  • Maybelline New York Color Plush Silk Eyeshadows

    These are touted all over YouTube. I just bought two on a BOGO sale. The two I picked up were new ones. They have tons of shimmer/glitter and very little color payoff. When I swatched them on my hands they looked gorgeous, but on my eyes they are bland and boring. Too subtle and shinny for what I expected. Don't buy into the hype. You can get great eye shadow for much less. I am going to play around with them more instead of returning them because the colors are nice when concentrated. But I wouldn't purchase them again.

  • LORAC Lips with Benefits Lip Gloss

    I love the fun way that this gloss is packaged. It is a nice smooth lip gloss. A little thick and a tiny bit tacky, but not annoyingly so. It doesn't last through a lot which is why I took one star off. I do love the smell - kindof a vanilla smell. It doesn't taste which is good. My hair doesn't stick to it which is also good. Because of the twisted color nature of the way the gloss is packaged, you really don't know what the color is until you put it on. It is very moisturizing and feels good. I like to use it alone, but would be great over lipstick. I think this is a great lip gloss. It lives up to it's rather pricey brand.

  • LORAC Visual Effects Mascara

    LORAC Visual Effects Mascara

    Could have been good

    I think this mascara is good, but I have to use a different wand to get it to work. It apply's ok and looks nice. The formula is not to wet. The wand however ruins the whole mascara for me. It doesn't apply evenly, it is super messy to use and does nothing to help achieve a nice full look. If they changed the wand to something better, I would give it a higher score.

  • CoverGirl Professional Super Thick Lash Mascara

    At the start, this mascara reminded me of my favorite tarte mascara. It was smooth, applied nicely, not to much product on the wand, and it dried nicely. After a few weeks of use, I noticed it would be tacky later in the day if I touched my eyelashes. It also started to apply more gooily. (not a word, I know). It seemed as it thickened it was more tar like than mascara like. Seeing as I rate mascara's on how they perform from start to finish of a tube, and I couldn't get halfway through this one before I hated it, I would say pass on this. There are better mascaras out there, and some of them are in the same price range.

  • Julep Nail Color
    6.0

    Julep Nail Color

    Overall not bad.

    I find that Julep polishes are hit and miss. They have wonderful colors, but sometimes you get a creme that is a perfect consistency, has the flat brush for better application, then you get different creme color with the round brush, it's thick and applies horribly. I have an earlier metallic pink that leaves silver streaks where the brush overlaps during application and I have later metallics that apply wonderfully. The glitters so far have been decent. not too little or too many glitter chunks. They have a wide variety of colors. I just wish their formulas (and brush style) were more consistent.

  • Laura Geller Balance N Brighten Color Correcting Foundation

    One star off because it's so pricey. I really love this - I wish they would make more kits with the other colors as kits are the way to go with these kinds of brands. I use fair and it's so hard to find sometimes when I want it in a kit to save money. Medium is too dark no matter how much they tout that it fits all skin tones... It really does correct and even out. I use it over foundation and you can use a smaller dense brush to really concentrate it. I tend to use a fluffy powder brush though for a nice even light coverage. Awesome stuff.

  • Julep Essential Cuticle Oil

    Julep Essential Cuticle Oil

    Decent cuticle oil

    I need to keep my cuticles hydrated as they dry out fast. I think this oil is ok at keeping them hydrated, but I find I have to apply often. It's handy with a nice rollerball applicator, but the glass bottle makes me want to leave it at home. If they had plastic like their Reveal serum, it would be better. I do like the smell and it does soak in pretty fast.

  • Julep Nail Growth Revitalizing Serum

    I saw the pictures on the site, showing nail improvement. I received this product in a maven box and got excited as my nails are thin and split easily. I used this product daily for a over a month and I did not notice any difference in my nails. They are still weak and they still split.

  • Prestige Shadow Duo

    Prestige Shadow Duo

    Terrific shadows

    I bought one of these for a quick, in a hurry look. I have liked the one color eyeshadows for awhile. I love the texture and they have some unique colors and color combinations. I think this whole brand is often overlooked. I really enjoy the pigmentation and smoothness. A great drugstore eyeshadow. The downside is the lack of color range.

  • Prestige Eye Shadow

    Prestige Eye Shadow

    Great pigmentation

    I love the eyeshadows from Prestige. I bought my first one from the supermarket when I spotted the dark bronze. I have since purchased more and the darker the color the more careful you have to be. They are so pigmented and they are smooth. They apply nicely, with minimal fallout. The only downside is that they don't have a huge selection of colors. These are great drugstore eyeshadows that I think often get overlooked.
