I love Drew Barrymore and I love that she has her own line of accessible make-up . This is a nice product if you want to dip your toes into her line. I only have one stick, Berry-more, and it's a nice mid-deep berry colour. It has a heavy colour pay-off; I use a light hand when I apply it. It has a nice velvet lack-of-sheen appearance and wears nicely. It has a "dry slip" feel once you apply, so you can move it around your lips to get better coverage. That "slip" fades in a few minutes to give the velvet look. You feel it on your lips slightly, but it is not drying. It can transfer easily and it is not long wearing.

I have been on a foundation hunt for awhile now (who isn't?). I have a few I like, but when it's summer, I have very oily skin & my "regulars" can't hold up. I tried this after a You Tuber suggestion & it's really nice. Gives me a nice matte finish (I like brush application over sponge). It is a little flat, so contouring is a must, but it holds up nicely with heat, sweat, & humidity. I was sweating 20 min after applying and it showed no signs of breaking down (blot do not rub). By end of day, it has faded a bit - some of my redness started to peek through - but still impressively good looking.

I have hooded, slightly down-turned eyes and sometimes I wonder why I bother with eyeshadow outside of a neutral. Enter these pencils. Great colour selection, nice chubby stick - I keep my shadow clean and get my colour from a line of one of these. The French Fries works magic with my green eyes. I had a little struggle with the purple at first, but after a couple of uses, it is a smooth to apply as my others (I have a copper, purple, blue sapphire, gray, & evergreen). They are easy to sharpen, they go on smoothly, and they last a decent amount of time. Plus, they are priced nicely. They colour my waterline very smoothly as well. Definitely a buy

I am lazy & I do not like putting on lotion after a shower. This is great! I turn the shower off, use this product all over, rinse it off & get out of the shower. My skin is much less dry. I highly recommend

My SIL gave this to me when it didn't work for her and I am very happy it didn't. I like the tiny bit of scrub this creamy cleanser has. I like it best if I wet my hands, but apply it to a dry face. It washes off in one good swipe & my normally oily/combo face is soft, smooth, & visibly matte. I didn't give a 10 b/c when I use a toner after, I still seem to remove dirt that the cleanser missed and the price tag. I will buy again when I find some good deals

I've heard quite a few things about this product, so I gave it a try & I like it. I use it just about every day and I like the way my skin feels after repeated use. It's smoother and a bit tighter. I am still dealing with a lot of redness in the T-zone, but my Derm says AHAs & BHAs can aggravate rosacea (though that isn't what I have per se). I gave 8 stars b/c I use a few new products right now, so I don't know how much is coming from one product or another, but I am almost through my first bottle & already purchased a replacement

I use Lavanila deo regularly, but it's pricey. Then I found this at my Meijer & it's a really nice natural deo. The scent is ok (which is why I give it 8 stars). I have the Ylang Ylang & Calendula & it's nice & musky. However, as the day wears on & your body temp goes up, the scent seems to get stronger & it's all I can smell. Now the up side is there's no body odor coming through, even on really hot, sweaty days. I plan on trying a different scent when I'm through with this one. I still keep my Lavnila handy for nicer occasions, but my every, average day I reach for my Schmidt's

I love this deodorant. I've only used the coconut kind, so I cannot comment to the other scents, but I assume they would all work the same. When I became pregnant, I stopped using antiperspirants per my hubby's request. I've tried a few natural deos with NO luck, but reviews rated this one well. It holds up very well. I am a sweater & this kept the funk away. Now, if it's a hot day & I've been working outside sweating a lot, it does need to be reapplied. But on an average day, running in & out of A/C or outside not being too active (like a BBQ) you're covered. I didn't give it 10 stars because it is a bit pricey, but I keep buying it!

I bought this mascara on a whim: Target had these on clearance for $2. I don't usually do the "mega" look, but for $2 - who can resist? I actually like this mascara! I went back & bought two more (again $2!) The mascara is a nice black, it transfers nicely onto my lashes and deposits a lot of product. I have average lashes & this mascara makes them stand out. Now the cons: because it is the "mega effect" & deposits a lot of product it can get a clumpy look if your not careful. The brush - silicone with short & long "teeth" - can help to clean up the clumpier places. Another downside is that the product stays wet for a bit & you have to be careful to not sneeze/blink too hard or you will be cleaning mascara off your eye area. Otherwise, it's a nice mascara.

I bought this mascara by mistake, but thought I'd give it a try. I'm not into the "spider effect" - I don't have a lot of lashes, so I like volume, not clusters. The wand is different: it is skinny and has short silicone teeth on only 75% of the head. There is a blank stripe on the wand that I assume is to layer on a lot of mascara for the "spider effect". The instructions didn't really mention this feature, but after trial & error, I think you start with the flat side & get a lot of product on your lashes & then sweep the bristles through. I tried it a number of ways & I seem to get varied results from one eye to the other. The formula is nice, though very wet. It easily gets on the eyelids & under eye. If you like experimenting, then give this a try. I won't be purchasing this again, but it's not a terrible mascara.
