I purchashed this gloss for a fresh summer colour, Cabana Crush. I was not diappointed. It went on smooth and you can apply more for intensity or less for a sheer look. It does not look "gloppy or sticky." It does give a long wear. The colour fades slightly but leaves a sheer, pretty gloss behind. It is easily reapplied though. Keeps lips moist and soft. The added SPF is a bonus. A warning though: the sun will "cook" your lips while wearing a gloss, even an SPF gloss. Please do use lip balm that contains an SPF for added protection. While it won't up the SPF factor, the balm will give your lips a protective coating under the gloss.

I love perfumes overall but I have to say that this one is the worst I have ever smelled. The fragrance was sickening to me and gave me a headache. The scent is unpleasantly heady and strong. It literally does make me feel sick to my stomach to smell this perfume. There's something in the formula that my senses totally dislike. I know many people who love it but it just isn't for me.

This gloss was okay as far as color goes. It didn't wear any longer than any other gloss nor did it make any difference in plumping. What it did do was tingle for a long time, even after it had worn off some. It looks nice on the lips but who wants a tingling, stinging sensation on their mouth? I'd rather purchase a nice non tingling lip gloss. This one doesn't live up to claims. Not worth it.

BareMinerals Mineral Veil Finishing Powder Broad Spectrum SPF 25
Doesn't seem to work for normal/oily skin
I tried this powder along with the BareMinerals Foundation. I wasn't impressed with it. If it's a matte finish you are after this one won't do it. In summer weather my skin does tend to get a little oily and this product did nothing for oil control. It didn't seem to last either. It "wore off" unevenly and changed color. It's not a powder I would choose to buy again.

I tried this product to see what it would do. Who doesn't want a fuller fringe of lashes? It is okay. It does not burn or sting and is easy to apply. It has made a little difference but nothing dramatic. I am still using it and will hopefully see more results in time. Like any product of this type, it does take time to see results. Often up to 12 weeks.

This is a pretty good concealer. It will hide most any minor/moderate flaws. But be aware it is a heavy texture and MUST be blended well. If you need a lot of concealing this may become too heavy and cakey looking. It comes in very few shades so DO make sure you buy the correct one. The wrong one will only highlight the very flaws you want to hide. If your skin is oily you will have to set the concealer with powder. Oily skins also note, this concealer has a tendency to change color once skin oils surface. Another reason to make sure you buy the correct shade. The staying power is good even in humidity so that is a plus. I'd like to see a larger range of shades in this product.

When I tried this product as a sample I was expecting amazing results considering Benefit's claims and the hype. I was let down. This is just an average mascara that doesn't do anything special for lashes. My lashes looked just as good without this product as they did with it. It didn't give any extra fullness, length or volume. It will clump a little so you have to apply it carefully. The one nice thing was the color but most good black mascaras will give you that much. There are mascaras that do what the product claims but this isn't one of them. I wouldn't buy it.

I got this product as a deluxe sample and wasn't impressed. It did nothing for the minor darkness at my inner eyes nor did it have any impact on the skin around my eyes. This product made my skin feel like it needed another moisturizer. My skin felt somewhat dry when I woke up in the mornings. Another downside was that it somewhat burned the outer corners of my eyes and under eye area. I'm glad this was a deluxe sample because I wouldn't want to buy this product.

I liked the intensity of the black color of the eye pencil but the pencil itself was a too big for precision control. If you like very heavily black rimmed eyes then this product should work well for you. If you like to be more precise in application this pencil isn't for you. It can look harsh easily. It does blend and smudge nicely but again, you have to be careful of too much since the pencil is so thick. I found it to somewhat smear in humid conditions so that is a downside also. I tried it with eye primer and it helped the top line but the bottom still got a little smeared. I'd like to see it offered in a slimmer size. Perhaps that would work better.

This is a great primer for any eye makeup. Your eye makeup will truly stay. It's a good basic neutral color that doesn't change the color of the eye shadow/liner you wear. It improves and evens out the whole eyelid as well as inner and outer corners of the eye. Perfect for use with cream eye shadows as well as powder shadows, liquid liners and concealers. If the darkness around your eyes is minimal this product can double as a concealer. Medium to dark under eye circles will need concealer as well as this primer. A little goes a long way. Blends easily with a concealer brush or by patting with fingers. One tip: please pump lightly and gently because the pump will dispense more than you need if you are not careful.
