I have made the mistake of running out of this and not having a backup handy. Then trying other brands and realizing I was wasting both my time and money. This is the *best* lip primer. My favorite lipstick shade is RED. Red is hard to wear. It feathers. It stains. It gets messy. It dries out. And it can fade very quickly. Let me just say that this helps with all of that. I ALWAYS have this on under my lipstick. I put this on, then my lip liner and then my lipstick. It hydrates your lips without being greasy or glossy and it grabs onto your lipstick so that it lasts all day. I always get a ton of compliments when I wear my red lipstick (MAC Russian Red by the way) especially as I can eat a 5 course meal and it does not move. I would say that I contribute a part of that to this product.

Anytime I travel, this is the palette I bring. I don't even know how I ever traveled without it. I'm being completely serious. All the shades except one are matte. They are all completely universal, so you can create a ton of looks with just this one palette. It can create a completely natural look or even a dramatic smokey look. The packaging is great! Its super sturdy and solid. It closes shut really well and WILL NOT OPEN in your bag. Its small but not too small (its literally the size of an iPhone). The mirror inside is really big so if that is the only mirror you have available, you can still get everything done. The best part for me? Not only do I use this for eye shadow, but one of the matte shades is the exact same color I use to fill in my brows! So instead of having to carry two compacts, an eyeshadow and eyebrow, I just bring this one and it covers both for me. YES!

I got this primer in a pinch. I was going away and I didn't have time to get to a MAC in order to repurchase their lip primer (my favorite one!). I was by a sephora and so I stopped in and figured I'd try this one. What a waste. This is SUPER drying on my lips. My lips feel terrible after applying this. So terrible that I do not want to put anything on over it. It does not make my lipstick stay any longer. In fact, because it is so drying, it makes me want to take my lipstick off. I definitely would not repurchase. The only up side to this product is that the packaging is pretty. Other than that, I hated it. I will definitely make sure to keep the MAC Lip Primer handy.

I really was hopeful with this spray. I have really oily skin and I get shiny very quickly. I tend to only use this spray during the warmer months primarily because that is when I get oily the fastest. I think that this spray is good but for me it does not work all day. I think its best used when i have an event or something to go to and I know that I will only need it to work for a few hours.

Urban Decay has some of the best eye shadows in the market. I own a whole bunch of their single eye shadows. My favorite being Sin and Lounge. They are creamy and super pigmented. A little product goes a long way here and I think they are reasonably priced compared to some of their competitors.

I overall like this primer. I like that it comes in different shades too in case you want to mix it up a bit. I don't however think that this is the best primer out there. I am still on the hunt for the primer that will keep my eye shadow from creasing on my super oily eyelids :(

I think that Urban Decay just keeps upping the ante for their Naked palettes. I thought that the original Naked was good and then I got this one. This one is better (in my opinion) than the original as it has more cool tones in it. I am very fair so I really like to use a nude or cool tones eye shadow as a base and for me, this palette has more options for that. They also got better with the packaging. This palette is great for travel as it has a nice hard metal case that snaps shut so you don't have to worry about it popping open in your bag. The case is super sturdy.

Ok, ok, ok. Everyone raves about the Naked palettes. I'm sure there a ton of people who are tired of hearing about these but they really are amazing. Its so easy to grab one of these have a plethora of colors to use in your hand that are WEARABLE. I find that neutral palettes are really what I gravitate toward. My only complaints about this particular palette is the following: 1- The packaging is not ideal for travel. The top easily flips open 2- Why did I not buy this palette sooner!?

Since I go through a lot of dry shampoo, I have tried a ton of different brands. (I wash my hair, but I'm blonde and my hair damages very quickly, so I try to limit the shampooing so I don't kill my hair). Anyway, I went to the drugstore in search of a new brand, I was so sick of the Suave one I was using. I spotted this one, and I LOVE Dove products so I immediately needed to try this one. I'm so glad I did. It has now become my favorite drugstore option. Its under $5 (depending on where you get it) and its got such a clean and fresh scent. Its not overpowering and it really makes my hair feel fresh and clean. I have since bought a few more bottles! Thanks Dove!

I LOVE dry shampoo. I was super happy when this first came out because I love trying new ones. I immediately fell in love with it. The price was right, the product was effective and the smell was great (it smells fruity, like a pina colada). But after using 3 bottles in a row, the smell is now what I don't like. Although its a nice smell, its strong and my nose is tired of it. I have since started using other brands primarily because the smell on this one is just making me sick.
