Tinted moisturizer

I use this almost daily. If applied a bit heavily, it covers more like a liquid foundation. I have to agree when I say it isn't really a BB Cream, but I don't mind that. It doesn't make my face break out, it has a nice warm color, and it's moisturizing, which I need for my dry skin. The color Deep matches my skin tone pretty well. I don't have to use that much for it to blend into my face, and it really lasts. I've had my current tube for a couple of months; you really don't need that much and it lasts for awhile. Plus, I always like makeup with SPF, so that's an added bonus!

Tried it once, and I'll try it again!

My Mom suggested this mascara for lengthening and at first I wasn't too thrilled. The brush is a bit strange because it has the ball tip at the end. But, it has a purpose! The mascara itself is really thickening and makes lashes look super dark and long and fluttery. The ball tip is really useful when getting the lower lashes coated, which most mascaras are terrible at. It is a bit expensive, and personally it didn't last very long before it began drying out, but if you want fast results I suggest 2-3 coats of this.

Favorite Fragrance

I got this as a birthday present when I was about 14, with matching body wash. It's the perfect sweet, summery scent. It is true to the description. It isn't too heavy and overpowering. It smells just like fresh nectarines and it's so sweet. The scent lasts for awhile, and it doesn't irritate my skin either, which many perfumes do.

Beautiful Coral Lipstick

I wore this lipcolor for prom mixed with a light pink lip gloss. I had been searching for weeks for an inexpensive, coral lip color. Many looked not coral enough, while several looked neon orange on me. THIS shade is just right for my skin tone. It looks a bit bright on the tube, but goes on very well when on your lips. I used a lipliner and a lip primer and the color was true and even ( I have discolored lips). I highly suggest this as a pretty summer neutral. It can be amplified with a bright lip gloss as well, so its very versatile. I will definitely buy this again when I run out!

Great

I usually don't wear dark lip color, but I love this. Personally, I prefer a deep berry shade to a red. Once, I used this for a halloween costume where I was Morticia Adams, and it really added to the look. It can be swiped over chapstick for more of a lip stain and it still looks good. It can look harsh if applied heavily, but as long as you blot and wear lipliner, it's a really bold, deep, beautiful shade.

Decent

I wanted a nice reddish coral shade for prom. When I saw the color on the outside of the container, it was the perfect shade. Sadly, the actual lip color varied from the tube. It seems like more of a pink than an orange, but that may have just been the cruddy light in the drugstore. The texture is nice and smooth, but my lips definitely felt dry after applying it and taking it off. I had to mix it with other lip colors to get the color that I wanted. If it was the color I wanted, I would have definitely given it four stars.

Great variety, amazing pigment

I bought this after seeing it on a shopping network. When I got the package, I loved the nice metal hello kitty tin packaging. The colors are as vibrant as they are in the photo. I love the neutrals, the purples, and I like using the two dark sparkly shades for eyeliner. I'm excited to experiment with the different shades. As for the lips, they are very very bright, and smell very nice. They're a little too bold for my fuller lips, but the colors are nice if used sparingly. I highly recommend this if you're just starting out with makeup, or if you want to expand on an existing collection. The brush is really nice, and picks up a lot of color. Only advice: the shadows are very soft, so you only need to lightly tap the color to dispense enough on the brush.

nice, nice

I dont use this as a bronzer actually. I use each of the colors to create a nice, neutral eye. When I wear my glasses, I don't like harsh colors. These colors are sparkly, soft, and they blend nicely. It's not the best product, but it sure does last awhile.

Best Shade

I actually wanted a bright pink shade when I went to buy my first Essie polish. But, this caught my attention. It has just enough color, and goes on quite well. It lasts for awhile with a top coat, and the shade is a pretty neutral. I'm looking forward to trying other shades. It is a bit expensive, but you get your money's worth.

Wen never fails to impress me

Okay, so there have been many complaints about wen leaving hair dry and brittle/crispy. But, I think this styling cream works very well. I make sure to use it right after applying wen on damp hair, and then making sure to use a little bit of the oil as well. It keeps my curls in place, which is especially helpful in these coming summer months where the humidity can be a bear. I think the amount he recommends can be a little too much, so start off with a little less, and on DAMP hair. Your hair will end up feeling dry if you use it on your dry hair.
