I've been using this mascara for close to a month now and so far I think that it is a pretty good everyday mascara. It promises 14X more volume and although I do think that it gives my eyelashes more volume, I think that there are mascaras out there that do a better job. I like that it has collagen in it to give my lashes more volume and keratin to strenghten them. I also like how it fans out my lashes and makes it look like I have more lashes. It also works well with just one coat and still looks very natural. However, if I want my lashes to have more drama I would probably use something else that would also lengthen and curl my lashes. I like that fact that it doesn't flake and it is easy to remove. Also, it usually doesn't clump; however, when applying multiple coats I have noticed that every once in a while it will clump a little bit. So, like I said It is a nice little go to mascara, but I think there are other mascaras out there that do more for my lashes. But I would probably repurchase it again. -

This mascara was really a disappointment. Overall, I like maybelline mascaras, but this one is definitely not a keeper. The wand was rather large, and it made my lashes clumpy and spidery. I also didn't like the fact that it didn't do well with multiple coats and it also flakes quite a bit. It just didn't give me the "colossal" lashes that is promises. But even more so than that, I'm not sure if it was the one that I got, but the scent was so strong and off-putting that it made my eyes water. The mascara itself also seemed to irritate my eyes and I had to stop wearing it. I tried a couple different times to see if it was just a coincidence, but it seemed to bother me each time. I know of some people that really like this mascara and are happy with it, but it is not a product that I can personally recommend and I wouldn't purchase it again. -

This is a great little facial exfoliator, especially for the price. I use it about 2 times per week and I keep it in my shower. I love using it, the scent is a wonderful apricot scent that helps waken me up and is quite refreshing. It works pretty good and I like the fact that I can feel the granules exfoliating my face, without being harsh. After I wash it off, my face feels wonderfully soft and refreshed. Like I said, it is a great exfoliator that I would definitely recommend and you can't beat the price. -

I love MAC's fluidline gel eyeliner in Blacktrack! I have been using this eyeliner for years and it works wonderfully! It gives the eyes a nice sleek look that you just cannot achieve with a pencil. It is easy to achieve the cat-eye affect with this eyeliner as well. It is a true black color, that goes on easily and stays on throughout the day. it doesn't smudge or wear off. I can also apply it to my water line and it doesn't irritate my eyes. I also like the fact that it doesn't dry out, like some other similar eyeliners and lasts me several months. It is a product I would absolutely recommend and will continue to re-purchase over and over. -

I absolutely love MAC paint pots, but in particular Painterly. It is the base that I use almost daily when applying eye shadow. Before I used this, I had tried countless products that just never did the trick. I have fair skin and I've always had a harder time, getting eye shadows to show up true to color. This works amazing as a base, it provides a blank canas for my eye lids and also, since it is about the same color as my skin, it covers up any darkness or veins on my eyelids. There are times however, that it can crease on you. But usually I don't have that problem, but at times I use urban decay primer potion underneath, which can help. I do that especially during the winter when my eye lids get a little drier. The paint pot goes on smooth and really brings out the true color of eyeshadows. It is also easy to blend eye shadows when using this as a base. It is a product that I absolutely recommend and one that I have re-purchased time and time again and will continue to. If you are having issues getting your eye shadows to show up, I would suggest looking into the paint pots. There are some other alternatives, depending on your skin tone.

I've had this mascara for about 3 months now and I have to say that I really like it. At first, I wasn't crazy about it, but the more I used it, the more it grew on me. First off, the formula is a little more wet than I was used to. However, now I don't really even notice that anymore. Secondly, I really love the wand, it is quite small and thin, which makes it easier to get to all of my lashes. It also has small little spikes, which grab the lashes and allow you to easily apply mascara from root to tip. This helps give my lashes volume and length and helps them hold their culr. I find it works better than most drugstore mascaras that I have tried and I have tried quite a few of them. As for the vibrating portion of this mascara, I think that it is completely unnecessary. I think that you end up paying more for the simple fact that it is a vibrating mascara. It is just a little gimmicky to me. I can do without the vibrating portion and in fact, I don't even use it. Whenever I would though, it tended to clump my lashes. So overall, I really like this mascara, but it would probably by smart to wait for a bogo deal when picking it up because it can be a little pricier than the other drugstore mascaras. -

I bought Nars Deep Throat blush a few months ago and I am really loving it. I have quite fair skin and this is a perfect blush for my skin tone. As pinks tend to look better on fairer skin and corals tend to look better on people with tan/olive skin tones, I find that I prefer this blush to Nars Orgasm. It doesn't require much product to show up on my skin and the result is a really nice pink flush to my cheeks. I have used other Nars blushes before and this one is definitely my favorite. I have also noticed that these blushes last quite a long time. I have been using this particular one frequently since I received it and you wouldn't even be able to tell. This is a really high quality blush and completely worth the money. I would definitely recommend it, especially to anyone that has fair/light skin. -
