I wear a lot of make up and had been using Clinque's Take the Day Off remover forever but decided to give NIVEA a try a couple years ago and for about 1/6th price this product does EXACTLY the same thing.
I shake the bottle and apply it to two cotton pads that I press gently to my eyes to remove my make up and I follow with a cleanser.
I will absolutely continue to use this product and never go back to expensive department store brands when this does exactly the same thing at a fraction of the cost

I have dry over processed hair that I do not like to wash every day so I have been on the hunt for a decent dry shampoo. I have tried several dry shampoos from Treseme, Dove to the higher end Bumble & Bumble, Dry Bar etc...and while they were all OK, none were amazing. I read online reviews about Batiste so I decided to try the brand a few months ago and I have to say I love it.
I spray my hair at the roots in the morning on non-shampooing days and pile it on top of my head when I do my make up. Then I brush it out and put it in hot rollers and it is almost as good as freshly washed.
Unlike some dry shampoos this brand doesn't have that chemical smell nor does it leave that powdery residue. It is definitely much better than products that cost twice as much

I love this stuff and have been using it for over a year. I have very sensitive and dry skin and this is the best overall cream that I can apply to my hands, face, body, everywhere!
It is a little on the pricey side to be slathering on my body (Aveeno works almost as well) but this is one of my favorite creams and I always have a tube in my handbag.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz

Anastasia brow products are amazing - I cannot recommend them enough.

This pallet is an attempted dupe of the UD NUDE palettes and extremely disappointing. The quality and color pay off is terrible. Even with primer it is a total disappointment.
This palette seems like a great deal as it is less upfront than one of the Urban Decay NUDE Palettes - but given how long a good shadow pallet with neutral colors lasts (I have had mine for years) and how much use you get out of it versus the cheaper one that you may only use a few times before it gets tossed in your drawer/bag of crap makeup buying the better product is worth it in the long run.

Before I review this I will say that I am in my mid 30s and have medium toned skin.
I personally was not a fan of this foundation - I felt the formulation was cheap, noticeable and waxy on my skin. There are a wide array of color choices but that said when a product is not good it doesn't matter if it is a good color match it looks like a person is wearing a make up mask.
I would not recommend this foundation. I would pay a few dollars more and go with one of the L'oreal choices - some of them rival the most expensive ones on the market today.

This is my holy grail...I have tried virtually every high end foundation and this one is like liquid silk. It leaves your skin luminous and dewy but not oily.
It natural, flawless and buildable coverage that does not settle into fine lines and wrinkles.
I highly recommend this - but try before you buy if possible.

Save your money on this one!

I love this mascara. When I first started using it I was on the fence but now it is among my favorites. I tend to use it as my 'primer' (before a curling mascara) as the brush is amazing - it coats all the lashes and the formula doesn't clump, it lengthens, and it is a gorgeous rich black. -

This product is surprisingly good! I wear a ton of make up and it takes effort to get my face clean and this really does it (with the help of my clarisonic and makeup removal wipe).
It does burn if you get it in your eyes be careful.
It is also awesome as a body wash after the gym; it makes your skin feel so cool and clean.
