I was not a fan of the colors at first (I have the 3 pink shades set), they're all sort of icy pink. After I figured out how much to use and how to use the brush tip, I liked them. I won't wear these out per se, but I will wear on a casual day were I just need some lip moisture. The texture is nice, the shine not so much, the colors aren't great but I still like the product.

This is a great cream, albeit low on the SPF. It absorbs well, and for those with dry skin, it would be a great option, and of course you have to layer your SPF face cream on over - but you should either way - since I don't know anyone who really reads their labels and checks that the right sunscreen active ingredients are in their moisturizer, as well as high enough up on the list of ingredients. I really like this and rate it up there with Perricone's face firming moisturizer. The price is reasonable for what you get.

It's extremely giving and gentle, no snagging, which is what a hairbrush should be. If your brush snags on your hair, then you're breaking and losing hair! This is a perfect blend of natural and nylon bristles, it moves the natural oils through the hair, adds shine, and makes your hair healthier than it already is. It's an investment piece everyone should make, that is, if you care about your hair. Although, I would say probably not for curly haired individuals.

I love to use this gloss over a lip stain or lipstick, or even a more pigmented gloss. I have a issue with the applicator brush, it's hard to use because the gloss is liquidy so it is easy to drip, and the texture is semi gritty, possibly the glitter? I have Groovy Fruit which is a very sheer pink which is why I use it over another color, but I had a sample of delicious and I loved that shade, it was just the right color and sheerness. The cost is too high for me, if it was a different applicator, texture, and more pigmented, I would buy it again.

I am not a big believer in spending a lot on a mascara. To me, there are drugstore mascaras that can deliver the goods just as well as any high end. I got a deluxe sample of this product and I did find the results were wonderful. I had not problems with clumping, flaking, or issues with the brush. I would probably have purchased this mascara but the cost is inhibiting me from doing so. So if the price is in your budget, I highly recommend!

This mascara is heavy and thick which makes application a pain. I end up with Tammy Faye looking lashes that I have to individually separate and then I have funny looking stringy thick eyelashes. The cost is too much for a poor product.

I was really excited to get this product. I thought for a product to cost this much - it must really deliver. I was disappointed at first. After a couple of weeks, I saw no real plumping effects after carefully applying it to my entire lip area. I did wake up with my lips still very moist and well hydrated. I started to notice an improvement in the overall appearance of my lips. My lips were drier looking before and the lines on them were noticeable without gloss. Now with continued use, my lips are smoother and more hydrated through the day. The gloss is pricey, but I love it. The texture is great, the mint smell and taste is lovely. And the product helps with a 'plumper' look by filling in the cracks in your lips, making them look more youthful and 'full' but not in the Angelina Jolie sense, in the young natural beauty sense.

I have yet to try the regular version of Fusion and CityLips, but other than those 2, I've tried them all. I have a fairly thin upper lip that drives me crazy in pictures. It practically disappears when I smile. I really like this plumper, but it does have a sting. I think the effects last long enough, but the problem occurs when you are having cocktails, then you will have to reapply after your cocktail. I like the texture but it is a bit slippery, so like the 1st reviewer noted, it's best applied to the center of the lip only and then carefully blend outwards. The cost is fair because it delivers on the promise of fuller lips. I only use plumpers when I'm going out or for a special occasion, otherwise I think your lips can get used to the product and they don't work as well. So on my normal days, just lip balm with spf.

You need to really seal the lid tight on these or they dry out too fast. The texture is a little too thick to begin with for me, but I'm not a great eyeliner expert so that could be the issue. I also have a much harder time using this with their #9 flat eyeliner brush that in my opinion is too stiff and not thin enough to really have control.

with an above average cost. I wish it dried slightly faster, and it wasn't as thick. I think it's good but the cost is too much.
