This is the goddess of all eye-popping mascaras -- a must-try (which consequently becomes a must-have) for every woman. I started using this when I was 15 - my best friend's mom gave us a sample size - and it has since set the precedent for all mascaras. Nothing lives up to the sky-scraping length, the meticulously separating brush and the all-day/all-night smudgeless formula. And the retail cost - $22 every few months is more than worth every penny of results.

Seriously, if you haven't invested in a bottle of this, you must be living under a rock - and your fingernails should be furious. You're missing out on nails you never knew you could have! My thin nails that peel and break no matter what. But with this on to protect them, I've got ten super fingers! My nails grow and grow and grow. The drawback? It's a little pricer than I would like to spend on a bottle of nailpolish -- especially because you have to reapply every few days, otherwise it doesn't look great on your nails (cracks and chips like any other nailpolish), and won't its job as well.

I'm a mascara junkie. I'll be the first to admit it. Even though I have an all-time ultimate favorite mascara, I find myself in department stores, drug stores, spas, everywhere - looking for a new contender, a secret weapon to rival my old favorite. This week, I somehow veered into an ULTA store and came across this little number. I've never used a Smashbox product, so I thought - hey, why not start here? 'Smashbox' sounds pretty dramatic, and the price point is a little high - $22 - so I figured it might live up to my standards. And it does in a way - this mascara is perfect for an everyday, around the house "I just woke up and my eyelashes naturally look like this" kind of look. It separates each lash perfectly, and no matter how many times you swipe - there's no clumping! The color is great, too. As for me? I like a little more drama in terms of length. And this mascara just doesn't seem to lengthen at all - even with many coats. I suggest it for domestic goddesses who want a reliable, super natural-looking product.

This product must have been created at the beginning of time. I raided my mom's cabinet when I was thirteen and have never looked back. Since that day, I've warmed a tiny bit of this magic oil between my palms and smoothed it over my hair every single day of my life. So whether I straighten, blow dry or walk out of the door, my hair is smooth, rich and healthy from root to tip. And at under $4, it's definitely the greatest beauty secret of my life.

This bright red tube of mascara adds a little sparkle to my makeup bag. It's smaller than you'd think - perfect for my hand, but a fair warning to those of you who like a bigger wand. The brush coats my lashes perfectly without clumping, and the color is great for every day or going out. Just add a few strokes for more dramatic eyelash battability! The only (slight) drawback for me is the lengthening - it adds lots of volume, but I am partial to super length.

During my first visit to get a facial, I told my esthetician what type of exfoliator I was using. With a small gasp and a lift of a finger I was given the superior alternative - Pumice Peel. There is nothing like this soothing, effective scrub. It feels so gentle, but your skin truly glows after a single use. Even my husband is a devotee. As for the price? An exfoliator is a must have for every skin care regimen, so why not stick with the best I've ever tried? Used twice weekly, the jar lasts me and about four months.

I'm not a hair product junkie, but my sister works in an uber-fancy salon, and she'd kill me if I didn't have something fancy in my aresenal. So this is it. I use it every day before blow drying. Yes, a tiny 'hazelnut-sized' dollup goes a long way. So unless you're Lady Godiva, this bottle will last you until the end of time. It keeps my hair smooth, soft and manageable (which it is any way, so I can't say that's an honest variable for me). But what I do love about it, is the color protection. I highly recommend it for anyone who colors his/her hair. It, without a doubt, protects my hair from fading. And my hair is red, so that's quite a product feat!

I use Probotix as an age-preventative serum. My esthetician recommended it to me about a year ago. I'm 26, but typical 'anti-aging' formulas tend to be too heavy for my skin. This is a light, gel-like formula. This product hits its description right on the nose. After only a few weeks of using it, I noticed a significant change in my skin. A year later, my skin continues to look better and better. I'm not sure how to describe the change other than my skin truly feels stronger and more radiant. My skin is less prone to redness - expecially in the colder months. Being an ingredient maniac, the topical calcium and probiotics must take a major part in this. It's a pricey tube of product, but I prefer spending my money on a product that works and a brand I can trust.

I'll admit, I do like the deep, black color of this mascara. However, if you don't get the look you want with one swipe of the wand, forget it, and just say hello to goopy spider eyes. And for my fellow Dior lovers, I must (unfortunately) warn you that the formula doesn't hold up to my undereye concealer, and I get raccoon circles within an hour or two of wearing. I've never had such a smudge problem with any mascara! This mascara is best left to professionals with major tricks up their sleeves.
