My makeup-loving friend recommended this, and I've never been impressed by it. I expect a lot from a mascara, and this one didn't come close. No lengthening, volumizing, or anything. It's just ordinary and was quite a disappointment, though when my friend got a tube recently, she said it didn't rock her world, either, when before it had been her favorite. Perhaps they changed the formula. Not recommended.

It takes a long time for the Benetint to dry on your lips, so if you use the gloss immediately afterward, you get Benetint all over your wand, and then it gets into the clear gloss. And who wants to wait around for their lip color to dry so they can put the gloss on? Not recommended.

This is my favorite primer ever. It goes on silky-smooth and gives that "dewy glow" we're always hearing about. I absolutely love this. And how cute is that packaging?! Highly recommended!!

I had to return this because it didn't fit my regular sharpener. When I returned it, the associates in the store tried it in their sharpener, and it didn't work. The ONLY sharpener it works in is Sephora's, and I think that's ridiculous. The eyeliner is $5, and the sharpener is $5, so it's a complete ripoff if you don't already own the sharpener. Very disappointing, Sephora. Application was fine but nothing special. Not recommended.

I've got Precious Pink, and I use it over lipstick for the perfect clear shine. This is a great everyday lip gloss. It's not sticky and gives great shine. It's not the most fantastic gloss out there (try Urban Decay's Lip Junkie if you want an amazing gloss), but it's still great. Recommended.

I got Donutella, which people raved about, and I hated it. I didn't like the smell, the consistency, or the fakey-looking color on my lips. I returned it as soon as I could. Not recommended at all.

I know this is supposedly the best primer in the industry, but I found that it wasn't (oodles) better or any worse than anything else I tried. It is definitely fantastic, but I've gotten great results from Mary Kay's primer and Too Faced's Shadow Insurance as well. Oh, also, I'm not crazy about the beige coloring in this, because once it's on your lid, you CANNOT move it (which is obviously the point, but stay with me here), and I ALWAYS end up getting some of it above the lid or around my eyes. And then it doesn't come off easily, and you're left having to blend and blend and blend so it doesn't show. Mary Kay's dries clear. I'm glad they changed the packaging, though. The genie bottle, while cute, was wasteful. To get all of the product out you had to cut the bottle open and then put the remaining product in another pot! I guess I would recommend this, but like I said, others do just as well.

I was unimpressed with this. It's supposed to be fantastic, but I found it didn't do much, and definitely not what I wanted. I need a mascara that lengthens, curls, volumizes, and defines, and this didn't do much of anything. Don't get me wrong--it's a decent mascara. But it's nothing special. Not recommended.

Fantastic! High-shine, not sticky, and minty! I absolutely LOVE this!!!

This fantastic product loses some stars for the bad (useless) brush it comes with and the wasteful compact. I would have expected a company like Urban to not be so wasteful with packaging, but this packaging is very bulky. The product inside, however, is great. Great coverage, smooth consistency, and easy to apply with either a sponge (especially a damp one) or foundation brush. Recommended if you don't mind wasting packaging.
