This is THE BEST top coat! I purchased a Vinylux polish along with the top coat to try the system as it is meant to be used but it was awful. I barely got a couple days out of it. As the polish sat in my cabinet for months I wondered what I was going to do with such a useless product until I finally read reviews of people using it as a top coat over regular polish. So, after sandwiching my OPI between coats of Gelous and applying a coat of Seche Vite; I applied one coat of the Vinylux Top Coat and voila! Gel-like staying power. The first time I did it, I left for vacation the following day and spent 5 days in a pool. It started to have some tip wear around day 6. We had a ton going on and I wasn't able to give myself a new mani until day 14 and over half of my nails were still intact! Just tip wear and growth. I had a few nails chip but it isn't gel so, of course they're going to chip at some point! I don't usually write reviews often but I was so impressed with this top coat that I had to tell the world how awesome it is! Hope it works for everyone else as well as it worked for me.

First off, a good brow product should be as important as a good mascara. I never leave them out; even on light makeup days (which is almost every day). Even if you're running out of the house with the minimum, your brows should always be done because it makes a huge difference without anyone being able to pinpoint what is making your eyes look brighter and more awake. With that being said, this product is awesome. I can achieve the natural look that I go for because it blends well and stays on until I wash my face at the end of the day. I also use the Anastasia brow brush and it works great.

I purchased this mascara along with a volumizing mascara to try a new layering technique I saw online. Neither of the mascaras I purchased were suggested. I only needed a lengthening and a volumizing of my choice. I chose these merely based off of price at my local drugstore as they were on serious sale. I wasn't impressed with this mascara at first as I felt the formula was too thin and the brush didn't do a good enough job to keep my lashes separated after 2-3 coats. However, after a week or so, this mascara started to age gracefully. I've always noticed that old mascaras tend to work better than new ones so it isn't a shocker. Applying this mascara alone, I am able to achieve nice, long, separated lashes. I can't say that I notice a difference with the fibers although, I can see them on the wand. The wand has a slightly disheveled look with bristles going every which way and they're pretty firm and scratchy. Normally, I like firm, plastic bristles but this one gets the job done. This underneath a couple coats of the volumizing mascara I purchased and I have a fairly decent set of lashes. I only gave this mascara a 7 because it isn't a miracle worker but I'm going to continue using it as I'm pleased with the results.

I got a deluxe sample of this from Sephora and I feel it is a pretty decent mascara. I am sort of a mascara junkie and very picky with it. I like to have long, thick eyelashes! The brush is nice because it helps to separate (I hate clumpy lashes), however, felt it worked better as a "top coat" to my everyday mascara. There are great drugstore brands that deliver just as well as this but don't cost nearly as much.

I purchased this recently to help my poor over processed hair. It's long, almost black and usually very healthy. After deciding to "play" with my hair it saw a lot of peroxide, dye and tints. After it breaking constantly I decided on this product. I also purchased it with a Humectruss deep conditioner which was awful! It seemed to help a bit (even after using the entire bottle) but didn't do what I thought it would. It also made my hair very dry (hence the need for a deep conditioner afterwards). If you do purchase this, skip the Nexxus conditioners that the bottle recommends!

I went from nearly virgin, totally healthy, long hair to extremely processed within about a year. I changed my color and style constantly and having naturally (almost) black hair, you can only imagine how much peroxide, dyes and tints my poor hair had seen. I was in desperate need of repair. I purchased this with the Nexxus Emergencee (it was recommended to deep condition after using) assuming it would be a good choice. I couldn't have been more wrong. I should have returned both products but decided to finish them instead. Was a total waste of $20+!!! Save your money because I have no doubt that there's a drugstore brand out there that will actually deliver and for a fraction of the cost!

First off I was skeptical about the "toning" effect that was claimed because any ingredients that could potentially help with toning get washed down the drain. Second, I'm not usually a body wash person. I heard from a tattoo artist that his dermatologist recommends using shampoo for the face and body to all of her patients because it's ph balanced. With that being said, I gave this a shot without high expectations. It didn't surprise, nor disappoint. It is made by dove so I assumed it would be pretty moisturizing, which it is. Other than that, it is your typical Dove moisturizing body wash. It won't disappoint if all you're looking for is something that won't dry out your skin.

I don't know how this mascara has not yet been reviewed. A friend was using this mascara and loved it but I still wasn't convinced until the sales lady at Sephora talked me into it. I like that I can achieve a decent amount of volume with one coat and I definitely noticed that my lashes grew. It also doesn't flake or give me raccoon eyes at the end of the day. I don't know exactly what is in the mascara to cause growth but it's better than the chemicals, such as Lattisse, that I refuse to use. This mascara is vegan and I can tell that my lashes approve so I will most likely be purchasing again.

All I was expecting out of this product was volume but I got so much more! along with some volume, I achieved the best natural waves! I have the kind of hair that loses its wave/curl easily and then can become a little frizzy without enough smoothing products. Even my soon to be hubby complimented me! It smells really good too and I love that it's vegan!

I love Bare Minerals. I wear it everyday! I lasts throughout the day and has a huge range of coverage in just one little jar. It goes a long way too. Definitely worth it!
