CoverGirl CG Smoothers BB Cream

Not very effective.

This stuff feels good going on, is nice on my skin, and doesn't irritate or anything, but I can't really tell that it does much of anything. I've taken comparison photographs with and without it, and it really seems to do nothing. Perhaps it just blends too well...

Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser

Fantastic!

I really love this cleanser. It is very gentle (even a little moisturizing, I think), but does a really good job. I almost never break out when I'm using this, and it keeps my skin really soft and nice. My only complaint is that the bottle is really ugly. I hate seeing it on the shelf next to my other products. Oh well. When it works this well, I can deal with the ugly packaging.

Max Factor 2000 Calorie Straight Brush Mascara

Perfect.

I couldn't ask for anything better than this mascara. It makes my lashes longer and thicker and gives a bit of a curl (which is good, because I'm usually in too much of a hurry to actually curl them every morning), thanks to the curved brush. It has never clumped up on me, and the tube is lasting forever. It doesn't flake off and irritate my eyes, either, which some mascaras do, and for being a nonwaterproof mascara, it lasts very well. It's also quite inexpensive, which is a major plus for a student like myself.

Rimmel London Vinyl Lip Lipgloss

Pretty, but doesn't last long.

This lipgloss really does have a lot going for it. It's very pretty - it adds a little color and a lot of shine. It feels good going on, very smooth and silky. It seems moisturizing, too - my lips never feel dry after wearing it. It tastes fantastic. :) And, of course, it's cheap. The only trouble is that it wears off in about twenty minutes, if that. So, it's nice, but only if you're willing to reapply a LOT.
