I got the sample size of this product in the shade Orgasm with my Beauty Insider rewards at Sephora, because I fell in love with the shimmery colour. It reminds of me pink cheeks in springtime, and honestly, looks great as eyeshadow, too! Sadly, Nars has rescinded its cruelty-free status in favour of making more profit, so I cannot see myself ever repurchasing this when I run out. Fortunately, there are other comparable options that are just as good. -
Marcelle Volum'Xtension Magnetic Mascara

Once more, I turned to Marcelle to find a quality drugstore foundation that is safe for sensitive eyes, and once again I was let down. I think it has more to do with my less than ideal lashes than the products, but it also means I can't use just any mascara and achieve a decent look. Also, I feel as those the silicone bristles on this are just a little bit too far apart, which causes a little bit of clumping. I'm sure others have had better luck, and I still love Marcelle as a company, this product just simply wasn't for me. -

In my hunt for a decent drugstore mascara, I picked up this product because I trust Marcelle's quality in their products, and know it to be safe for sensitive eyes. In particular, this mascara is also supposed to be good for conditioning and fortifying your eyelashes, but too be honest, I haven't worn it enough to know if that is really the case. It just doesn't do it for me as a mascara, and I think it has a lot to do with the wand not being compatible with my eyelash shape and density. Might work better for someone else, just not me! -
Too Faced Hangover 3-in-1 Replenishing Primer and Setting Spray

I do enjoy the quality of Too Faced cosmetics, and I was excited to try this when I received it as a sample from Sephora. I have to say, it works as well as any other setting spray that I've tried, but not so drastically better that I would spend the money on the full-sized product. I think I'll stick with my E.L.F make-up mist & set to set and refresh my make-up during the day. Good product, just doesn't hold a candle to cheaper competitors, at least in terms of my standards. -

I got this as a Sephora birthday gift in the shade Paaarty, and was very excited to find the tone was very cool and subtle. I liked how it looked when I swatched it on my wrist, but on my face, I found it to be a little dark. The quality of the formula seems really easy to apply and to blend into my contouring and highlighting routine, so I would probably like this product more in a different shade, but since it was free to begin with, I really can't complain! This shade might better suit someone with a slightly darker skin tone, as it does tend to apply with a lot of pigment. -

I've been looking for a new drugstore mascara, so I decided to give this a try on a whim. I can't say this is my favourite drug store mascara I've ever tried; the brush didn't work as well as I had hoped, and while it doesn't clump, it doesn't offer... +
I've been looking for a new drugstore mascara, so I decided to give this a try on a whim. I can't say this is my favourite drug store mascara I've ever tried; the brush didn't work as well as I had hoped, and while it doesn't clump, it doesn't offer a heck of a lot of volume. Might work better for people who naturally have fantastic lashes, but didn't work as well for me as I'd hoped. -

I received this in the dual shades Wanderberry and Barely There as a VIB Rouge gift from Sephora using my points, because I had heard that this brand was cruelty free and wanted to try it out. The packaging alone is elegant and amazing, and the lipsticks themselves are a highly pigmented, sleek, silky, and long-lasting. SUCH an amazing formula! I'd compare it to the Marc Jacob's Beauty creme lipsticks, which are some of my favourite. I will definitely been investigating more products from this company! -

I received the shade Rouge Radiance for free in an order that I made on the e.l.f website, so I had nothing to lose by giving it a try. It's not bad, but I do find the colour a little misleading; it shows deep read in the container, but on your lips, it's barely a hint of pink. Much better worn over another lipstick or lipstain, in my opinion. I may use it on occasion, but I cannot see myself purchasing this in the future. -

The first time i purchased this, the lip balm was a deep cranberry colour, with some shimmer, making it almost more like a gloss or a stain that also happens to be hydrating. I LOVED it; it was the perfect thing when I was just looking for a little colour in my lips. Unfortunately, the new formula has taken away that deep colour and the shimmer. It smells nice, it's hydrating, but it doesn't add that little extra bit of dazzle that I love so much. Wish I could say I'd repurchase, but I miss the old formula too much. -

I received this in my very first Voxbox, and was super excited to try it out! Looking at the brush and formula, I was a little skeptical, but after applying it to my lashes, I couldn't believe the quality. This is easily one of the best drugstore mascaras I have ever tried! I am SO sad that it isn't cruelty free, so it is unlikely that I'll be able to purchase again given my standards, but overall, this is a quality product that won't break the bank. Would 100% recommend, if being cruelty-free isn't your jam! -
