I picked up one of these in "Soft Peach" which was really flattering on me. When on your lips, it gives a minty, tingly feeling not unlike some of the cheaper, drugstore lip balm that contains mint. Nevertheless, it does feel nice while on the lips. The gloss itself wasn't too sticky although length of wear is just like any lipgloss, regardless of price. If you eat and drink, it WILL come off. Still, I prefer wearing lipgloss to lipsticks, especially during daytime. Not bad.

Physicians Formula Retro Glow Ultra-Dramatic Mascara for a false eyelash effect
False eyelash effect? No Way!
This is nothing more than your typical drugstore, run of the mill mascara. In other words, it's just average. It doesn't do anything extraordinary that other, similarly priced mascaras already do. The product was a bit clumpy and thick. It gave me the dreaded "spider legs effect" I hate so much. It didn't do anything to lengthen my lashes either. The only thing going for it is the container it comes in which is real neat looking. Can't complain much though because this mascara is priced just right for it's performance (or lack thereof).

I'm an NC35- NC40 (depending on season) and I purchased My Sunshine because of its orange base. The color actually looks like rust on my lips and even if I apply very little, the color is still too dark and too brown for my taste. I suspect it's because my lips are already slightly pigmented therefore I prefer a more peachy-coral tone to brighten it up as opposed to rust tones which darkens it even more. It's also very drying on the lips and a good lip balm is a must with this. With that said, staying power is decent, even after eating and drinking. After 4-5 hrs, there's still some color left on my lips and when it fades, it does so evenly without leaving patches of color here and there. On my cheeks it's okay but I have to really blend it good to avoid streaks and make it look natural. I prefer the Balm Stainiac lip stains to this one as the colors suit me better, even though Stainiac only has 3 colors to choose from.

This was the only product my face could tolerate while I was on prescription Retin -A as the Retin-A made my face dry, red and peely. Even moisturizers didn't work for me at the time because they stung like heck. This product, on the other hand, had the exact opposite reaction. It ACTUALLY soothed the irritation, made my face itch less and helped in alleviating the blotchy redness. Yes it's expensive but to me it was well worth the price I paid.

I bought one in "Peach" and although the color looks intense enough in the tube, it didn't give me enough color on my lips. It was simply too sheer. The consistency is also a bit sticky so I'd had to put my hair up to prevent it from sticking to my lips. As far as the applicator is concerned...it was basically useless and clumsy to apply. You HAVE to use a separate lip brush to get all the product out if you're going to use this gloss. I paid $20 for this product and it was a complete waste.

Good for managing hard to manage hair like mine. Makes it soft and smooth and very easy to manage.

The eyeliner was too light in coverage and I have had to swipe my lids with it at least twice to get the desired opacity. Even with that, it was still simply too light and even though I don't have oily eyelids, the eyeliner faded in 2 hours.

This is one of my favorite lip stain brands. I love the felt-pen type applicator that makes application easy and precise, with even color distribution. I have Purity which is a nudish color and Love, which is an orangey-red color. The red color gives you the Kool-Aid effect that is non drying. But just as with any lip stain, it's best to top off with a lip balm for added moisture and shine because this particular product dries to a matte finish. Unfortunately the color doesn't last the 8 hrs it claims to be as I only get about 5-6 hrs at the most. Still, that's not too bad.

I'm a runner and I get a lot of callous on my feet on a regular basis. My friend who works for Avon suggested I try this product and wow, it really works wonders. After two uses my callouses have reduced in size and stopped hurting. Definitely a worthy buy.

I have 4 different colors so far from this line by UD and because the colors are so intense (what you see in the pan is what you get on your lids), I only use it at night when going out. The product applies smoothly and blends easily with a good eyeshadow brush. Can be used wet or dry. Because it's portable, it can be taken with you anywhere, although I didn't have to as the colors stay put throughout the evening when wearing them without so much as fading.
