best bang for your buck!

I heard about these lip balms a while ago on youtube and was so reluctant to try them. I figured they were just another over hyped product, but once I finally purchased one I realized why these little things get so much love. They are amazing!! They smell great, go on smooth, taste good and leave my lips so buttery soft. My favorite is the fruit punch flavor, so yummy! I also have the honeysuckle one and thats just as great. My only complaint is the packaging, its really awkward and kind of dumb. But they are so addicting and cost less than $4 bucks, are paraben free and 97% natural, can't beat that!

Silky smooth hands!

I love this hand cream!! In the past I've used Eucerin and Neutrogena hand lotions and they left my hands greasy. This lightweight cream blends in perfectly and smells so good!! I keep this on my nightstand and apply it before bed and wake up to soft smooth hands. Another added perk is this is paraban free and 97% natural, all for just $4 bucks!

One of the best brush cleansers I've used, but the packaging is annoying. To make it easier to use and in order to waste less product I pour the mac cleanser into an empty Clinque brush cleanser, which comes in a spray bottle. Aside from the packaging the product is fantastic, its the only thing that gets my mac brushes looking really white again. I've tried using Johnsons baby shampoo, but wasn't too thrilled with the results. Most of my mac brushes are about 1-2 years old and my sephora and smashbox brushes are almost 5 years old and they're still going strong with minimal hair loss thanks to this gentle, yet effective cleanser.

Great but $$

I'm going to start by saying, I really wanted to hate this mascara given the $22 price tag. However, after my first use I realized how amazing it is. One of the key elements in this mascara is the wand, I am not a fan of plastic bendy hard fake brissles so the fact that has natural hairs is awesome and makes it so much easier to apply. The effect this gives my lashes is incredible, they look super black, long and thick. I did not notice any flaking, but as my tube got older the formulation seemed to clump a bit. I didn't really mind so much because the results were worth the extra effort. I've since finished my tube and have not yet repurchased for two reasons: 1) I no longer live near any Sephoras (so sad!) and 2) I really can't justify the price tag, given that there are so many other wonderful mascaras for half the price. A great alternative is Clinique's high impact mascara ($14.50) which has a similar wand and gives great natural looking lashes. Drug store options include Loreal Voluminous (beware of clumping!) and Maybelline Full n' Soft (one of my all time favs). If price isn't an issue for you though, then I highly suggest this!

I LOVE THIS!! except I have it in the Sweet Lips flavor (Vanilla and Chocolate that tastes like Creme Brulee...YUM!!). What I love about this is how natural it is, seriously you can eat it! I use this a few times a week in the winter to get rid of dry flakey skin and the results are great. The jar is small but it has lasted me over 6 months. Its a wonderful scrub that removes all dead skin and is a great tasting treat that you can lick off at the end lol. Its pretty cheap too so I'd highly recommend you check this out!

I purchased this at Bloomingdales last October and with regular use still have over half left....which has justified the incredibly high price tag (nearly $50!). The reason I bought this is because my lips turn very dry and flakey in the winter. No matter what I've used in the past nothing seems to work, so in my desperation I bought this very expensive product and I actually really like it! The consistency is quite unique, its a solid wax (like a solid perfume) but it doesn't feel greasy. I keep this on my nightstand and apply it every night before bed and wake up to soft smooth lips. Using this in conjuction with Lush's lip scrub saved my lips this past winter. I've finally found a product that prevents my lips from cracking! However, the only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because of the price...which I think is way too high. Although it does last a long time, I find Kiehls lip balm to be a great subsitute and thats only $8/tube. I recommend this for anyone with a high budget who is looking for a luxurious lip care product from a luxurious brand :)

I've had this product in my beauty arsenal for nearly 10 years! Its pretty basic, but its one of my all time favorites. What I love about it is how light, creamy and easy to blend it is. I have combination skin so this works perfectly for me in mild weather without breaking me out and my skin just drinks it up. However, in the colder winter months I switch to a heavier cream at night and use this in the mornings mixed with my SPF. I always purchase the largest size and it lasts me forever. Plus, I think for a high end brand it is very well priced and you get a lot for your money, which is great for me because I find my husband stealing it from me because he loves it to! :)

After using Bliss' All Around Eye Cream for years it began to sting and irritate my eyes so I went to Sephora and tested out a ton of eye creams on my hand. I instantly fell in love with this, not only is light and moisturizing but it blends beautifully without effort. My hand felt so soft after testing it (and the natural ingredients had me interested) so I bought it and now I'm going on my third tube! It is priced a bit high, but with everyday use it lasts me about 9 months. But best of all, I've noticed a wonderful improvement in my undereye area. Also, I'm not sure if its because I'm getting more sleep or because of this product (or both) but my dark circles have also faded to the point where just a light concelear (mac select moisture cover) is needed. Overall this leaves my undereyes feeling moisturized and smooth, without any burning or stinging. LOVE IT!

I've tried a ton of eyeliners and these are hands down the best. They are very soft and creamy so you never have to press too hard to get color payoff. Plus, they're really pigmented and stay put for 12+ hours (on the lid not the waterline). My favorites are Whiskey, Bourbon, Zero, Crash and Ransom. They have the best color range, from naturals to brights. Although they are pricey, I've been using my Bourbon liner everyday for 6 months and cannot get down to the end of it...they last forever!

my MUA used this on me for my wedding day and it lasted through the night, but I had some flaking. It gave me nice volume, but I really had to tug at my eyelids to remove it so I won't be purchasing it. Based on everyones rave reviews I expected a better product...plus I hate the plastic wand (I much prefer natural brisstle wands). I'd say this is only a so-so product.
