The first time I owned one of these was when my aunt gave me one as a gift. I was never one for wearing lipgloss and she didn't like the whole natural look that I had going on.
After a try, I was converted. I always hid away from lipgloss as I found them too sticky and 'young' looking. This was sleek and the colour was great! I was a lipgloss convert!
I will agree it is pricey, so I wouldn't recommend trying it unless you're willing to drop money on it every time you run out, because it is impossible to go back to other lipglosses after this one.

I bought two of these eyeliner pencils when I was in the supermarket today. I figured, since they were so cheap and the colors were pretty, I may as well give them a go. As soon as I was out of the store I took out the pencils (in gold and silver) and tested them on my hand. I was surprised to find that not only were they smooth (unlike many drugstore eyeliner pencils which I usually find to be rock hard) but the color was amazing. It was bright and exactly what I wanted. Many gold eyeliners are yellowy-orange or an off gold. Many silver eyeliners are pretty much grey.
Not only were these a great color and a great price, when I went home and tried them, they looked great!
I would definitely recommend this product because it's so cheap and wonderful, you pretty much HAVE to try it!!

I was forced to read this book for English and for once, it was actually a book I enjoyed.
It might seem like a boring old book, long and pointless, but it is so much more.
Wuthering Heights tells the story of possibly the greatest love story, moreso than Romeo and Juliet.
It follows the story of Catherine and Heathcliff (a orphan boy who was taken in by her family) and their love for each other. Various issues separate them including their different class and other people.
The novel may seem to be a bit annoying. It was hard for me to like Catherine as a character because at some points her treatment of Heathcliff was just awful, and Heathcliff appeared to be cruel at times. However, it must be noted that these two are destined lovers and when they cannot be together they are in a state of suffering where no one can truly be happy.
The funny part of this novel is the fact that there are so many characters that can relate to those in our lives. Even though this was written a long time ago this novel is still a wonderful story and I found it hard to put own (which really says something because I usually hate to read classic literature) meaning that this is truly a classic, and Emily Bronte is a genius!

My constant studying for exams has messed up my sleeping routine and caused me to have awful bags under my eyes. When I entered the Benefit store, I was given a quick makeover and was surprised at what happened to those bags that were under my eyes. The Benefit lady told me that she had simply applied three dots of Ooh La Lift under each eye. I quickly bought the product and went home feeling happy.
It's not meant to take away wrinkles like some people think, it's just meant to de-puff the area under the eyes. I read somewhere that it contains extracts of raspberry and chamomile to firm and soothe the area while the light reflecting pigments cover up the dark circles.
It comes in a sweet tube and it presented beautifully. It has a wand applicator which is easy to use. You are supposed to make three dots under each eye with the wand and pat gently with a finger tip. It has no scent and once applied you will see instant results! It has a soothing sensation and can be applied below of above make up (meaning it is always in my handbag incase I need a touch up).
It actually works as well, the product gets rid of those dark circles and after a while, firms the skin.
The price isn't exactly wonderful, but if you have dark circles under your eyes, I'm sure you're willing to spend this much money on a product that actually works.
Plus it lasts for AGES, it's definitely a product that's worth it.

I've read about this mascara for a while and had high hopes for it. I was so excited when I had finally bought it.
The name is fun and the container is big. When opened you can see how huge the wand is, which does prove to have its problems. At some times, the wand is just too big (on one occasion I accidently got mascara on my nose!), and some people who I've talked to about this have agreed with me. Although the wand looks impossible to use, after a bit it's easy to handle.
I wouldn't recommend this to someone with light lashes as it may look a bit odd. The mascara is incredibly dark and this (it's probably best to brush through them with an eyebrow comb in order to separate clumped lashes.
The mascara lasts for a whole day and is easy to remove (I use clensing wipes), however it isn't waterproof (which I learnt when I got pushed into a pool).
It is a bit pricey for a mascara so I would only recommend that you buy it if you intend to get your money's worth (and don't pump the wand in and out of the mascara, it will only cause it to dry out faster!!!).

I actually got this product for free in a gift bag, but I was intending to buy it anyways.
It seems like a regular lip gloss (in a rather odd color) but it's actually so much more.
The price seems like a bit much for lip gloss and I do agree that I wouldn't spend that much on it unless it was really special.
The blue is very subtle and is meant to make your teeth appear whiter. I was skeptical but when I put it one, my lips didn't seem blue at all, but my smile did seem whiter! I asked one of my friends to try it and it happened to her too. Also, the lip gloss has a minty smell which keeps your breath smelling fresh.
It can be worn above of below lipstick and also has a fun packaging (as all Benefit products do).
Plus it isn't sticky!
I love this lip gloss and I would recommend it to anyone!

I was actually recommended this product by my boyfriend.
After my first winter in cold Canada, my lips became extremely chapped to the point where it was painful. He went out and came back with Blistex Medex and by the next day I was fine!
This is possibly the best lip balm available considering how much it is, and all of my friends have a Blistex on them in order to protect their lips from getting chapped.
It may seem kind of boring and dated when looking at it in a store, but it's definitely worth it! Not only is it extremely effective but it lasts for ages. The small container lasts you a while, and when you finally reach the bottom you feel a sense of accomplishment.
Plus it's incredibly affordable, meaning that you should all try it!!!
Trust me, you won't be let down, this stuff is magic!
