Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Mascara
This mascara was alright, but it didn't wow me. I decided to try it after reading a lot of reviews saying that it gave them big, fanned-out lashes. It didn't do that for me. It made my lashes look thin and spidery, and definitely didn't fan them... +
This mascara was alright, but it didn't wow me. I decided to try it after reading a lot of reviews saying that it gave them big, fanned-out lashes. It didn't do that for me. It made my lashes look thin and spidery, and definitely didn't fan them out. It's not the worst I've tried - it works - it's just not anything special. -

I tried this mascara after I heard everybody raving about it. It's awful! First of all, no mascara is worth that much money, especially when there are much better options for so much less. The formula itself is awful. It's so dry that it barely transfers onto your lashes, and it makes them all stick together so that it looks like you have a total of about 5 lashes. The wand is huge - way too big for application - and it's really spiky and scary looking. 10 out of 10 DON'T recommend! Awful. -

I had a Speck CandyShell case for each of my previous iPhones and I loved them. They really do a good job of protecting your phone. I bought one for my iPhone 6 about 3 or 4 months ago, and am so sad to report that it's broken. Previous models of the case had some sort of mechanism for putting it on your phone (it snapped, came apart, etc.). The case for the iPhone 6 doesn't - you're supposed to just snap it in. I was so hesitant in putting it on my phone. I really thought my phone was going to break, but after watching Speck's video, I realized I was doing it just the way they were and I finally got the phone in. Getting it out was a nightmare, but I finally did it. I went to put it back on the other day and the edge of the case completely cracked. At such a steep price, $35-$40USD, I don't think this is acceptable. According to the website, all cases are backed by a 1-year warranty. I've emailed the company hoping to take advantage of the warranty so we'll see what happens. For that much money, I expect better. Especially since my standards for this case were high as I've had such love for them previously! -
Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF 15

This is one of my favorite foundations. It's supposed to give light coverage that mimics skin - it totally does. This stuff makes your skin look so smooth and so beautiful, almost lit from within. I wouldn't say this is "glowy" but it definitely looks skin-like and is by no stretch matte. The shades in this range lean slightly yellow. The price is up there, but the quality makes it worth it, in my opinion. My only complaint about this is that it is NOT long-wearing at all. Around 4 hours, it's completely worn off my nose and I'm pretty shiny. I honestly don't mind because it looks so gorgeous on. I highly recommend trying it out! -

These pencils are hit and miss for me. I really love the huge color selection - they're all so rich and creamy (with a few exceptions, in my experience). My issue with these is that some shades really irritate my eyes. For example, whenever I wear Perversion, my eyes burn and itch and go totally bloodshot. I have also experienced this with Zero, the other black shade, but never any other color. I'm not sure what the deal is, but I've heard others say this too. I'd say that if you have sensitive eyes or if you're concerned, stay away from at least those colors. Other than that, these pencils are great. Worth a try! -

This is my favorite liquid makeup remover. It's the best at removing mascara! This stuff is gentle and effective. I've dried house versions of this makeup remover but nothing compares. All generic brands seem to irritate my eyes, but Neutrogena's doesn't. It only takes a little bit to remove all your eye makeup - waterproof and all. It claims that there's "no oily residue" but I disagree. Other than that, this stuff rocks! -

I feed my German Shepherd the Purina Pro Plan Sport dry dog food. Once or twice a week, I add wet dog food to my dog's dry food just to give him a special treat. When I found these "additions," I decided to try them. This particular kind comes in 4 flavors - chicken, beef, apple & oatmeal, and berry. These are purees in a pouch with a twist off cap, and once opened, you can refrigerate them for up to 48 hours (according to the package). My dog is about 100lbs., so I usually mix one entire package in with his food, for a dog any smaller, you could easily get away with using one package twice. My dog loves these (his favorite is the oatmeal & apple) and I love that the ingredients are almost all natural (the ingredients of each flavor differ - read carefully). These don't upset his sensitive tummy, they don't break the bank (catch them on sale often!), and they're a nice (and convenient) treat. Love these! -

I couldn't give this product a worse review. I hate it. The Amazing Cosmetics concealer is widely loved so I thought I'd give this a try as well. I was expecting a smooth, velvety finish but I couldn't have been more wrong. This stuff is constantly separating regardless of constant mixing. It goes on so blotchy and continues to separate even as you're applying it. It's so greasy/oily, separates on my face and just looks gross! I hate this stuff so much and it's not worth a single penny! -

This moisturizer is hit and miss for me. The price is steep ($40USD) but I really like that it's formulated without all those common bad-for-you ingredients. This looks, sounds, and smells amazing, but it just didn't live up to my expectations. I have fairly normal skin, maybe slightly combination if anything. I feel like this doesn't absorb. It's sort of greasy feeling and it just sits on top of my skin. I don't feel like it hydrates, it just slicks me up. I'm disappointed because I love so many other products from Origins. I want to love this too, but I don't! -

I was really disappointed in this product. I got mine in a limited edition flavor called "The Kiss" around Valentine's Day. It smells great, but I'm not a huge fan of the taste - I'd rather wipe it off than lick it off as the instructions say to do. The packaging is nice and you do get a lot of product, but I feel like it's just a jar of flavored sugars and salts, and therefore not worth the price.
This scrub gets kind of messy. It's hard to get product on your finger and it's hard to keep it on your lips while you scrub. I don't know what it is about this, but it doesn't really get the dry skin off my lips. It doesn't moisturize either, so I feel like it's just a huge waste.
If you're on the market for a scrub, I highly recommend the e.l.f. lip exfoliator - it's great!
