This is a great product for the cheekbones and under the brows for highlighting....but do not use too much. The amount that I use, this is a bottle that could outlast my lifetime.

I break brushes like it is nobody's business, whether by dropping them or stepping on them, etc. This one is good at taking my beatings and has great vents for blowdrying. An inexpensive but tough brush for anyone who needs to think about brush wear and tear like I do.

This mascara was one that I got as a deluxe sample and figured that I would use for emergencies. Happily, I opened it this morning and was delighted to see a new, innovative brush which is more like a strange, pliable plastic, curved comb. Not expecting very much, or at least assuming I could use it after using another mascara for additional length, I was surprised and happy to find out exactly how amazingly long this made my lashes. My top lashes looked like they were literally two times their length. I then applied to my bottom lashes and found that they too were doubled (I usually do not do my bottom lashes, as they are quite long already, I was basically doing this to see exactly how much lash was added by this mascara). No, this is not a volumizing mascara, but I have to admit that it did more than many volumizing mascaras claim to. If you are looking for lots of length, and a fair amount of volumizing, this is a great go-to. As I am a fan of go-big-or-go-home, I am going to try it tomorrow with a volumizing mascara for the last couple coats. I am sure by the effect this gave me on its own that it will not disappoint. Right now, my lashes truly do look like doll lashes.

I have dry skin so I don't enjoy anything from the Clean and Clear line. Except this!! Usually I love a hydrating cream cleanser, but there are just some mornings after a late night where you feel like you need to wake up and a deep cleanser as well! This takes care of both. The scent is a nice scent that wakes you up. It does dry out your skin a bit, but there is no questioning as to whether it cleaned your skin, it feels tighter and brighter. I like to use this once a week or every couple of weeks. It's good!

Love this lipstick....it is more like a heavy gloss, or a light lipstick, but it drenches your lips in shine!! It does make them appear fuller, in a very, very natural way, somehow the extreme gloss combined with the color gives the illusion of natural yet perfect lips. The only downside, as others have written, is that the cap comes off ALL of the time. But it is so wonderful, I keep throwing it in my bag anyways.

This product does lift, and it has great coverage....my skin is perfect with it, the only problem is that it does not blend well unless you blend it immediately. You have to do one area at a time. And if you decide to try it without a moisturizer that was applied IMMEDIATELY before, then you will have so much dry skin it will not be able to sink in.

Though I adore OPI, when I discovered China Glaze, I somewhat fell off of the "OPI is tops" bandwagon. This polish does the same job OPI does....but something about their so "in your face" colors is very appealing to me. Before grey was "cool", they had an amazing grey color. A perfect grey color. There is a broad spectrum of colors, and each color in and of itself is absolutely stunning. The best polish, guaranteed!!

Something about OPI....the coverage, the colors, the brush, the ease of the bottle shape...when you are in the mood, well, mood for anything basically!!....they will have a corresponding color. All wonderful. Beautiful finishes, even without a topcoat.

Dyeing, bleaching, re-dyeing, highlights, bleaching, dyeing....this will make your hair as shiny and glowing as hair that has never come close to peroxide. I put it in when my hair is dry, tie it up and leave it for a day (when possible), and then wash it out with shampoo and then conditioner. It really changes your hair for the better. I use it once a week, and that is enough.

I always swipe this along my collarbone, decollette and arms before heading out.....I swipe along the sides of the collarbones, top of my chest, and one long swipe on each arm down. I also swipe down the front and back of my legs if I wear a skirt or dress. It really makes you glow. Sometimes in a pinch I use it along my cheekbones. Nice, golden glow that looks great on white to black skin. The only issue is the applicator on the smaller versions is prone to breaking.
