Here are all my reviews:

The applicator looks like a sponge tip when you take it out. I have this in Miami Ice, which is a snow white powdery color. The glitter in it may be a little too intense for day time though, and you end up looking a little bit drag queenish. The shimmer also doesn't adhere to your skin well or blend evenly, so bits of the glitter falls off on your cheeks, like another reviewer mentioned. When I do use it, I like to put a tiny little bit this in the inner corner of my eye for a more awake and fresh faced look.

I only sweat minimally (I swear) and this just wasn't enough. This was an attractive choice for a deodorant after years of those rumors about the dangerous chemicals in a lot of anti-perspirants. Sadly, natural products just don't cut it. By the end of the day you smell like a mix of sweat and flowers and it isn't pretty. Even reapplying during the day doesn't mask odors completely. I'm sticking with my Mitchum.

Like the other review said, WOW! It really does hold very very well, but the trade-off is not the most touchable hair. It gets slightly stiff and crispy. However, it does work in your favor for some situations, like spraying hair after using a curling iron. I've had curls last for over three days with this spray. However, for a light hold to tame little flyaways, another choice would probably be better.

The line is a little bit harsh for me. I've seen my friends use this and it looks fantastic on them, but for me the color is a little too strong and artificial looking. I use MAC's eyebrow powder in Walnut instead, it does the same job but looks a lot more natural.

This eyeliner is amazing in terms of staying power. Althought not completely water/smudge proof, it really lasts and lasts once it sets. By the end of the day, it looks nearly the same as when I put it on in the morning. I've went out dancing all night with this eyeliner on and when the sun came up, it was still immaculate. It takes a little bit longer to learn to apply it properly, but once you get the hang of it, this eyeliner will really grow on you. Perfect for making precise lines. I use the 266 angled brush to make picture perfect cat eyes. I use Blacktrack the most, but also have Graphic Brown for days when I want to look a little more subtle. I also own Iris Eyes, which is a light purple color. I'm a bit unhappy with it because it barely shows against my skin. Stick to the dark colors! Lastly, it's really economically friendly too. One of these little jars will literally last forever! It only takes a tiny little bit, even for thicker lines.

MAC has a truly fantastic line of eye shadows. The colors are creative and varied and the quality of the shadows is just superb. The pigments are super vibrant and the different finished (velvet, satin, shimmer, etc.) are a gorgeous touch as well. I'm currently obsessed with the N-Collection colors! They are super sexy and in my opinion, one of the best collections Mac has had out in years. The staying power of these shadows are also great, although on occasion you'll get some creasing depending on how oily your skin is and how humid it is outside. A+

A very simple and clean scent, perfect for those warm summer days when you don't want anything too heavy. Very playful and not too sweet smelling, which unfortunately is what happens a lot with fruity perfumes. Nice!

...this is one of the few scents that work very well with my body chemistry. It is a little light when I first put it on but later during the day it intensifies slightly but without getting too overpowering. Very ladylike and fresh. Love it! This is always part of my rotation of perfumes.

Didn't work as well on waterproof mascaras and smudge proof liquid liners. Took a little bit of rubbing, which I HATE because it irritates the skin around my eyes and rips out my poor eyelashes. Okay for those days when all you are wearing is a bit of eyeshadow. I'll stick with my oil removers for everything else.

While Smashbox does admittedly have some amazing products in their line, this is not one of them. For a little over $15, this lip treatment doesn't work half as well as a $3 tube of Chapstick. The outside of this lip treatment adds a little bit of shine and the middle contains conditioning agents to make your lips softer. While the subtle shine is a nice touch, the emollients and moisturizers in this are not strong enough for rough winters when your lips are enduring a tough beating from the cold air. The peeling and the cracking looks even worse with this on top of it. Stick with Chapstick or even a tub of Vaseline!
