I received this product at the Showcase event. I thought the packaging was really appealing but overall was a little unimpressed. I didn't have any immediate affects, and I actually didn't like the odour. I did like that it goes on clear, and the reviews at my table seemed favorable so I will give it another try! -
John Frieda Sheer Blonde Color Renew Tone Correcting Shampoo

This shampoo is fine - I have platinum hair, and my colour stays white-blonde for a few weeks, but it always eventually turns a bit brassy (even with repeated and continued use of this shampoo, conditioner and other related products). I still use it because why not? White-blonde is better than brassy blonde right off the bat. But I'd be willing to suggest friends look for any product along the same lines, no need to stick with this brand. -
Clinique Take The Day Off Eye Makeup Remover
I've used countless brands and types of makeup remover, but I always return to this one...it's just so easy to use! No tugging or scrubbing when I remove even the sturdiest of eye makeups. I use it on the rest of my face as well, and I've never had... +

Pros - amah-zing colour selection, like more than your brain can handle. Fantastic pigmentation, the ability to mix and blend colours to find a shade that fits. They last for ages as the smallest amount is required for wear, plus they all come with a lip brush!
Cons - a wee bit pricey and can be tricky to wear. They last all day, sure, but can be drying so moisturize! I've also found that the lighter colours feather on me a bit, so lipliner is a must. Dark colours are gorgeous but can fade and just look like a stain through out the day - not terrible, but definitely need re-applying.

This stuff is the absolute bomb for keeping your lipstick in place! A light layer on top of bright lipstick keeps my colour in place for many hours and through many meals/beverages. It's great for preserving colour that you don't want to cart around all day, and it stops transfer almost entirely. I can not recommend this enough to my friends. Dries a tiny bit tacky/sticky, but nothing bothersome. -

I received this as a gift (at my request!) because I wasn't sure it would be worth the cost. Now, six months later, can confirm: worth it. Colours are beautiful and easy to work with, and provide an array of depth so day and night looks can be achieved easily without fuss. Plus, the blend so well! And the coverage! Amazing! -
KVD Vegan Beauty Spellbinding Book of Shadows
I bought this on a whim, which is slightly insane because it is a bit pricey (but nothing outlandish for the Kat Von D line - $66 for the book). If you like colour, buy this. I find the pigmentation is a bit to get used to - some of the shadows... +
I bought this on a whim, which is slightly insane because it is a bit pricey (but nothing outlandish for the Kat Von D line - $66 for the book).
If you like colour, buy this. I find the pigmentation is a bit to get used to - some of the shadows give instant bursts of colour, while others require some layering - but I've been consistently using this since I purchased it and so far have nothing negative to say. Blends beautifully, great coverage. I also love that it gives the opportunity for a dramatic flair, but there are enough options that I can easily build a toned-down day look.

I'm not going to lie, this is a nice product. I bought it in a sample size and it lasted for a surprisingly long time. It is refreshing and moisturizing. However, I don't find it to be groundbreaking or anything new in terms of eye treatments - and I didn't notice a big difference when using it, even compared to just using an all-over face moisturizer as my "eye treatment". -

It took me a long time to invest in anything Clinique, because the price point is relatively high. Now I almost regret investing because I don't think there's any going back for me! I love this moisturizer primarily because it is extremely lightweight and not greasy at all, which is an issue I have with a lot of drug store brands. It also absorbs very quickly, or so I find, and leaves me feeling fresh and soft. The only downside I have is that it sometimes isn't enough for harsh winter weather - I've had to double up on moisturizer a few times this year. -
