I bought myself this blush because of the hype, and I'm glad I did. The color is sheer, yet buildable, and it gives my fair skin a gorgeous peachy glow. One (small) downside however: it has a lot of shimmer. So oilier-skinned ladies might not appreciate that. For me, it isn't a huge deal but I make sure I don't wear this on super hot and humid days. The cost is a little steep, but this is a very good quality product!

CoverGirl Exact Eyelights Eye-Brightening Mascara
Probably doesn't brighten eye color, but a fun product anyway.
I have the version of this mascara for blue eyes, and it's a deep navy color with sparkles. I don't think it makes a noticeable difference in my eye color, but adds drama if you're looking for something other than black. Just as a mascara it isn't bad; it has a rubber brush which helps prevent clumps, and adds nice length. Also, it seems to hold curl well. I was pleasantly surprised by these things because I thought the quality might be lacking with such an emphasis on "eye-brightening." So I'm happy with this stuff!

These palettes come in gorgeous colors and are very affordable. The consistency is smooth and blends easily. The color seems to stay all day without fading or creasing (over primer of course!) which is very nice. The reason I didn't give it 10 stars is because I didn't like the highlight shade. It's too shimmery! But it's not a big deal; this quad is a very smart buy.

This gives the skin a gorgeous glow! I mixed it with my foundation because I need more coverage, and it looked really pretty. Unfortunately, I broke out horribly after using it and had to give it away. If you don't have sensitive or acne-prone skin and don't need a lot of coverage, this will probably look beautiful on you!

This blush is creamy, and very pigmented. The coverage is buildable, so you can create a very sheer, or dramatic look. The consistency is a tad sticky, but it's easy enough to blend in, so that doesn't bother me. It's staying power is relatively good, but on humid days I have noticed it fades just a little. Overall, I'm happy with it.

This stuff is called "clear makeup" but the fact is, it doesn't cover anything, or minimize imperfections. But it's a great moisturizer. It can be a little greasy, so I use it at night before bed a lot. If my skin is dry in the morning, then I use it as a moisturizer/primer instead of my usual moisturizer. I love it because it makes my skin super soft, and doesn't break me out. A tad pricey, but I will definitely repurchase.

I bought this as an alternative to those pathetic brushes that come with blushes and also as a less expensive option to something from MAC or Sephora. I'm SO glad I purchased this! It's very soft and applies color evenly. It also holds up to use and washing-mine hasn't shed yet, yay! It's a little pricey compared to other brushes you could find at Target, but its quality is well worth it.

This shampoo cleanses my hair without drying it out. It also doesn't contain sulfates which can accelerate color fade. That is a big plus for me. I've tried other sulfate-free shampoos and they didn't clean my hair at all. The price isn't bad either, but the bottle is on the small side. Overall I like this shampoo and this brand enough to keep buying and trying new products from their line.

It's weird that other reviewers found this conditioner too heavy because I thought it didn't give me enough moisture. Maybe my hair is just really dry, but I didn't get the intense, greasy results with this like other people did. It isn't bad; but I had to use kind of a lot to get my hair adequately covered (I always avoid the roots though). Overall it's not bad, not amazing.

Apply this primer before your eyeshadow, and it will stay all day without creasing or fading! Just make sure you apply a thin layer (using too much causes everything to crease). I know UDPP is extremely popular and people swear by it, but this primer is a much better choice just because of the packaging. Both products perform the same, but TFSI doesn't need to be cut in half to get all the product out.
