I had high expectations for this primer since my cousin recommended this. I was surprise to find that this was more of a lotion than a primer. I was used to primers being a clear silky formula and expected this to be the same too but it's not. I thought the fragrance was way too overpowering for me. I didn't like it one bit. The formula goes on white and dries quick once you blend it out. I liked that my makeup stayed matte and lasted all day but I would have to return this since the fragrance just totally killed it for me and the formula wasn't as silky as I thought it was going to be.

This pencil is way better than the Anastasia brow pencil I have. I love how this has more of a waxy base so I can hold my stray brows in place unlike the Anastasia one that has more of a hard formula. It has such a creamy texture that's easy to work with and the brows are left so natural looking (not reddish at all!) Because this pencil is so creamy, the product doesn't seem to last long due to all the sharpening and such if you use it every day. I'm still on the hunt for a bargain brand that's comparable to this one because I don't know if I wanna pay $20 each time this runs out. But otherwise, great job Benefit!!!

My lips are left super moisturized and I love the slight tingling sensation from the mint flavor I have. The tingliness is not as strong as Carmex for those of you who likes mint but not the tingling sensation it leaves behind. It's more subtle and bearable so pick this out if you like mint flavored balms but just not the tingliness. I don't know if the other flavors are tinted but I might try them to see if they are because I love tinted lip balms!

This lipstick is really drying! It doesn't leave my lips moisturized and the two colors I got in the shade Smooch doesn't seem to work well for me. If I apply just the shimmer shade alone it makes me look washed out and then if I apply the matter shade alone it looks too dark. I have to use my Rimmel lipstick in nude to make the color more wearable and my lips more moisturized. I like the concept of having two different shades in one lipstick but I think Covergirl needs to come up with new colors that will complement each other and also put some more oomph in the hydration department for this one.

Love how this eyeliner doesn't budge once it's set but I find that the formula doesn't apply as smoothly as I would have hoped so it doesn't really work well on the waterline (like what the name suggests). The pigmentation isn't there to really adhere to the waterline. I also don't like how the darkest color I got wasn't as dark as I would've liked. I got this in midnight black. Another complaint I have about this is that it doesn't really last. I had this on for an 8-hour shift at work and by the end of the day, the eyeliner was already fading. This eyeliner dries really fast so if you're trying to use the smudge tool, just do it really quick before the product dries. Love the nifty little sharpener on the end! It totally helps me to achieve those perfect winged liners with the perfect point and precision.

I love the sheer shades these offer. They were super moisturizing and left my lips hydrated throughout the day. The only complaint I have about this is that the taste is awful. I can't really get over it. It tastes almost like lard mixed with butter but other than that, these are awesome!

Sad to say I"m still on the lookout for a good waterproof mascara. I wanted to try this after the article on here of the best drugstore mascaras. I still haven't found any good waterproof mascara yet because I find that waterproof formulas are super clumpy and this one unfortunately still lives up to the stereotype of clumpiness for me. This mascara does not thicken at all and I needed two coats for it to show up on my lashes but by the time I have two coats on, it turns out super clumpy and spidery. My lashes doesn't lift up but strays in all different directions and leaves an ugly bent in my lashes. Will be returning this.

I love how this scrub was not drying but I hated how it's not really a scrub. I would say it was more comparable to a cleanser. There are not enough beads in this to actually scrub the dead skin cells off my face. When I put my bb cream and foundation on after using this my skin flakes off along with my makeup. It is really frustrating to have to pick off the flaky skin that this scrub misses. I also hate the rubbery leftover residue this scrub leaves behind. I will have to return this.

I love this stuff too much that I will never go back to other sunblocks or sunscreens anymore. The other sunblocks I have tried leaves white marks and super greasy feeling, leaving me super uncomfortable. I am so glad that Neutrogena made an ungreasy sunblock finally! I also love the easy application of a spray method instead of me rubbing the product on. This literally feels like I have nothing on my skin so I can go by my day without that greasy sticky feeling with my clothes on but still get SPF protection from the sun. What can I say! I LOVE this stuff and now I got my cousin hooked too.

I read other reviews that said this BB cream had more coverage but they lie. For a small bottle for $12 I was expecting more performance. It did nothing to cover my redness, discoloration, and large pores. My husband even commented that it looks like I have nothing on my face so why even pay $12 for this. I was hoping this BB cream would make my face glow but it didn't. My face still looked super dull. The product was thick and it had a nice beige tint to this so I was really hoping it would cover my imperfections but it didn't. I thought that applying more would at least cover my face but I had two layers of this on and......my face STILL looked exactly the same like nothing is on my face. Sad to say I had to apply concealer afterwards on top of this to cover my flaws.
