I have dark hair and so this works perfectly for my brows. I can't give it a perfect 10 though, since I think the brushes they give you are a bit small and I don't use them, but with a good angled brow brush, the wax and powder glide on beautifully, giving me the brows I wish I had. It's easy to make my brows more dramatic if I want, but still perfect for everyday use. Even though it's pricey at $30, i've had mine for over a year and honestly, it's the one product i use just about every day that I leave that house.

I don't have sensitive skin. It does run dry though and cetaphil is perfect for my skin. I love its consistency and feel - not too oily, not too thin, not too thick. It spreads smoothly, rinses easily, and leaves my skin feeling soft and cleansed. It doesn't remove makeup though - I recommend one of those wipes that do that (so as not to waste more water). I'm not sure where the $4.99 price comes from - maybe that's for a small bottle? You can get two 16 oz. bottles at costco for about $15 i think. It lasts a long time so i'm not sure if the price has gone up.

The first time i used this, i really saw and felt a difference in my skin. Since I'm still in my 20s, I'd like to think i don't have a ton of dry areas. I believe that prevention will go a long way though; better than trying to reverse damage in 10 years. Anyways, the polish is a good scrub that has very fine particles. I can feel it working, but it's not so harsh that I feel like I'm tearing my skin. The beads are small and evenly sized and sloughs away the top layer to reveal my baby soft skin underneath. My only problem with the system is the serum - it feels fine but i'm not sure if it's me, but my tube is cracking and comes spilling out in weird areas when i squeeze it. It's also a bit pricey at $85, but you don't need a lot, so it lasts a long time. I probably don't do it as often as i should, but I've had it for more than 6 months and i haven't finished either one yet.

I have been using this for 2 weeks and i'm already seeing a difference in the texture and appearance of my skin. I'm still in my mid-20s, so i don't have deep wrinkles or anything, but I'm hoping that early action will prevent wrinkles later on. My skin is definitely smoother, my complexion more even, and it generally just looks better. I balk at spending the $150, but Costco has a great 4-week introductory set for only $9.99 and so it's a great way to try it. I'm actually still on the 1st vial (of 4), so even using it 2x a day, it'll last me quite a while!. The only downside is that it's a little drying to my skin, so I really need to moisturize after using it.

I'm a little young to truly remember the matte lipsticks of the past - i was still a child in the 80's. However, I'm willing to try just about anything once to see if it works for me. The Mattene lipsticks - they work! The colors are beautiful, the pigment rich and intense and the finish is silky and matte. Even though it's definitely a matte finish, it glides on smoothly and doesn't look dried out or dry out your lips. I have two colors - a neutral and a red and both are just lovely. For a mere $14.50, it's a great lipstick!

These wipes are large and soft, good at removing basic face makeup. Heavier eye makeup can be more difficult to remove - i usually have to use a separate eye-makeup remover. They're good if you're on the go and just need a quick refresher.

HIP is definitely that - high intensity! I was quite impressed by the strong color of the shadows. The colors go on quite smoothly, blend easily, and last a long time. A lot of shadows aren't highly pigmented, but you won't have this problem with the HIP line. They are intense and with the right application, made my eyes look good. There are some wild colors, but also some neutral ones that are great for a long day at the office. Also nice is that these are available at almost any drugstore and are one can get them on sale at times.

This is a pretty good powder that gives my skin a smooth, silky appearance. Personally, i think it's a little heavy, so be sure to use a light hand and blend well. Overall though, it makes my skin look great, lasts a long time, and for it's price, it's a good powder.

My favorite part of this set is the stencils for the brows. I don't have a typically shaped brow - there isn't a big arch in them, so it was difficult to find a shape that fit my brows exactly. Moving the stencil around a little is good - but they really should have more shapes. Also, what's with the little piece of plastic in the middle of the stencil? When you're filling in the brow with the color, you end up with this little space in the middle that needs to be colored. Strange. However, the end result with the color and spooly brush gives me brows that frame my face well. The set comes with everything you need, but it's pricey and given that i normally don't have that much time to work on my brows, I don't use it as often as I'd like. Although the lack of use will mean it'll last a long time.

I use the It stick to highlight the inner corners of my eye as well as my browbone. I don't have a problem with undereye circles, so i can't speak to that use, but it does work to open up my eye. It's a pretty pale color, very neutral and blends pretty easily. Since it's a pencil, the tip can get a little dull if it's not sharp, making it more difficult to apply a fine line at the corner of my eye, but with some good sharpening and good blending, it makes my eyes pop very nicely.
