This mask leaves my hair feeling soft and silky which is a big deal since it's long and colored. Which equals damage. :( The thing is, it works the best when I use it twice a week instead of once. This obviously makes the jar run out faster. But since this is a drugstore brand and price, it's a small price to pay (literally).

This would probably work for people who are extremely fair and need a really sheer tanner. I put it on my legs almost every day, and it did give them some gradual color, but not very deep. On the plus side it didn't streak or look orange.

I apply this under my eyes and it does a fair job of brightening the dark circles. If the circles are really dark, it doesn't work as well because if I add more I end up looking like a clown (eek!). But for moderate circles, I like it. It also works well as a subtle highlighter just above my cheekbones.

I LOVE this brush (and this brand LOL!). It stays soft and blends eyeshadow very well. Sonia Kashuk brushes are a little pricey compared to other drugstore brands, but they are nowhere near dept. store prices. And the quality is amazing! Try this brush before running to MAC or Sephora for more expensive choices-- it's fantastic!

Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Loose Powder
Wasn't impressed, but I wore it over liquid foundation.
I found this powder to be a little heavy, but I think it's intended to be worn alone, so that was my mistake I suppose. Aside from that though, my face didn't stay shine free for very long, which was another downside. Also, the brush is terrible. It is very stiff and is difficult to keep clean. So my advice would be if you want to try this, wear it alone, and use a separate brush to get the best results.

This hand cream moisturizes very well without being too greasy. Avon's other moisture therapy "intensive" cream is much oilier, so I only use it before I go to bed. But this cream soaks right in. It leaves my hands feeling soft and smooth. And it's Avon, so it's affordable!

This eyeshadow duo is a great beauty find. It's affordable (2 colors for under $10!) and the product is very good quality. The powder feels silky soft and goes on very smoothly. Colors are easy to blend and stay all day without fading or creasing (I use a primer of course!). Dancing Queen is a set of 2 beautiful purples that really compliment my greenish-blue eyes. I will be getting many more colors in this product!

Lancome eyeshadows come in a lot of gorgeous colors. The color payoff is good, and so is staying power. The feel is smooth, silky and blendable. The price is steep, but it's worth it.

This lip shine smells SO good- and it reminds me of Christmas. :) The color is really pretty, like a light reddish pink and it goes on very smoothly. It also lightly moisturizes my lips, unlike other glosses. It doesn't last a ridiculously long time, maybe an hour or 2, but I never expected it to. If you like the smell of mint, you will love this.

This bronzer is very sheer, and that's why I like it. I can apply it without worrying about looking like a clown, and also build the color if I need to. I'm pretty fair, so that works well for my situation. If you are naturally tan, you might not be satisfied with this product though (especially considering the price). One more tip: it says "matte" but there's a tiny bit of sparkle. :)
