For me, this lip balm was a bit dry and tugged at my lips too much for me to use every day. I did prefer the balm in the tin to the tube, but overall I prefer the Replenishing Pomegranate formula to this one.

I really like OPI's color range and textures. They have a very large brush, which you either love or hate, but I tend to like. When they do glitters, the glitters are amazing. As far as wear goes, I don't seem to get as long of wear as I do with Essie or China Glaze, usually about two days. Some of my favorite OPI colors are Teenage Dream, Absolutely Alice, Glitzerland, and Diva of Geneva.

I bought Strawberry Milk after buying Mac Viva Glam Gaga I and falling in love with the color. I kind of went on a light blue pink lipstick kick and thought this lipstick would be great since my other experience with NYX lipsticks was a good one (Diamond Sparkle Lipstick).

This lipstick is very, very creamy. So creamy that it makes it very hard to get an even application. Some parts of the lip will have a heavy concentration of color, while others will have hardly any on them at all. It also will show every imperfection or bit of hanging skin on the lip, so if you are going to use it, make sure your lips are well exfoliated.

My Favorite Nail Brand

China glaze polishes have a wide range of colors and finishes, including some of the best glitters and holographic polishes on the market. The brush is a bit thinner, but still good and stiff which is great for my thinner nail beds. Formulation is always good, with the only formulas I can ever remember being wary of were the Up and Away collection polishes (I just added a bit of thinner and they were fine). Some of my favorite colors include: Ingrid, For Audrey, Dorthy Who?, and Emerald Sparkle. Any of the OMG holographics are awesome as well if you can find them!

Love these! Great pigmentation and smooth application plus fun colors for a cheap price tag! Black on Black is my go to black creme and Green Ocean was my first flakey and still a favorite! I get normal wear with these, nothing outstanding, but they usually are fine to last the three days I sometimes have between manicures. They have a great variety of colors and finishes so there's always something for everyone.

Love Black Shatter! The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is that I get the same result from my China Glaze Black Mesh but Black Mesh is cheaper.

Black Shatter is a great way to get a really cool manicure without doing a lot of work. Just apply your base color, let it dry, and apply the Black Shatter to get an awesome texture on top.

As someone who was searching for the old Cover Girl Crackles before the trend was revived, I don't think I will ever tire of crackle manicures! Keep 'em coming!

Outstanding Product!

This is seriously one of the best products on the market! I love these pencils so much that I spent the $95 on the limited edition set and have never regretted it. They even stand up in our hot, humid summers here in Arkansas. All in all, a lifesaver.

La La Mega Shine Lipgloss is a great shade of barbie pink! It's sheer enough to give a pink sheen over other colors or you can build it up for a bolder pink color. It also tastes amazing! I love doe foot applicators as well, because it seems easier to get a precise application. Great price on these as well!

General Essie Review

Essie polishes wear amazlingly well on me. I can get five days of wear with absolutely no chipping, which is pretty outstanding to me. My only reservation is the color range, as I am more of a blue, green, glitter kind of gal and the sheer pinks don't appeal to me as much, but it seems like they are venturing out a bit more in more recent collections. Some recent favorites include Demure Vixen, Splash of Grenadine, and Sew Psyched.

Best.Lipstick.Ever.

Amplified formulas are my absolute favorite finish, but I am a fan of bold lips. My favorite lipstick was Petals and Peacocks, but it is long discontinued. Favorite permanent shade is Speak Louder.
