I was very excited about this stuff, because I've just discovered the joy of using shadow as liner. I'm fair, so it adds a less severe line and looks more natural. So I was psyched about this stuff -- shadow designed to be a liner. But it's not that great. for one thing, when you open the little vial, powder dumps all over your hands, which sucks because it's so pigmented it gets everywhere. And then, even with tapping the brush off, it still gets under my eyes. I don't want to wet it, because that defeats the purpose of using a powder to get a very soft line. Plus, it seems to come off easier than the eyeshadows from NARS and MAC that I've been using -- which doesn't make ANY sense, because it's supposed to be a liner. I say just save your money and stick with ultra-pigmented shadows to line.

This stuff is fantastic. I barely need a lash comb to separate my lashes. I don't know that it's making any different over the long term -- but each time I put it on, I'm happy! It feels very natural on my lashes, doesn't smudge, and gets all of the little lashes. It's a keeper!

This stuff works okay. It does take out frizz, although my hair feels kind of thick and hard. But the smell is overwhelming, Even a few hours after putting it on, it still smells like an old lady's cheap perfume. Even if this was a miracle treatment, I wouldn't buy it again because of the stench.

Everyone talks about how awesome this stuff is -- and I was not having any of it. But finally, two friends convinced me to give it a shot. Everything you hear is true -- it's fantastic! Everything stays put all day. It's almost scary. I also like how it evens out the skintone of my eyelids, which, as a redhead, are a little veiny and icky. My only complaint might be that this works TOO well. I don't usually use eye makeup remover, which I like, because that's one less step in my bedtime ritual. With this stuff, I HAVE to use eye makeup remover. Pretty impressive!

I use NARS shadows for everything. A lighter shade can be applied on the browbone area, and a darker one on the eyelid. My favorite thing to do is use the dark shades as a liner. This stuff has amazing staying power, the pigment is incredible, and the colors are unique and fun. This is my favorite brand of shadow. Used as a liner, it stays better than pencil liners, and even powders marketed specifically as liners. The formula goes on smoothly. It is totally worth the money. Consider this before any and all other brands!

I have very light colored eyelashes, so in order to not look like a streetwalker, I need a mascara that doesn't "fatten" lashes. I know lots of people want that, but for me it just doesn't work. This stuff looks pretty natural and makes my lashes a lot longer. I still need to brush them out a bit, but the result isn't nearly as clumpy and smudgy as a lot of mascaras. I recommend it for anyone looking for really long lashes without that thick appearance that is so popular.

Half chapstick, half lip gloss -- this stuff really moisturizes, and it does have some staying power. Seems like a generous size too in comparison to others. I keep one in my purse at all times. I have found over time that it gets a bit moldy smelling. I don't know if there is too much dry skin on my lips when I apply it, or what -- but when I open it, sometimes it smells moldy. If I wash it and then keep it opened to air out, the smell goes away -- but it is a bit disconcerting!

I've heard a lot about this product, so I finally went out and bought a bottle. It's fantastic. It dries so quickly -- even after putting on a base coat and three layers of color (for those without a lot of saturation) -- it keeps me from nicking the color. I'm a careless lady -- but this stuff saves me every time! The price point is higher than the drugstore stuff -- but totally reasonable for the results that you get!

I really like the weight and the design of the brush. I feel like it is easy to use. I use it mainly to line my eyes with shadow, since I like a softer, smokier line. I wish it was a bit less wide, because sometimes it can be a bit hard to maneuver. Also, I would like the bristles a tiny bit stiffer. I might get an angled brush next time -- but that is just personal preference. Definitely a good quality brush -- and the people at the MAC store really know their products!

This stuff works pretty well. I literally stick my pointy little elbow in the jar and just rub it in there until it's covered. I do notice less dryness on my elbows. It's kind of greasy though, so I wouldn't trust it on my face. I got it free and enjoy it, but I won't buy it again because the price is too high. Reminiscent of Vaseline, and that stuff is just a whole lot cheaper!
