My hair stylist recommended these to me when I was wearing my hair up a lot in school because I was beginning to get breakage from my other elastics. I was surprised that I actually liked them! They don't kink my hair unless it's a little damp, and I've definitely noticed less breakage from wearing my hair up.
They do stretch out over time but you can put them in a cup of hot water or use a blow dryer to shrink them back to normal size. You can buy them in tons of different colors which is always nice.
The one thing I've noticed is inconsistency in price depending where you purchase them from. I've seen them for $5 for a pack of 3, up to $15 for a pack of 3.

My hair get tangled very easily and finding a brush that could detangle it without pain or breakage seemed nearly impossible. I received this brush as a gift and I have to say that I am obsessed with it. Brushing my hair now is a relatively pain free experience (except on super windy days). I've even used it straight out of the shower while my hair is damp and it gets the job done really well. The bristles are very flexible which is I think what makes the biggest difference compared to other brushes. -

The shades in this pallet for contouring and highlighting are so flattering on my fair skin and easy to blend. I purchased this on a whim because I ran out of my Kat Von D Shade Light pallet and I have to say that I am very happy with it. Sometimes I will get home from work and my make up will be melted off but this has not done that (so far). -

I tend to have very oily skin so I had purchased this hoping that it would help control shine in all areas of my face but I still find that I get shiny on my nose and middle of my forehead. Even with a mattifying finishing spray shine will still come through part way through the day.
However my make up applies very well over it, and does last well, except in extremely hot/humid weather. Personally I prefer the NYX Photo Loving Primer over this one.

I bought my fitbit with the intention that it would help me get more activity throughout the day, and it definitely has! It shows everything you need to see to stay on track right on the tracker, as well as more things on the app. I like that they're constantly adding new things to the app to make it easier to reach your fitness goals, such as having the reminders to move if you've been sitting for a while. Being able to challenge people on your friends list is a fun way to have some friendly competition as well. There's different badges you can collect for accomplishing milestones, like reaching 15,000 steps in a day, 25 flights of stairs, or beating your daily personal best. I get about 5-7 days out of the battery, which I think is pretty good for wearing it 24 hours a day. Price is comparable to other fitness trackers on the market.
Fitbit also has amazing customer service. The two times I've reached out to them for something they were quick to respond and very thorough.
