Waterproof version is a LIE

I got this in a waterproof version, and let me tell you, it may have well not said waterproof on it at all. It comes off when it comes in contact with any moisture. Also, it can't hold a curl to save its life. Horrible mascara for my needs. It didn't build any volume or length at all. It didn't clump though, so good job, Cover Girl, you didn't lie with that claim! Still, I will never repurchase. I'm taking it back tomorrow to get a REAL waterproof mascara.

Exfoliate VERY VERY VERY VERY well before

This lipsticks looks absolutely DISGUSTING if you don't have perfectly smooth lips. I am one of those girls who literally ALWAYS has dry lips, and this is just nooooot good if you're flaky like me. It brings it out so much its ridiculous!

However!! I do put this on when I want to exfoliate because it shows me exactly where I need to do my stuff hahaha :) It does a very god job when you use it like that!!

Also, this is not a nude, it is DEFINITELY orange-y, but it brings out my blue eyes so that's ok haha:)

Shade 14 is the perfect nude!

I have only one of these in shade 14 (I don't know the actual name of it), and it is the PERFECT nude for me!! I have been on a log and tiring hunt for a lipstick like this!! It is so comfortable to wear, it is fairly opaque,and it isn't too orange or brown or pink! I love it, and I will DEFINITELY be purchasing a backup or two as well as a few other shades :)

Definitely not a "butter"

These are ok. The pigmentation is AMAZING, and although they are more moisturizing than a typical lipstick, they don't feel that great on my lips. These are not "butters", a "butter" product would be something SUPER moisturizing, like the Yes To Carrots lip butters. I do like these, and I will use them, but I just don't see what they hype is all about. They're not revolutionary. I also own 5 of the colors, so it's not like I just got a bad one :)

Cured my Eczema

This product literally saved my skin. I have horribly dry skin on my calves and I am a dermatillomaniac, so I obsessively pick at and scratch my skin there, even in my sleep. I spent YEARS looking for a cure, and who would have known it was this! I put this on in a thick layer at night and wear tall socks to cover my legs so the vaseline can soak in and not get on my sheets. Within a just a few days, I had no scabs on my legs, and in two or so weeks my dry patches were completely gone! I can not live with out this product.

This also has like a million other uses and it is extremely cheap! I LOVE THIS

Absolutely amazing!!!

I LOVE these!! Even though I only have two (the taupe and bronze colors), these are fantastic! I use the taupey one all the time all over my lid with a slightly darker crease color and it looks absolutely beautiful. These do not crease on my at all, but my lids are not oily at all, so that may be why. I also do not use these with a primer, and the staying power is phenomenal! I absolutely love these and recommend them to everyone :)

BEST WATERPROOF EYE MAKEUP REMOVER EVER!

I love this so so so so so so so much! I use it everywhere- lips, dry skin patches, on cute, on burns from straighteners, etc. I also use it to remove my eye makeup- it's PERFECT! Super gentle, cheap, and extremely effective on waterproof mascara/ eyeliner. Just take a little lump and work it into your skin. The makeup just melts off! I also use it on my eyelashes as a night time conditioner. It makes them grow so well!!

Light coverage/ can be used like a light concealer

I have very dry skin, so I'm not prone to pimples or large pores. That being said, I love this foundation. I have scarring from facial scabs that are easily covered up by this foundation. I also use it as a light concealer for my under eye circles. I take a dense eyeshadow brush (I typically use the elf C brush) and get a little foundation on it then pat it on my circles. BAM no more tired eyes!! I would think for those who want more coverage than just evening out your skin tone, this is not for you.

Great if not used on its own

Being the lover of full, voluminous, long lashes that I am, this mascara doesn't cut it at all. BUT I do use it under my Revlon Grow Luscious mascara so the curl will hold better and it looks FANTASTIC! This mascara does lengthen nicely and with the grow luscious over top to volumize, your lashes look just plain gorgeous. If you need added thickness, I usually put a litle bit of Maybelline The Falsies over the grow luscious. I wear this three mascara formula every day and I love it!!!

Not sure if it grows lashes, but looks amazing!

I absolutely LOVE this mascara! It separates every single one of my lashes and volumizes all of them beautifully! My lashes don't like to hold a curl very well, so I found that putting a light mascara on before this one makes the curl hold much better. I typically use the Maybelline One by One mascara under it. And some times this will flake off if you touch them too much (I tend to pick at my lashes a lot), so I put some Maybelline The Falsies over it and it makes them look almost fake!! I use this three mascara formula, if you will, every day and I've gotten quite a few compliments!! Definitely a good buy!!
