So impressed, Im ordering the rest of the line

So I currently use the eye cream from the same collection and love it. It only made sense that I would love these too, right? I do. They are amazing.

First off: they are 100% biodegradable therefore they are guilt-free. I use them exclusively at the gym. I take 2 classes back to back and use one between the classes to clean off my face, neck and chest. Since I started to use these wipes I have stopped breaking out. Well, not completely but I started to break out more then usual and then have curbed the extra blemishes.

They unfold to be about the size of a kleenex tissue and have a good weight behind them. They leave my super-sweaty skin clean, moisturized and refreshed. I do not feel tight or artificially moisturized and greasy. Just perfect.

And the smell - I have to mention the aroma is intoxicating. Not sweet, not citrus, just delicious. I hope that the whole line smells like this because I plan on trying the rest of the collection.

I said Yes To Blueberry towelettes and so should you. xoxo

Does not come with Applicator.

I have very fair skin and was a bit nervous when i ordered this. The online picture make this look like golden copper - but it has a brick red undertone in person. I LOVE stila so i had to believe it would be amazing - and it is. It is made with 24k gold so it is shimmery but not glittery.

I use it all over and/or just as a highlighter and it never cakes or settles - and i have oily / combo skin. I did not give 5 stars because even though the case seals tight and the powder compartment opens and closes shuts - and there is a great mirror - if you shake out too much product, you can't get it back inside the compartment. Therefore the next time you open the compact, you will have some loose powder to deal with. I just remember to give the lid a gentle tap to shake the excess powder down, away from the mirrored top. I use my brush to gather that excess powder, which is what I apply before unlocking the shaker-style top and accessing more powder.

It does not come with a brush or puff, so be prepared with you own product. @$34 I feel it is an investment - I don't use it that often as a facial powder - I dust it over my lotioned arms, legs and highlight my collar bone and cleavage. I Like the powder form for this type of application because I have more control of product. I probably won't buy it again, I think it is overpriced.

Buy Two!!

I love this. It is my second favourite slim-pencil sharpener. The reason it is not my #1 favourite just happens to be the reason I love this! Oh the irony!

It's the shavings case! I love it because it catches everything, which makes it so ideal because it so clean. #hereitcomes But it makes it bulky - 2x the size!! It is 1.25" high. You can actually remove the case, all together, if you wish.

The full five star clincher is the included pick, that is built into the sharpener. This allows you to pick / scrape off any remaining product from the blade. Product left on the blade can cause rusting plus you don't want those shaving to make a mess in your makeup bag. I keep my blade clean and sanitized by dipping a q-tip in 70% rubbing alcohol and 'scrubbing' the blade. It's only $2. Everyone needs this. Buy 2!!

#78 SunKissed

I purchased this peach-simmer solo shadow for one reason, so I can wear rich chocolate brown liner and have a beachy look. hehe.

Bordering on department store diva pricing, this $12 shadow is highly pigmented, sweeps on easily and can be used wet or dry. The compact closes tight and is thin enough to toss in my makeup bag. A great all-over shade, as I use it, or a perfect bending agent.

This is the first Sephora shadow that I have purchased but it will not be the last. It was the exact shade I was looking for at a reasonable price, although i wish it were $8 not $12. lol. It lost 1/2 a star because an applicator was not provided.

Use sparingly

So, this looks like it is going to be really thick but it's not, it blends quickly. I discovered, however it starts to ball up if you over blend or use too much in one area. eww. The squeeze tube open to revel a colour-neutraal product so it can be used on every skin tone.

This has a cooling sensation and does make my skin matte but it also feels like i just just washed my face with bar soap - not tight feeling but it feels tight to the touch.

I used this on clean skin once I got a little oily, is when I had the ball-up issue. I used a smaller amount atop my Clinique foundation and didn't have the balling issue but I did have some makeup transfer. Again, it is very cooling on my cheeks but I do not like how my skin feels afterwords.

I will not be purchasing this again. I think the cost @ $28 outweighs the benefit.

I didn't think it was simple.

So it is in a metal tin, you can not put it in the microwave. You have to heat it in a small pot pf water on the stove. *takes longer wasted more electricity* Be gentle with the vessel, make sure to not splash water or drop the vessel in to the pot, or water could end up in the pot of wax. And be careful leaving the wax in the warm pot - if you drip wax into the pot, you could ruin your cookware.

This does not rely upon cotton strips to pull the wax off, the wax sort-of hardens and you pull it off of your skin. You can reuse the wax by remelting used pieces - as long as you realize you will also add your hair to that mix. lol. I found it was easy to apply but you have to get the consistency just right or it will not come off of your skin. So I found I was having to apply it thicker then I would have expected, so it took a few tries. I bought this once and tossed it - not for me.

Sephora set is the best value.

I use this in ways it wasn't designed and you probably don't want to know, but I'm going to tell you anyway. I can't wax so I use the epilater (3rd from the right) on my legs and bikini line. The micro trimmer makes a great nose hair trimmer (all the way to the right). The precision trimmer is great doing just that - trimming ;-) There is a 'comb' that slip on top with 5 different length gauges. 5 giving you about 3/4" and 1 giving you about 1/8".

The attachments come apart so you can clean the hair out of them and oil the blade. I will say, it charges quicky but you can not use it while it's plugged in - so make sure it's charged. I really like it, I would replace it if I burn it up. lol. I store everything in the blue bliss pouch. And I love all of the added lotions and scrubs - yum!!

They crease!

For Bunny Hop a pinkish champagne frost. Even though I can't stand putting my fingers in cosmetics, I bought 5 of these when they launched. I thought they would be more like Clinique's TouchBase; an eyeshadow base that you can wear as an eyeshadow. And they are. It's just they do NOT deliver on the 'creaseless' promise, especially for someone that has oily eyelids, like me. I noticed within an hour this product starts to warm and transfer to the crease. Eventually all of it was up there and it looked like I had drawn a line in my crease with pencil. So 4 of them went back to Sephora - I kept Bunny Hop. I loved the shade, it looked so pretty. Not an 80's frost just a nice shimmer without looking like glitter. It went on easily and I could add powder shadow on top yet it still ended up in my crease. Oh well. No, I will not buy more of these.

Love these!!!

These are an excellent guide to at-home grooming. You choose the stencil you want to use and follow the guideline and gently press it against your forehead. The plastic is very flexible but not cheap.

The first time I used them I put white eyeshadow in the stencil. When I pulled it away, it was a no-brainer, whatever was not covered in white shadow was tweezed out. Then I just used them from time to time when I needed a good clean up.

I have since had my brows tattooed on, so I no longer use these but if I hadn't chosen permanent makeup they'd be a staple.

This is not a growing agent.

This did NOT work for me. I used it both AM and PM and did not see a difference worth $36. The brow hair that I have did not look fuller or thicker. I didn't see any new growth that time could not have completed on it's own. I bought this at Sephora and used the entire tube. I can say, I was able to use almost all of the product, and it dried down, never staying moist or sticky. As one with oily skin, it did not melt off of my face. It just didn't do what I thought it would.

The tube is clear and has a brush applicator, which pulls a good amount of product, is very easy to use and applies the serum cleanly.

If you want my opinion on an actual growing agent for your brows, I used RapidLash. By the end of the first tube, which lasts about 5 months applied day and night, I had 50% more brow hair. But that's another review!

I wouldn't buy this again.
