I'll be honest, I bought this b/c I was attracted to the packaging. While the product does what it says, it's certainly not the best lip balm I've used. Instant: Leaves your lips lightly moisturized but not greasy or sticky. After an hour: Evaporates quickly on your lips. It's almost too light for me. I put it on an hour later I've either licked it off or its just magically gone. TIP: I liked to use this UNDER my lipstick. It helped to soften and smooth out my lips before the lipstick so the lipstick wouldn't get all cakey in the cracks.

Okay so I bought this thinking it HAD to be better than Neutrogena's eye makeup removing wipes, but boy was I wrong. For about $6 you get blue water than really doesn't do anything. It takes off a little bit of makeup, but I have to go through 4 cottonballs per eye just to get my mascara off (and I don't even wear waterproof mascara!) Also, the product's claim that it strengthens your lashes is a little far fetched. I always felt the conditioning element of the Neutrogena eye makeup remover was much more conducive to strengthening than this stuff. In other words, stick with the drug store version!

I have long but very thin lashes. I usually go with a thickening, volumizing mascara but those always just leave my lashes clumpy and stuck together. I've also always shied away from those newer mascara wands, like this Chanel wand here but I went to Saks and got my makeup done for me by a lady at the counter and she used this mascara. Holy crap! I had no idea mascara was supposed to look like that! It looked natural and my lashes were each individually coated and separated. It's amazing. The best part is, this stuff lasts ALL day. No flaking at all...even after an hour long soccer game! If you have thin lashes like I do, I seriously recommend this mascara. It does everything it says it's going to do and more. I'll never use another mascara!

I have fine, limp, oily after 2 days of not washing hair and I bought this stuff for my boyfriend who has CRAZY curly, thick Asian hair. My hair is pretty long and brittle at the ends and I had just run out of my conditioner when I decided to give this a try. I used a little more than dime sized b/c my hair is so long but put in my hair when it was damp after shampooing and just combed it through. I can't believe how soft and surprisingly thick and strong my hair feels. It doesn't feel like I put product in it. It's just shiny, smooth and I don't get any static or fly aways like I normally do after shampooing. Also, it's worth mentioning that it actually tamed my boyfriend's hair. He's tried literally everything...Moroccan oil didn't even help but this stuff actually didn't give him a fro. He loves it!

Okay, so upon reading a bunch of reviews for this I was left scratching my head thinking "is this even the same product?" Well, probably not. The reviews that mention this product getting dried out way too fast are over 2 years old (some even 3)! I've only been using smudge pots since 2008 and I have to say that for the most part they have never ever dried out! I've had the black, bronze, cobalt and the Barbie smudge pots. Unfortunately, each color has a different texture and feel to it and while the black did dry out a little to fast for me, the bronze has never ever dried out...well after 1 year with the same pot it did finally give way to dryness, but my point is that you should test out the different colors. Cobalt was fine until I loaned it out to someone who left the lid off for a whole day that dried it out. Anyways, on to my review. LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. I have light brown, hazel eyes and I don't like the look of heavy black eyeliner so this is a beautiful substitution. I got a consultation from a Stila artist and she taught me how to use a concealer brush to paint the bronze color into my lash line. It stays put all day, never creases and the subtle shimmer is just stunning. I love this product!

Just bought this yesterday and am currently on day 1 of wearing this highly pigmented, very pink blush. I have extremely pale skin (think Dita Von Teese pale) and so blushes tend to stick out like a sore thumb on my skin. In the past I've generally just not worn blush and instead opted for a highlighting cream, but I decided to give blush a try. Went to Sephora and the girl put on this horrible Lancome blush that just looked unbelievably fake. Next she tried NARS blush in that famed Orgasm color which was nice, but I'm so pale that the peachy color was just too strong for me (I'll probably end up getting it for next summer though!). Anyways, I used to use a pink blush when I was in high school and I remember it looking very pretty and doll like on me in the winter so I ultimate went with this because I am a Stila addict. I've loved everything they've ever produced so I just figured this blush would be similar. DAY 1 - This blush is REALLY highly pigmented so a little goes a long way. Unfortunately, I didn't quite realize that until afterwards so I probably put way too much on. Anyways, I put it on this morning and now 8hrs later I can proudly say that it is still on my face. No streaks, lines or spots where it has rubbed off so I'm very happy with that. Overall, I recommend this if you have pale skin or medium skin and want that doll-like, fresh faced, youthful look. This isn't the kind of blush you'll want if you want to sculpt or bronze. Also, don't buy into that whole pH balanced crap. Any blush looks different depending on your skin tone, so only buy this product if you're looking for a nice pink blush.

I got this product as part of a collection and was at first intimidated by it because of the incredibly dark, rich black color. I am a Stila product lover, and so I gave this a try. I have to say, as a lid liner, its too soft for me but at first I loved it as an inner rim liner. It glided on smoothly and stayed for a long time. Now I'm all the way down in the pencil and for some reason I feel as though the quality of the product has waned a bit. When I first started using this it never smudged, not once (even while dancing!). But now I can't use the black anymore because it's so bold and now it's been smudging too much. I got the amethyst color thinking it'd look nice on my brown eyes, but it just makes me look sick (a little too much red in the hue and not enough blue in my opinion). Until I find a better inner rim liner, I'll stick with this but I've got to try it in the other colors because the black is too harsh for everyday and the purple was too red and not bold enough color. Sigh.
