Okay, I got this product sent to me from CA to review based on my profile matches to this product. I have quite oily skin, that after washing my face, I will have a shine within half an hour. Not very many products can minimize this problem, or do so without feeling heavy and like I am wearing layers under my makeup to combat this problem. After trying this now for many days in a row, I can gladly say I am in love with this product! It works amazingly well for my oily skin. Just as it is described, it does indeed feel lightweight. I cannot stress enough how well this works on my oily skin. From morning to the end of a work day, I'm no longer blotting my face to remove the shine! I love this stuff! -

I am a figure athlete, and some days I am training in the gym at two seperate sessions/day. So needless to say, I looked into the world of dry shampoos. I paid approx. $25 dollars for this, and it seemed hard to get the powder to spray on, and when it did, it was white powder, that looked horrendous on my very dark brown hair. Color aside, I still did not like this product, as it was very hard to even get out of the can. Too expensive for frustrating results IMHO! -

Unlike the other reviews so far, I loved this product for the exact reason others did not! It is exactly what a girl with long lashes wants. The product is indeed thicker, and will clump if the applicator wand is not wiped on the tube for removing excess product. Within two or three strokes you have all the product you need on those babies! When I get a new mascara, I put it on my freshly cleansed eyes, and then hit the gym. My workouts are intense sweating sessions where I am in a pool of sweat at the end. When I wore this mascara, I had no lash marks on my lower eyes, and no lash marks under my brow bone! Incredible! This had to be too good to be true! So I used it at the gym all week again with great results. Talk about staying power!
The blue mascara: I really liked this as well, it gives you that little pop to your eye when layered over your black. Note: blue is great for any eye color, not only blue eyes....fyi.
If I had to pick anything negative at all, it would be the word "shimmer" in the name. The mascara has no shimmer in the product at all, so that could be misleading.
Oh yes, if you search you can find ones with the full rebate stickers on the package and get every penny back if purchased by November 30th 2010, and postmarked by December 15th 2010.
Good deal if you ask me!

Maybelline New York Colossal Volum' Express Mascara

I used to use the Maybelline Volum' Express, so I thought I'd try this since it was on for $4 at Wal-Mart on sale. Glad I only paid the $4, because I was highly dissapointed. To be fair, I do like my mascara to be a thicker formula, and with some clumping. I have very long lashes, and like some more product on them to make them fuller. I thought that was what this was supposed to do, but NO, it really did not!
I have purchased this product, Physician's Formula, Rimmel, Cover Girl, Almay, Benefit, MAC, and Loreal Mascaras this month, and of all of them, this one won my least favorite vote!

The packaging is what first drew me in to try this product when I first saw it on shelves in April 2010. Bright pink, jewel top, gold accents. Very glam and girly. The scent is awesome! When you first spray it on, you get this coconuty-magnolia, then after that fades, it's very vanilla-sweet musky scent. It's probably my new favorite perfume that I've come across.
Now the downside: The quality. Of course being a lower end eau de toillette, it DOES NOT LAST LONG AT ALL., which really sucks because it smells so great! I've owned other perfumes that I've gotten at the drugstore before that last heads and tails longer than this one! So, I guess I just have to buy more then, because I'm gonna be reapplying this stuff all day long just to smell it!

This concealer is amazing for brightening the under-eye area. A friend suggested this to me for my dark circles that most concealers still made the area seem drab and dark, even if the concealer was light, but not so with this one! The DiorSkin Sculpt Concealer seems to have an almost opalesque to it, which reflects the light off the under eye area making my entire face seem more refreshed. I have bought this item many times now, and am in love with it. It is approx. $30.00/tube, and will last 6-8 months, using once a day. I have noticed that there is still product in the tube that the wand cannot reach near the end, so before I purchase a new one, I get my husband to cut the tube(very hard plastic! he uses a skill saw)and I get another month or so of the concealer. LOVE LOVE LOVE this concealer! -
