Very original and colorful packaging which I like but the actual mascara is not very good in my opinion. First off, the smell is not at all pleasant and very strong. Secondly, I didn't notice any lenghtening or volumizing. The only difference between wearing this mascara and my bare lashes is that it makes them blacker.

I am absolutely loving this powder foundation. It covers well even acne and evens out my skintone. The texture is soft enough that it could be used as a loose powder with the convenience of a compact. I will definitely be buying this product again and again.

Great product and it is truly multi-purpose. I got a trio of minis which included Coppacabana, O***** and South Beach. The Coppacabana is an off-white color which I love to use in the inner corners of eyes, on cheekbones/temples, and underneath eyeshadows for extra glow. O***** is a pieachy-pink color which I love using as cream blush after I do my foundation and underneath nude eyeshadows to give my eyes that summery glow. South beach is a tan-apricot color that is fantastic to use as bronzer or eyeshadow even on my fairly pale skin. When using the Multiples on my dry/extremely acne-prone cheeks, I noticed that I don't have to blend at all because of the ultra-creamy texture. This is a major plus because sometimes the blending action sensitizes my skin too much and could make me break out. I would definitely repurchase--I think I'll be trying Luxor and Palm Beach next...

This is one of the most fast-acting skincare solutions that I have ever tried. My skin is EXTREMELY acne-prone and the winter weather has left it extremely parched--so needless to say, finding a decent moisturizer for me is a difficult task. However, this tinted moisturizer has surpassed my expectations in that my skin cleared up only after 3 uses (no more whiteheads or bumps), evens out my skintone, keeps my skin comfortably hydrated and provides a smooth base for my foundation. Yes, I use this product under foundation because my skintone is fair and this "light to medium" tint is too dark/warm-toned for me. I learned to work with this downfall and eliminated bronzer, day moisturizer, sunscreen and acne spot treatment from my routine. Definitely happy with this product and would definitely recommend it to people of all ages (whether you need help with acne or with aging skin). Now, I'm hoping that this product will also help fade away skin discoloration (as promised on the package) over time, of course. The price of $19.99 is very fair in my opinion and I would be willing to pay more...but please don't make me!

This brush applies lots of powder evenly without making a mess. For full coverage, this is a must-have tool!

This is perfect for people like me who don't want to subject their teeth to intense whitening every few months. I use this whitener to make my teeth brighter without making them extra sensitive.

I didn't like the texture of these eyeshadows because they felt too rough on my eyelid and I like powders to be more fine. Also, for the price, this isn't exactly wallet-friendly even for a drugstore line.

This is the best Clinique perfume in my opinion because it's not overly pungeant like the original Happy could be due to all that citrus blended in it. In Bloom is different--it's young, fresh yet complex and sophisticated at the same time. I would classify it as a soft floral. The downside with this perfume is that it's only available once a year starting in January until they are sold out. For reference, I also love Chanel Chance, Givenchy Absolutely Irresistible and Dior Addict. The lasting power is quite good--around 6 hours with two sprays.

I love and slightly dislike the NARS lipglosses at the same time. The colors are gorgeous especially Harlow, Bloodwork and Orgasm. My favorite combinations are Orgasm on top of a clear lip balm followed by a coral lipstick on top of the gloss. The second fantastic combination consists of applying the Harlow lipgloss and then blending Bloodwork on top--what you get is the most gorgeous bright and glossy red lip ever which will be super hot for spring and summer! The next 4 hours or so feel good ONLY if you layer a lip balm underneath but if you dare wear this gloss without one, you will end up with those hideous white lines on your lips. Even though these are quite expensive for a lipgloss, they are worth it just because of the color selection. One last word of advice: do not stock up on these because they will start smelling badly in a few months. I love to buy just two at a time or get those pretty holiday sets [which come with 5 colors] and wear often--which you will want to do with the colors available.

The color that I've been loving from this range is Sweet Plum which is a sheer deep burgundy color on me (Clinique Black Honey dupe). This color is fantastic because it's still that statement dark winter lip without overpowering my fair skin or my eye makeup. The texture is also very nice--moisturizing and softening to my lips however, I did not notice any plumping action which is ok with me. This product has a slight citrusy scent to it which goes away after a couple of minutes so nobody should have a problem with it.
