This balm is one of the best I've tried - it soothes my very sensitive, chapped lips, but doesn't contain the petroleum I hate and doesn't feel thick and greasy. Some people will be bothered by the smell, and the fact that it doesn't have an SPF keeps me from giving this a perfect score, but if you aren't picky - this is truly worth a try. The pomegranate oils feel wonderful on dry lips, and the cinnamon/pomegranate scent can be refreshing. I actually prefer this to the original Burt's Bees, because its texture seems thinner. Excellent price at about $3, too.

These palettes are truly my favorite product from Wet n Wild. You might be a little suspicious because they come 8 shadows per box for about $4, but the quality is great. Some are more or less matte and some have a slight shimmer to them, but you can mix and match so easily because they're all very well-coordinated. For a time, I wore mine every day because they were so versatile and easy-to-use - well-pigmented, easy to blend, and simple to apply. It's almost fool-proof.The pull-out mirror is especially nice and handy, since it's actually big enough to see what you're doing! I'd love if they released these in more colors, but for now, there are three to choose from that are likely to flatter almost anyone. Love these! And again, great value for the quality and quantity!

I picked up a few of these for the great price and the bold colors, which I really enjoy. However, as others have mentioned, you really get what you pay for in this case. The finish is just awful - no smoothness whatsoever, very chunky, streaky, and coarse. The shine, color, and shimmer are fun, but with the finish it just ends up looking too gaudy. These do chip very easily, too, which makes them worth skipping even more. If you're looking for the colors and better quality, try Sinful Colors instead - they're only $1.99 and loads better.

This is an awesome, gentle daily scrub. I, too, am a long-time victim of the apricot scrub, with its huge, coarse particles that scratch up pores. THIS, however, has such fine round particles that they're very difficult to see, but extremely effective. Used daily, it gently exfoliates, smooths skin, and can help improve clarity and brightness. It easily glides over wet skin and feels like a normal liquid cleanser , not a harsh, rough scrub. The smell is pleasant, and skin isn't left overly dry after. This won't replace your weekly heavy-duty exfoliation session, but it's wonderful for daily cleansing

First, I actually enjoy the bold packaging - it's fun to have in my purse and to take out. :) Next, while this one is prone to some very minimal clumping on me, I can usually just use the wand to separate them out and define my lashes. This definitely adds volume and lift for me, which is actually something I don't see with most volumizing mascaras without the clump-fest. I'd like if it left my lashes a little softer, though. Try the waterproof if it smudges or flakes on you, and overcurl your lashes before applying if you're worried about uncurling. I really liked this mascara, though, and I'm quite picky about them. But it makes my lashes look great, and I wear it several days a week.

This is my favorite nail product, ever. I grow long natural nails, and this helps keep them in perfect shape - since starting to use it, I've had minimal peeling, no cracks whatsoever, and steady growth. The shine is also amazing, and makes them look like acrylics or gels. (I often get the question, "Are those real?") The product wears very well, lasting for over a week and still looking good - though a fresh coat can be applied if desired. It also works nicely as a base coat, and makes a great top coat. All in all, though the price needs to be lowered, it's an amazing product.

I used to have a big love/hate relationship with this product, especially after they changed the formula the first time (it was gross, overly greasy, and smelled awful) - however, they seem to have fine-tuned it again to be just about perfect. This lip treatment has some amazing, wonderfully soothing ingredients that condition and soften lips for hours. It's silky on your skin, not too oily or greasy, and feels wonderful when massaged in. The non-overpowering smell and pleasantly light, minty taste combined with the texture make it very addictive; you won't mind reapplying a few times. The only downsides are that the wear time is nothing amazing, and there is no SPF - which would make it totally perfect. Other than that, though, I adore this, and am willing to shell over the $6 to repurchase now.

I don't really understand why the entire line is yellow-based, because from my experiences, very fair-skinned girls are not yellow-based. I picked the lightest shade available, and it was still too dark and yellow for my skin. In addition, I found this very hard to blend and spread on my skin. The coverage was good, but looked thick on my light complexion and rather cakey, very obvious and not natural at all. I tried a variety of different application methods. I might try a different product from this brand, but this one is not really for me. Be careful, fair-skinned girls, and try it before buying!

I found this far too yellow for my skin, and it was difficult to blend in. The click pen is an interesting idea, but lots of product gets stuck in the brush tip. Then it's difficult to get anything out. I didn't care for this as a concealer at all.

I really like the thermal protection and frizz fighter in one product, but it just doesn't do much for my very unruly frizz. I find myself using more product in hopes that it works better, but that just makes my hair greasy. Maybe I'll look into the extra strength frizz-ease instead.
