This was the first high end palette I ever bought and it has lasted me about 3 years so far, at this rate I may never need to repurchase lol
CONS: a few too many shimmery shades, absolutely need a primer, price
PROS: great colour selection, buttery/well pigmented shadows, all in one looks you can do
If you are new to high end makeup and enjoy shimmery neutrals this is your best bet. The colours are great, with a little care they stay great, there is no limit to the possible looks with this palette. If it were slightly cheaper it would get a high rating, I have no problems with the product but when combined with the price it is a negative.

I have used this mascara for a long time, I really don't believe in high end mascara and this is the one I always go back to of the ones at the drugstore.
CONS: I find it dries out too fast-despite the price I wish it would last a little longer
PROS: It does everything every other mascara does but for like 4 dollars
I think this is a great mascara for a beginner or someone like me who just doesn't think things need to be complicated. I also recently bought the clear version to wear on my brows and eyes on days when I am "wearing no makeup" so far no complaints about that one either.

LifeSavers Mints Wint O Green
Love these, and have for a long time. The taste is very strong, which in my opinion is part of the experience. They really do freshen your whole mouth. My BF and I like to keep a bag in the car.

My skin is extremely dry and I prefer a foundation with light coverage, this was the first "illuminating" foundation I had ever tried and now I am addicted to "illuminating products."
CONS: none for me
PROS: doesn't clog pores, is illuminating, doesn't smell weird, is slightly build-able, the packaging makes it feel expensive
I feel that it was a bit expensive initially however, it has lasted me a very long time. I would almost compare the coverage on me to that of a BB cream which is great with it being build-able it is practically a multi-use product. I don't feel the need to try another drugstore foundation.

This is one of the very few scrubs in my life that I have bought twice in a row. My main issues with my skin are my pores and the dullness that will settle in. This scrub is meant to polish, relieve congestion, and remove imperfections. This is the only scrub I have ever used that I saw an immediate improvement in the blackheads on my nose. If I stop using it I notice an immediate decline in the state of my blackheads.
CONS: honestly none
PROS: smells great, love the pink colour, I like that you can adjust the amount of exfoliation by changing the amount of scrub/water on your face (makes it great to use in different situations), doesn't strip moisture, doesn't clog pores, brightens, tightens pores
I think that this scrub does exactly what it says, it is a high end brand but the price of the product is definitely more reasonable that alot of others because you really don't need a lot of it. If you have the same issues as me, are addicted to exfoliating like me, and have the cash for this I would very much consider getting it.

I have dry and sensitive skin. My main issue with my skin are keeping it from looking dull, since it is do dry it can get dull looking very quickly. My second issue is my pores, around my nose and on my nose I have to remain vigilant to keep them looking tight and empty. The scrub is designed for pores, unevenness, and dullness which is exactly what it does.
CONS: I wish the exfoliating bits were a bit smaller/more abundant
PROS: it smells luxurious, does not strip moisture, doesn't clog pores, doesn't irritate my sensitive skin, does what it says on the label.
I always notice a brightness/clarity to my skin as soon as I have used it, and I really do feel like semi-frequent use of it has made a difference overall the the appearance of my skin. If your skin sounds similar to mine, you are looking for a scrub to brighten and refine the skin, and you have the cash for this scrub I would recommend trying it.

I only just tried this mascara and am decently impressed. I don't use high end mascara because I feel like there really is no difference, for me its just about how my eyelashes are doing and how I apply it.
CONS: tends to come out of the tube a bit wet
PROS: the brush is great for building volume, doesn't flake
Totally try this mascara if you are looking for something from the drugstore, I think it is a great all around mascara.

My hair is pretty dry and when I use a mask I want it to kick up the moisture and shine, atleast until my next wash. I use this mask about once a week, and it lasts a few days, when I wash my hair again the benefits of it go too.
CONS: the smell while pleasant is very strong (I usually have it in my hair for a few hours)
PROS: it does what it says on the package
I bought this mask with the conditioner of the same name, and honestly if you are thinking about getting this line of products I would get this instead of the normal conditioner. This mask is a bit more expensive overall (the normal conditioner for the price and size is still a great budget option) but I feel like it does what I wanted the conditioner to do. This is not a holy grail for me, but, for the price/effectiveness/availability I will probably get it again.

I have pretty dry hair that I am always looking to "refine" with serums and creams. This stuff is great, just a small amount where you need it and its adds softness, shine, and really helps with any dry ends or fly-aways.
CONS: can feel quite sticky in hair ( i warm it up and spread it around on my hands to thin it out), the bottle is deceiving-there is a smaller container inside that holds the actual product
PROS:smells great, does exactly what it says
Try this product for sure if you like serums, it may take a bit of experimenting to apply it so that it works the way you want it to into your hair.

My hair is pretty dry and I'm always looking for something to help it look more "refined" especially on second day hair. I like to add this to about the bottom half of my hair for a bit of shine, and some smoothing, it also helps it feel softer.
CONS: I know it doesn't say it is made to add shine but if it did I would probably never use anything else
PROS: smells great, love the consistency, tames and smoothes
I really enjoy using this as a finishing cream and I think it would be great for all different hair types.
