*Price: I give this a 5/5 stars because of the price. It's super cheap!
*Quality: I give this a 5/5 stars because it goes on super smooth. It doesn't have that waxy feeling and taste that so many other lip balms do. Also, it doesn't have a waxy smell or too fruity of a smell (it seems that just about every lip balm seems to go one way or the other). The smell, it's hard to put my finger on what it smells like, but if I had to describe it, I'd have to say that it is the perfect "lib balm-y smell".
*Effectiveness: I give this a 5/5 stars because it keeps my lips moisturized all day.
-Extra notes: I was absoultely hooked on a high end lip moisturizer that was recently discontinued. It was a bit costly but I loved it and didn't care. After going through just about every high end lip balm there was and through every single one in the drugstore, I finally found the one that is now my offical favorite. May Nivea never ever discontinue it!

*Price: I give this a 5/5 stars because it's a cheap blush that lasts quite a long time.
*Quality: I give this a 4/5 stars because it's highly pigmented. The color is very vibrant.
*Effectiveness: I give this a 4/5 stars because it applys smoothly onto my skin. A little really does go a long way, with this blush. You can swipe on just a bit for a daytime glow or layer on more for a dramatic look. It also has great staying power.
-Extra notes: If you're a girl on-the-go and you keep this blush in your makeup bag for touchups or travel, I recommend tapping the lid a bit before opening the product, before each application, because as the blush gets tossed around a bit, it tends to accumulate in the lid. Tapping on the lid gets the excess blush powder to fall back into the jar without spilling it. If you tap on the lid, it will leave just the right amount in the lid for a nice daytime glow application.

Maybelline New York Define-A-Lash Volume Mascara
*Price: I give this a 5/5 stars because it's a good price. Plus, it's even better, I think, than most of the higher end lengthening mascaras. *Quality: I give this a 5/5 stars because this mascara never clumps... EVER! I can put on coat after... +
*Price: I give this a 5/5 stars because it's a good price. Plus, it's even better, I think, than most of the higher end lengthening mascaras.
*Quality: I give this a 5/5 stars because this mascara never clumps... EVER! I can put on coat after coat after coat, and it never clumps! I've had mine for about 3 months and I've never had to run my lash comb through my lashes when using this mascara. You have to love that.
*Effectiveness: I give this a 5/5 stars because it gives great length to your lashes. It gets to all the lashes, even the tiny ones on the inner corner of my eye that I never seem to reach without clumping with other mascaras.
-Extra notes: This is my new favorite mascara! Although, I will say that it's not quite as effective at volumizing, since that's not what it's made to do. A good solution for that though is to couple this mascara with your favorite volumizing mascara or mascara primer. Put the volumizing on first, then apply Define-A-Lash over it and you will have gorgeous lashes.

*Price: I give this a 5/5 stars because although it seems a bit pricey, it lasts a very long time. You really do only need a small amount (usually whatever is in the lid) and you're good to go. Mine lasts at least 6 months, if not longer.
*Quality: I give this a 4/5 stars because it is a quality product. The foundation is smooth and doesn't have a funky smell (which some foundations often do). The one downside are the brushes. If you're going to buy this product, I recommend that you buy a different face brush or kabuki brush (depending on how much coverage you want) because the Bare Escentuals brushes, I find, are quite scratchy on my skin.
*Effectiveness: I give this a 5/5 stars because it's actually one of those products that seems to look better as the day wears on. It just seems to melt into my skin. It's great.
-Extra notes: I recommend this only if you're looking for a light to medium coverage. It's definetly NOT for heavy coverage. Make sure to use a moisturizer first, if you're going to use this product. Also, I highly recommend buying the Mineral Veil. It really helps give you that "soft glow" look and helps set the foundation.
