Just received their newest colours (Lilac, Mint Cream, Desert Haze, Innocent, and Smoky Brown) in the mail and I'm in love! I just put on the Desert Haze colour, a slightly greyed light beige colour, and it's amazing for the price! Pretty good formula and coverage with three coats, and GREAT colours!
Definitely worth trying out! And there are always coupon codes hanging around for E.L.F. so you can get some even better deals!

I got this as a bonus with the Garnier Skin Renew Brusher Gel-Cleanser (through the product review club). I've seen it on the shelves before but opted for a moisturizer that has more promises (usually an anti-aging one). Well, I for one have been converted! I love the scent of this moisturizer! The formula is very light and fresh feeling, I can't get enough of it! I naturally have very oily skin, but this product didn't leave my face feeling greasy at all!
I love it!

I received this through the product review club. I wanted to use it for at least five days before reviewing it, but I knew after the first day that I'm hooked! As other reviewers have pointed out, I'm more of a fan of the brush than anything.
At first, I was really confused how to get the gel out. Like always, when I get a new product I get so excited to try it that I forgo reading any instructions. But this container stumped me and I had to read up on it. Once I figured out how to get the gel out, it was a breeze!
I think the gel cleanser is probably just as good as any other in its league, but the brush is fantastic. I too would have walked right past this in the store because it looks so gimmicky, but I cannot get over how amazing my skin feels! After just one use it was smoother than I ever remember it being! And moisturizers really do apply beautifully afterward (thanks Garnier for the bonus jar!)
I found the product really easy to use over the sink. I usually have a hard time keeping the bathroom tidy when washing my face with my hands. I find that water runs down my neck, down my arms and all over the counters. But this process made things much tidier.
Overall, I will most definitely buy this again!

I'm a bit frugal when it comes to my makeup, so I was stoked to stumble across NYC's mineral translucent powder! Packaging's awesome (it has a little plastic insert that you have to remove to reveal the holes, I recommend only removing it part way so that you don't end up with powder everywhere when you open the container.)
Makes my face look just as matte and flawless as the Marcelle translucent powder, for about half the price! Can't complain about that!

After reading reviews on here, I thought I'd give it a try. Definitely sticking to my Cover Girl Lash Blast though! Nothing beats their brush.
I found the L'Oreal double extend brushes clumped really easily and it was hard to get full coverage (over the first white step). I just ended up with a big gunky mess on my eyes.

Garnier Ultra-Lift Pro Deep Wrinkle Night Cream

Got a great deal on this cream! It was packaged together with the day cream at Walmart, all for $23! Normally priced around $20 each!
I've been using it for about two weeks now, and already I've noticed a change in my skin. I use it on my face, neck, and chest (remember to treat that skin like the skin on your face girls!) and I love it. Not too greasy with a really light scent. My boyfriend actually loves the smell of it.
If you're looking for a good quality night cream for a drug store price, I recommend it! There's a coupon around for $5 off when you buy two Garnier Ultra-Lift Pro products too!

L'Oreal Paris Collagen Filler Lip

So I was kinda skeptical when this arrived. I don't like the feeling of product on my lips very much, I mostly wear chap stick or lip gloss (unless I get really dolled up to go out, then a blood red lipstick is my best friend). But I've used it just about every day since it came, once in the morning and once before bed. I found it went on very smooth right away, and it didn't feel too heavy on my skin. It reminded me a lot of 30 Second Wrinkle Filler in how it made my skin and lips feel. Almost velvety! I only tried it once with lipstick, but it really helped with application.
This probably wouldn't continue to be an everyday product for me, but if you're looking for something to help with lipstick application, this could be it!

Got this in Vitamin E through the product review club. (First product testing, very excited!)
First impression, I would (and did a few days later) walk right past this in the store. The packaging looks too much like men's product. Actually, it reminded me a lot of Nivea for Men packaging. I know packaging has nothing to do with the effectiveness of the product, but it still affects how people shop! Unless I had heard great reviews from a friend about this product, I wouldn't pick it up off the shelf.
Once I tried it, I wasn't overly impressed. I've never been a huge fan of Vaseline moisturizers. I've always found them a bit too fragrant for my taste, and I always feel like they leave a residue on my skin afterward. I thought that "Sheer Infusion" would be the one to change my mind, but it still has that same feel to me.
If you're a fan of Vaseline products already, I think you'd love this one. It's a bit more sheer than their other lotions and moisturizers. But it's just not sheer enough and way to fragrant for my liking! I've worn it for three days now, and every time I put it on my legs, I have to wash my hands several times just to get the scent off.

Clean & Clear Invisible Shine-Control Powder
I found this product sat on top of my skin more than anything. It caked really easily and would quickly appear blue on my skin. Great idea, but just didn't work for me.
