Girls with wavy and curly hair know how hard it is to find that *one* product that perfects your hair. Well, this product comes pretty dang close for me. I've tried about a million gels, mouses, creams and sprays for curly hair, and most all of them either do nothing, make my hair frizzy or leave a crunchy residue on my hair. Well, not this product! I was very skeptical because this product feels much thinner than your average gel, so I was expecting it to do nothing. Imagine my amazement when my hair dried with defined, less-frizzy curls! It also works very well as a curl refresher on dry hair (spray and scrunch in). I'm taking away one star because this product appears to have orange dye in it, and I'm afraid to use it when wearing light-colored shirts in case it stains. Please remove the dye! Otherwise, this product is very recommended.

I'm very pleasantly surprised by this concealer. First of all, it's important to know that this product does NOT contain shine/shimmer, so I wouldn't recommend using it as a highlighter. Instead, it makes a very good concealer for evening out dark circles and areas of redness. It has a thin texture and provides medium coverage. The finish is slightly dewy and looks VERY natural (not too matte, not too shiny). If I only have time to put on one product to even out my skin, I'll reach for this. I don't mind the twist-up brush design, but those concerned about spreading bacteria on their skin should swipe the brush on their fingers and apply it that way, as opposed to directly on the face. There's not a *ton* of product in the pen, and I wish there was more.

When I wear my hair natural (curly), this conditioner makes my curls full and doesn't weigh them down. When I wear it straightened, the keratin helps keep my hair strengthened and makes it less prone to breakage. Over time other conditioners weigh my hair down and don't provide enough keratin, but this conditioner is perfect.

I've had $1 lip glosses that were more enjoyable to wear! This gloss is incredibly disappointing coming from such a reputable brand. The gloss strongly smells like plastic. The texture is sticky and felt thick on my lips. It just...wasn't pleasant.

I have the raspberry version and this is my favorite balm that I've discovered for dry, chapped winter lips. I apply it before I go to bed and my lips are soft in the morning. It's fairly thick and sticky (not waxy), so it does a good job of shielding the lips and it lasts for a long time. Also, I use it on my cuticles and the skin around my nails. The two minor cons that I've found with it are that 1. The tin design can be a bit messy/unhygienic, and 2. It can leave a white sheen on the lips if a thick layer is applied.

I'm very torn on this foundation. On the plus side, it gives medium coverage while feeling extremely light on the skin. It never has that greasy sheen that many cream foundations do, and it truly feels like you're not wearing anything. The only problem is that this foundation will enhance any dryness your skin has. I have combo skin so I like a matte finish, but this made my skin look flaky. I'd recommend this product only to people with smooth, non-flakey skin.

BB creams and tinted moisturizers are supposed to provide light coverage, right? Well, this product provided NO coverage. Absolutely none. It gave my skin a greasy finish that wouldn't set even after being powdered, and kept any concealer from adhering to my skin. You're better off taking your money and spending it on a cheap moisturizer, because that's pretty much what you're getting with this product.

I absolutely love this scent. It's very sweet smelling with fruity-floral top notes. Some women might find this too 'young' for them, but it doesn't bother me. I took one star off because most BBW products don't have much scent longevity, and this product is no exception.

The title says it all. I tried it in high school (like probably every other girl) and it did not enhance my lashes at all. If you're looking for a good mascara with a small wand, try Maybelline's Lash Discovery instead.

Texture-wise this foundation provides medium coverage with a fairly light feeling on the skin, which is nice. It looks somewhat shiny, so it would need to be set with a powder if you get oily skin. Overall this could have been a great foundation for me, but it has two unforgivable flaws that I can't overlook. Firstly, it has a real lack of shades. I have pale skin with a yellow undertone, and normally the lightest shade in a foundation range works fine. Not here, though. The only shade for pale skin has a very obvious pink undertone, which I couldn't use. The next shade up, Buff, has a yellow undertone but is too dark for me. So, right off the bat this isn't the foundation for anyone with pale skin with neutral or yellow undertones. Secondly, the smell of this product is absolutely terrible. I'm not normally someone who gets bothered by makeup smells, but this one is strong and lingers after the foundation has set. It's a weird, strong, stale chemical-y smell that's unlike other foundations I've used. Applying this foundation around my nose area pretty much guarantees that I'll be smelling this foundation all morning. Considering this is one of the most expensive drugstore foundations, I expect better in terms of shades and scent.
