PUT IT ON:
Firstly, it is easy to tell this is a high-quality formula. It is smooth and rich - much better than the seemingly dry and thin inexpensive brands I've used before (i.e., CoverGirl).
The brush has many medium-length, fine bristles, as opposed to the wide, short, conical-shaped ones that seem to be getting more popular. The shape contours to the eye, which is good for the initial application. I like to then turn it around and use the rounded back-side to more precisely apply the mascara to the outer corners of my eyes.
Lengthening abilities: excellent. Volumizing abilities: maybe a little better than average.
In terms of the "curling" ability, any esthetician can tell me about self-curling mascara and I just don't believe it. This product is no different - it has no magical power to curl your lashes.
WEAR IT OUT:
What I love about this product is that it DOESN'T FLAKE OFF throughout the course of the day. As soon as I find an eyeliner that stays put, it will only be clean, fresh-looking eye makeup for this girl!
WASH IT OFF:
When I bought this product, I was told that it could be washed off quickly and cleanly by just gnetly rubbing your lashes with warm water. This is true to some extent. I do not need an eye makeup remover to avoided smearing it all over, so the "cleanly" part checks out. But as far as "quickly", I find it take a while if you want to be sure you've washed away aaallllll the little flakes. Somewhat frustrating.

Bath & Body Works True Blue Spa Look Ma, New Hands! Softening Hand Lotion with Paraffin

This hand cream is amazing! It actually seems to help heal my hands! Provides all-day moisture with a rich formula. Also has a nice, fresh scent, maybe something kind of tropical, but sweet. Warning: some people may find this a little greasy. I don't think it's bad, but my mom only likes to use it before bed. Bath And Body Works is great about having testers for everything, though, so if your hands are dry and need some help, I definitely recommend giving this a try.
I work in pharmacy and due to dealing with pills, powder and paper all day, my hands get very dry. This product works magic on them!
Available in a large pump-bottle spa size, a personal-size tube, and a trial/travel size which is perfect for carrying in your purse to work or during the long, dry winter months!

I use the soft beige shade (200).
I use a makeup sponge to apply this product and find it spreads well with an average-sized amount. Coverage is mediocre, however. In terms of the "stay matte" claim, they may as well throw that out the window -- this product is no better for reducing shine than any other foundation I've tried. As far as the clarifying claim, I don't think this product has any stellar ability to prevent or remedy breakouts.
I also got a Fix & Perfect foundaiton primer as a bonus with my purchase. Honestly, I feel that this step could be skipped entirely. I can't say that there were noticable skin-smoothing or pore-minimizing effects as claimed, and especially not enough to justify putting a whole other layer on my face.

I actually picked this up at a Dollarama store -- I had to try it for $2. I like the moisturizer itself; it is light and not greasy, and spreads well. My only reservation with this product is that I literally didn't notice any difference from the self-tanners. I have used almost my entire bottle and I can't say I see any change in my skin tone :(

I use the concealer (smaller version) in the medium shade. It is somewhat expensive for the amount of product, but I use very little at a time so it goes far.
I like to use this after I've done my makeup I usually would, but if I have a stubborn and noticable blemish that my regular foundation doesn't cover. A small amount works wonders to cover a pimple.
I like that the brush is kept separate from the powder, but one thing I don't like is the way you get the powder out. You unscrew the top brush portion and there are holes in the powder cover. The holes do not get completely sealed when you replace the brush part, though, so powder gets out of the holes and sits in the middle area. It can be a bit messy and wasteful.
