This is a very natural mascara, the formulation is pretty good, not to dry, not too wet, and it's definitely not irritating on the eyes.
It gives the lashes more of a lift than your average mascara, however I would still reccommend that you use an eyelash curler.
It's not a clumpy mascara, and it makes the lashes look very feathery and natural as long as you don't wait between the 1st step and the 2nd step.
It's a very average mascara, if all you're looking for is a bit of volume, a small amount of length, and seperation and definition, and a natural mascara then this is the one for you.

The regular formulation of this mascara is definitely superior than the waterproof formulation. I found that formula to be clumpy, sticky, and it made my eyelashes droop.
This formula I however I found to be a bit wet, but it still did the job.
The only thing that really bothered me about this mascara was the smell, kind of like a strong rosy scent that was reminiscent of an old womans perfume. The scent would sometimes irritate my eyes if I applied it too close to my upper water line, so I don't recommend this mascara for people with sensitive eyes as it may make their eyes water.
Other than the few flaws I do like this mascara, the brush is plush, with evenly spaced bristles that sweep through the lashes easily. There's some pretty good seperation, definition and some volume, not much length is found, and the curl hold is alright, it doesn't make my lashes droop too badly but they do fall a few minutes after I've applied the mascara.

I have used many under eye products, this one, was better than some, but definitely not the best that I've ever used.
I recieved this product to review from ChickAdvisor so I don't know the price, but considering it's Aveeno I'm just guessing that it'll be reasonable.
As for the product itself, the packaging is typical for an undereye roller.
The product itself feels refreshing, and it seems to instantly awakens my undereye area.
After using it for about two weeks, I notice little difference in my undereye circles, they seem be be lighter, althought that just be my mind playing tricks on me; while any difference that the product has made doesn't seem to be much.
Although my eyes are never puffy anyways, they seem to portrude a bit in the mornings, this helps them to calm down faster.
This product will probably work better for someone with under eye puffiness, as for dark circle sufferers you may want to look elsewhere.
However I will continue to use the product, and update this review if I see any noticable changes with the darkness under my eyes.

This is a very good facial sunscreen and moisturizer combined!
I got the new product with SPF 60, and the fact that it's waterproof makes it perfect to wear for the beach, as it'll last pretty long and protect you from the harmful rays.
It's a non greasy and fast absorbing formula that's great alone or under makeup.

It has exfoliating beads to cleanse the skin and get rid of excess dirt and dead skin, I honestly can't tell if this stuff is moisturizing I didn't see a great difference in my skin, but's pretty good as bodywashes go.

Since it is Chanel this perfume is pricey, however you do get what you pay for.
The packaging is really simple yet chic and gorgeous, you'll love showcasing it on your vanity.
The scent is a really light slightly baby powdery feminine scent, it's hard to explain but it can be worn anyday everyday, not too overpowering, however the perfume does last on the skin.

This lip balm is pretty good, theres a nice fruity scent, and it's super moisturizing and feels really nice on the lips, it's definitely not so good as to repair the lips but it does keep them conditioned.
There is plenty of product in the small tubs, they should last a long time, you get a good amount of product for the price. I would probably repurchace mostly for the cute packaging and the fact that the balm is just above average, nothing to be wound up over though.

St. Ives® Naturally Soothing Oatmeal and Shea Butter Body Lotion
This is a pretty good lotion, nothing special, I mean it's pretty moisturizing and it smells pretty good. It does what a lotion is meant to do for a fair price. However after this bottle is done I'll be going elsewhere, possibly what to Olay?

I like the packaging and the quality of most shadows is much above average, most of them are very pigmented and gorgeous, however some of them tend to be a bit chalky and glittery however this isn't very often.
Almost all of the colours are just as pretty on the lids as they are in the pan, I would suggest heading over to your local MAC and swatching them.
All in all they are usually worth it for the colours and nudes, on the other hand for the highlights and the blacks I would definitely going for a cheaper alternative, there's plenty of nice whites and black blacks from less expensive brands.

I have definitely noticed a difference in my skin since I've stopped using the lotion, my fingertips have gotten increasingly chapped and dry, I'll need to purchase this again to get my soft hands back :)
