makes rough feet smooth

I'm still bummed I can't find my Diamancel Foot File.....it literally was the best thing to happen to my feet. Years of dancing caused my feet to have some rough heels and calluses (also in part to my dad's genes, thanks Pops!) and this was one of the best foot files I have EVER used. It is super easy to use but will last you for a very long time and definitely smoothed down the rough spots very quickly. I loved how sleek it is and it made packing into a suitcase a breeze....which is also probably how I lost mine. Right now I am making do with a foot file I found at Sally's but I would re-buy this in a heartbeat!

beautiful color selection

I own two of the Nars blush, the first of course, being the famous Orgasm (a peachy pink with shimmer) and Luster (a shimmery apricot). Both would work well for all skin tones and the shimmer flecks are not disco ball in appearance at all. From the first moment I set eyes on Luster, I knew I had to own it, it was so beautiful when I swatched it on the back of my hand. Orgasm also equally beautiful and saying the name out loud to peoples make me giggle every time. Staying power is good and out of all the beauty brands out there, Nars is hands down always going to be my favorite due to the rubber encasing and the mirror that is included in all their products. It fits well in my makeup bag and my train case. They also last SUPER long, so your money is well spent here.

Love the tube packaging

Back before Urban Decay changed the packaging of their genie bottled Primer Potion, Too Faced beat them to the punch and created their own eye primer in the form of an easy to dispense tube form. The squeeze tube was definitely an easier and more hygienic way to use an eyeshadow primer. Staying power was okay on me, I felt like my eyeshadows tended to crease more with this primer than UDPP. It's a very silky formulation and very neutral toned for all skin tones (unlike some such as Kat Von D's eye primer, which was very yellow toned and way too light to use). Love the sleekness of the packaging, which makes packing into a makeup bag a breeze. However, I recently discovered Milani eyeshadow primer, which holds for 24 hours without creasing and I will now stick with that.

Washes out quickly

I never seem to have good luck with Manic Panic hair dyes, and I'm a hardcore crazy hair color kinda gal. Manic Panic always seems to wash out super quickly on me, no matter how bleached my hair is or how long I keep it in for. I think the longest I was able to get a hair color to stay with MP was a week, which is no time at all. Have had much better luck with Special Effects and Pravana, my two go-to's for colored hair dye.

Great results for a cheap price!

I'll be honest, I haven't used this product in some years but it was a true bathroom staple for me in high school and throughout college. It does the job and for a low low price that cannot be beat. When I had a breakout, this was the first mask I would reach for and the blemishes also went down in size and any redness was zapped. If I had a stand alone zit, would I grab for an acne treatment? Heck no, I would grab this mask, dab it on and sleep it overnight. Who cares that I got green flakes all over my pillowcase?? In the mornings, the zit was always reduced and almost completely gone. The tingly feeling was always great because you knew it was working and you could even see the gunk around the pores around my nose when the mask dried. Probably thinking I should go buy a new tube now...

Luxurious cleansing oil

This cleansing oil comes in an easy to use pump bottle which dispenses the perfect amount of product every time. It's slightly thicker but is moisturizing, cleans off all the grime that sits on the skin and also cleans any residue makeup off pretty well. You dispense a couple pumps in your hands and apply to dry skin, then i splash a bit of water into my hands to my face to get it to "foam up" then I rinse. Easy!

The reason why I took off a star is because no matter how careful I am at cleaning my face with this, I somehow always get a taste of the product in my mouth, which is not pleasant. I am willing to overlook this because of how great this works. The only other cleansing oil I have used in the past was the Shu Uemura ones, and this is just as great.

Love the smell!

I've gone through a couple bottles of this cleanser because it smells great, cleans well, and really does the job. My only gripe about packaging as Ning C stated is that the pump tends to leak. Which is kind of a bummer because the pump application of the product is otherwise pretty great and dispenses the perfect amount of product. Balancing is good for normal/combination skin and it's never broken me out and made my skin look fresher. I'd say it was pretty good at cleaning off any residue foundation my cleansing water might have missed.

Favorite lip balm of all time

It is well known amongst my family and friends that I tend to freak out a little (actually a lot) if I can't locate my lip balm - it needs to be on my person at all times, no matter what. I've been using the Jack Black lip balm for about 5 years now and my friends always know to get me the 4 pack gift set at Christmas! I love, love, this balm. It's moisturizing, stays on well, and the different flavors are great. The only one I tend not to use is the mint one because I feel like it dries my lips out (most mint products do one me) but everything else I love. The scents are not heavy nor overpowering. They are pricier than most other balms out there but I've been coming back to this for years now and will pay a bit more for a product that I know works and doesn't dry or make my lips more chapped.

Long lasting!

So far, Black Dahilia is the only OCC Lip Tar I have but I can't wait to purchase more. A little goes a LONG way and you can build up color as little or as much as you want, up to you. Black Dahilia is a dark vampy burgundy red, which I like to build up so it's a very dark reddish purple. All the Lip Tars come with a small lip brush, which makes for an easy application but I often forget to use mine. Instead, I just swipe a bit from the tube on my lips and use the sides of the applicator to spread the color out evenly. Dries somewhat matte on me, which I will usually dab some gloss on top.

Keeps skin clear!

I've bought several of this serum over the past few years since I was introduced to this product and let me tell you why: it's lightweight, smells great, not full of bad for you ingredients, and helps keep my skin looking smoother, younger, and fresher. I've even turned my mom onto this serum! My only gripe is the dropper doesn't seem to really dispense product for me, but I just swipe from the side of the dropper onto the back of my hand to apply, no big deal. I've definitely seen a difference in the few sun spots I presently have on my face and I continue to purchase this as one of my luxury purchases!
