I'm torn on this one - the pigmentation is insane, and it looks great on, but there are some serious downsides. It can be very difficult to blend, and you most definitely have to use a sponge or fingers because it's dense. I've purchased it in two different colours, both had amazing depth to them, but it just wasn't worth my time to make sure they were blending nicely on my face. Plus, the second one I purchased had some quality control issues with the packaging - the black paint flecked off the top almost immediately, it never pumped properly, and the blush itself looked as though it had separated (i.e., oil/water look). Wanted to love it, didn't. -

I bought this on sale, so the price for me was amazing - I'm fairly sure regular price is a decent price point as well though! Love how it made my skin look, matte finish was beautiful. Only complaint was that it was almost TOO powdery, if possible. I always had to tap out my brush a few extra times because it would be so full of powder, and I feel like I lost a lot of the product this way. Overall though, happy with it. -

I bought this totally as a fluke and I'm happy I did, because I would definitely recommend it. It is serious about the clump crushing. I haven't had any issues with the wand or the mascara, my eyelashes stay separate and clean looking after application. Plus, I've never had any issues with it getting on to my eyelids - a problem I've had with a few brushes that can really ruin perfect eyeliner. I've also noticed it dries really quick, which I love ... or maybe I've just been sneezing less immediately after application :) -
I can not stress enough how amazing this lipstick is! I'm normally a bit wary of reds as they don't mesh well with my skin tone - I usually end up looking way too washed out. The amazing thing about this lipstick is that the shade has brown and blue... +
I can not stress enough how amazing this lipstick is! I'm normally a bit wary of reds as they don't mesh well with my skin tone - I usually end up looking way too washed out. The amazing thing about this lipstick is that the shade has brown and blue undertones that make it incredibly rich - but also warm and deep. I love how it looks on, and I think it's great for an array of skin tones. Plus, all of the proceeds go to the MAC Aids Fund so that's an even better reason to invest. Oh, and I should mention - it's matte (amazing) but it doesn't dry out the lips like some other matte shades can! No tugging when applying! -
Love this. Lasts for a long time, tip doesn't get worn out or anything with use - so my 100th eye looks as pristine as my 1st.

I feel kind of "meh" about this product. I didn't have many blemishes to begin with and bought it to add to my daily skin care routine. Price was average, amount of product is average. Product itself is just totally average. I haven't notice a significant change in my skin - I wasn't expecting much - but what I have noticed is that my usual normal yet sensitive skin has become extreme combination skin. Not sure if it's a direct result of this product, but I have never been so greasy and dry at the exact same time. -

I have very sensitive skin, and I switched to this moisturizer after having a reaction to new makeup. Not the best time to try a new moisturizer, I know, but I felt like I was running out of options. Within a week, the dry flaky skin resulting from my reaction was significantly reduced, and I felt like my skin was looking more radiant. I've been using this as my go-to moisturizer since, and have been more than pleased with it. It goes on light, it doesn't irritate my skin, it's convenient and there's a lot of bang for your buck because the tubs are huge! I've even converted my non-moisturizing boyfriend in to a CeraVe user. -

Disclosure: I was chosen to receive this product free to test.
I was excited to be chosen to review the DQ online ordering system and, more importantly, a DQ ice cream cake. Originally, when I was chosen, I had planned on ordering my cake as a welcome home event for a family member. After much deliberation, I decided that it was a better idea to order the cake and not share it with anyone, with the exception of my boyfriend. Obviously, I was not thinking with my waistline – but still, no regrets!
I found there to be a vast amount of cake options available from the DQ location I chose (but it varies between locations) and was almost overwhelmed with making a choice! However, the online system was extremely easy to navigate, and I soon settled on a traditional DQ cake with a cute summer design. The only potential downside of the online ordering system was a 3 day wait time between ordering and availability of the cake.
Picking up the cake was very simple – but the cashier requested my order form/receipt, which I had not printed (no instructions to do so). The situation was easily resolved, but for future reference, you may want to bring confirmation of your order with you to the store.
The cake itself was totally delicious but also, it’s ice cream so it’s hard to be terrible! I did find our cake was a little bit messy – the middle layer was missing some of the fudge that would have held it all together, and we barely had any chocolate. I’m confident that any shortcomings in the actual cake were related directly to the location I chose, and we still devoured it, so I am confident that I will order again from DQ, and most likely through the online ordering system as long as I have time. I would absolutely love to try to a Blizzard cake in the future!

I would say this is worth it because it is so cheap compared to other powder options. I've used it as a base for foundation, but also for touch ups during the day, and been relatively pleased with the results (reduced shine, nice glow, etc.). There are, however, only three colour options so it may be a hit-or-miss purchase for some. I went with translucent, which isn't actually translucent, and it works well for me because I am pale to begin with. -

I rushed in to a drug store and bought this on a whim, during a particularly dry week. I only picked it up because it was on sale, but regular price is also reasonable. Seriously - best ever for dried/chapped lips. Within a day or two I noticed a massive difference, and I have been using it religiously ever since. Goes on smoothly, is clear, long-lasting and doesn't leave you with a heavy feeling on your lips. Plus, the mint is nice! -
