I recieved the pallettes "Taupe Temptress" and "Irresistibly Ivy".
I loved these eyeshadows! They are definitely comparable to high end brands such as MAC.
The shadows are very pigmented but are very easy to work with! I found it very easy to acheive either a dramatic colorful look or a more subtle look by blending.
The colors were very blendable which is (in my opinion) one of the reasons I would buy and eye shadow to being with because no one wants an unblendable mess on their eyes. So I was very impressed by the capability that this eye shadow possessed!
Taupe Temptress gave me a more romantic and subtle look while Irresistibly Ivy gave me a more dramatic look with the bright blue that was perfect for going out in!
I thought the shadows were definitely high quality and didn't crumble or flake like a lot of cheaper brands tend to do. They also stayed on very well throughout the day (I use MAC eye primer underneath) but I still found that they resisted well to the wear and tear of my everyday life. The shadow barely budges after having it on for hours. :)
I would recommend Taupe Temptress for someone who wants a subtle look and Irresistibly Ivy for someone who wants a dramatic one. I think these are the best eyeshadows I have ever used that I feel would be the perfect "beginners" eyeshadow for anyone who doesn't have much experience with applying make up since they are easily blended. Overall, I loved them and would definitely by them again in other colors as well.

J.R Watkins Apothecary Lemon Cream Shea Butter

Ah! My new favorite Hand Cream!
First of all, can't get enough of the smell! The smell alone just makes me want to re-apply this stuff as often as possible. It smells identical to lemon meringue pie or a lemon tart! It's a nice subtle smell though so it's perfect!
Not only is the smell great, but the cream itself is of high quality and isn't greasy like many other hand creams I have tried.
Also, a little goes a long way so I don't mind paying the $10 a bottle. All of my friends love it too. :) Highly recommended.

Is it just me or is Herbal Essences getting more and more disappointing as time goes by? This is at least my 3rd bad review of one of their products.
I bought the hydralicious shampoo in hopes that it would help with my dry hair. Well, I'm pretty angry I wasted any time or money on it because it didn't work AT ALL.
The shampoo was thick coming out of the bottle and didn't lather well to begin with. I didn't dare use the matching conditioner because it was so thick.
When I got out of the shower, even before I dried my hair it felt as if there was a slimy coating on my hair. It was disgusting!
Once my hair was dry, it was completely flat and felt greasy even though I had just washed it. I felt as though I had to jump back in the shower to wash it again!
I would never recommend this product to anyone and I probably won't ever waste my money on any Herbal Essences product again. No wonder they are so cheap, they are very low quality and you get what you pay for in this instance.

I received this from the product review club.
First off, I was kind of confued on where to put the cream AROUND my lips. I thought it was kind of odd but I tried it anyways,,, didn't really notice any kind of spectacular difference in that sense...
However, I found the product you put on your lips gave a nice smooth feel and reduced the lines in my lips. I could notice a bit more of a boost in the size of my lips, but it wasn't anything too dramatic which was perfect.
The only negative about that was I noticed it seemed to dry rather quickly so it needed to be applied more often than I would like.
I would only use this if I was going out, not on a regular basis but I would recommend this for anyone who wants to give a subtle boost to their lips. I'd say skip the cream around the lips part, it doesn't really do much. Overall, I'd say it was average when comparing it to other products that are similar such as the sally hansen version and I probably wouldn't buy it again but it was a nice treat.

I received this body butter for the product review club. :)
One of the things I like best about this is that it smells very nice. It also makes my skin feel smooth instead of that greasy feeling that other products leave.
I have really dry legs and hands in the winter so I was happy to have this product. It made my skin look a lot more radiant and less flaky. I love that it can also be used for your hands not just on your legs.
This is the perfect product to have in the wintertime when the conditions make skin a lot drier and itchy. It relieved these symptoms for me right away after the first use. I was very impressed with the quality and would definitely consider buying and suggesting to my friends as well.

First of all, I have to say I RARELY give a product the full five stars in every category but for this pallette, I would never think of NOT giving it 5 stars!
I got this exact pallette except mine was the shimmer version instead of matte.
So, the price is amazing! I got 88 colors for around $20. I usually have to spend around $15 PER COLOR to get quality like this & I am ecstatic that I found this great deal. The shipping was extremely fast, I got it within a week of ordering and I was very impressed. :)
Each individual pot of eyeshadow was quite small but this stuff is VERY pigmented so I can tell it's going to last for a longggg time. Not to mention, it has basically every color I could ever want (or as my little sister put it - every color of the rainbow and more!) so I won't be needing to buy any eyeshadow for awhile.
This stuff is brilliant! I would only compare it to the higher end eyeshadows such as MAC when it comes to the quality.
One thing I really love about this eyeshadow is that I do not need to use any kind of base/primer on my eye prior to applying it. The colors show up on my skin almost exactly or brighter than they show up in the pots. This is very rare to find because I notice that many eyeshadows do not show up as bright in the pot, but this stuff will NOT disappoint you! :) It also lasts very well throughout the day & that makes it my new favorite eyeshadow. It does not crease on my eyelid like a lot of other shadows do.
I would recommend this stuff to anyone who wants to have the best quality they can find at such an amazing price. I honestly have never used an eyeshadow as great and I will be continuing to purchase this pallette.

I tried this product as a part of the product review club.
One thing I immediately liked about this mascara was that it was in nice packaging. I love brightcolors so when I see a mascara on the shelf in a color such as yellow it will draw in my attention right away.
When I put on this mascara for hte first time the first thing I noticed was the smell. It bothered me a little bit because when I go out to buy a mascara I always look for something that has NO SCENT. However, once the mascara was applied, I couldn't smell it anymore.
This mascara didn't really do anything too amazing that really wowed me. It didn't seem to lengthen my lashes as well as the current mascara I used does so I was a bit disappointed. I suppose it would be a nice mascara for someone who is just looking for a casual/everyday look but I prefer a more dramatic look when it comes to my lashes. This product really didn't deliver when it came to the extreme length that they advertised.
On the bright side, I didn't notice any major flaking and the mascara seemed to hold up well throughout most of my regular day and that was probably the best thing about the mascara that I could really say. However, that really isn't enough to make me want to purchase it again.
Overall, I don't think I would recommend this mascara particularly until some improvements have been made to it (such as the scent) but it is still an alright mascara if someone is looking for a subtle and natural look and isn't bothered by the scent.

I have naturally wavy hair and I was hoping to find a product that would better define my waves.
This product really let me down. :(
I sprayed it into my hair when it was damp before blow-drying and after my hair was dry it was just a frizzy mess and flat.
Maybe this product works better when you put it in your hair and let it dry naturally? I'm not sure but since it made my hair so frizzy the first time, I don't want to try it again.
I would never buy this product again and I will probably throw the rest of the spray in the garbage. :(

I LOVE this nail polish!
I fell in love right away when I saw the bold colors on the shelf.
I chose the color "Pulsating" which looks like a metallic fuschia color.
I thought this stuff was great because when you put it on, it looks exactly like it does when it's in the bottle, not all nail polish turns out as colorful as this.
Also, it really does dry in 60 seconds like it states unlike a lot of other brands that SAY they dry quickly but don't.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for amazing color. :)

I don't usually use body wash THAT often, but I was very excited to try this product!
After 2 days of use, I already noticed that my skin had become a lot smoother and softer. After a full week, my skin was as soft as a baby's! I think I might stick with this body wash! :) I was pleasantly surprised at the effect it had on my skin; It definitely does what it claims it does.
One thing I really loved about this body wash was that it smelled really nice! It had a really clean & fresh scent that is subtle but stays with you for the majority of the day.
I also noticed that a little goes a long way especially when used with a loufa so I was excited to see that one was included when the body wash arrived at my door.
Overall, I would definitely purchase this and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a body wash that really delivers the moisture it promises.
