No.

I was shockingly appalled by how clumpy and dry and frustrating this mascara was. I had to work it eeeeeeeever so lighly against my lashes until I got the barest tint of color, because anymore, and I'd suddenly have four giant spider lashes! never again.

:/

This is a fairly good foundation, for a fairly good price, with fairly good coverage, and fairly good lasting power.

My biggest issue with it is that it a)goes on shiney....and yet it's "matte"? It never seems to really be matte on my face, and since I tend to get a little shiney, this is important for me.

b) it is SO thin, the actual product I mean. It's pretty sheer, but not so sheer that it doesnt cover, because it does, just *barely* enough, but it's not very buildable, and it soooo liquidy to apply, it's almost shocking at first.

Yesss

The peachy tint seems to help even out my face tone while smoothing my skin and creating a fantastic barrier between my skin and my foundation. My oooooooonly little caveat is that I don't like that if I apply this, say to my neck to cover less than appealing marks someone decided to leave behind(ahem, thanks honey.), the peachy tint doesnt totally blend and it leaves the patch it was applied to just the slightest bit discolored. But I still love it.

Love!

I really thought I'd hate it. In fact, I really only bought it because it was on sale and I wanted to say "oh yeah, I tried that, it's awful."....but it's NOT. It's a really great cleanser formula to begin with, and then that silly little scrubbie is adorable and my new best friend. I dont know how the heck he does it, but he makes my face feel light and clean and it really does seem so much deeper-cleansing than your average cleanser. Love. LOVE.

Love.

For my skin, this is almost a must have. I have combination/oily skin, so no matter what I do, it seems, my foundation begins to slip and shine in a matter of hours(if not minutes!).

This little glass jar, is my little glass foundation slipper. It makes everything go on smother than I ever could have imagined, and it keeps everything in place, and matte, for the entire day. Plus, I feel better dolling myself up knowing that this base is creating a layer of protection between my skin and the bajillion chemicals and whathaveyous in my make up :)

Mixed Feelings

I have mixed feelings about this one. I'm leaning mostly toward the "omg this is pretty dang fab!! and just a dollar!" side of me, but I did have a few issues. First, it went on a little sheer. the one I got was the gunmetal gray, so I got it really for more day to day usage, making sheerness not a huge deal.

**also, I've really only tried this out with one brush, and it's a very slim, and brand new brush, so I'm still adjusting to be honestly. As of now though, I love it for a dollar, just wish it was a teeny bit more pigmented.

I actually like it--But I like other ones better

this brush is a little on the thin side, but it's extreeeeeeemely soft, and never scratchy. It's cleans SO well, too, not holding the product as much as some others do. However, because of the way I like to use the flat side to spread my foundation, and then the width/tip in a circular motion to blend/smooth it further in, this brush doesnt quite do it for me.

Meh. If you need something quick&cheap

Okay, so the tip is the felt tip style that I tend to love. It's a pen, it's got good colors, and it's a dollar. If you're just starting out liquid eyeliner, this isn't the BEST choice, but it's a very inexpensive and nonawful choice(and considering the amount of times I threw away liquid eyeliner out of sheer frustration in the beginning, cheap is pretty dang important).

The problems, however, are that this doesn't really last if you have oily lids and nothing prepping them. My mother seems to love it, and it doens't cause her too many problems, but for me, I apply it, blink, and BOOM I suddenly have a butterfly-paper art project from kindergarten on my lids.

These DO dry out fairly quickly if you're not careful with them, but at a dollar, you can't really complain tooooo much.
