This fragrance is too musky, too sweet, and too powdery for my liking. Even when I put very little on, it just did not work with my chemistry. It make me nauseous, and the smell didn't go away all day (I guess that's good if you like it). I prefer something more refreshing and crisp. This is the opposite of that.

For the purpose of lining lids, this liner performs as expected. However the pros know that for application between lashes from the underside of lashes (near the water line), felt tip version is better because it allows you to push away the lashes to get right in there. This is a better technique because you won't see the bold line, and rather makes lashes look full like you put on fake lashes. This brush is too soft to do that kind of job.

Most Redken products smell horrible, but this one smells great, especially what you need when you are using hot blow dryers! My hair is silky and brush just glides through. There is no residue and super light weight, I highly recommend this.

This one is slightly better than the other XXL tubes. I normally dislike curved brushes, but for the dual mascaras, this seems to work better. It's still a pain trying to coat the white, primed lashes with the black, but it did curl my straight lashes, and held all day. It wasn't as thick as I wanted though, so I still had to apply a thickening mascara on top of this.

I've seen so many people who love this, but I don't. It is annoying trying to get all the white lashes coated with the black side. It doen't even give me that fake lash look that I can get with some of other single wand mascaras. In attempt to thicken, I ended up smudging my lids, already done up beautifully with eyeshadows. It should thicken effortlessly with such a name.

The musky bottom note is kinda strong, but the mid and upper notes are clean and soapy, so if you go lightly on this, it's nice. It has a classic smell that is kinda retro, so it's nice to use it once in a while to mix it up.

This reminds me of Imari Satin, which I loved. At first, I was hesitant since I normally don't like musky, sweet, vanilla notes, but this one is sophisticated and soft enough that I am growing to love it. It is very nice for winter and for nights. Get it on sale and it's a great price.

This brush handle is very long, and it keeps hitting my makeup mirror when I use this. The brush is very soft and contoured well for blending on and on. It picks up a lot of shadow too. Their regular dollar eyeshadow brushes are better deal for personal use, but if you're applying makeup on other people, this may be more ergonomic to use.

Only for a dollar, you can get a great quality eye shadow brush. No need to get expensive one for this shape! It's soft and picks up and blends excellently. It doesn't have a super long handle, but I like this length better so it doesn't hit my makeup mirror during application. I'm just worried how it'll hold up after many washes, but then for this price, I can keep getting a new one!

I was disappointed when the color payoff was different than what I expected. Downfall of drugstore lipsticks. However the consistency is good. It's creamy, no smell, and comfortable on lips. The color selection in the lighter shades are poor.
