I used to live off of this stuff, but it's hard to find in the stores now. One of the best eye creams that I've tried. This is a simple, straight forward formula with great moisturizing and smoothing affects. Great for winter dryness without being too greasy. I also noticed a reduction in puffiness and darkness around the eyes. I used this cream a lot in my twenties when I went out almost every night and I always seemed to look good in the morning with Reviva's eye cream. Ahhhh...memories. I would be totally sick with hang over but my eyes would always look great!

This was an after-thought purchase, when I was shopping at Ulta. It is small, sort of like a sample size. I found that it lasted a good while. The cream stings a little when applied to the under eye, but then smooth skin follows. Yes, I did like this cream a lot. It is a good product. Not my usual pick, but good.

And I got it on sale at Ulta, buy one get one free and with a $3 off coupon! I'm glad I found a BOGO on this product because just one color will not do. I want all the colors now. I didn't find the brush included very useful, I use my own shadow brush from Body Shop (recommended by the way). The application was so easy. You can blend it with your base and it has a way of blending into your skin that the highlights and shading happen easily without much effort. This is great for me because I'm clueless about how to get the dramatic high fashion look. This product takes the effort and work out of being glam!

I was very satisfied with the price, the quality of product and the results of this styling product. I would recommend it to anyone. The ionizer made my hair more shiny and manageable. Also static is controlled very well! I have fine hair, so I like to use this brush to lift up my roots and smooth fly aways. A great trick for anyone with fine or thin hair is to use a dry shampoo like Pssst! after their blow-out to keep the roots lifted and oil free for the whole day! Who says you can't have cute and perky all day without hairspray?

I was also surprised that this eye shadow didn't come with an applicator, but this did not impact my score (I am a make-up brush queen so I don't use the cheap applicators that come with most eye shadows). I was surprised at how it stayed on and I could look in the mirror 5 hours later and still see the lilac sparkles on my eye lids. Despite what others have said about this product, I found that it stayed on better than other eye make-up. The fine minerals cling to the skin just as the foundation does. It tends, instead to settle into fine lines, so be careful with this product women over 30! Other than that, I give these mineral sheers a solid 8!

This one had me doing a double take. On one hand the concealer side of the product was a spot on great concealer, but on the other hand the highlight end of the product was confusing to me. I did not see a noticeable difference when I used it. Supposedly, it is supposed to brighten up areas of the skin like around the eyes and front of the nose. I did not get much of an effect from it. Perhaps, with practice, I will get a better benefit from the highlighter. But this product overall was a solid 8.

I like this eyeliner. I just tried it today. It stays better than my usual liner. The only draw back I can see with this liner is that it is difficult to blend it especially since I prefer a smokier eye. But I used a blending wedge with it and it blended fine after that. I just wish that this liner came with a blending tip. But I can see why it doesn't, it is a stay put kind of eye liner! Great for winter weather though!

Maybelline New York Define-a-Lash Waterproof Lengthening Mascara
Good Waterproof, a little too much fuzz
This mascara is not my favorite of Maybelline New York's line of mascaras. This waterproof mascara stays really well, but I find it goes on a bit thin and I have to apply several layers to get the volume I want but, when I get there, the affect is dramatic and very pretty. This product is very similar to a Chanel mascara that I tried that was also a lot of work, but way more expensive. So I give this product a slightly higher than average score and take points off for time spent getting the full effect. For anyone else with complaints about waterproof mascara, try an eye make-up remover with silicone. Neutrogena has some great make-up removers that can do the trick!

I was pleasantly surprised with this product. Paula Begoun will have you worrying for your sensitive skin with this toner, but I have very sensitive skin and I've had no big problems. Though, it has a drying affect, which can be welcome sometimes especially if you have confused skin like mine (oily with dry spots). It's important to follow this toner with a great antioxidant rich moisturizer. I found after using this toner, even though I could feel the dry affect on my skin after use, my moisturizer seemed to work a lot more affectively and I have less blackheads and enlarged pores as I continue to use this product. It's not a perfect solution, but it works effectively to clear and refine your pores. Just be prepared for a bit of dryness with a good moisturizer.

This is a great product for those who live in dry and/or cold climates. I think that it's particularly good for the Autumn and Winter seasons. You'll have Summer skin all through the year if you use this great product wisely. I recommend using this while in the shower after you've applied your shower gel. Apply a small amount to your feet and work it up your legs. Apply the same amount to your hands and work the gel up your arms and chest. Turn up the heat in your shower and let the oil gel melt into your skin! Voila! You come out of the shower clean and moisturized- no need for lotion! When I use this product in the shower, it makes my skin feel like it retains the same moisture even after I dry off and go out into the cool dry air of Autumn. My feet and hands are soft and my skin feels perfectly moisturized without feeling greasy.
