For a dollar you can't go wrong with these babies! I was surprised at how good they were, considering the price. I won a gift card ELF so thought I'd buy and try the lashes since I was dying to try fake lashes and I was NOT going to spend 12 bucks + for name brand lashes to test so I got all three in black and they are very natural looking, even the 'dramatic' lashes. I wore them out and people thought they were my real lashes. I've used one a few times and they were just fine. However the glue isn't good at all. The glue is really runny and thin. They hold up but not for long. Probably a couple hours. Use a different glue with these lashes but other than that, perfect value. I'll stock up.

I love this foundation for it's really light and it gives a really smooth, natural finish to the skin. It lasts all day, little transfer of product and is nice for oily skin. I find it doesn't break me out or clog my pores. The formula is like water but a little goes a long way. It doesn't cover bumps and pimples so don't try to use a lot thinking its going to give more coverage, you would definitely need a heavier foundation with more coverage for that. This is perfect for evening out the skin tone, like if you have scars you want to cover. I use a heavier foundation if i'm having a bad breakout. This gives a natural look. I love it! FYI, this does not have SPF so you would have to put some sunscreen on under this.

I love the texture of these glosses even though I wasn't in love with the colors and the price (Why I took off a star). These were limited and I really hope they make more with better colors. I wouldn't mind paying 18 bucks for better colors. I love that these are non sticky, unlike most of MAC's lipglasses. These are pretty sheer but they look great over lipstick. I like to wear them alone too for a more subtle look, like if I have bold eyes or something and the glosses give a nice shine to the lips. They also have that wonderful MAC glass scent.

I really like this brush. If you have a problem with clumping mascara or your eyelashes sticking together, this is the perfect brush. It seems like an extra step but when it comes to getting the perfect look, it should be worth it. I find this brush gives me perfect, separated and (a bit) longer lashes. You can also put the mascara on the brush and apply it to lashes as a sanitary precaution (working on friends, clients etc.) One hundred times better than your average (or above average) lash comb.

I'm not a fan of proactiv, in fact I argue against using this because it's basically the same ingredients used in drug store facial products. But anyhow, I LOVE this stuff. When I get a pimple, or start to feel one forming, I put some of this on the spot overnight and within the next day or two it's surfaced and ready to come out. It is sulfur based (excellent for pimples) so if you're allergic then it might cause your skin to react. I didn't notice a distinct smell of sulfur when using but then again I have a high scent tolerance. This stuff is great for all the acne prone people out there. I think it's worth a separate buy.

I wouldn't say this product lived up to expectations as a spot treatment. I had a killer pimple that I was trying desperately to get rid of or at least bring to surface. I put this on it for a few days and it did nothing. It eventually surfaced and I squeezed it. However I find that when I squeeze a pimple and get all the good stuff out, I dab some of this on the area and it soothes and heals it completely. It dries the spot up and leaves little to no scarring the next day. So for me, it doesn't work for what it's supposed to (spot treatment) but at least it works for something.

i really wanted to like this product because of the ingredients; they're supposed to help with hyper pigmentation. Natural fruit acids are supposed to be the best for the skin. However my skin didn't like this one. I had a few breakouts so I stopped using it. My advice would be to get a sample before buying. That's what I did so I didn't lose anything. A couple of things I liked though- The smell was nice, and it absorbed really fast and didn't make me greasy(and I have oily skin). So if it doesn't break you out, go for it. It could be perfect for some

This is the best cleanser ever. A couple of times I decided to try another cleanser but I always go back to this. This is PERFECT for acne prone, oily skin. It's the perfect blend of natural ingredients to soothe and heal the skin. I've been battling with adult acne for a little over a year and by faithfully using this (along with the tea tree water, drinking water everyday and regular facials to rid congestion) my skin is clearing beautifully. It can be a little drying so I wouldn't recommend washing with this twice a day. I usually wash with this at night then just rinse my face with water and tone with tea tree water in the morning just to rid of the surface oil accumulated during the night. I do alternate between this and Coal Face by Lush so my skin don't get a tolerance to one product. Again, give it time to work, don't give up if you don't see immediate results. I'm happy to report that I finally found a cleanser that works on acne.

I really like this face wash, though not my favorite by lush it is my number 2( I alternate between this and Fresh Farmacy by Lush). Don't let the color scare you, It really doesn't make your skin black. It makes my skin feel really clean and oil free. This stuff rids of every drop of oil, so you might have to use a moisturizer after depending on your skin type. I don't because I don't want to add more oil to my skin. I think this is one of the best facial cleansers I have ever tried. Way better than drugstore brands and it'snatural. I don't get much of an exfoliating feel from this. I feel a little scrubbing action but don't expect a rough exfoliation. If you have oily, acne prone skin like myself, it's perfect. No acids or chemicals but it does help clear up the skin. You just have to be patient and not expect it to happen over night.

I love this because you can use this anywhere on the body for smooth results. I agree that you have to use it gently on the face because it can irritate this skin and cause breakouts. Add more water to make it less abrasive. My skin feels so soft and smooth after. I also use this on my hands, elbows and feet and it's like magic. I love this stuff. The smell doesn't bother me at all but it could be strong to those with sensitive noses. It smells like a margarita :) I got my friend hooked!
