I wasn't overly impressed with this product. I got the "regular" CG jumbo gloss balm in "Rose Twist" and the color inside is NOT the color indicated by the cap. I should have know as I had this same issue with the CG outlast lip stains which I just can't stand. This doesn't really have the moisture it should either. All in all, very disappointing...sigh.

I seem to always come back to this brand and formula for lipsticks. The formula is really great, especially for the price, and there are just so many shades! My personal favorites are : Rose & Shine, Smokey Rose and Blushed, as they're great natural shades in the "MLBB" type of category. My lips never get dried out and the colors wear for a decent amount of time, even though they're not specifically tagged as long wearing. I have no doubt I will continue to buy my favorites as well as find new shades to love as well.

I have found this lip stain to be pretty good, once you can find a color that works for you. As with all of the drug store felt tip marker types of lip stains, the colors are very different on than they appear on the outside of the product. This product lasted on my lips better than any other from the drugstore and the lip balm is really nice. Mine has not had the lip balm end break off as of yet (had it about a week). They need to work on the colors and the lasting ability since it still doesn't last as long as it should.

Okay, this one is not a keeper, at all. The product was very hard to blend and seemed to stick to my skin in clumpy patches. My skin is oily to combination and I'd just put on a moisturizer and a primer so this should not have happened. It didn't blur any imperfections and I sure didn't feel "photo ready". I washed it off pretty quickly and returned it to the store.

This winter has just been brutal on my hair, skin and nails so I have been looking for products that either will add moisture or at least, not take it away and make things worse. I bought this mascara not so much for making my lashes grow as to prevent them from getting worse. This mascara fits the bill. I haven't had any issues with clumping but that could be because I wipe the wand to remove the excess mascara before applying it. I like the big brush as it really gets into the lashes and makes them fuller and longer. Again, I didn't buy this to make the lashes grow so I can't speak to if that effect is true however, my lashes are no longer as brittle and aren't breaking or falling out the way they did before I started using this mascara. It doesn't flake or smear and has lasted on me all day. All in all, I will repurchase this product and also recommend it.

This stuff is amazing!!! My hair is fine in texture but its very long and curly and I have a lot of it. Most beach sprays I've used in the past either weighed my hair down, didn't actually work or, if it did work, it was outrageously expensive (here's looking at you Bumble & Bumble! LOL). Most of them caused my hair to dry out too. This spray actually gives me body, makes incredible waves and curls and doesn't damage my hair. Plus, it smells amazing too, like fresh, clean beach air. The best part is it seems to work best when I let my hair dry naturally. I normally use this with the Tousle Cream in the line, which I apply to the ends and mid shaft of my hair first to eliminate frizz and then I spray this in and then work both into my hair with my hands. It can also be sprayed in later to revive the hair. I can't even begin to tell you how many compliments I've gotten since I started using this product. I will definitely be using this all Spring/Summer and I highly recommend to others.

Wow, I bought this based on a review above by x3SarahL where she said the Light shade was perfect for her pale skin. Well...LOL. I did NOT have her same "good" results. I am lily white, which I guess is much paler than her "pale" because the Light shade turned me Oompa Loompa orange and I barely tapped my fan brush into the product. I truly can't attest to the formula and what it does, or doesn't do, vs other bronzers because I washed it off immediately and then returned it today. This stuff is so dark it won't even work for me when I get the small amount of color I get in the summer. I guess I'll stick with my current bronzer...so much for trying to save a buck or 2!! LOL

I kept seeing this getting plugged in articles and then saw it during a 40% off the brand sale so picked it up. The formula doesn't clump, flake or irritate my sensitive eyes. However, the blasted brush is so huge and curved that its kinda hard to get into the base of the lashes and do the base "lash wiggle" that gives such a great effect. While it did give me a respectable curl, it wasn't equal to using a lash curler. Also, it didn't seem to lengthen or thicken either. Since I didn't pay hardly anything for it, I'll keep it but I don't think I'd buy it again.

I am not in agreement with the prior reviewer on this product, at all. I am really thinking she got a bad tube and also the wrong shade. First, there are 2 shades of this product and you really need to get the right one for your depth of skin tone. Sunbeam, which is the lighter shade is such a close match to Benefit's Highbeam its not even funny (I swatched them both on my hand next to each other and I couldn't believe how close they were!) that I am now switching to NYX for good, at a 1/4 of the price I might add! Also, this comes in a tube which is more hygenic then Benefit's bottle with brush and the tube really has a decent amount of product in it. I didn't find it to be "glittery" at all. It has a nice shimmer and I was able to use it in the day time on my paperwhite skin without anyone asking me if I had "disco fever". LOL It didn't irritate my skin or make me break out either. The deeper shade, Gleam, is more for a deeper, richer skin tone or can be used more of a liquid blush for someone with a lighter skin tone. This is my favorite NYX product so far.

I think this tinted lip balm is the best next to the Fresh Sugar balms and much, much cheaper. After reading Carole's reviews of NYX products (thank you, Carole!! You ROCK!!!), I decided to get a few to try as she really finds great stuff and her reviews are spot on. This one was one of my top favorite items that I tried. The formula is so nice, very moisturizing but not greasy and they smell amazing. The price is exceptional, you get a lot of product for the price and they have a wide range of colors. Also, the brand is cruelty free and I love that. I have Shukran, which is a pinky-nude, MLBB shade and also Tack, which is a little more on the nude side of pink and matches their stick blush shade, Waterlily, (which is another fave! LOL) perfectly. I will definitely be ading to my collection of these balms!
