My Must Have
I love this product to pieces! I'm not gonna lie, it makes me feel pretty. Other powders feel cakey and heavy on my skin, but this is so light and gives such a nice finish. It helps cover my red areas and I don't know, I just love it! I love that I don't have to use too much to cover and I love that when I use this, my face isn't as shiny as before. I don't love the price however, but this powder lasts super long so I don't mind as much. (:
I really love this to keep my hair in place. It does add a bit of volume as well, which is super nice! I like how it doesn't harden your hair or make it super sticky. After a few minutes, it doesn't even feel like there's gel in your hair. I love this for volume in the back, and keeping my fringes in place. :)
I thought these were going to be fantastic! The brand Ponds is a brand that is raved about like crazy in my family. I figured such a wonderful brand would produce a wonderful make up wipe. I was so wrong. These wipes hurt my face. :( When I first opened the package, I thought I bought the wrong product because the wipe had bubbles on it like soap. And the cloth was really rough against my skin. I felt like I was scrubbing off my entire face when I used this. It was so irritating to use. The scent was also something I didn't like that much. It was really strong and floral and it lasts for a long time. I don't mind it for a few minutes, but if I can still smell it an hour later even when I wash my hands and take a shower, there is definitely something wrong.
Favorite concealer when I went on vacation, but I never touched it again after wards. When I started using this, I started breaking out like crazy. It also didn't cover the acne. It faded way too quickly even with my MAC Studio Fix powder to set it. What kept me from switching to a different product was the fact that I was skeptical about the quality of the products in the mall because it was a different country. I wouldn't repurchase this item..
When I first bought this, it was because of all the hype that it's like the cheaper version of the Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes Mascara. I decided, why not? It wouldn't hurt. I like it, but this would probably work best with people with a lot of lashes. It lengthens lashes more than ever, but if you want volume, you're gonna need a different mascara. The wand also makes me a bit nervous. I mean, they give you a stick and a mace ball at the end and expect you not to have a shaky hand. I feel that I can't really control the wand and it just flops everywhere. When I bought this, the waterproof one wasn't out yet, which kind of disappointed me. Waterproof mascara stays on longer than regular mascara, which is why I prefer it, so I wasn't really impressed with this product. The formula's great and everything, but I wouldn't buy this a second time.
Love it!
My hair feels so strong and unbreakable when I use this. I'm not too crazy about the price, but everything else is amazing! The first week i used this, my friends all complimented on how shiny and strong my hair looked and it did kind of mend my split ends. They weren't as noticeable when I used this and they did add a shine and made my hair feel very clean, very pretty. :)
I think a lot of people forget that Carmex is really good for cold sores and extremely dry lips. I'm not going to waste $20 on a high end product that claims to soften my lips and moisturize them when I can pay at most $2 on a tube of Carmex that will moisturize my lips and give me that refreshed feeling after wards, and it will be handy for those embarrassing cold sores.
It's so soothing when I use this. I got this for free at Sephora as a birthday gift and I love it. I don't use it too often, because the smell of vanilla is a little overwhelming for me, but it fades when the shower is done so it's nothing too major. It's really relaxing to smell that birthday cake smell. It a scent of familiarity to me and it's amazing.
I LOVE how inexpensive this is! Super awesome price, amazing packaging, and I just love the compact. What I don't like the most though, are the shadows. At first they seemed really nice and pigmented, but they're a huge mess. I made a pretty big mess in the car when I bought this. I was super excited to try out the shadows, but they sucked. The color isn't as pretty on your lids than it is in the pan. I would probably use the compact for any other shadow that fits into it, but I wouldn't use it for E.L.F. I guess the term you get what you pay for is really the case for these shadows..
