I cannot rave about this enough. This is the longest lasting nail polish I have ever used and I didn't think anything would beat the lasting power of my beloved OPI polishes. I was wrong. Plus, this is about $3 less than OPI fyi. Every time I recommend this to someone, they absolutely love it. It is super opaque on the first coat and dries super fast. The brush on this is wide so you can go over your nail faster than a skinny brush. This lasted a week before it finally chipped! Truly amazed by this nail polish. The only complaint I have is that I wish they had more unique colors because a lot of the colors I already own from other brands and I would love to try more colors from this line but I don't want to have to end up getting two of the same or similar colors I already have. The finishes on these are similar to a gel effect although I still rate the Revlon Gel Envy to have more of the gel finish than this but overall, I still love this for the lasting power and opacity on the first coat.

I hate top coats that gets really goopy when it gets almost empty. Gets so annoying and messes up my perfectly done manicure. On top of that, I feel like I don't really get my money's worth because it's still 1/4 empty before I have to toss it out. It becomes goopy and stringy and I'd rather just not deal with it.

This nail polish was super opaque on the first coat. I love Sonia Kashuk brushes but have had a hit or miss on their makeup products. I do like this nail polish but this is the first nail polish that stains my skin badly when I remove it. Definitely not a good look. I got this in a pink fuchsia color and if I wanted to take it off with nail polish remover the leftover color would just stain the skin around my nails no matter how hard I tried to remove the remainder. It chipped around the second or third day which wasn't too bad since that's usually normal for most nail polishes I've tried.

I remember Nikkietutorials talking about how much she hated this product and that it did nothing for her. I have to totally agree! I received a sample of this and even though it's a pinkish lavender colored cream to brighten, it really didn't do any such thing. Didn't depuff either which was the other claim of this product. Didn't really moisturize. It was just like putting nothing on and I didn't see a difference at all. Thank god I didn't pay for this pricey thing. Save your money and ask for a sample at the counter if you really want to try it out.

Everyone raved about this on YouTube and on Ulta's website so I had really high hopes for this. I rated this 2 stars instead of 1 mainly because it has a decent amount of coverage (medium to full) but I swear this foundation is cake face. Even with one layer on, it's super powdery and clings on to dry AND non-dry patches. It blotches off and sits on the skin the worst. I always have a bad skin day with this on. Super insecure and can't get over how powdery and cakey my face looks. I literally don't even need to powder my face after. My eye makeup and lip can be on point but with this foundation as a canvas it just messes up my whole look. I cannot express how much I hate this foundation!!! Even though I paid $7 for it, it is definitely not worth it and I returned it after the third time using it.

This blush is so effortless. The thing I like about Bareminerals Ready line is that the colors are pretty pigmented without a lot of fallout. I have this in the color Summer Fling and The Secret's Out and I'm so impressed with the formula every time I use it. It blends out so beautifully that I cannot see how anyone can make a mistake while using this. It's not streaky and patchy. The color just glides on and blends out like a dream that looks like a natural flush. You cannot see where the color starts or ends. I swirl my brush in and tap off the excess and blend in a circular motion on my cheeks. It turns out consistent and beautiful every time that I reach for this often. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! I've never been a fan of Bareminerals but their pressed powder products ie. eyeshadows, bronzers, and blushes are amazing and really starting to change my mind. I just don't like their brushes though. They really need to change the bristles on those especially the brushes that looks and feels like straw.

I've never been drawn to the Clinique line for some reason. Must be the packaging or not a lot of people talk about this enough. I got this as a deluxe sample from Ulta and I was extremely impressed by how good my skin looks. It evens and corrects my skin as promised. I love the coverage on this. I got a full coverage right away and the best part is that it did not feel heavy at all. This blended out beautifully and didn't take much effort amazingly. It didn't leave streaks behind and everything just looks flawless. I have to say this does not give a natural finish. It gives more of a glowy finish but without looking oily. I would not use this during the summer. In the winter, it looks wonderful and youthful on. Definitely a favorite for my oily skin during the winter when my skin is dryer and parched.

I got a sample packet of this and I love this stuff. It can feel kind of drying on the face like all masks do but when I wash it off it doesn't leave that tight uncomfortable feeling afterwards. Instead my face feels really smooth and clean without any residue. It doesn't cause me to breakout and I feel like it really keeps my acne at bay. I like the scent of this but the only gripe I have is that there's something about the scent that makes my eyes sting. It's super weird. I guess I have more sensitive eyes than I'd expected.

Everyone loves this stuff and raves about how moisturizing it is. When I first used this, I didn't think it was moisturizing at all. It was super drying on my lips that I don't reach for it often. Now that I've tried numerous of other matte lip pens, I noticed the huge difference of why I reach for this one more than the others I own. It's super creamy and pigmented. Does not apply patchy and it's now really comfortable on the lips where I don't feel it's quite as drying anymore. Hmmm....might just take some getting used to. I have it in the color She's So Matte and it's a beautiful color. Hate the shade range on this. There's only like 6 colors and this one being the most wearable color imo. I don't like the tip on this. I wish it was a little bigger so I don't have to go over my lips too many times. The tip on this is too small. I hate the taste of this too. The smell is really strong and very floral-ly like I'm eating flowers or something. I strongly suggest this lipstick if you're on the hunt for a long lasting lipstick. The color lasts super long. Even after eating, I still had some color left over.

This steals the cake. I noticed the results within three days of using this. My eye area is way more moisturized without feeling greasy and my undereye circles are noticeably lighter and my eye area is brighter. I'm really impressed. I like how it doesn't sting or have too much of a strong scent especially around my sensitive eyes. I'm still pretty young so I don't really have wrinkles around my eyes yet but this is one product I'm really looking forward to when I do.
