Good Product

Smashbox Brow Tech is the first brow powder I ever tried. The products works very well. My only complaint is the price point. There are other brow powder kits on the market that work just as well and are less expensive. Not to mention the wax runs out way before the color.

Makeup Kit Must

As a Makeup Artist I need to have a wide range of color options for my kit. It's difficult to find a concealer palette that will work on darker skin tones. This kit works extremely well. I've even used it as a full cover foundation. Aspen is correct, you must set the powder.

Not Worth the Money

I'm not sure if it's designed for women with fairer skin or not, but it definitely does not work well on darker skin tones. I am a woman who can blush with the best of them, so I assumed it would work. I do not wear foundation so I thought it would show up better on me. Sad to say, it didn't. On lighter skin the trick is to apply a small amount on your finger and tap it onto your cheeks. Do not rub it. The tapping is what helps to rush the blood to the surface. If anything, it does make a great primer for your bronzer.

Use In the Shower

When I visit my family in the winter my lips get really dry. I started using the Lip Exfoliant in the shower and the results were amazing. As soon as I get into the shower I rub it on and continue on with my rest of my shower. I don't wash it off until I'm all done. This allows the treatment to soak in. Did I mention the taste? It doesn't taste like medicine like a lot of lip treatments tend to do. Definitely worth the money.

Favorite Travel Companion

I don't know about you, but whenever I get off of an airplay my skin feels so gross. I started keeping the Ponds All Day Clean Towelettes in my bag and my skin says thank you. It's the closest to a complete wash without having to remove my makeup. On the nights when I feel too lazy to wash my makeup off, I keep the Towelettes next to my bed. I've never had a breakout from using these instead. They remove all of my makeup without leaving behind a residue.

Not What I Expected

Why oh why do these things never work out for me like they do everybody else. I've seen O-Gloss on several women and they all had beautiful pink flushed lips. The color ranges from the palest of pinks to the most vivid and beautiful fuchsia I've ever seen in a gloss. On me, not so much. The color is more of an 80's inspired lavender. I will say, it does feel amazing on my lips.

Lasts All Day

I have watery eyes so I was really skeptical when I heard it comes off easily with warm water. I couldn't help but wonder if it would come off during the day while my eyes did their annoying tearing thing. To my surprise, not a single flake. The removal was a little scary at first. I thought my lashes were coming out, but no it was just the tubes. The one thing they need to let people know is you can not allow the lash primer to dry. You have to do one light coat and then immediately apply the black mascara. If you apply too much of the primer or you allow it to dry even a little bit, you will not be happy.

Worth the Price

I know a lot of you will disagree with me about Jet Set. Especially if you've tried the Midnight Black. Trust me, I am not a fan of that one either. However, the Bronze is amazing. It doesn't dry out like the Midnight Black and it is my go to color for the lower lash line. I have watery eyes and it lasts all day. My advice, skip the Midnight Black. Try the Bronze.

Warm Weather Color

I live in California so most days it is sandal weather. There is nothing worst than having chipped nail polish two days after applying. Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Nail Polish holds up to wear and tear like no other. I serve part time so I'm on my feet for hours at a time. This nail polish did not come off after a week. The thing I love about it, is the brush. It's wide so it makes the process a lot faster.

Best Whitestrips

One of the compliments I receive is how white my teeth are. My secret is the Crest 3D White Strips Professional Effects. I've tried other teeth whiteners before and they just did not work as well. Some of them made my teeth extremely sensitive to hot and cold. Others just didn't fit the shape of my teeth well. This is the easiest to use and is worth the money.
