I think the most important thing to remember about mascaras that don't work as well as it looks like they do in mascara commercials is that all the models/ actresses in the commercials are wearing false lashes, the companies can deny it all they want, but it's true. No one has lashes /that/ big naturally. This mascara is worth the price, I'd say it's... a 6 or 7 out of ten. It's above average, but it's not /the/ best mascara I've ever bought. I did buy it more than once, but I've moved on to another product lately with an even bigger brush.
Things I liked:
-huge brush
-okay formula
-cute packaging
Things I didn't like:
-dries out pretty quickly
-over hyped product
-smells really gross

GOSH Cosmetics Lip Gloss

I bought two of these the other day, and I'm addicted to using them, they're so nice. The colours are adorable. I bought a baby pink one, and a ... berry red one. Unfortunately they don't have names, only numbers, so; I have 0058 (berry) and 0068 (baby).
So, let's start of with the good;
-the packaging is super cute
-the colour payoff is really good
-they have no smell
-the colour stays forever
Some negatives;
-the formula is pretty sticky
-has no taste (this is only a negative for some people
-no cute names!
-the line of them doesn't have that many colours
-they're a bit pricey
Overall these lip glosses are totally worth a buy if you don't have the money for a Mac Lipgloss. The ones from GOSH are $12.50 where as (and I looked it up) most of the lipglosses are over $16.00. So, I don't know about you, but I like these ones better. :D

Alright... So, I bought the Revlon Colour Stay Foundation with Soft-flex technology and SPF 15 for Normal to dry skin in the "110 Ivory" shade. For my taste, the product is a little difficult to get out of the bottle without it all coming out at once, but that's a minor issue. Overall it's an okay product, but I don't like buying things that are on par.
Some things I liked about the product;
-It has a generally nice smell, it smells like makeup but it doesn't smell... old?
-The packaging is adorable. I like the way the lid is black and clear.
-The labels are easy to read, there's a warning about avoiding your eyes.
-The bottle is pretty sturdy, I've dropped it a few times (while closed, thank goodness) onto the carpet in my bedroom and no breaking, I doubt it would stand up to hardwood or tile, but it's a plus for me.
Some things that I didn't like;
-This product may be for normal to dry skin, but it made my whole face feel like an oily mess.
-Even after setting it with a powder, it still looks a bit off.
-It's streaky and doesn't blend that well.
-It's difficult to get out of the bottle without making a mess.
--The inside of the lid is a mess, and stuff like that bugs me, I'm not sure if it bugs anyone else, but I thought I'd throw it in there.
Note;
I'm not sure if I even need to say this, but this product applies much better with a brush rather than those disposable sponge applicators.
I'm glad that some other people seem to be able to use it to their liking. Not every makeup is for every person. I'm definitely not "in love" with this product but I don't think I hate it. The shade doesn't 100% match my face, but that's my problem, not the company's. I'm going to finish the bottle, using a face powder over top that matches my tone a little better and then it doesn't look so ashy on my face.
I would recommend buying this product if you absolutely need foundation and your fave is out of stock, otherwise, probably not so much.
:D
