PROS: Affordable. An okay formula (not too sticky or too thin). Okay packaging. CONS: Only available through Avon.com or a representative. Very little shine or pigmentation. Vanilla scent is very artificial/plastic smelling.

This stuff is great but CRAZY expensive! A friend of mine gave me a bit to try out, and it was nicely exfoliating. Did the job without being scratchy. Good quality and effective. However, it's so expensive, and I've used some baking soda as exfoliant and it worked just about as well.

I love this product--great consistency, great coverage and I like that it has SPF. It's really better as a concealer because it'd be pretty heavy to put it all over your face (although I put it on a LOT of my face, because I have a lot of acne and scarring, and it's not too heavy or cakey for a concealer). Lasts well throughout the day, and I like that it isn't scented! I will definitely continue to buy this product. There's a good amount of product and it's good quality, so it's a good value. UPDATE: The color is a lot of off--makes me look a little sallow. It gets greasy on my face by the end of the day.

I own probably a dozen Stila shadows. Some of the matte colors are a little chalky. The shimmery colors are gorgeous (I especially love Diamond Lil) and super smooth in texture, but the colors get muddy when you try to blend them and there is a bit of fallout. If you only plan on using one shade as an all over color, or using a matte shadow with it, or a shadow from another brand, you'll have more success. It is a little annoying that you have to buy a separate case for them, or just leave them in the little plastic clamshell containers, but I kind of like how easy it is to change my palettes! The pans are nice and large and hold a lot of product, and are a decent value. Overall, good products, but they could use a little improvement.

The first time I used this mascara was when my friend and I got makeovers at Sephora. Both of us loved how long and lush it made our lashes look--we'd never seen such amazing results! She bought a tube, I held off. Sadly, the mascara smudged under our eyes and looked terrible later. She continued to have problems with her brand new tube. After getting a free mini of this later on, I decided to give it a second chance. I haven't had any problems with smudging, so maybe the minis are a little different than the regular sized tubes? This is one of the best mascaras I've tried in terms of length and volume. However, the smudge factor keeps me from shelling out $19 on BADgal. Also, I have found some drugstore mascaras that are just as good, if not better, and at third of the price, so I'm sticking with those.

I personally think that the NARS single eyeshadows are generally better quality than the duos. I have Cordura, which is a warm brown shade and an espresso shade. Both have fine glitter in them. The shades are nice, but a little bit chalkier than most of the singles that I own.The packaging looks cool, but I hate how grubby they get. Lastly, they're kind of spendy.

It's just sticky enough to last for awhile, it comes in a huge array of colors and finishes, and it's reasonably priced. The packaging is simple and straightforward. I love the faint vanilla scent as well.

These deluxe shadows are great. I have two or three at home. I love that there is a different design on each shade of shadow, and that there is a mirror inside as well. Sometimes the plastic over the design does pop off, but can easily be snapped back into place. The color range is really fun as well. However, I think that the pigmentation of these Deluxe shadows and the color options aren't as good as Urban Decay's regular line of eyeshadows.I'll stick with the regular UD shadows, but if you need a really off the wall color, these might be what you're looking for!

I have a lot of fine wavy hair that's been color treated a lot of times, and could use some hydration. However, this shampoo does nothing for me. Given the price, it definitely should! And while many reviewers liked the smell, I didn't. Definitely will not repurchase this.

It's a little spendy, but I love the scent and how it gets my hair clean without leaving it dry. The packaging is nice and "natural/organic" looking. It's more of a splurge product for me though, something I'll buy from time to time.
