I've heard a lot of people rave about this powder. Maybelline is by far my favorite brand from the drugstore, but this powder did not meet the cut for me. I was very excited about it, but it actually ended up in my products I regret buying video on youtube. First of all my worst complaint is that it smells like dirty diapers. So unless you enjoy the aroma of poop in a diaper, you will not enjoy the smell. Secondly, when looking close at the powder it has a slight shimmer.. yet claims to be a matte powder. The price is decent, but the color selection is on the light side & also each other looks rather gray toned. Lastly, this powder did not keep me matte for more than a half an hour & I have combo skin. I would not recommend this powder at all. -
Maybelline New York Dream Fresh BB Cream

This is by far the worst BB cream I have ever tried. It is the lowest price I've seen from any drugstore brand, but is also the least effective. I'd say it gives about as much coverage as a plain moisturizer, but doesn't only not prevent oiliness, but cause greasiness. There is a decent color selection, but the 8 claims that this product makes are not true. The only one that it lives up to is the SPF. You'd get more coverage out of coopertone. This BB cream is nothing but a tinted moisturizer, but less coverage. This is definitely not worth the $6-9 that it retials for, and I'm surprised its been on the market this long. -

This liner is very affordable and easy to apply. It is truly black, glides on with ease & stays quite well. I have very oily eyelids & most liner smudge, smear or transfer to my crease within 6-8 hours & this usually last right until I take it off (with a high-end primer) It is very accessible & affordable & definitely worth trying out! -

This BB Cream costs around $11 at any drugstore & comes in 3 shades (light/medium and medium/dark and dark) & 3 formulas (anti-aging and normal skin and combination/oily skin) I tried the combination/oily formula in medium/dark because thats what I've heard the best reviews on. My first comment regards the packaging. It was very messy, the product poured out of the opening even when stored right side up, and continued to spill. It has a pleasant not chemically scent, but is definitely fragranced which led me to break out even though it claims to not break you out. On the plus side it blended nicely & the shades are quite forgiving because the coverage is lower than any tinted moisturizer I've used. When first applied to my combo skin it stuck to dry patches & within 4 hrs was very oily & transferred easily. I then tried it with a primer & setting spray which did not help with the dryness, but maybe added an hour to staying power. This product made me break out extensively & was returned. I would not recommend this product. -

Although the Clarisonic is scary expensive, it is completely & totally worth it. I've struggled with acne since 6th grade & am now 20 yrs old. The acne control brush head and deep pore cleansing brush head seem to help better than the sensitive head, but they are all amazing. I've tried similar products from the drugstore but none of them live up to the Clarisonic. Since I've used this with the Murad Clarifying Cleanser my skin has cleared up at least 90% and now I only suffer from minor hormonal breakouts. This helps get every bit of left over makeupoff your face, deep cleans your pores, and makes your skin soft & clear. As long as you change the head every 3 months & wash it with an anti-bacterial soap at least once a week it stays sanitary and will make your skin softer, clearer, and cleaner than ever before! -

This mascara is decent. If you have the extra $10 to spend over the average price of a drugstore mascara this may be worth it. It has a plastic bristled brush & although it separates each lash and gives a bit of volume it is not spectacular. I noticed that it smears quite heavily by the end of the day & doesn't hold a curl for more than a few hours. Its not the best or the worst mascara, but I don't believe its worth the price, especially when there are much better options from L'oreal or Maybelline. -

This mascara is definitely one of the best from the drugstore. The packaging is gorgeous & feels very high-end. It is a bit pricier than some mascaras from the drugstore, but is worth it. This mascara volumizes your lashes like no other. It coats & separates each lash without clumping, flaking or smudging. The waterproof formula stays all day and is removed easily. You won't regret purchasing this mascara! -
Maybelline New York The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara

This mascara is not only adorably packaged & super cheap & readily available but also has more impact than any high-end mascara I've ever tried. It holds a curl all-day even on my pin straight lashes! The waterproof formula doesn't flake or smudge on my watery eyes & it doesn't make my eyes itch like many mascaras do. Also, the flared version has a slightly curved brush which really helps each lash get coated with mascara! -
