This is a relatively new product for me (I have been using these for less than a month). I usually use the Bioderma Sensibio but wanted an alternative in the form of wipes. I have an acne-prone and reactive skin type, so I find it extremely difficult to try new products. These are fantastic! They remove all face and eye makeup easily (no rubbing or tugging required!), do not irritate my skin in any way, and do not leave a residue. And the price is great - approx. $8.00 for 25 wipes. I will definitely be repurchasing and I highly recommend these! -

One of the best make-up removers I have ever tried - it completely removes foundation and (most) eye make-up (some mascara formulas are more difficult to melt off - in these cases, I use jojoba oil followed by the Bioderma).
It does not irritate my skin and eyes and does not dry out my skin. I even use this as a morning cleanser in the winter when my skin is acting up or is dryer than usual. Highly recommend.

Pros:
--dark black
--glides on, smooth application
--lasts all day

--does not irritate or burn eyelids
Pretty simple and basic gel liner that works really well. The price on this does not bother me personally because I find it difficult to find eyeliners that do not irritate my eyes. I recommend!

This is a wonderful liquid liner for the price (and you can always find it on sale somewhere).
I wear contact lenses and have sensitive eyes and this is one of the only liquid liners that I have tried that I have not had a reaction to.
I wear the colour "Blackest Black", which is a true and pigmented black shade (as opposed to other black liquid liners that dry to a soft or muted shade) and does indeed wear all day (a full 8 hour day) for me .
As well, the pen makes the liner so simple to use (which is important to me in the early mornings when I am applying makeup while I am still half asleep!).
I would highly recommend this liner!

This lotion is great for me: it moisturizes well, absorbs quickly, and does not leave an oily/sticky feeling after being applied. Also, the scent is very light and it does not contain any of the harsh chemicals I am trying to avoid. AND it is under $10.00:-) -

This foundation:
-blends in flawlessly and provides a beautiful finish
-provides light-medium coverage (note: concealer is required to cover up spots/discolorations)
-lasts all day (and I have combo-oily skin), especially when set with a powder
-is one of the only foundations which does not break me out (i.e. cysts, red angry bumps, and regular old acne pimples)
-has a very light texture on the skin (it really does feel as if you are not wearing foundation)
My HG.

On me, this scent wears very close to the skin and it does not scream "smell me!" when I walk into a room. I get many compliments from people who get close to me. I can only describe it as being soft and warm. Fragrantica lists the notes as bergamot, mandarin, black and pink pepper, jasmine petals and lily of the valley, coconut water and sweetened honey, sandalwood, vanilla, amber, heliotrope and woody notes. All I can say is that I have been loyal to this perfume for a year now and I am on my third bottle (although my first 2 were 30 ml). The only issue I have is that for the price that it sells for, I wish it would last longer on me (I need to reapply/re-spritz a couple of times a day). -

For the most part, the colours are pigmented and the pencil is soft and glides on so smoothly. Both the shadows and liner last all day on me (I do prime the lids and eye area though). The colour range and selection is nice and allows for softer or more dramatic looks. There is alot of product fallout which is annoying.
The thing that ruins my opinion of this palette is how cheaply constructed it is. I am very gentle when I use my palettes and I throw them in my purse because I do not want to break them or have product spilling out everywhere. I have only had this palette about a month and a half and one shadow pot already cracked (the shadow was coming out in chunks) and then it literally popped out of the main palette. I do not know if this is an isolated incidence but I am not impressed.
If anyone is looking into this palette because they want a nice selection of natural or neutral shades, I would suggest trying either of the Urban Decay Naked Palettes (1 and 2) because THOSE are well made palettes!

My skin: combination, very reactive (for ex. I get massive red bumps that are not pimples with many products) and very acne-prone (especially to products).
My opinion: I was extremely skeptical of trying this because it was a bar soap (ever since I was 12, I was told to just stay away from facial bar cleansers), but I was breaking out uncontrollably a few months ago and was absolutely desperate, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Now, I have tried numerous cleansers-drugstore, high-end, natural- and this is really the only one that I have found that cleanses well and does not irritate my skin. As soon as I switched to this soap, my breakouts calmed down. I am not claiming this to be the miracle cure for my acne because I still do get pimples but it does what it is supposed to, which is cleanse the skin well (note: I do use this with my clarisonic which may be why this soap cleanses my skin so well).

My lashes are short and thin; I want a mascara to provide thickness, some length, and be a non drying formula. I liked the nice wand size (not huge nor miniscule) and that it separated the lashes nicely. As well, I liked that it added a decent amount of length to my lashes. However, it added no real volume or thickness-which is what I ultimately wanted. The formula itself is quite 'wet' when the tube is just opened but it dries out quickly--I would say my tube lasted a one month or so before it began to dry out (I assume this is because it is a 'natural' beauty prodcut which omits traditional preservatives). Lastly, I found it irritating that it is quite difficult to take off (but hey, it did last all day without flaking or smudging!). To conclude, this is an overpriced product and I would not repurchase. -
