I clean my brushes after every single use and do a deep cleaning with baby shampoo every 2 weeks or so. I used to use this brush cleanser with a paper towel everyday and got through an entire bottle within a few weeks! After a while, I got a little tired of spending all that money on bottles of cleanser that get used up so quickly. If you look at the ingredients list on this cleanser, it is nothing more than regular rubbing alcohol, water, some conditioning agents for your brush and fragrance and artificial colors. You can make your own brush cleanser at home, people!!! Buy an empty spray bottle from a drug store and fill it up half with bottled water and half with 70% concentration rubbing alcohol. Add a tablespoon or so of liquid spray-on conditioner that you would use on your hair and a touch of baby shampoo. Stir is up gently and spray on your brushes in place of this cleanser. I've been using this replacement for months and my brushes have never looked better AND it's easier on your wallet and easier on the environment.

Not really that great for finer hairs. Removed most of it, but left little hairs here and there that needed ANOTHER strip to clean up. A lot of wax sticks to your skin too if you don't pull fast and hard enough. Best leave waxing to the pros!

No other nail polish company has made more classic colors over the years! Although I choose OPI colors more often now, there are still Essie classics that I continue to wear. My long time favorties are Marshmallow and Ballet Slippers and have been for years. My new favorites have been Waltz and of course, Wicked. Nothing like Essie to add a little bit of color into your life. I love it!

I too brought this product as a result of all the hype. It does what it promises- extends the wear of your eyeshadow, although if you have really long days (like I do) and live more humid weather, your eye makeup will still look a little worn by the end of the day. But I'd certainly say it beats having your eyeshadow crease and disappear before your lunch break! Also, like some other people mentioned, the folks at Urban Decay have designed the most absurd shape for a tube bottle. You pay the $15 for this product and it runs out within a month! A lot of the product gets trapped in the curvy part of the top. I cut the tube in half and transferred it to a plastic jar that I got a MAC sample in and got a few more weeks of use out of it.

I am one month in with this product, and sadly, no results. I wanted to love this product and for it to work on my brows, but no luck so far. I guess that's the price I have to pay for all those years of waxing/plucking/threading! I bought two tubes of this (not a smart move considering how expensive it was without knowing whether it would work or not). I will finish both of them and edit my review if it does indeed work in a few weeks. I have faith in this product though!...I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I heard J-Lo smears this all over her body. I guess these are the kinds of things you do when you have disposable income! I bet her skin is amazing, considering what it can do when used sparingly on your face. Your wallet may be crying and empty, but your skin will be glowing. No wonder why this cream has become an instant classic.

I'm not sure what can justify spending this much money on an eye cream, but at least it's a dang good one! Your eyes will thank you, but your wallet might not.

A very heavy, slow drying top coat. Dries to a nice shine, but doesn't last for long. Works well to prevent chipping if you apply it to freshen up your manicure every other day.

Very very watery and thin basecoat. Works well in adhering the color to your nail, but if you're wearing a darker color, it does nothing to prevent your nails from staining.

Works better than any traditional nail filer I've ever used. Professional results made easy, really. Makes the edge of the nail so smooth that you'll never have to worry about it snagging on your pantyhose. Love it!
