this has got to be the worst hair colouring product i have ever used. My hair was originally bleached blond, and coloured Pink with a Manic Panic semi permanent dye. When my roots were starting to come back in i decided it was time to go back to a darker colour (i got the dark brown #4). So i purchased this dye thinking it's a Vidal Sassoon dye so it should be pretty good.
First of all there isn't enough product, my hair is just passed my shoulder, ive never had to use 2 boxes even when i had longer hair. the mixture was very thick, therefore it was very tough to get a even coating. Then when it was time to rinse, i was impressed that it did rinse clear fairly quickly. But my hair felt really coarse even with the conditioner being used. I've bleached my hair many times and it never felt this dry. The colour also came out VERY dark, more like a soft black rather than a dark brown. Fast forwards 2 weeks, i can see the blond and pink peeking through. my hair started to go green bc of the blond and brown fixture.
VERY unimpressed. I would not recommend this to anyone. The formula is thick, the colour is darker than what you expect, it dried out my hair, and the colour FADES.
Needless to say, i went and purchased a different brand dye and fixed this nonsense.

I think this is by far this best primer i have used.
This primer looks like it has a tint to it, but DO NOT let that fool you! It's definitely a translucent primer. You can instantly see the smoothness on your skin, any pores or fine lines you have are definitely minimized. I love its silky smooth texture, and it's great for all skin types! Whether you're oily or dry, or blemish prone! You can use this under or over makeup, which i think is an amazing idea, because i'm not a fan of blotting on more powder throughout the day. Also, I dont think this was apart of their marketing, but the product has a very faint citrus scent to it, which i absolutely love! Or it may not even exist and i'm just hallucinating...
Anyways, all in all, I definitely recommend this primer. You can even use this on its own without makeup to give yourself a more flawless face with minimal pores!

im sad to say maybelline failed this time with the mascara. its main claim: mega plush volume, was not met at all. Nope. there was absolutely no volume. no matter how many times you layer this bad boy on, it just wont volumize! what i do like about thismascara though, is that the brush is very clean and clump free. but that's pretty much all the good thing i have to say about this mascara unfortunately. aside from the lack of volume, i found that this also gives raccoon eyes! i wouldn't recommend this mascara, even if the brush is amazing because the formula isn't amazing. -

I received this product as part of the Product review club =]
I would definitely recommend this product because yes i did see a result. however i realized that to use this 2hrs a day for 7 days straight would make my gums a little too sensitive. after the first 3days, i started to use them every other day. but i was still able to see the results claimed.application is easy and simple. it stayed on and didnt move about. however in comparison to the Crest 3D White Whitestrips 2 Hour Express i found that this was not the product for me. im satisfied with my 4 times a year haha. BUT if you have a special event coming up like a wedding, prom, etc etc i would recommend this 7day treatment bc it's for one greater result and two faster (in some ways)

According to the MAC website, this is a Gel based foundation, which really doesn't make any sense to me because if it were gel based, why's it so oily!? I gave this a try so many times, it just doesn't work for me. I have dehydrated skin, which mean my skin lacks water, so i can be categorized as combination skin. So when i found out this was gel based and hydrating i was like "YEAH! SCORE! i found my foundation!" boy was i wrong! it's so oily you can put me on a can and fry me! I also found that this foundation oxidizes to a orange tone, kind of strange. I went back to back a four times and got colour matched and exchanged for a new one almost every week! Some oxidized yellowy other orange! to a point where i just gave up since it was too oily anyhow. I ended up getting the fluid instead, i wish i could stick to this one because i love this squeeze tube packaging alot =(
at the end of the day i would recommend this product to people with NORMAL TO DRY SKIN ONLY!

in my search for the perfect foundation, i came across this one at the MAC counter, and i'm not going to lie, i was very doubtful. But gave it a try none the less, and i'm glad i did because this is not perfect but VERY close to perfect! VERY VERY close. It's a buildable foundation, and even a light layer provides a reasonable amount of coverage without being too cakey. I like to use my fingers to apply this foundation for a more natural look, but if i was going for the flawless look and more coverage, i'd use a brush and a sponge to blend/erase any lines and buildups. What i also love about this foundation is the spf 15, although quite low, it's better than none. But not only that, it does NOT give you a white mask like most products with SPF! LOVE! Now why do i say all this great stuff and only to call it very close to perfect? it's because i HATE this packaging! i'm horrible at gauging how much to pour out. also, at some point you'll end up shaking it out to make it pour faster like a ketchup bottle, but if you shake too hard it pours like crazy! @_@ i can't win with this packaging -

despite the high price, this is one of the best contact solutions at there. My contacts feels alot fresher and cleaner after being soaked for 6hours. Which leads to my next point, i hate the fact that if you don't soak it for the allotted time indicated and put it on, it BURNS like crazy! so please read the instructions, and you'll be glad you switched over -
MAC Cosmetics Zoom Lash Mascara
I didn't see any results with this =( My lashes weren't longer, fuller, or darker! the brush hardly went through my lashes, I felt as though it just kind of glided by. I was very disappointed, i feel like GREAT LASH did a better job than this.

I call this mascara "hairspray for the lashes" because it hold the lashes up VERY well. But at the same time it dries really fast, and reapplying is impossible. Like hairspray, once its styled and sprayed you cant do much with it anymore! But with fast hands you can layer this mascara quickly before it dries and sets into place. It's not waterproof, but i haven't had to deal with smudging (yet) -
