I've been looking for a mascara like this for a long time! It doesn't take much mascara but when you put it on your lashes it really does volumize! It hardly clumps at all, and it makes your eyes really pop! At first when I saw the extremely large brush I was convinced that the mascara was going to suck, but the brush tapers off at the end making it easier to get the little lashes in the corners! It lasts FOREVER too! I totally recommend it.

I have the Inspired quad (a very pretty palette with dark blue, light green, ivory, and teal shown in the description picture) and I expected WAY more from this product. It has hardly any pigment! I had to apply so much to my lids to get any color payoff, even with the dark blue! It does last a very long time, but I hardly ever use it because I own so many better alternatives. I wouldn't recommend this. Maybe the other quads are more pigmented, but the one I own downright sucks!

I don't see why everyone hates this! I'm EXTREMELY fair skinned and I'm able to use it. I squeeze a VERY small amount of this onto my cheeks and blend with my finger, and the color (even though it starts off as a SUPER bright fuchsia) actually turned out to be pretty natural looking. It took awhile for me to figure out how to get this color, but once I did it was worth it. A little goes a REALLY long way with this product. If you have darker skin it probably wouldn't show up as well, but on fair skin it looks like a natural flush when blended out properly. I also really like the silky/smooth texture! It feels GREAT on my skin. It lasts a long time too for being silicone based. I probably wouldn't repurchase, but I'll definitely use it up.

At the moment, I only have a few of these lipsticks (a matte, and 2 lustre finishes) and I absolutely adore them. There are SO many amazing colors and finishes to choose from that it's almost impossible to only get one! They're not the most long lasting lipstick I've ever worn, but they do last awhile, especially the matte ones. For a MAC product, they're really inexpensive for the quality you get, and it's nice that you actually get to try them on your lips at the store/counter before you decide on your color. The vanilla scent may be annoying to some, but I'm a fan of scented makeup and I LOVE it! I still find I have to put on lip balm on before applying most of these lipsticks (not the cremesheen or the lustre though) as they can be a little bit drying (especially in the matte finish's case), but that doesn't bother me as you can easily get around it by putting lipbalm on underneath. I totally would recommend these to anyone!

I bought this without really researching it beforehand (which I normally do) because I needed something fast and it was available. I have combination skin that tends to get shiny in some areas and I like a powder that keeps me matte for awhile. This powder did just that. It lasted FOREVER (I spent an hour playing tennis in 90 degree heat and it was still there afterwards) and I was still matte. I have NEVER found another powder that did this. I'm hooked. I was using Maybelline's Dream Matte powder before, and I don't plan on going back to it anytime soon. Clinique offers a huge range of powders, which is a plus for me because it's so hard for me to find a powder that matches my extremely light skin tone. The powder doesn't even look cakey on my dry spots, which just makes it even better. It'll last you throughout the entire day and you won't need many touch-ups. The little sponge that comes with it is worth a mention too. I usually find myself throwing away most included applicators for any type of makeup, but this sponge works really well. It gives you a little bit of coverage as opposed to using a brush (which just mattifies). I typically only use the brush, but the sponge will be really helpful when I'm traveling. I TOTALLY recommend this product and I'll definitely be repurchasing it.

First of all, this is a gorgeous lipgloss. It goes on your lips nice and smooth, there are many colors to choose from (and they're pretty much all gorgeous), and they do really plump your lips. They also smell like cupcakes too, which is always a plus. I was about ready to buy a few of these the last time I was at Sephora until I tried them on. First of all, the "tingle" you were supposed to feel was so intense it almost felt like it was burning my lips. I was surprised because I usually like that feeling, but it was just too much. It's not bad enough to cause me not to buy it though. Second of all, I got a little bit in my mouth and instantly regretted it. It BURNED my mouth! If you've ever had the experience of getting wet nail polish in your mouth, that's what it tasted like. It tasted like what I'd imagine hand sanitizer would taste like. It was one of the most disgusting things I've ever tasted in my life. I'm not completely sure if they ALL taste like that, or I just tried a dud, but I wouldn't repurchase to find out, as they're a bit expensive. (Looking at other reviews it seems as though I did in fact get a bad tube) If you don't mind the taste or tingle, it's an amazing lip gloss, but the taste just ruined the entire thing for me. I wouldn't recommend it.

I've had this particular curler for about a year now, and I've had little to no problem with it. It curls my lashes really nicely and the curl holds for awhile (some mascaras make it last longer than others). It's really inexpensive for the quality that you get! It also doesn't pinch like many mascaras I've tried. My only complaint is that while it's really good at getting my tiny inside lashes, it has a hard time getting the longer lashes on the outside of my eyes. Overall I'd recommend this product and I'd buy it again.

This is hands down the worst flat-iron I've ever tried. I have almost PERFECTLY straight hair that only is wavy if I sleep on it while it's wet, and this wouldn't even straighten the slight wave out. It took like half an hour to get warm, and it made my hair SUPER gross and frizzy, even with a protecting spray over it. It's a joke of a tool.

This mascara is the definition of average. It doesn't suck, but it's not good either. It makes my lashes a little bit longer, but doesn't hold a curl at all. It made my lashes really defined, black and shiny, but it flaked off really fast. I wouldn't buy this again. I recommend spending your money on something higher quality than this product.

For the longest time, I used a white liner on my waterline to make my eyes look bigger. I mean, it did look okay, but this makes it look so much more natural! It's super creamy and goes on my waterline really well and of course, it makes me look a lot more awake, and it makes my eyes bigger. It's a bit pricey, but no more than an Urban Decay pencil liner. I use this on an almost-daily basis, and I love it so much! This is a product I'll repurchase whenever I run out, and if they discontinue it, I'll be extremely disappointed. I totally recommend it to anyone who wants super awake looking eyes!
