I really like these liners! They really stay put through everything. It's really hard to find a good waterproof liner that actually works. They go on smooth. They come in gorgeous colors. The pencil itself lasts a long time. I only wish these pencils went on my waterline better, because as of now they're completely useless when I try to use them there. I really like how they look on my upper lid though. Personally, I prefer Urban Decay's 24/7 pencil liners...but these are a pretty close second.

The product itself is great. It gives good coverage, feels like I don't have anything on, evens out my skin...but sadly is way too dark. I have that kind of extremely pale skin reserved only for redheads...and even the Ivory shade was too dark for me. It would be such a good foundation if I could actually WEAR it. I'd recommend it only if you have tanner skin.

This isn't a true BB cream. It's more of a tinted moisturizer. It's very oily and my entire face was an oil slick about an hour after using it, so it's definitely only for dry skin types. I might use it for going out really quickly, but I'll skip it if I'm going somewhere for more than a few hours. The other problem I have with it are the shades. The lightest one is too dark for my skin, and makes me look over bronzed. It did even out my skin despite the darkness. There IS SPF in this, which is a plus, but the sunscreen in it makes it super oily and greasy. I have to apply around 3 layers of powder, because the cream soaks up all of it. It's definitely more of a tinted moisturizer as it does almost nothing for covering up imperfections (other than evening out your skin, of course). I wouldn't buy this again. The price is a plus though...you get a really large tube of this for only 12 dollars.

I bought this primer because it was the first decent looking, inexpensively priced primer I found, and I honestly wasn't expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that this primer did everything it claimed to do! It doesn't clog my pores, feels great on my skin (it's like putting on a moisturizer), it gives me that lit-from-within glow, and it makes my skin look flawless in general. In terms of making my foundation last longer, I can't say much (my foundation lasts all day without a primer. Yeah, I splurged on it), but I feel like it would probably pass that test with flying colors too! I love how you really don't need to use much and the bottle lasts for a really long time. I wish it had SPF, but I don't mind much that it doesn't since most foundations have it mixed in. It also keeps my skin moisturized. I'd totally buy this again and I really do recommend it! By the way, I'm talking about the non-tinted clear formula. I've noticed that almost all the negative reviews are talking about the original formula, which has a weird salmon-orange tint to it. So I'd recommend buying the clear (002) instead of the tinted (001) primer.

This is one of my favorite foundations. First of all, it covers amazingly. You can choose how much coverage you want by layering it. It says it can double as a concealer and that definitely isn't a lie. Unless I've got a really obvious problem-area on my face, I can now usually skip concealer altogether! The consistency of this product is kind of like a stick of concealer. You're better off applying it with a foundation brush, as it makes the finish more natural. You really don't need much to cover your entire face, and since it's a solid stick, it lasts FOREVER! Some people seem to be complaining about how it's oily, but as long as you set it with powder, you'll be completely fine. I have somewhat oily skin, and even though this foundation claims to not have to be set, it looks nicer if I do put powder on afterwards. Another plus to this foundation is its staying power. It lasts through EVERYTHING! And wearing a primer only makes it last longer! It's waterproof, so you can even sweat and get your face wet and it'll still be there. I was amazed when the lady at Ulta put some on her hand, ran it under water, and the water just beaded up and came off without making the foundation look ANY different. Try it yourself. I also love how it doesn't clog my pores, despite it having a really thick creamy texture. It's a bit pricey at $40, but it's really completely worth it!

These are really good eye shadows as long as you use primer first. They come in really pretty colors and are really pigmented. They also blend really nicely too. I like MAC colors a little bit more, but these usually get chosen over those because the price. They're so inexpensive! The quality makes them worth way over the price. There are so many different shades and finishes that compliment every skin tone and eye color, it's really hard to choose just one. With these, I can experiment with colors I wouldn't normally wear and not blow on my money on something I'll only potentially wear twice. It's kind of a win-win. I definitely recommend buying these eye shadows. You won't be disappointed.

I wish I could afford more of these babies. They're just so amazing. They last absolutely forever, and they're super pigmented. They're super smooth and satiny and are so easy to blend! They don't crease either, even when I don't wear primer. The container flips open so there's no mess, and you get a lot of product for what you pay for! The colors that show up on your lid are exactly what they look like in the pot, and they're all gorgeous to begin with. There are more than 150 shades to choose from, and they're all gorgeous and I wish I could afford them all. If you're not willing to spend a lot on eyeshadow, you could save some money by buying one of their palettes. I don't think I've ever run out of a MAC eye shadow. They just go on and and on and never run out! Just that fact makes the product worth the price. I feel like everyone should have a few of these in their makeup bag for everyday use. I currently only have 2, but I plan on adding more to my collection soon, because they're just so great!

This is one of the most amazing glosses I've ever tried! It's not sticky at all and it's so gorgeous! The tube is super cute and it's got a light on it! The only thing I don't like is that it's really expensive. If you're willing to spend that type of money on a lipgloss you WON'T be disappointed. I recommend it!

I'm a huge polish whore, and have been searching for the perfect top coat for a long time now. My prayers were answered when I found this polish. Not only does it dry SUPER fast (I tend to put many layers of polish on and it dries them all in around 5 minutes. This is compared to a few hours with normal clear nail polish) and it keeps all the colors super bright and pretty! It also keeps my nails from chipping for a long time. I actually start getting bored of the color or design before it starts getting gross and chipping off! It might be a little expensive, but it's definitely worth it and I refuse to buy anything else. Nothing else compares at all to the quality of this stuff. It's a must have for all polish lovers! My only complaint is the stuff starts thickening halfway through the bottle, but all you need is polish thinner and it goes right back to normal.

I got a few of these for free with an offer, and I really wanted to like them. The colors were nice enough, but they went on really streaky and it took a lot of coats (at least 3) to get a solid color. About a day later it was already chipping! I would never actually pay money for this, and even though I got it for free, I wish I could return it. Save yourself some time and money, and don't buy it.
