I'm a pretty big fan of KvD's products and these lippies are no different. I treated myself to a miniature of the Noble color, which is described as a matte petal pink nude. The product claims to have 10-hour, one-swipe color with velvet touch comfort. It definitely wasn't a 10-hour wear, but it did fade nicely throughout the day and well into dinner. I noticed that on the first swipe it was pretty great, but I did an extra coat to really finish the look. It was matte while not drying and I would agree that it was quite comfortable. Also, have you seen the packaging? KvD always has gorgeous packaging for her products, but these pyramid-studded lipstick cases are to die for!

I wasn't able to take these for the full 30 days that the box recommends. Each container has 50 softgels that are a dietary supplement. It recommends that you take them with a meal and plenty of water. I have dry skin mostly, but I don't have particularly dull skin, which I feel like this is more suited for. I am anemic and my nails are paper-thin, curled, and twisted. I did notice that they were a bit stronger, but the effect these had on my skin was not ideal. I had a new patch of breakouts and this is the only new item I had added to my regimen. I have pretty sensitive skin and my own set of health issues, so hopefully this is the last "supplement" TotalBeauty sends me! I'm all for dabbing on something new, but not always too keen on ingesting it!

I was given this moisturizer to review by TotalBeauty and I was really excited to try it! On first glance I noted that a higher SPF would really be more beneficial, but here goes nothing! The bottle design makes for easy squirt-into-your-palms use but can still sit upright at your vanity. It recommends rinsing with water for removal, but I just used it under makeup so makeup cleanser worked fine. It says that it's "clinically proven to even tone and texture" and while I don't have an uneven skintone, the texture can go from just meh to flaky all on the same cheek. I used this every morning for a week and while my skin did enjoy the creamy texture, it did not enjoy the breakouts I experienced. The smell is very lotion-y and was a little off-putting until it dissipated. All in all it's not a terrible product, but I didn't really see it changing my skin that much. Well, except for the breakouts! In fact, I actually noticed new flaky patches cropping up in places they've never been (hello, bridge of my nose).

DDML is great, but ONLY if you have very dry - dry combination skin. Make sure to get skin-typed by your personal Clinique consultant. If you get oily, this will be too much for you considering it has mineral oil and lanolin in the product--these can react badly for some. I, personally, like the way it feels but hate the way it smells. I use it (along with the rest of my 3-step) before my normal day/night creams.

I was sent this product to try by TotalBeauty and I was not disappointed! I used it for heat protection, styling, finishing, and tried it on my curls. For heat protection, I lightly misted my hair before blow-drying with a round brush and straightening with my flatiron. I found that my hair had a soft, natural sheen to it and still felt soft after styling. I also tried it for styling my dry, day-old hair and was pleasantly surprised that a little product goes a long way. I think my favorite use was as a finisher, though, because my hair didn't feel sticky, crispy, or crunchy after using it and the style lasted all day while I was working. It also played well with the hair paste I use! My least favorite use was for my curls, though. I didn't notice a real difference and it could be some of my current style's fault, but this product just didn't do it for me curl-wise. I feel like this could replace a lot of products for most people, luckily I'm pretty minimal product-wise, but I would love a big can of this!

I own several shades of these perfect liquid lipsticks! Armageddon is a beautiful light but bright pink that would be flattering on a multitude of skin tones. Vampira is a deep dark burgundy shade (my favorite so far). Underage Red is a bright, vampy red that reminds me of being 17 and smearing on red lipstick to feel sexy. Bachelorette is somewhere between a red and a bright pink and I get the most compliments on this shade! I can't wait for KvD to come out with more shades for this line because I'm basically just collecting them at this point. They aren't drying at all and stay on so very nicely. I worked in retail and talked nonstop, and these would still be on through that and well into my dinner break. I'm never nervous to wear these shades going out, but I do like to have a little powder around the edges of my lips just in case. The doe-foot applicator is so soft and makes application hella easy. You will not be disappointed in these!

I'm not a super fan of this primer, but I definitely don't hate it either. It has kind of a putty-like consistency that blends out pretty easily. It comes in different shades to match your moods. A little bit goes a long way, but I feel like sometimes it goes on streaky (or won't stay put near my lash-line). My eye shadow lasts all day and it helps most shadows to be more pigmented (or at least appear that way). The squeeze tube allows you to squeeze a sufficient amount out, but once you've squeezed too much you can't go putting it back in there, so beware.

Mild Clarifying Lotion is great if you have super sensitive/redness prone skin. I like that it feels like I'm sweeping nothing across my skin and I use it when I'm having flare-ups of sensitivity and/or redness. I think it's the aloe in it that makes it so comfortable to use. My only complaints are that my #1 exfoliates better and I wish the Mild came in a large size too!

I was told to try the Clar. #2 for more exfoliation (I am normally a #1). It, unfortunately, did not work for me. It was just too harsh and just sweeping it across my cheeks gave big red streaks. I'll be going back to my #1 ASAP!!

This product is my absolute favorite part of my skincare routine. I love the way it takes away flakes and also makes my skin feel especially clean after using it. If you have very dry to dry skin, this is the best number of clarifying lotion for you to use. It lasts FOREVER!
