I have used it for almost a week now, so I will be keeping track.
I am really happy with this product! I love that it's not an orangey-blonde color.

Thank you ChickAdvisor for letting me try this out!
I actually liked the mask MORE then the shampoo. The smell still wasn't amazing, but my hair felt really nice after using this. You get a lot in the tub but you don't need a lot for your hair. I was pleased with the result, except for the smell. Again, chemically.
I don't think I would purchase this unless come next winter my hair is perma-dry!

Thank you ChickAdvisor for the opportunity to review this! I have used the shampoo twice and I won't be buying it after I finish using it. I didn't find it went above and beyond and it didn't smell nice either. It smelt chemically. I felt like it did help my dry hair, but no more effectively than other products I have used.
I liked the cap if anything at all. It was easy to open in the shower!
I wouldn't recommend this I don't think.

I really like this cream liner, I bought the "cafe" color.
I like best the staying power, it does not flake and lasts allllll day (When I use Urban Decay eye primer).
The color is strong, easy to apply and very creamy.
To remove, you must use make up remover! You could go swimming with this on your eyes!
Price is great for how much product you get! Apply with an angled eye liner brush, which you can also get at Sephora.
A must have for any make up bag!

I recently purchased Marcelle's BB cream in light to medium shade, and I am very happy with the product.
BB cream, to be clear, is not a primer. Primers "prime" your face for make up, much like... er... painting a wall! Beauty Balm is supposed to improve and nurture your skin.
So far, I am happy with the coverage and the appearance of my skin. I feel like I have more of a "glow" and a natural color. It does even out the tone and coverage is good. Not the same as a foundation or concealer.
I don't like the bottle it comes in, the pump is soooooo dumb. The first time I used it, I pumped it a couple times before it got going and when it finally came out it sprayed my shirt... BAD first experience! :| It came out though in the wash. If it just came in a squeeze tube, that would be fine.
It has no SPF, how unfortunate. I have also heard that there is an SPF version in the works, but if not, I will not purchase this again. For a cream that claims to be for the better of your skin, then why no sun protection?
For the price, you get a lot of cream and a good skin product--but I would look for a an SPF BB cream or wait until Marcelle comes out with one.

I didn't even know I had problems with my cuticles but a friend told me that sometimes your nails are brittle and break easier when they don't have a healthy start. i.e. where they start to grow!
I tried this out since it was so highly recommended on this site, and I am blown away! My nails are so nice looking, my cuticles are not dry or cracked and the smell is GREAT!
Fresh and clean and so convenient.
Love love love this! Definitely recommend to anyone with nail problems and dry cuticles!

Best value so far it's the cheapest one I can find that I actually enjoy using. I love the pump, I keep it by the bed and use it every night. The smell is great and you get SO much in a bottle. Even when nothing comes out of the pump, I just store the bottle upside down and then settle into a different container and still have quite a lot left to use.
I love how much you get for this product. It lasts so long even though I slather it on. It absorbs quick and is non greasy. I use it on my hands and my body. Great bang for your buck!

Secret daughter is a story told by different characters per chapters. The writer made the characters unique enough that even if you didn't read the chapter's title (which is the name of the character) you would know who you reading about.
The story is about a husband and wife that are not able to conceive on their own and adopt a baby girl from an orphanage in India. India is where the husband is from and his family still resides there. The baby girl is not even a few days old and already has a treacherous history that her new parents save her from. When she is growing she yearns for her family history and of her real parents but her adopted parents keep her sheltered, scared they may lose her. The young girl grows up in this novel and makes a trip to india to find her father's family.
The other parts of the story touch on her biological parents and their hardships in India, and also of the Husband's parents and the Indian traditions that they uphold.
The trip across the world seemingly divides the family, but curiously enough brings about changes and new beginnings that you don't see coming.
This story made me sad, it made me happy and it made me miss my mom :)
Not a challenging read, a real page turner! I am sure some people would disagree and this paints all adopting family the same, as they are often portrayed as dysfunctional, but this is not a story of anger, it's of discovery.
Check this out if you feel like reading about another world!

Thank you ChickAdvisor and Oral B for letting my try this out!
DEFINITELY recommend! I was firstly really impressed with the sleek design and the actual brush head. It looks and feels like a regular tooth brush. I have used the oral-b power toothbrushes before, but I didn't like all the moving parts on the head. This one is so comfortable to use!
This brush comes with two settings, for cleaning and for a sensitive clean. The regular clean is AMAZING, my mouth felt SO dentist fresh, I was SO impressed. It has a built in timer so that you can evenly clean each quadrant in your mouth for the professional clean. The timer is just a short stutter on the tooth brush to indiciate time to move on!
The sensitive setting is for cleaning your gums, tongue and if you have dentures etc. I like this setting at the end because the vibration is a little uncomfortable on my tongue and sides of my mouth using the cleaning setting. Just one press of the button and you move to sensitive, one more press and it's off!
I like that the charging base can be mounted to the wall! I will be doing that soon! The other thing I like about the charging station is how sleek it is and how the tooth brush merely touches the station and it begins to charge. I believe it said a whole charge will keep the brush working for 30 cleaning sessions.
It comes with a s small brush for cleaning your gum line too. My husband is going to pick up another brush head so he can use it too. The charging station has a spot for the extra brush that came with it and for another brush head, all conveniently together on the smallest charge base for a toothbrush that I have seen.
It says that you will also see a whiter smile, I haven't noticed that yet, but I definitely feel like I have been to the dentist after.
I think this would be a great Christmas gift for someone who doesn't have a power brush. It will change the way you feel about oral health... I actually look forward to brushing my teeth!

I tried this mascara as a sample and used the whole thing up!
I really liked it as it didn't cause irritation, appeared to be unscented (as most of their products are) and it went on easy and creamy. I found that my eye lashes were soft all day and it didn't smudge toooooooo much.
I like the brush, but it's big so it's tricker to use if you are used to a more precise brush. That being the case I found that it didn't really separate.
The color was great.
Downside is the price for me. I enjoyed using it, but once it was empty I went back to my usual choice.
