Here are all my reviews:

I expected this eye cream to be much more, well, moisturizing...in the manner of runny and gloopy, like most hydrating eye creams. As a dry skinned girl, I expect that a hydrating cream NEEDS that type of texture to be helpful. WRONG. As another reviewer wrote, it truly IS the Holy Grail of eye creams. It sinks right in, and strangely only leaves the tiniest hint of a product having been applied. I have been using it for only two weeks once per day, and my eye area is flawless. I take extremely good care of my skin, but when it comes to eye creams, they are usually leaking into my eyes and hurting me unless I wipe it away from the actual eye area (which is the area I am trying to treat!) or they tighten my skin so that when I exhibit emotion my skin has to crease and tiny lines appear all over the place there! This does neither. I bet I could use this as eyedrops lol. But truly, this does the job of what you hope an eye cream would. Perfecto!

This is a good oil-absorber for any skin type (mine is dry). I applied to problem areas and it gave my face a nice lack of shine. My breakouts (usually due to acidic foods) have lessened, but I am not going to buy again (father bought as a gift after hearing my complaints) as they do test on animals. Would give at least an 8 if it weren't for that.

I am in love with this foundation. The color seemed a bit "off" when I applied it....it appeared too orange. Nonetheless, I kept it on to see if it was worth purchasing in another color. The texture and consistency are perfect for my dry skin. It made my skin soft to the touch. I had read many reviews with conflicting information regarding its staying power....it lasted all day for me and I tested it by pressing it against a tissue and absolutely no color was transferred. I believe that the people complaining have oily skin...this is not a product for oily skin, so I'm not sure why they are using it to begin with....but as the day went on, I was in both daylight and harsh fluorescent lights, and my skin was perfect. The color matched perfectly. Perhaps I imagined the wrong color at the start because it seemed too good to be true? This is my new favorite. Light and skin perfecting. Definitely going to be my day go-to foundation.

I can't speak for any hair type except my own (dry, straight, and not very voluminous), but this oil, when applied to damp hair, works some serious wonders. After brushing it through, and letting it dry naturally, my hair is light, full, and shiny....much more light and full than other oils, yet similar in the amount of moisturization. A wonderful oil that sets off all of the positives and none of the negatives of oils.

This polish goes on well and evenly. I have a terrible time with polish lasting, whether getting my nails done by a "pro" or by myself. This didn't last longer than other polishes, but it does both dry AND (with the use of polish remover) remove quickly. There are such an assortment of colors, and they are all very affordable, so these are usually my go-to polishes.

This liner is no joke when it comes to intensity. It is such an intense shade that it eclipses all other lauded liners. For a bit. My skin is dry, and usually liners stick around for a while when I draw anywhere except the waterline. Unfortunately, after a few hours, even on my skin it wore away. I'm not sure where it faded to, but it definitely wasn't where I had drawn it. Because of the extremely deep color, though, it was still very pretty and complimentary to my eyes and face. I like it enough to re-purchase.

This moisturizer is not great. Doesn't moisturize tons, doesn't make your skin amazing, but it does have one wonderful benefit....this is AMAZING under makeup. It moisturizes just enough for the makeup to sink in and look flawless AND natural, so using it once in a while for a date or interview would be a great use of it. But for everyday skin care, I prefer a more deeply moisturizing product with more benefits.

At first try, I did not feel that this was anything special. After the air hitting the mascara after a few days' use, it became a wonderful thickening consistency that is extremely easy to manipulate. It does deposit a LOT of product, which is necessary to have amazingly full lashes. I am very happy with this, and although I have found other MAC mascaras lacking in some way, with this, I have found MAC's holy grail for a thick, dark (did I say thick?) fringe.

This is a wonderful peel-off mask. Like most masks, this takes about 15 minutes or so to completely dry. The scent is beyond heavenly, like sun-drenched blackberries in a field. It pulls all of the junk out of your pores and leaves you fresh-faced. The only two issues are: you have to wait until it's all dry to remove, or else it does not peel off and leaves pieces (obviously) as well as the fact that it quickly turns your hands that color, and you must scrub away for a bit until it's gone. Fair tradeoff for such a wonderful product though.

This shampoo supposedly is clarifying AND gentle. Isn't that impossible?? Apparently not. Your hair feels cleaned in a way that the dirt and product and junk was just magically removed/taken away after using this. Having dry hair, I have felt like my hair was bleached ten times in one day when using a normal clarifying shampoo. Because of dry hair, I'm a huge fan of a great conditioner and whatever is not drying as a shampoo....but this shampoo changed all of that. I will never purchase another shampoo except to switch up once in a while.
