I just used the Sebastian Stylbrid 9 hairspray the other day when I was getting ready for work, and so far, I am pretty impressed. Being that it's a heat protection spray and a hairspray in-one has allowed me to reach for less products. I like how it goes out as a mist, it smells great, AND it leaves my hair feeling touchable! Rarely do you find a hairspray that has all of these qualities.

I came home earlier today from running errands, surprised to see a big box from Total Beauty waiting for me on my doorstep. I opened it and was shocked that I had actually received the Temptu AIRbrush Signature Starter Kit to review. My kit came with 5 AIRpods: a foundation in 004 Sand, 2 blushes (Peony Pink and Soft Peach), a bronzer in Warm Glow, and a highlighter in Champagne. At first, I looked at the whole kit confused as to how to use it because I have never used an airbrush system before, but once I read the manual, I felt more at ease. Setup was pretty straightforward and easy as well. I only had time to test out one AIRpod so far, which was the foundation, and so far I am AMAZED by this product! It matches my skin tone so well and makes my skin look flawless and natural. Application is a bit trickier than applying regular liquid foundation, but with a little more practice, I think I would definitely be able to get the hang of using the system.

This lotion is extremely moisturizing and would be great for people with really dry or sensitive skin. There are no added fragrances in this lotion and it has sodium lactate in it, which helps get rid of chicken skin aka keratosis pilaris. I have chicken skin on the back of my arms and legs and I have been using this product for almost 3 months now, several times a week, and I have noticed my skin condition to be getting noticeable better. This lotion is a bit thick and greasy and leaves a sticky feel on my skin, but I love how this product is improving the appearance of my skin, so I will definitely continue to use it and repurchase it when I run out.

This lip balm is truly amazing! It works so good that I seriously cannot see myself purchasing another brand of lip balm or chapstick other than this one again. I tend to get chapped lips, especially when the weather changes and living in the Bay Area that is pretty much often. I have heard great stuff about this product many times before and how many professional makeup artists use this product, but have been lagging on trying it myself. Before using this product, I thought I had already found great lip products to relieve my chapped lips, but after using this just recently in the past two months, I now see what I have been missing out on. Smith's Rosebud Salve relieves my chapped lips like no other product can. It keeps my lips moisturized for hours! Even after eating and drinking, this product hardly wears off on my lips. Also you get a great amount of the product for its price. The only thing I don't like is how it has too much of a floral scent to it when it's in its tin packaging, but once it's on my lips I don't smell it, which is awesome. This is one of the few products that have now become a staple in my makeup bag. I seriously do recommend this for anyone looking for a great and effective moisturizing lip balm.

I'm turning 24 soon and I don't have wrinkles, but have subtle dark circles. I have used this whole product up already and it has made no noticeable difference at all. Very disappointing especially since it's so pricey. RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream actually works a lot better in getting rid of dark circles. Not only that, but it made my skin feel really smooth as well. I guess I will be going back to that one.

I have subtle dark circles and although this night cream is not labeled as saying it helps with dark circles, it certainly has with mine. I read online that retinol has the benefit of minimizing dark circles. I could have went with something else that's made specifically for dark circles, but I decided to go with this instead because I read so many reviews about it being a great product and it even helping others to minimize the appearance of their dark circles. I'm so glad I had purchased this. It feels light on my skin and it doesn't bother my sensitive skin either. Not only did it greatly minimize the appearance of my dark circles, but it had noticeably made my skin smoother and my complexion clearer. The only complaint I have about it, is that it dried the delicate area of skin under my eye a bit, but that stopped after about my second week of using it. I guess it just took my skin some time to get use to the retinol. Overall, a great product.

I was at Target when I noticed this cute little $1 brush and so bought it because I really needed to replace my old Mark concealer brush (which I love) because the whole bristle fell out unfortunately. Luckily this concealer brush was only $1 because it does not work well in applying concealer. The brush is too tiny and much too hard to be used around the delicate skin around the eye area and it poorly distributes concealer around, but I luckily I found another use for it. This concealer brush actually works well as a lip brush. I use it to apply lipstick and it works great. It helps to give a nice clean line around the lips and nicely distributes the lipstick on my lips smoothly. If I hadn't found this new use for it, then I would've just given the product 2 stars.

I have decent length curly lashes so I rarely use eyelash curlers because I don't really find the need to, but sometimes I have one lash that sticks straight out and that is when I use this eyelash curler. It gives my lashes a nice subtle curl. It's a nice size and doesn't pinch my eyes. I also had mine for almost 5 years now and with the same rubber pad. I suppose it lasted me this long because I use it literally once every month or two, just when I need to and I clean it well after each use. Sometimes I do want a dramatic curl, but this eyelash curler only gives a subtle and natural looking one. But it definitely works good for its price.

These oil absorbing sheets do not work very well. Its quality matches its price. Small sheets of paper that are so thin, they tend to rip easily when being used. Does a bad job at absorbing oil as well because the oil on my face resurfaces too quickly after using these, I say within 35-40 minutes. And I have to use 2 or 3 of these sheets, using every inch of it, to get the job done, whereas I would only have to use one with Clean & Clear's oil absorbing sheets. The disposable toilet sheet coverings actually work better than these elf sheets, and they're free!

This is a great brush for applying gel eyeliner. It gives a really clean line and works extremely well for doing a winged eyeliner look. Perfect brush size, really soft bristles with the perfect amount of density. I've also had mine for over 4 years now and it is in perfect condition, just like the day I bought it. Great quality brush. Definitely my best purchase from MAC.
