great pigmentation

This is my absolute favorite highlighter I've tried! I've tried a lot! You get a crazy amount for the cost! I've had mine for over 2 years and still haven't hit pan, and it gets used quite a bit. Mine cracked, but I can't say if that's due to bad packaging or my organization of my makeup. Gives such a great glow to the face! Doesn't look over-done or cakey. Doesn't have chunky glitter. Just subtle shimmer that accentuates the face amazingly. And it's versatile. My go-to highlighter!

I loveee this stuff!! It's like concealer for your eyes! I don't really like using concealer or foundation to cover the veins and discoloration because it doesn't necessarily prime your eye or make the shadows stay on longer. But this stuff cancels out the color, veins, etc. on my lids amazingly. If I decide not to wear eyeshadow or anything, I still put this on to make my eyes look bigger and make my whole face look fresh. It says it's a base, but I find that it helps my eyeshadow stay on long without creasing like a primer. LOVE! <3

Great coverage, lightweight, dewy-satin finish

This is my holy grail foundation. There's honestly no pointing in buying an expensive foundation with this out there. It's got great coverage--medium-full but buildable. It gives you a beautiful, healthy glow. It's got great staying power. It has SPF, which is a plus for me. Some people may worry about the SPF leaving a white cast in pictures, but it didn't do that on me. I've branched out and tried other things, but I always come back to this foundation. I've heard this is a dupe (but better) to the Nars Sheer Glow. I think that one has less coverage than this one. One of my favorite foundations! <3

These are pretty awesome. I got the peach flavored one, and I'm obsessed with the smell! Makes your lips feel really smooth and conditioned. I find myself reapplying it a lot, because I'm addicted to having some kind of balm or chapstick on my lips, but overall, this is great.

I'm a chapstick/lip balm junkie, so I try everything that comes out. I like chapsticks that have a tingle to them, and this one does. I love the scent and the orange flavor, too. However, it's white...soo, if you put too much on (which I'm one to smear it all over--I'm an addict, haha) it leaves white all over your mouth! Looks really weird. So, unless you use a very little amount, it'll turn your whole mouth white. It makes your lips feel smooth. But it doesn't last long.

These lipglosses are so underrated. They're awesome! Good pigmentation, NOT thick or sticky like most cheap glosses are, and they're inexpensive!! There's a very wide color range as well. I love these!

look for dupes first

This is an awesome, versatile, and quick product. The eyeshadow are very pigmented. It's a combination of matte and shimmery/frosty shades. HOWEVER, before you spend the whopping $50 for this, I seriously suggest finding and using dupes first. For example, E.L.F. has a very similar palette that has colors from both the Naked 1 and 2 palettes. And it's a hell of a lot cheaper. Plus, Youtube is very helpful in finding dupes for high end products. I wish I had known about the E.L.F palette before I bought this.

dryer formula

This is a nice mascara. However, I find it's hard to layer. It's a very dry formula. It does give decent volume and length, but it's somewhat hard to work with. I prefer a consistency that's between wet and dry. Kinda in the middle. And this is a little too dry for me, but decent mascara if you like dry mascaras.

feels like liquid, very heavy

When you first apply this, it feels like a liquid. Very refreshing and cooling. But with coverage, I'm more of a lightweight medium-full coverage person. I feel like this is buildable coverage. However, after layers of building, it starts to feel very thick and heavy. The brush that comes with it sucks, too. Not something I'll repurchase.

Smells bad, but it works.

This is meant to clean brushes before actually deep cleaning them. It does work! Yes, it smells. But it's only a few dollars...I'd rather not spend a butt load of money on something more expensive that smells better, but does the same thing that this does. It does its job. The smell goes away.
