I love this product! I use it when my hair is wet, over some kind of moisturizing or strengthening cream, or dry after I straighten it. It's not greasy at all, yet leaves a beautiful sheen in my hair, which makes it look healthier, and minimizes the look of split ends. Since it's so inexpensive, I would recommend this to anyone who wants their hair a little shinier.

You can use this all over your face and mix it with foundation, but I just use it on my cheeks, and it is gorgeous! I have "blush"-- it's slightly shimmery and gives a pretty glow. It's smooth and silky and spreads evenly without any problems. Color payoff is sheer, yet very buildable so you can use as much or little as you want. But be careful with the pump, it squirts out way too much. The price is a little high, but you get a lot. I can see my bottle easily lasting at least a year.

I was very excited to try this primer and was very disappointed when it didn't work the way I thought it would. The one thing I love is that it helps my straight lashes keep their curl all day, which is a big deal. But, it also makes the lashes clumpy, crispy and they stick together. It makes them look somewhat thicker, but again, clumpy. Also, it's very hard to wash off at night. Even with a greasy eye makeup remover, a lot of rubbing is need to get everything off. I usually love lancome, so I was surprised I didn't like this. :(

I'm going along with the other reviewers here: this scent is WOODSY! I usually go for muskier, slightly floral scents (think the "sexies" at bath and body works) so this perfume isn't my favorite. Others said it smelled fine when they first put it on then turned gross later; I had the opposite experience. I hated it at first, but later it didn't seem too bad. However, it's so light that even if you love the fragrance, you'll probably be disappointed because it fades so quickly!

Maybelline New York Define-A-Lash Volume Washable Mascara
The best thing about this mascara-- the stopper!
My absolute favorite thing about this stuff is the stopper. It is super small and you really have to tug at the brush to get it out of the tube (putting it back in takes effort too). This is NOT a bad thing! The stopper gets all the globs and clumps off the brush so they don't get on my lashes. As for the mascara and brush, it's not bad. Delivers moderate volume, and nice definition and separation, which is partly because it's a rubber brush. Overall this is a great deal, especially if you catch it on a BOGO sale.

This mascara is interesting. The brush is unique, and since it's so small it's able to get every lash, even the tiny ones on the corners. It separates the lashes nicely and adds definition. It also lengthens amazingly, and holds curl well. A big drawback for me though: it doesn't offer a lot for volume. My lashes looked very defined and long, but not very thick. I also didn't like the stopper; it left some clumps on the brush. Overall, this isn't bad, but will work best for ladies with short lashes.

This shampoo doesn't dry my hair out and it smells amazing. Having said that, it doesn't perform that much differently from drugstore products so it's not worth the salon price.

I apply this to my blemishes, then blend it in with a concealer brush. It covers them beautifully and stays all day. A downside is that it can be cakey if I use too much, especially if my skin is dry. So this winter, I might have to stop using it when my skin pretty much loses all moisture :(. So, I would only recommend this to people with oily or combo skin.

A pack of these is $10, which seemed like a lot to me until I opened it. It actually comes with 2 packs of 65. That's amazing! A much better deal than drugstore tissues. They work really well too. I usually only need 1 or 2 a day, and it keeps shine away for a few hours without smudging my makeup. However I wish each tissue was bigger. I feel like I run out of it when I'm trying to cover all my face. Other than that, I'm very happy with these.

I love this powder. It keeps shine away for a good few hours and doesn't look cakey. Also, it doesn't clog my pores, which is a big deal. The applicator it comes with isn't the greatest though; I usually only use it in the morning if I'm wearing liquid foundation and need more coverage and shine control. Otherwise I carry a brush with me which actually works much better because it applies a lighter layer of the powder. Even with that minor detail, this powder is a very good buy!
