I neither loved or hated the stuff. It added intense shine, but it also weighed down my hair sometimes. It smells great and you only have to use a small amount, but in the end, it didn't win me over.

These towelettes have been a godsend! I bought the lavender infused towelettes to wipe off the day. They seem to just dissolve (gently) any makeup on my face. It obliterates mascara and eyeliner! After using one my face feels fresh, toned and moisturized. For me, the effect lasts through the night and into the morning.

This is a great product! The formula sweeps away all my makeup and leaves my face feeling really fresh. I bought the green one since my face tends to be more on the oily side during the summer. In the winter and fall, I guess I'll have to go with the pink. The scrublet is great! The only complaint that I have is that the scrublet doesn't evenly disperse the product. So, I just squeeze a little bead onto my hand, rub on my face and use the scrublet after. Not too much of a complaint at all, if you ask me. My skin is noticibly more smooth, clear and radiant.

I'm not too crazy about the using the sticks as shadow alone. The final result can come out cakey if the shadestick is too dry. As otherwise stated, shadestick make great bases for eyeshadow. My favorite application is to use the lime green shade (I think it's called "lucky") and top it with MAC's Humid.

This product is great, the brush is not. I use another liner brush to acheive the classic cat-eye that I wear almost daily. I would say that this liner rivals Stila's smudgepots, but it is definitely not as pliable or forgiving. This could be a pro for some people, though. That line will stay put until you wash it off. By the way, I pack the included brush in my travel makeup bag to do my brows.

The price seemed right, but the product was very wrong. If you're looking for a product for your water line, this is not it. The makeup itself is waxy and doesn't show up well on the 1st swipe of the pencil. In fact, I had to really press for the liner to show up on my upper lid. One of the reasons why I'm giving it 3 stars is because the colors are pretty when they finally do show up. That and, since I can't bring them back, I can use them as an eyeshadow base.

I echo many sentiments when I say that I'm so glad that this is a matte bronzer. I pop my contouring brush in the compact and sweep under my cheekbones and jawbone. I use a bigger, fluffy brush if I want that all-over glow. Stila is and always has been my favorite brand. Summer's coming up, so watch out for sales! Products like this bronzer are kind of expensive on their own, but are often included in gift sets.

This is my new go-to powder. It's great for individuals with fair skin. It buffs out any redness and helps to over blemishes. I use this with Hard Candy's Sheer Envy Tinted Moisturizer and it leaves a flawless finish. The included brush is soft and pliable, but only really works for touch-ups. I use a kabuki brush to apply the product to my face.

I was in a drugstore and I snagged this for 50% off! I think it's normally priced around US $12, but I really couldn't tell you for sure. This powder is so soft and sheer, but it offers wonderful coverage due to the minerals. It lasts for most of the day and feels great on my skin. I have 2 qualms and they are both due to packaging. The brush is stuff and rigid, so be prepared to bust out a kabuki or your other powder brush. I also found myself beating the container upside down to get the powder through the "filter". I have since popped it off and used it to tap off the excess powder from my brush. *quick tip* You can use the brush that comes in the packaging to exfoliate. When I wash my face, I work the suds around with this brush. The result: Smooth skin.

I have to say this is the best tinted moisturizer that I have used. It glides right on the skin and offers buildable coverage. Once set, it feels like you have nothing on your skin. I find that it's the perfect substitute for days where I really don't want to wear a traditional foundation (hot / humid days, "good skin" days). After I add a little concealer where I need it, I finish it off with Physician's Formula Correcting Powder. The result is a flawless look on not-so flawless skin. I have to touch up a little during the day, but really isn't a big deal to me. The price is definitely right! I think I bought this for US $8 at Wal-Mart. The quality for the price is also right...a little can go a long way! The only complaint that I have is that if this product gets too near my eyes, they sting and water like crazy, which it kind of counterproductive to the makeup process. So, if you have sensitive eyes, beware! I have to say, though, that the pros definitely outweigh the cons...so I'm really careful around my eyes.
