I think this is eithet a hit or miss product. I personally did not like this product at all. I am very fair skinned and although it came close it was far away from my tone that you could notice that i was wearing makeup.
The worst thing for me with this makeup is that i felt like I was applying food to my face. I dont know if that part of it made me feel like it was too thick, or if it really was. Regardless I felt like my foundation was very 'cakey' which is not a comfortable way to feel, atleast not to me.
Also, compared to other foundations this container didnt last very long, likely because much of the product is actually air which has been fluffed into the makeup.
I know somepeople who really love this makeup and appreaciate its texture and thickness. If you are looking for a very heavy foundation this is likely a good option for you to try.

I am a natural blonde, and thus I have had the lifelong problem of invisible eyebrows. They arent so invisible that I dont have to pluck shape them, but they are so invisible that if I dont darken them by some means something looks 'off'.
I've tried many different things and for a long time I settled with a light blondey brown colored eyeshadow.
My problem was that I could never find a eyebrow pencil the right shade. They were always too dark and didn't work with my pale complexion. One day I accidentally found this eyebrow pencil and it solved all of my eyebrow issues.
It is the perfect color for a fair skinned blonde such as myself. it applies evenly and smudges well (i use my eyebrow brush) to create a natural look. Ever since I found this product my eyebrow worries are gone.
I would recomend this product to any pale blondes who prefer a more natural look.
It is a very inexpensive product as well, well worth the $2-3 for the finishing touch to your look,
There is only one downfall to this product- unlike most other eyebrow pencils - this eyebrow pencil does not come with an eyebrow brush which can cost you a bit extra if you dont have one.

This is my favorite mascara yet that I have tried. Admittingly, I was not much of a mascara fan before I tried this mascara - I had tried cheaper mascaras by covergirl and rimmel. I received this as a christmas present and when I tried it I was honestly amazed. This is quality stuff and I'm sure it is worth the higher price. It extends my lashes to a glamerous yet realistic length without those little balls (clumps?) of mascara sticking on some of my lashes. I also didnt have trouble with my eyelashes grouping up and sticking together like many mascaras I've tried have done. The mascara also wears quite well, it doesn't flake off or anything. I have no problems with it throughout the day and at the end of the day it easily comes off when I wash my face. I personally hate waterproof mascaras because of all the effort it is to remove them- in my opinion unless you plan on crying throughout your entire day this mascara is perfect for everyday wear and formal occasions. It provides seperate volumous lashes that look glamerous and professional. -

I always wear eyeliner, liquid or penicil sometimes both. I wear this brand in black, but I have seen many various colors for those with different tastes.
When it comes to pencil eyeliner this product is the best Ihave ever found. Even compared to brands like Estee Lauder, Rimmel beats them all hands down. The product is not as cheap as brands like NYC, however for the few extra dollars you get more than your moneys worth. It is easy sharpening. Goes on smooth and where you want it. It has minimal smuding (unless you purposely smudge it for effect), and very long lasting. The best eyeliner out there in my opinion,
A good buy, good value. You won't regret this purchase, it will easily become one of your favorites and a staple in your routine.

This is a basic concealer that sells for fairly cheap, however you get what you pay for. It comes in a lipgloss-like container with a wand applicator like lipgloss aswell. Because of its packaging it is best used as a spot concealer for the odd blemish or dark bags under eyes. It does its job at covering up the redness from pimples/zits however I found that it was a very thick concealer , and because it is a spot concealer when you are under harsh or natural lighting it is obvious that you are wearing coverup. You can easily see the place(s) where the coverup has been applied. Not very natural looking at all. I found that on pimples it made them stand out more because of the added bulk to the bump which was already present. It does cover up the redness quite well, but not cleverly - leaving a obvious skin toned gloppy mess.
If you plan to use this product on its own for spot coverage I would recommend a powder overtop to attempt to cammoflauge the texture difference between your skin and this coverup. Although you are still left looking unnatural with the powder, its better than splotchy.
On a more positive front II found that this coverup does work moderately well for covering dark bags under eyes. Because it is such a thick concealer it blocks the darkness and you can just see the skin tone of the makeup. In harsh lighting the texture is noticeable. Cover Girl Fresh Complexion concealer works especially well for dark circles if you use it underneath a light foundation.
For an inexpenisive concealer this product isn't too bad, but there are better out there. If you are looking for an affordable solution to dark circles under your eyes then this is one product to consider.
