Here are all my reviews:

I was actually surprised how nice this shadow was. If you're not a big fan of the applicator, then you probably will not like it, but I was already used to it based off of the Maybelline Shadow stylist which has the same application brush. The color was really pretty and lasted a long time. I just had to use a separate brush to blend the color on. I was pleasantly surprised overall.

I really like this moisturizer. It does illuminate my face and isn't greasy. It brightens my skin nicely. However, I wouldn't recommend it for people who don't already have gold, yellow, warm undertones. It tends to bring out the yellowness in your complexion. And I'm not a big fan of the scent. That's why I gave it a 9 rather than a 10. Otherwise, I really like it.

I read some of the other reviews and saw that this product was not very highly rated, but honestly, I would give it an 8 or 9 because I was really surprised when I used it. My friend gave me a few of them for Christmas and I was a little skeptical. She only uses MAC so I was wondering why she bought Maybelline. And she told me the lady at the MAC store was wearing some really nice eyeshadow and when she asked her what it was, she said it was Shadow Stylist. So, when I gave it a try, I was pleasantly surprised at the consistency of the powder and the relative ease of applying the powder. It's not messy at all - at least it wasn't for me. The only thing I would suggest to get the best application is to put it on with the brush they include and then use your own brush to even it out. Otherwise, I think it's a nice shadow! :)

My friend gave this palette to me as a gift for Christmas and the colors are gorgeous. I have it in Hedonist. The smell is not your typical lipstick-y smell and it doesn't have much of a taste, which is also good. The ONLY thing I don't like about it is that the creaminess can work against an even application. I kind of wish it was in a stick applicator or something. But otherwise a great product!

I have very curly hair, which I've never seemed to master getting frizz-free. I've tried a plethora of products and was always pretty dissatisfied. I tried this product because I liked the shampoo and conditioner, and wow! was I surprised! It leaves my hair conditioned and the curls are so much more defined and less frizzy than ever. I like the fact that it has oil in it because my hair is naturally pretty dry. Great product!

This mascara was recommended to me by a friend who normally shells out a fortune on makeup, so I decided to give it a try. I normally don't use mascara because of my sensitive eyes, but because of her recommendation coupled with the fact that it's by Neutrogena (and I love their products), I figured I could test this one out. I absolutely LOVE this mascara. It went on so smoothly and never clumped my lashes or flaked them. And when it came time to wash it off, it didn't irritate my eyes the way most other mascaras have. My ONLY negative about this mascara is that it doesn't really volumize my lashes. It more so defines them. So, the volume part of the name is a little misleading. But overall, GREAT for sensitive eyed people who love mascara.

I bought the Iced Coffee but ended up exchanging it for the one in this picture because it was too light. The colors go on a lot lighter than in the box, which can be good if you want a natural looking wash of color...but if you're going for bold, eye popping color, this wouldn't be the shadow. I agree with the reviewer down below that these shades would probably be best suited for mature women and/or professionals who want a hint of color without looking extremely made up. It's packaged nicely and goes on pretty well. Just use an actual eye shadow brush if you don't like the applicator included.

My best friend gave me this lip gloss for Christmas and told me how much she loved it. I was a little skeptical about it, but after trying it I really liked it too! It's not sticky but leaves your lips really smooth. I read some of the other reviews about it being too pink. It does make your lips pink, but I liked the shade of pink it turned my lips. It also does last a long time.

I got this eyeshadow in a combo pack with the mineral sheers pressed powder. It is actually really nice for a natural look. If you're expecting eye popping colors, this isn't the eyeshadow for you. It's got a sheen to it, and it's very light. But it's great for going to work or just a regular day. I liked the way it added a little brightness to my eye area. It's great for everyday wear.

I received this lip gloss as a gift and was skeptical about trying it. Normally, I LOVE Ulta brand cosmetics, but I tend to stay away from the lip products. I was surprised that it wasn't sticky and had a relatively decent taste/smell. The color was beautiful as well, and it was nice and shiny. However, the staying power or lack thereof was what disappointed me. This is one of those glosses that needs reapplication. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this.
