The NYX Diamond Sparkle Lip Gloss is a great quality product at a reasonable price! It provides a lot of color and shine, but isn't sticky or thick! Plus, the sparkle is perfect for evening when you want to dazzle a little bit!

I love the texture and shine of the Stila It Gloss! It feels great on your lips and lasts for quite a while! There is just enough color to make the lips defined but not over-glossed and sticky!

I really like AVON's Flavor Savers Lip Glosses! I have tried all the flavors and can't pick a favorite because they are all good! The neat thing is that they don't smell or taste "artificial" - Even the Bubble Gum smells like an actual gum ball! The formula is really moisturizing and leaves your lips soft and smooth! Plus, they are often on sale for only 99 cents, so you can't beat that!

I am very fond of many of C&E products, especially their hand creams. The Avocado, Olive, and Basil formula is so moisturizing and has a light, pleasant fragrance that doesn't wreak havock with my allergies! I love the small tube because it fits perfectly in my purse! Although it is on the pricey side, you don'e need a lot of it to do the job, so you do get your money's worth!

The Mary Kay Nourishine Plus Lip Gloss provides a great array of colors, so I have several in various shades that I use in different seasons. The gloss is thick, but not sticky, and shiny, but not plastic-looking. I love the bit of sparkle too, especially in the spring and summer months! Recently, the company offered a sample box of the lip glosses with a $40 purchase, which is a super way to try the colors before you buy!

The Urban Decay Perversion Mascara definitely gives lashes a deep, dark color, making them appear longer, thicker, and more dramatic! My only complaint is the brush, which is large and bulky, so it is difficult to get into the corners to coat the smaller lashes. The brush is also in a helix shape, which is not a preferred style for me, as I find that the mascara tends to clump in the valleys and doesn't apply evenly.

This formula is pure magic! I love DHC anyway, but their Velvet Skin Coat is one of their best products! It has a smooth, velvety texture that feels soothing on the skin. I think of it like canvas primer... It fills in deep pores, smooths rough spots, and primes the skin for beautiful make-up application! I have combination skin... A bit oily in the t-zone. However, it is definitely dry in the winter and oily in the summer, but I have found the Velvet Skin Coat to work no matter what my skin condition or the weather! Really an amazing product!

I love DHC products because they are made with high-quality ingredients that are good for the skin! I live in the Northeast where the winters are rough, so I use hand lotion like it's going out of style! The Olive Hand Cream is a nice formula that provides a lot of moisture. It really soaks into the skin, so you don't have to constantly re-apply it. The tube is on the small side though, so try to get it on sale!

I am a huge Julep fan, so I wanted to love the Essential Cuticle Oil. However, I didn't fall head-over-heels. It is a good cuticle oil, but ins't the best I have tried. It has a pleasant, unoffensive scent and the oil soaks in to the skin quickly. However, I find the roller ball to be difficult to use on the cuticle line, so I would prefer a brush or sponge-tip applicator. The glass bottle is nice, but I am nervous that I will drop it!

Julep and Butter London are the foundation of my nail polish royal court, the king and queen, so to speak! I LOVE everything about the Julep polishes, especially the variety and vibrancy of the colors! I also appreciate that the product is 5-free! Julep often has amazing sales, so you can get the polishes at reasonable prices or as free gifts with purchases! My favorite color polish out of every one I own (and I own at least 500 polishes, around 150 of which are Julep), is Ivy, a perfect cerulean blue with fine silver sparkles. It reminds me of the night sky! Anyway, the polishes are long-lasting, chip-resistant, and provide thorough coverage! Oftentimes, I only need one coat! Julep has elevated polish to a whole new level and I am so glad I discovered it!
