I love this product because it doesn't make my hair all sticky and matted down like some others can. I have fine curly frizzy hair and it tangles easily. It can be very hard to manage especially living in such a humid area. This doesn't weigh down my layers and make my hair flat. It helps to reduce the amount of frizz and to define the curls with a flexible hold. It's very inexpensive too. If I wear my hair down this is what I'll use in it. It kind of smells like strawberries too. Very sweet and nice. I would say it is definitely worth a try.

With so many shades and finishes to choose from this line is a makeup artists dream. The only one I own is the color snob and it is a satin finish. It's a bit drying so definitely exfoliate and moisturize well before wearing. It lasts very well on my lips and even fades nicely without leaving that weird white line or no color in the corners. I personally don't care for the vanilla scent as it smells very artificial and plastic-like but to each their own. I have heard great things about the creme sheens and can't wait to try one of those.

This concealer is really wonderful. I like to use an NW shade under my eyes to correct darkness and an NC to match the tone on the rest of my face. It works like a charm. I scoop a little out with a spatula and warm it on the back of my hand to make it more emollient and easier to blend. It is quite thick and can be a little dry over a blemish so I took a star off for that. This will truly give you full coverage. It hides thread veins, redness, darkness, and sallowness like a dream. I like to pat it on for maximum coverage. It's like the imperfection was never there! Just a word of caution, though. It can be hard to blend under the eyes unless you use a good eye cream and also a little goes a long way. If you apply too much and do not set it with a powder it will crease. This lasts fairly well even on my oily combo skin so long as I powder. Sometimes I use it as a foundation just in the areas I have redness and discoloration for a natural look. It can be sheered out very nicely and looks flawless. If you have bad dark circles like me then give this one a try. It covers scarring and pigmentation really well too. You can even erase a mole with this stuff. Shade matching couldn't be easier. Go to a counter and a makeup artist will match you or swatch samples on your jaw.

I really didn't like the brush on this one. It's very hard plastic and it has a square shape. Two sides have longer bristles while the other two sides have short stubby bristles. The brush kind of irritates my eye as I apply and it's hard not to poke yourself. The short bristles apply too much product and stick my lashes together. The longer bristles apply virtually no product and basically just comb out the clumps the other side just made. The formula is wet and weighs down my lashes removing the curl I had made. This is lengthening but it's hard to tell with droopy lashes. The formula is very black but it takes a long time to dry. I also found that this smudged and melted on me, though it did not flake. This didn't work for my lashes at all.

This product is great for keeping in your purse or car. It smells great, moisturizes well, and sinks in quickly(something I always look for). It's ridiculously affordable too. You get a good amount for a little over 2 dollars here in the states. I like to use this on my hands mostly but also on my legs, arms, or any dry patches on my face. Wish they had a fragrance free because then I could use it all over my face but my skin is sensitive. I always go back to this hand cream even if I try a new one in between. I have gone through three tubes and am going to purchase a fourth soon because I can't bear to run out of it. Give it a shot and you'll be glad you did.

This pressed powder is so cheap. I have it in the shade translucent. It keeps my face shine free for about 4 hours before I need to blot and reapply. The colored versions have great pay off and add another little hint of coverage. This doesn't stick to my hairs or make my face look dry of cakey. It just sets the makeup and makes my skin feel soft. It has kind of a mineral scent. It's not very noticeable once you have it on. I do wish the lid opened differently, though. If it had a hinge and snapped tighter I would be able to take it with me in my purse. That's the only reason it lost a star. This is my favorite powder at the moment. Give it a try!

This product is very conveniently packaged for travel, it's easy to apply, and it doesn't smell bad(like some eye creams/lip balms). I will warn you not to leave it in your car on a hot day, though because it will melt. This is so nourishing to the under eyes. The ingredients are VERY skin loving and natural. I love how minimal the amount of ingredients is too. It is gentle and doesn't irritate but it hydrates my lips and under eyes like nothing else. The consistency is thin and oily. This works great for lightening hyper-pigmentation marks left over from acne. It has lightened my dark circles as well. Even in the outer corner where it is the worst on a lot of people. It's so cheap too. I got mine at Ulta for only $3. It'll last you forever because a little goes a long way. I swipe it three times under each eye in a half circle(to make sure I get the outer corner)and then dab with my ring finger to work it in. It won't sink in all the way immediately but in the morning you have no fine lines! This is my new HG eye cream. I've been loving it!

This product is a staple in my medicine cabinet. The 10% benzoyl peroxide bactericide helps to prevent acne from spreading and festering on your skin. It is a bit drying but I find that if I moisturize well before hand it's not a huge issue. I just dab and tap concealer so I don't accentuate any dryness there may be and it works fine for me. This even works great when you feel a pimple coming. It sinks into the skin and keeps to it from ever surfacing. If you have an active pimple it reduces redness/swelling and helps it to heal up nicely. Just be aware, though, that this increases your skins sensitivity to sun so make sure you use a good sunscreen. It's pretty cheap too so it's worth a try!

I really wanted to try Pixi products but to me they are too expensive for a drugstore product so I waited until I saw some for sale on AllCosmeticsWholesale and that is where I saw this. I got it in shade range 2. The formula is quite a thin, waxy consistency and isn't very pigmented. You can build it up to medium if you try. It is a cream concealer but I find it sticky and hard to blend. It takes the warmth of your finger to really get it to sit nicely on the skin. I don't like it for dry spot because it accentuates dryness, I find. I also don't like it for blemishes because it really doesn't have enough coverage for the redness. And, unfortunately it settles into fine lines under the eyes(which is it's intended use)even when set with a powder. So, I was left disappointed all around on this one unfortunately. At least I didn't pay full price. I sometimes dot the pink corrector onto dark spots to brighten the brownish tones. Other than that I find the highlighter too glittery and sticky. Sorry, Pixi.

I like to use this every other day or when I am in the shower. It effectively removes dry flakes and helps to lighten my blackheads. It's not a dramatic difference but it smells alright and makes your skin softer. I don't find that this leaves my skin red and irritated as long as I use it according to the instructions. It's quite gentle and natural. I love the price. This stuff is dirt cheap and you can find it everywhere. I think it helps to clear breakouts faster and helps bring them to the surface to clear the pores. I really like this scrub and will most likely repurchase it when I run out.
