Honestly, I wasn't expecting much with this liner but it wasn't bad. It is easy to use, applies rather smoothly and easily but it is not that pigmented. To achieve a solid black, you would have to go back and forth with the felt tip on your eye which could also make you more prone to mistakes if you spend that much time on one eye.
It also has this really chemically smell but you get used to it after a while.
The eyeliner doesn't smudge though but by no means is it water-resistant. If you rub it a few times, it will smudge. But if you just leave it without touching your eye, you should be fine for the day.
I recommend this for eyeliner beginners because the felt tip is great for precision and control, the wearability is decent, the liner itself is pretty inexpensive compared to other liners and it doesn't irritate the eyes.

This mascara was one of my first mascaras. Prior to purchasing this, I had never heard anything about it. It was on sale at Shoppers so I picked it up. Of course, I picked out the waterproof version because I know waterproof mascaras can hold a curl and won't immediately make my lashes go limp in twenty minutes.
So, the mascara is honestly great. It is not exceptional but it is fine. The mascara holds my curl all day. It only begins to flake when the mascara gets old (after about five to six months of use). It does add volume like it claims. It is easy to use. It isn't that lengthening. There is some length added by not much. The pigment is great (I got the black brown and it's perfect!). The wand, though, has this bendy part which you may not like because sometimes you just want to jam your mascara brush really near the roots of your lashes and have more control but really, the bendy wand doesn't affect me too much. It kind of forces you to use a lighter hand.
The mascara brush is big and fluffy and has bristles which is good for adding volume to your lashes but since the brush is so big and plush coupled with the fact that the wand is flexible, it can be hard to reach into the outer corners or inner corners of your eyes to apply mascara and have complete control over your application.

I really, really, really love this mascara. It gives great length without clumping or flaking or making my lashes look spidery. It makes my lashes look so beautiful and natural. It is also one of the cheapest drugstore mascara (and I feel like it performs better than the expensive ones). There is a very chemical odour to it but it's not too bad. And the brush's bristles don't really hug your lashes but the application is still smooth. -

The quality of this palette is amazing, especially for the price it is offered at. Every time I go into a Walmart, there are only about two palettes left on display. Some of the shimmers could be a bit more pigmented and there is quite a bit of kickback but the shadows feel buttery—not chalky at all! The colours are great for anyone to use on a day to day basis and great for beginners to experiment with. -

These fine liners are great! The colours are vibrant and there is a great variety. The pens themselves feel good quality in the hand and the price is decent. They haven't dried out on me yet and I've been using them for moths. The only problem is that the more you use them, the more the tips flatten out and that can make it harder to use later on. -

I was excited to get this eyeliner but when I tried it, I realized it wasn't very pigmented and for a beginner at eyeliner like me, you don't get much control with the small angled brush that e.l.f provides you. Perhaps if I used a smaller and longer brush, I would more easily achieve a precise line. And there is also the fear of it drying out if you don't use it often. -

This BB cream provides about medium coverage, keeps oils somewhat under control and is very lightweight. Even though this is matte, it can be dewy if a moisturizer is applied before the BB cream. One bottle will last you for months and you don't need much product to get good results. I've repurchased this three times now. -
