Maybelline New York Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Powder Foundation

Not bad for the price

This makeup goes on very light and does a great job covering shiny or oily skin, but after a while of wearing it it sort of 'sets in' and if you have large pores or oily skin it can look not so great after a few hours. Overall I like the light feel, the price and the fact that you don't have to use a lot to get coverage.

Maybelline New York Dream Matte Mousse

Looks great, not great for my skin

I like the coverage of this a lot. It blends really well, and I have fair skin that gets red easily and this evens skin tone wonderfully. I just wish it were better for my skin, because it tends to make me break out.

Sexy Hair Slept In Texture Creme

Not very fragrant, but does what it says

This stuff just doesn't really smell like anything, and I prefer a nice fragrance from styling products, but it does do a good job of holding a messy look without being crunchy or without being able to move your hair. Plus it's not too pricey. Overall I really like this product.

Coppertone Bug & Sun Sunscreen SPF 30 with Insect Repellent

Ups and Downs

There are certain things about this product I love and others that I really don't like. I am a fan of DEET - it is truly the only thing that works against mosquitos and this is worthwhile as a repellent. However, it is the old school style where you have to squirt the lotion and rub it in, and it has the sticky, sunscreen-y smell (along with a bit of repellent smell) that newer, spray sunscreens don't have. Plus it's only a 30 SPF and as a redhead I prefer higher. I'd probably buy this as a bug repellent, but not as a sunscreen.
