The good....this DOES stay on through nearly everything. It completely dries, so if you're driving with the windows down and hair gets in your face, it won't stick to it. You have a very short time to perfect it when applying and once it's on, it's ON and it's not going anywhere. Pretty colors. Surprisingly, the pink Bellissima color stayed on and despite being a light color, it "stained" as well as dark colors do. It doesn't dry out your lips, either!! It also lasts through most meals (unless you are having oil..I cook a lot with olive oil and that does remove it. But nothing else so far has...and I enjoy eating nearly everything). The bad....your lips look dry. The color stays on all day (which is great), but it does oxidize and change color a bit, though this is after a couple of hours and is not too big of a difference. Another small issue is that if for some reason you're biting your lip or doing something else to remove it (like olive oil), you must remove it all and then reapply or else it looks far too caked on and thick in a dry lip-with-too-much-product way. I like this for running errands because it gives off a natural perfection, but up close it's too dry-looking for me (although adding a gloss may make it look more moisturized). All in all, the only lipstick or stain (ESP in a light color) that literally DOES last all day with minimal to no care.

Barely stayed on after 15 mins, and I have dry skin. Also got home and found out they test on animals now. Returning it tomorrow

I had been dying my hair black for about two years. I decided to lighten up. I used two color removers from Sally's, a brown lifting agent, and then a red dye over it all. Four processes in one day. Well, by the end of that, my long hair was so damaged that the ends were whitish pieces (my hair is dark brown underneath, but that's how damaged it became from the split ends). I got a trim and it was still that mushy squishy unhealthy hair after I washed and conditioned...and then dried into a puff of frizz. I got this masque in desperation (it doesn't test on animals and it was the only one at Target that didn't, and I didn't have time to order online). I washed my hair, put the masque in and left it overnight. I rinsed it out this morning and it is so healthy that it even dried in a normal way. It slithers around my shoulders with deep shine and great ends, sorry, that's the only way to describe it! This is going to be used forever.

This shampoo dried out my healthy and silky hair. I have had horribly dry hair in the past, and can't imagine what it would have felt like if this were used at that time. My hair feels like tangled straw, and I have just used it a few hours ago and am afraid to brush it. I used it in conjunction with the matching conditioner. Absolutely terrible.

I used this conditioner after the matching shampoo. My texture is dry, frizzy and dull. My hair is normally silky and in very healthy condition. You'd never know it after one use of this. Extremely horrified and disappointed.

Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30
Amazing, does the job of a great moisturizing foundation!
This is a tinted moisturizer that breaks the normal tinted moisturizer rules. It has amazing coverage and makes you look fresh-faced and natural, yet it also makes your skin completely even and flawless. I have dry skin, so I use a moisturizer under this, but for someone with normal skin I bet that this alone would do the job. Great shades and great staying power. Love it.

This was an amazing toner and brightened the face without dehydrating. It let moisturizers and serums sink right in when applied immediately afterword. It is a shame they no longer carry it.

This has creamy coverage, beautiful shades, and just sinks into the skin and remains there. Brokenhearted that it is no longer available. It was the best out there and addressed every concern for dry skin.

This....foundation?....doesn't do anything except put a powdery finish to your skin. You sweep it on your skin, it settles over it, and then...nothing. It's slightly ok for runs to the drugstore, but it is something that simply does nothing and is more useful for KNOWING you have taken time and effort (minimal as it may be) before leaving the house/car, rather than the effect. Definitely not worth the $ and barely passable in sample form.

This brush is a good brush in general. What makes it pop though is the ability to store things (anything from hair ties to cash) in its handle. The mirror is the perfect compliment to it as well. Great for travel, and great for in the car, and great for at home. Wonderful.
