Received a sample of this to try, really glad I didn't buy it. I have worn a cat eye for many years now and have tried many different products to achieve this look - this is by far one of my least favourites.
Pros: Very black and matte, if you can manage to apply it, it doesn't budge. It applies very close to the lash line.
Cons: Applicator sucks, hard to get a proper amount of product out, comes out in clumps and doesn't come out evenly. Very hard to apply with any precision, hard to do fine lines. Product doesn't go on very smoothly because it is so hard to get out properly. When I tried to push more product out to apply over spotty areas, it would flake off and rub all around on my eyelid. Had to push and drag on my eyelids which I don't like to do (wrinkles... no thank you).
Like I've said I have been doing a cat eye for years, I can throw a great looking cat eye on in a minute. But this stuff is just way too much work and it is so unnecessary. There are so many other products that last just as long and are way easier to apply. Don't bother with this product.

I received this as a gift, I do not know how much it cost but I have looked into this product before and it was around $30. This stuff really does work, it makes my lashes look thick and huge, without being too clumpy. Watch a YouTube video on it to see how it works, it is two products: The transplanting gel/adhesive, and the fibers. The fibers are very fine, light and feathery. They stick to the lashes and that is what increases their size/length. i noticed a little bit of fallout after hours of wear, but my lashes still looked great.
One coat looks very natural, my lashes look pretty and wispy, and visibly longer. I applied two coats just to see how far I could go with it - it made my lashes absolutely huge, but they look a little too spidery for my liking. I really like this product, it should be sold instores! The way they sell it right now is sort of sketchy to me (have to buy it from people you know, similar to how Avon is sold). But don't let that deter you, this is a good product.

This product is amazing and I wish I could only list Pros, but unfortunately there is one huge con that I personally think ruins the product, and is the reason I won't be buying it again.
Pros: Price was good, it was on sale for about $9. I like that it comes in a pump, the packaging reminded me of MakeUp Forever's foundation. I like the consistency, it is quite thin and buildable. It does not look cakey at all when applied, and it works well on my dry skin. The colour of the product matches my skin well and looks natural - I like the variety of colours offered by Revlon, I feel they match my fair skintone better than other drugstore brands (I bought it in 001 Ivory). There is no smell to this product and it doesn't make me breakout. It makes my skin look dewy and good.
Cons: The first time I used the pump I was surprised how much product shot out! Far too much - but now that I know I can control the amount better. The *main* thing I dislike about this product is that it has shimmer in it! This would be my new go-to foundation, I would recommend it to everyone... if it weren't for the shimmer! It claims to be 'photoready' but I really don't know why they put shimmer in it! Your whole face doesn't need to be shiny and reflective in a photo, that's what highlighter is for. I feel weird wearing this product when I know someone will see my face close up (eg. boyfriend) because I'm expecting him to say at any moment.... why do you have glitter on your face. I want to love this product but I can't :( Why Revlon... WHYYYY?!

I received this product to test as a part of the Product Review Club. Overall I really enjoy this toothbrush and would recommend it to others, I also intend on buying this product in the future!
Pros: Inexpensive, while I didn't buy this I have seen it in stores and it is very reasonable for an electric toothbrush. (around 10 dollars). The shape of the brush is great, it feels like it hugs each individual tooth as I brush, cleaning them very well. The one half of the brush is also kind of pointy/rounded for more precise cleaning. One half of the brush spins, while the other looks like it shakes back and forth, so a mixture of motions makes for a good cleaning. I feel like my teeth have been thoroughly cleaned after using this and I won't go back to manual after using this product. It says you can buy replacement heads instead of the entire brush which is a more environmentally/economically friendly option.
Cons: The head of the brush is a little bit bulky to me, it is hard to get it into the back corners of my mouth. The handle of the brush feels sort of bulky and rickety. I wish it had a tongue cleaner on the back of the brush head like my old toothbrush.

I really like this product! I bought it on sale at the Body Shop, I believe it was around 10-12$, it has definitely been worth it. My skin has been great since I have been using this in my routine. After washing my face I rub this onto my face using a cotton pad, it removes more makeup, dirt and impurities than my face cleanser alone. It leaves my face feeling refreshed and clean, and it doesn't dry my skin out. It states that it refines pores, and I have noticed that I have had virtually no pimples since using this product. The only con is that the smell is too perfume-y for my liking, but this hasn't caused any problems (eg. doesn't make my eyes/skin burn). I recommend this product! -
COVERGIRL Lip Perfection Lipstick
Pros: Creamy, buttery texture. Goes on the lips very smoothly and doesn't settle into creases. Feels moisturizing and great to wear. Lots of great, wearable, vibrant colours. Inexpensive. Sleek packaging. Doesn't smell too strongly. Cons:... +
Pros: Creamy, buttery texture. Goes on the lips very smoothly and doesn't settle into creases. Feels moisturizing and great to wear. Lots of great, wearable, vibrant colours. Inexpensive. Sleek packaging. Doesn't smell too strongly.
Cons: Fades, need to reapply. Won't stay on if you eat/drink.
I have this lipstick in 260-Heavenly, and 310-Smitten. Heavenly is a cute light pink-coral colour that is fairly similar to my natural lip colour, great for every day. Smitten is a darker, purple shade that looks sort of magenta when it is on. I would definitely recommend this product to any lipstick wearer!

I received a sample of this product from Sephora and have been using it over the past month. I don't really have any fine lines or wrinkles so I can't say if it does much in regards to those claims.
Pros: Makes my skin feel silky and soft. I don't need to use as much foundation when I use this product because it glides on much smoother. Makes my foundation look better and smoother.
Cons: Wish it made my skin look more matte.

Picked this up on a whim at Walmart for under 10$, I really liked the Baby Lips line so I thought I would give this a try. The packaging also looked cute ^_^
Pros: Transparent, makes my face feel super silky and soft. My foundation glides on overtop and I find I don't need to use as much foundation. Blends pores temporarily and gives a matte effect. Very inexpensive. It didn't make me breakout but I don't find many things do.
Cons: After a little while my skin looks greasy. Pore blending effect doesn't last very long at all.
Overall, this product doesn't really do very much for me. It works right when you apply it, but then fades away. I like that it is transparent, I think this product would actually be good for guys to use to make their faces look more matte in photos or something, it just rubs on and doesn't feel like makeup.

I bought this primer because I had heard so many great things about it online and decided to give it a try. I have been using it for quite a while now, and to be honest, I'm not blown away.
Pros: When I use this product, my eyeshadow goes on smoothly, blends well, and looks great for a few hours. It goes on smoothly and feels moisturizing. A little goes a long way - the tube looks small, but it takes forever to use it all up.
Cons: Over time, I find my eyeshadow tends to crease no matter how well I do my makeup, perhaps it is just my eyelids, but for the price of this product I expected more. Applying this product feels sort of greasy on my lids, I definitely need a base eyeshadow in order for my eyeshadows to blend properly on top of this product. This primer is quite expensive.
For the money, its not really worth it to me. It works, but didn't live up to the hype. I wouldn't say fugheddaboutit because I know other people love it, but it's not for me. Next time I will try something else.

I received this product to test as a part of the Product Review Club, and I am really glad I did! This toothpaste is very thick, pasty and minty, and when you start to use it you immediately can taste the baking soda. I have brushed my teeth with baking soda in the past, so I was surprised and impressed at just how much baking soda Arm and Hammer packed into this toothpaste! I love the slightly gritty texture, I can feel this product gently rubbing any stains or tartar from my teeth, I feel like this product actually can get the junk off of my teeth, unlike the various other toothpastes I have tried. This toothpaste leaves my breath so minty and fresh, with NO sensitivity, like products that contain whitening ingredients. I love this toothpaste, it feels so much more natural and healthy to use than other toothpastes on the market. My teeth feel clean, white, sleek and radiant, just like after a trip to the dentist. The only con I can think of to this product, is that some may not like the salty-ish taste of the baking soda. It is quite strong, and if you have never brushed your teeth with baking soda before, you may be grossed out. As for me, I love it, I much prefer a more natural ingredient rather than a ton of chemicals in my mouth. I would recommend this product! I have gotten everyone in my house to try it already! :) I've attached an unedited photo of my teeth after a week of use :) -
