I bought and tried this product twice. This face scrub has a lot of things I really liked about it, and a lot of things I really didn't. First the pros. The smell was great. Very natural, almost reminiscent of a gingerbread cookie. It also felt gentle on the skin, but you could still tell is was really scrubbing and exfoliating. Also, despite my initial hesitations, a little bit went a lot further than I thought. Now, for the cons, which will probably cause me not to re-purchase this product. The scrub didn't seem to rinse off very well, and left a residue on my skin that I didn't care for. I had to use a light foaming cleanser to remove the residue and any leftover exfoliating particles. Also, the packaging was a little strange to me. It rusted in my humid bathroom and was a little difficult to open. And since it was hard to screw the lid back on, water got in and messed up the consistency and integrity of the product. Also, the second time I purchased this face scrub I didn't use it all right away, and when I went to open it and use it after a period of time, the product seemed to go bad. I assume this was due to the natural ingredients, which is both good and bad. People seem to really like this face scrub, but maybe it's just not for me!

I love big, bold lashes, and have tried countless mascaras in the pursuit. Disappointed by most, this mascara has never let me down! I have been a loyal user for years, and always have this mascara in my makeup kit. The formula is great. It builds up the lashes well, without sticking them together or creating that spider-leg look. It also dries quickly, and dries matte, which I think makes for a bolder look. It has always been easy to get my lashes to look right and then build up volume and length. I even use this as a base under other mascaras. The only problems I have had with this mascara is that the brush gets clumps which deposit at the base of my lashes and are nearly impossible to fix, and that as the day goes on I occasionally get black streaks on my brow bone where my lashes touch when I look up. Overall, this mascara is worth a try! And is usually around $6, which is a total steal. L'Oreal does a 2-for-1 promo on this mascara, which is awesome and I suggest you take full advantage of if you catch it. You wont regret it!

This is my favorite skin-care product of all-time! I have oily skin with areas with large pores, and I struggle with acne and those pesky blackheads. And I'll be honest, I don't always take care of my skin the way I should. My laziness wreaks havoc on my skin. Thankfully, I can reply on this mask to help undo some of the damage and improve my skin overall. The mask smells minty and amazing, and tingles when you apply it, sometimes intensely. The tightening as it dries was a little weird at first, but worth it. As it dries you can literally see what it is drawing out from your pores! When you rinse it off your face is kind of flushed and red from the blood flow being stimulated, which is key to improving skin health and/or healing! Application and rinsing off can be a little messy and kind of a pain, but the benefits are beyond worth it! Immediately after using my skin looks clearer and my pores look smaller. I even notice an improvement in my acne and blackheads. Plus it just FEELS cleaner. When I am on top of my skincare game, I use this mask once a week. I just apply it 15-20 minutes before I shower, and rinse it off in there, followed my a cleanser and moisturizer. When used consistently, I definitely notice a significant improvement in my acne and blackheads, as well as overall condition and look of my skin. And for around $5 it is beyond worth it for anyone with oily or acne-prone skin to try! I will be a loyal Mint Julep Mask user for as long as I can foresee!

I bought these towelettes on a whim. But I have to say I am pretty impressed! This is the only wipe to conpletely remove my makeup, even my stubborn mascara. And it removed everything easily. No other cleansing wipe has even come close to that! I did enjoy the slight tingle after using. The only thing I haven't liked so far is that my normally oily skin felt a little tight, but nothing some moisturizer can't help. Overall, these towelettes are great for those lazy nights that I don't want to wash my face, even though I know I should. I would definitely repurchase and give them a chance to live up to the promised benefits. But if not, then they are still a great makeup removing cleansing towelette!

I have unpredictable wavy hair. I used to not dare to style it wavy and leave the door with it still wet. I have no idea how many products and styling tricks I have tried. I randomly bought this curl spray and have been a loyal repeat-purchaser ever since! I don't dare try to style my hair wavy without it. I have never had a problem with it leaving my hair crunchy, or weighing it down. It definitely defines the curl and leaves me with a uniform texture. The trick for me is to comb my hair in the shower with a large-tooth comb, towel dry (squeezing the hair, not rubbing), and then separate my hair into 2-3 layers to help with an even application. I spray wxh layer liberally and gently scrunch. Then i flip my head over and scrunch gently again. Sometimes I gently mist my hair with a light hairspray or spray in some root boster. Then don't touch the curls! Just let them air dry. The secret truly is this spray!!! Even the day after shampooing and wearing it curly I will spray all over my dry and scrunch, and end up with refreshed and revitalized waves with volume. I have yet to find anything better, and will continue to always have this product in my curly-hair arsenal!!!

I have the NYX white eyeshadow base, and overall I think it's a great product. It's a thicker consistency, which I like. The white is perfect for doing colorful looks or any look that you really want the shadow to pop. It definitely prevents creasing amd improves the longevity of shadows. The biggest complaint I have is thatit becomes extremely difficult to get the product out whenit gets used a bit. I always seem to accidentally dig my nail into it and it's a pain. Other than that it's a gfood product and worth the price
