After so many great reviews on this mascara and every girl going crazy over it I ended up buying it. To be honest the first time I bought it and the first time I used it I was disappointed because it was taking forever to grab on color on the little brush to apply on my eyelashes. It is pretty huge that it makes it hard to hold and I thought it was kinda dry even the first time I used it. I kept using it more and more and I did like it more, it did gave me fullness, volume, length...but I do have pretty natural long lashes. I bought a second one to try it more plus I did like how it worked. This one worked different than the first one, it did grab on color right away and it wasn't dry like the first one I bought, I guess maybe they get dry even being brand new in the package . Another thing I don't like though is that it does flake! I hate having black little flakes under my eyes! I love that it gives me volume but other than that I'm just like whatevers about it. I do like and was faithful on Maybelline's volume mascaras before trying CoverGirl. I am undecided to be honest if I would recommend it or not...I don't know if I want to love it or hate it...? I just love the fullness it gives me but I am tempted in trying a Buxom mascara from Bare Escentuals but the price scares me. -

This is the first concealer I bought for all over my eyes and to cover under eye circles. The first time I tried Maybelline NY Mineral Power concealer I didn't like it much, it didn't work for me so I gave MAX Factor concealer a try since it was recommended in InStyle magazine and was looking for something affordable, I thought it was going to be great and it was going to be it but it was a lot worst than Maybelline concealer. I decided to give Maybelline another try cause it did work much better than MAX Factor that I remembered. Wen I tried Maybelline again I apply only a little bit, and I let it dry a bit before spreading it all over my eyes. Turns out it works much better like that than applying it and spreading it right away. Let it dry first and as it starts drying it will blend into my skin by itself, and it blends pretty good with my skin that it looks pretty good by itself wen I don't wear foundation. Whatever else needs to be fixed and blend in I dab softly with my finger and it works pretty good. It still creases but not like the first time. Good enough for now until I ran out to give maybe a priciest one a try. -

I first saw this set on tv in QVC and I wanted them so bad after I saw them on the models. The colors looked so pretty and neutral, not too much. Right away I was begging my husband to get them for me but I didn't get them right away. They were around $26-28 dollars and I hate paying more cause of s&h;. I went in to Sephora store here in San Diego and they didn't had the Winter Escapade set. I'm so glad I didn't get them right away, like two weeks ago I got an email from Sephora's online special offers they send out and they had the set on special for $19 bucks! I called the Sephora inside JCPenny in Fashion Valley here in SD to see if they had them to not buy online and not drive all the way over there for nothing and they had them. I was soo happy, so I got them now and I got them at a much better price! All worth it!
My husband never really tells me if he likes something, like a lip color, etc...& he likes these, he likes how they tingle cause after I kiss him he gets it too...& how it feels fresh and minty for a while. I gotta say that my favorite ones are Joy & Holly.

I love this blush, I have never before used blush, this is the first blush I have ever used and I really love how it looks on me and everything about it. I heard for people with dry skin, cream blushes work best for them, so I decided to get this one since it's a cream blush and it's also Olay cause I love Olay too. I would recommend to other girls out there and specially for people with dry skin like myself. -

Just started breaking out a bit and was getting worried and saw the Cetaphil cleanser here on Chick Advisor that it had so many great reviews and high rates and went and purchased it last night and I already see my face much better this morning. I LOVE IT!...& I LOVE CHICK ADVISOR TOO! :D I have been using Proactiv for more than 5 years and it has help me with acne but do get every now and then a few pimples nothing like before and not as big and ugly, just small blemishes but Proactiv does take time to clear your face and their 1st step cleanser is smaller and can be more expensive than Cetaphil which is a bigger bottle. I think I'm changing Proactiv's cleanser and sticking with Cetaphil. -

Really love that it dries fast, love the PINKS! One bad thing though that I do wash my hands a lot and on the first day that I did my nails, later on the day I noticed that the nail polish was coming off a bit, but that's not a big problem for me so I would still recommend the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri and I will still purchase them. -

Finally purchased my started kit but just applied it once since I bought it cause my skin was pretty dry and didn't look too good on my forehead specially, since it just made more visible dead dry skin I have there. It went in the lines and formed lines of make up in my cracked skin. I will try to apply again today and hopefully it looks better and give it the full rating it probably deserves. -

Walked in last night into the MAC store wanting some MAC eyeshadows so bad but not sure if I was going to buy some cause I was scared and nervous to ask for the price cause I know their expensive. I was about to just get out and say never mind to my husband even though I wanted MAC eyeshadows so bad but ended up getting two to try and for my curiosity to see why everyone loves them and say their the best and I'm so glad I did and now I want to go back and buy more colors. I LOVED THEM!...and I even showed and told my husband what the difference was between MAC and others. As long as he buys me more... :D The price scares me and I know every time I buy more I won't like paying for them but once I start applying it and wear it I won't care and know it's really worth every penny!
