I have this product in two nude shades. They have a nice minty/tingly effect but that could bother someone who is sensitive to that. The gloss is very thick but not sticky - it doesn't cause the lips to stick together. It is fairly moisturizing. The product does not have to be reapplied constantly because it is thick enough to last for a couple hours at a time. The applicator is a standard doe foot style. It's a good product to keep on hand at your desk or in your bag because it layers pretty well over any lipstick or lipliner. -

Batiste dry shampoo works great. It is more effective than other dry shampoo I have tried in terms of oil control. However, the tropical scent is very strong and I would not recommend to anyone who is sensitive to coconut scent. I will continue to use Batiste but I will use the original scent. -

I got this for $5 at Winners. Good price, and it fulfills the purpose of a makeup remover. It works as well as any other micellar water I've tried. However, it burns my eyes so much. The directions say that it is meant for use on any skin (eyes, lips, neck, etc) but it stings a lot and it takes a few minutes for the stinging to stop. I will probably just use it on my skin and avoid the eye area until it is used up, but I would rather use something that is all-purpose so I won't repurchase it. -

I bought 4 of these polishes during a BOGO sale at Sally Beauty Supply. I applied the polish 5 days ago and it is holding up very well (the picture is after 5 days). It has not peeled, cracked, or chipped. I also didn't experience any "shrinkage" or separation during application which is sometimes an issue with gel polishes. I saw a lot of reviews on other sites that say the polish peeled off too easily, but I used it in conjunction with a standard gel base and top coat which I think helped it last longer. I probably wouldn't try using it alone even though it claims to be "one step". -

I picked up the regular large green sponge at Winners for $5.99 after I had heard that it was comparable or better than the Real Techniques and Beauty Blender brand sponges. It worked really great! I like how the side is so flat and wide because it allows me to blend my foundation so much faster. It is very soft and easy to use. However, I think it is too soft because after only using it about 5 times a huge chunk ripped out of it while washing it. It also has tiny tears on the other side of it. I have had RT sponges last more than 6 months with no ripping or tearing (using the same washing process). It is very unfortunate because I was enjoying the blender but it will be too expensive to be constantly replacing it if it breaks so easily. -

I've heard about this concealer for years, so I finally decided to try it. I used it for about 3-4 days over my acne spots. I found that I had to layer it because the formula was so thin, but it did conceal well once it was applied. However, it gave me some pretty severe acne breakouts. This was the only product I added to my routine during this period, and around the areas I had applied it (chin and cheeks) I got some very deep, painful breakouts. I stopped using it a few days ago and haven't had another breakout. I'm not sure if it is the sponge applicator or the formula that caused it, but either way I will not be using it again. -

This is my everyday foundation. It is not super high coverage or long-lasting, but it is great for a standard work day. I like the applicator, which is sort of like a giant concealer wand - it makes it really easy to apply in the morning because I don't have to mix anything on the back of my hand or dump it out onto a brush or something. I just apply it to my face and blend in with a sponge. I use the lightest shade which is super light and a great match for my cool-toned pale skin. I have already repurchased this foundation because the ease of use makes it a better drugstore option than other brands. For example, I love the formula of the maybelline fit me foundation, but I hate how I always had to pour it out of the bottle and get it all over my hands. -

I have been a strict pad user as long as I have been menstruating and these are the BEST. I won't even buy other brands anymore. These ones are so much thinner and more comfortable. They don't leak, they adhere well to panties, they don't get bunched up after a while. They are overall so comfortable and they are worth the extra few dollars compared to value brands. -

This is my first eyeshadow palette from this brand. Compared to my other palettes (Urban Decay, Too Faced, Kat Von D, and Clinique) this has the softest shadows. They are so easy to blend and the colours are very cohesive so it is easy to mix and match to create various looks. It has some repetitive shades (multiple matte warm tones) so I would like it if there was maybe one matte white/cream shade, but that is just personal preference. I would recommend this palette to other people. I would be interested in trying other powder products from this brand. -

I have used one of these pads nightly as part of my skincare routine for about 1-2 years. I have found that, while they do not seem to treat active breakouts very effectively, they do tend to keep new ones at bay. When I forget to use these or run out of them, I find that I break out a lot more. They also help to remove any excess makeup left deep in my pores after my regular cleansing. Overall they keep my skin fresher, but they are not strong enough to function as an acne treatment on their own - I have to use a spot treatment if I want to target specific breakouts. -
