Not horrible!

Okay, so I got a sample of this from sephora at once point in time, and decided to try it out, since I'm on the hunt for a new mascara. I love the brush, it eliminates any and all clumps, however, I feel that the formula actually weighs my lashes down. Which counteracts the curling effect this claims to have.

However I've found a combo that works for me. I apply this mascara, then apply cover girl lash blast on over it (my current mascara I'm loving) This gives me more volume and helps 'lift' my lashes that the Stila had weighed down.

As for wear, I have no problems with this flaking or smudging through the day. It stays pretty put, and I like that! Don't have any problems with removing it either, I don't have to assault my eyelashes to get it off.

In the end, I wouldn't spend the money to buy a full size of this. I'll use my mini up, but wouldn't splurge on a mascara that needs help from another mascara.

*For reference, I normally do NOT curl my lashes every day. Mine are naturally quite long, so I don't bother curling them*

Gets the job done

I find that this product DOES help my nails get a little strong, and less bendable and prone to breaking. However, it can have a weird consistency, and doesn't help my nails over time. Only when I have it on. Polish on top of this can bubble for me, and I'm not sure if it's because of this or something else, but since I've been using this as a base coat, I find that my nail polish tends to peel off in full sheets! So weird!

Wouldn't Repurchase

I decided to give these a try, they were on sale at a local store. The pre-cut shapes just did not work for my nail shape and curves. I found that instead of just cutting off the end of my nail, it kind of stretches and doesn't break off. The texture of the finish on your nail is just odd. Somewhat, sticky? I don't know. And when used with a topcoat, it just bubbles. Plus once you open the package, you can't keep the strips you didn't use =[ I'd rather spend the time on my nails!

Love this!

Generally speaking, I'm extremely intimidated by lipsticks. However, if you put it in a pencil form, I seem to be able to handle it xD This pencil glides on so smoothly, and the pencil makes application fool-proof. This is what I keep in my purse for when I'm on the run and just need something. Love Child is a perfect soft pink thats universally flattering. It doesn't dry my lips out like crazy, and it doesn't need a lip liner because it stays put all by itself! I also like that this product doesn't have any noticeable smell or taste. The generic cheap lipstick smell and taste sickens me! But this is odor free, it's the perfect lip pencil for me!

Meh.

Personally, I would not purchase this for myself. The liner can be pigmented, however, you usually need two swipes to get total opaque color. And going back over the same line, even though it's dry, can wipe away what you've already done. The felt tip is far too hard, and it's almost impossible to get a thin line with this!

Love it!

I love this lip scrub and balm. My current lip scrub had just been used up, so I picked this up, and I was actually impressed with it! The scrub works just fine, and there is a decent amount of it in there. And the balm is so delicious and minty! I was definitely expected typical petroleum scented/tasting gloss, but it was lovely! Definitely long lasting and moisturizing on my lips. Impressed by this!

So pretty!

I love these polishes. They're pretty much the only drugstore alternative to a holographic polish! However, I find that the particles that make it holographic could be more dense with these. The holo is definitely there, but it's not as strong as some other holos I've seen!

<3

I don't really have oily skin, but I decided to pick up some blotting sheets just for my rouge skin days. Ever since I started using these, I can't stop! I'm always surprised at how much oil it draws from my skin, even though I typically have dry skin! Since I'm mostly dry, I only need to use them once or twice a day. But they don't mess up my makeup or smudge anything, and they don't leave a powdery residue or anything like that. They're super cheap, and totally worth it! Going to be buying NYX blotting sheets for life!

I'll pass

I bought this because every once in a while, I'll get one huge, problematic zit on my otherwise manageable skin. I find that applying this doesn't really help at all. I apply it to my pimple, and even if the skin is not broken, it burns like hell! My pimple doesn't look or seem reduced in size or redness at all, just a little more painful than it was before. I figured it was worth a shot, but I won't be repurchasing this one.

Meow!

I love Meow! It's so soft and sweet smelling. The fragrance lasts on me all day, but it's not crazy overpowering. It's just the perfect hint of something sweet and interesting. Warm, comfortable, and inviting. Plus the bottle is just insanely adorable. Especially for a crazy cat lady like me!
