I was quite displeased with this product. I got it in "Feelin' Rosy", a lovely reddish pink color. I expected this lip stain to give subtle color and last all day, but that wasn't the case. I found it to be very drying on the lips, even when I topped it off with a moisturizing lip balm. The color was gone in under an hour. Also, the product itself is not very long lasting at all - I only used it a few times and the tip is already drying out. Very disappointed. -
Maybelline New York Colossal Volum' Express Mascara

This mascara makes my short, sparse eyelashes long and thick without clumping! It has a big brush but is easy to apply with. The downside? It smudges, giving me those dreaded raccoon-eyes. And since it's waterproof, it is a PAIN to take off. Even after using waterproof eye make-up remover, I feel like there are still traces of this mascara on my lashes. -
COVERGIRL LashBlast Length Mascara
This mascara was okay, but I didn't love it. It didn't do much in terms of length OR volume. Despite its claims, it did flake at the end of the day which irritated my eyes. It didn't smudge, though, and the brush is nice and thin, easy... +
This mascara was okay, but I didn't love it. It didn't do much in terms of length OR volume. Despite its claims, it did flake at the end of the day which irritated my eyes. It didn't smudge, though, and the brush is nice and thin, easy to apply with. Also, it dries fast on your lashes, which I like, because there is nothing I hate more than wet, sticky mascara. Overall, this mascara offers subtle length, and it might be nice if you're going for a natural look. -

I have very thin, short, barely-there lashes, which is why I picked out this product. I used it every night before going to bed; you can also put some on in the mornings before you put on mascara, but I didn't. Applying the serum is easy, just use the curved applicator like you would mascara and trace some along your lashlines as well. I even put some on my bottom lashes even though the directions said not to...hehe! Your lashes will feel wet until it dries, but if you get some in your eyes (which I did often), it does not sting/hurt at all and had no adverse reactions to my eye. However, when it dries, it leaves little white flakes on your eyelashes (which are easily covered with mascara).
I saw results after about four weeks, my eyelashes did not get much longer, but I seemed to have a lot more lashes and each individual lash was thicker! The results are subtle but definitely there. I have been using this product almost every night for about there months and there's still a lot of serum in the tube.

This is my favorite face mask! It really shrinks my pores and makes my face super smooth and clean! It is refreshingly minty and tingles when you put it on. I get the one that comes in a tub; it's so easy to scoop out with your fingers and so you can apply only as much as you need. You can't beat the price, too! I don't recommend it for people with dry or tight skin, however. -
Physicians Formula Light Bronzer

This is a pretty decent bronzer. I put it in the hollows of my cheeks to make my face look thinner. It blends well and is not sparkly or gaudy looking, it is very natural. However, when I apply it on my nose, forehead, and chin to get an all-over glow, it kind of makes me a bit orange-y.
What's nice about the packaging is that you can flip the bronzer part up to reveal a mirror and a compartment with a small, flat brush!! It's a nice surprise, but then you see that there's really not a lot of product in there.

Well, I've been wanting to try the "tube" mascara for a while...so I finally went and got Beauty Tubes. It's a bit pricier than other drugstore mascara brands, but not by much. What I love about this mascara is that it will not smudge or flake off during the day and is a snap to remove in the shower! I love seeing the little tubes wash off in warm water. It comes with a white primer side which really lengthens your lashes and a black side that creates the tubes. When I'm in a rush, I just use the black side. And sometimes I use the white primer to add length and finish with a volumizing mascara, like Covergirl Lash Blast. The trick is to apply the black mascara immediately after you apply the primer--don't wait for it to dry, or it will clump. Overall, this mascara adds amazing length (but not much volume) and would be great for an everyday, natural look. Definitely worth a try. -

I love this eyeshadow in Amethyst. It is such a beautiful color. I actually like applying it over my eyeliner on my top lashline with the sponge applicator that it comes with. It does fade by the end of the day, but at least it doesn't smudge under your eyes or crease! Why get an expensive brand when you can get this cheap but effective version at the drugstore? -

I have this in Strawberry Fizz, a light pink with sparkly swirls. It looked REALLY pretty in the tube, I just had to have it! But this turned out to be one of my least favorite lip gloss of all time. It's so sticky, I can't even open my mouth! (well, that's an exaggeration, but still. pretty sticky.) And it's way too sparkly and smells overly sweet, like cotton candy. -
Eye Enhancers 3-Kit Shadows in Firecracker
I got this in Firecracker because I really like the pink/lime green combo. It's so springy! Plus I though I could use the white as a highlighter on my brow bone and in the inner corner of my eyes. I've tried the Covergirl Eye Enhancers 1-Kit... +
I got this in Firecracker because I really like the pink/lime green combo. It's so springy! Plus I though I could use the white as a highlighter on my brow bone and in the inner corner of my eyes. I've tried the Covergirl Eye Enhancers 1-Kit eyeshadow in Sapphire Sparkle and i was pleased with how pigmented it was. Well, not Firecracker. It hardly showed up, even when I applied with water. Not worth your money. -
