i love the idea of rotating brush (that slowly rotates both clockwise and counter-clockwise), i wasn't too impressed with the mascara itself. fortunately, you can use SpinLash with any mascara! surprisingly, it suggests it on the packaging. so of course, that's what i did. and yes, my lashes were perfectly separated, full and lush-looking. i loved it! so, mascara aside, SpinLash is a great product to have in your cosmetic tool box. it works great to give that last touch of separation without pulling or tugging on your lashes, like a traditional lash brush might do, or use it with your must-have mascara for the ultimate lash result.

this mascara clams to dramatically increase your lash volume and length by up to 727% after just two applications, but i didn't find that when i was using it. don't get me wrong, it did give me fuller, longer looking lashes, but this claim was a bit steep for the results it gave. i did like the easy application, and the formula hardly ever clumped. it lasted the entire day without smudging, smearing or flaking, and that is a fabulous thing! the brush certainly towers next to the CoverGirl LashBlast brush, but because my expectations were so high for this mascara, there was a level of disappointment. so, i'll say i really like this mascara; it hasn't stolen my heart, but i still find myself using it on occasion.

this light serum goes on smooth and absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling super soft. i did experience a bit of a sting around areas that were blemished, but i didn't have any other irritation once that feeling subsided. over the course of using this i have noticed my skin behaving better as well. i have less breakouts and if i do get a blemish here or there, they go away quickly! i've been using this for a couple of weeks now, and i love the way my skin looks because of it!

Aveda Dry Remedy Moisturizing Conditioner is probably one the deepest conditioning regular conditioners i have used in a long time. the consistency is fabulous (yet not as thick as the shampoo, go figure) and coats hair with amazing moisturizing ingredients. the smell has an earthy blend, but is somewhat more pleasant than the shampoo (again, go figure). i really like that the formula isn't super heavy and i only have to use a little to get the yummy conditioning my hair loves! after i style it, my hair is full of bounce and shine!

this exfoliant is incredible! i love how it leaves my skin smooth and feeling so good after i use it! i also love that Dr. Obagi added antioxidants (vitamins A, C and E) to it, creating even better benefits for the skin. :)

L'Oreal HiP Jelly Balms are AMAZING! i love them so much! i can't imagine how i ever even lived without them....how crazy is that? seriously, everytime i apply it, i think, "i love this" and "why didn't they come out with this sooner?" they are very comparable to MAC Tendertones, but don't contain the SPF. they leave my lips feeling smooth and moisturized for hours-- yes, they are a bit pricey for a lip balm, but they last a *really* long time, so you get your money's worth!

first, i have to say, ADD WATER to the shampoo, don't use more shampoo!! it will lather up-- i promise! when i used this for the first time, i seriously thought i was using the wrong product-- it was so creamy, and not lathering up! i looked at the tube i had used, and i wasn't using the wrong one, it was that the consistency was different than any other shampoo i had ever used. so, after putting MORE WATER (very important!) on my head, it began to lather up into a beautiful, foamy dream... i love this shampoo...it's so moisturizing and leaves my hair feeling wonderful!

i have been using this, and to my delight, it really doesn't have any characteristics of a traditional hairspray. it keeps the hold while leaving my hair soft and manageable. the most amazing thing about this spray is that it can be used with heat, sprayed on your hair before you style to create many styles, and/or after you have styled as a finishing spray!

i have and use Brazilian, a golden bronze and apricot blush set. the colors are so complimentary and blend together create a gorgeous glow. i also wear them together, using the bronze shade to contour just under my cheekbones to create depth, while i used the apricot shade to hightlight my cheeks. worn alone, the golden bronze shade creates, a healthy natural glow, while the apricot shade works great to highlight and add a sweet, natural looking wash of color. this duo is perfect for the summer season as well as not-so-summer seasons. not too shimmery, these colors go on easily, and i can say when i first trted using them i was instantly happy with the results i saw (that means i loved it!). i love that this comes in a sturdy, yet pretty compact in a faux leather case with a (big) mirror and a magnetic clasp to hold it closed. Hourglass holds nothing back when it comes to pairing substance with style.

not that this didn't hydrate, it did, but all of the other things it claims to do i didn't notice. i think maybe because i don't have dark circles, but i didn't wake up looking as good in the eye area as i had hoped. also, this stuff stung my eyes every time i applied it. i was super careful, too, but each time i used this, found myself having to let my eyes water in response to it. i tried patting it under my eyes, just under my lashes, but something in this kept irritating my eyes. they were watering like i was cutting an onion. i've heard so many good things about this product. it's just not for me.
