When I first saw the commercial on tv for this product I had to buy it. After I purchased it, I ran home to try it and was in love. Because it's a mousse, it goes on beautifully leaving my face looking absolutely flawless. I couldn't be happier!! And at $7.99 a tub, you can't go wrong!! I've been using the same tub for 2 months now and still have a good amount left. If you have oily skin, I don't know how well this will work for you but if you have normal, dry skin you will love this.

I purchased my CHI flat iron last February and have been in love ever since. I have the thickest, curliest hair ever and this iron has cut my straightening time in half!! It's like a miracle worker!! I sometimes wish it had a temperature control dial because it really heats up but other then that I love it. I bought mine at Ulta for $99 on sale and feel it was definitely worth EVERY PENNY!! If you have thick, unruly curly hair, look no further because you MUST buy this straightener!!

I love this brush and literally can't say one bad thing about it! Because of the shape of the bristles, it really is great for blending liner into your lashline, especially when creating the smoky eye look. I haven't had any problems with this brush "shedding" and I've had it for over 2 years now. And even though it goes for $18, it is money well spent!

I absolutely ADORE Bare Escentuals and this is the only foundation I like to use. I bought the All-Over-Face color in Faux Tan for the summertime and Light for the winter. The Faux Tan is the perfect color for my skin tone. I love the size of the container you get and since you don't need to use a lot when you apply it, it really lasts awhile in my make-up bag!!! It's $22 at Ulta and is worth every penny. My face looks soo smooth and flawless when I use this powder. I think everyone should at least buy the Starter Kit so you can see for yourself what a great investment Bare Escentuals is.

I used to use this product religiously in High School. It is a great bronzer for the price you pay (around $2 and some change at most drug stores) and it lasts quite awhile since you don't need a lot to achieve a bronzed look. The only downside I found with it is that it's a little too shimmery for my taste these days. If they sold a separate container without the shimmer factor in it, I would be in love. But I still like using this in moderation during the summer time. It's nice for a shimmery bronzed glow on the apples of your cheeks and I also use it as eyeshadow in the summer.

I have been using St. Ives Apricot Scrub for years and I can't imagine my life without it!! I am an avid tanner so it really helps in sloughing away the dead skin cells due to all the exposure to the sun and tanning beds. It's gentle enough to use every day, and I do use it every day. It's a great product for the price (around $3.50 at most drug stores) and since it doesn't take a lot to achieve results (results being a super-baby soft face!) it lasts quite awhile. I use this on my face and neck and have even tried it out on my legs (since it's good to exfoliate your skin before you shave) and it works wonders! I think everyone should use this product. You won't be disappointed!!

I use Clean Slate every day as part of my daily make-up routine. After I put on either my tinted moisturizer or my Argan Oil, I put this on my skin. It truly does exactly what the name says: Gives your skin a 'Clean Slate'. I don't find it to be oily or greasy in any way, it's just a great product that glides over my skin which creates a beautiful surface for my make-up to be applied on. I first received it as a free sample from Sephora but once I tried it, I was hooked. I'm only 28 years old so I don't have any wrinkles or anything yet (Thank God!!) but if you do, it fills all those imperfections in so that your make-up sits nicely on your skin, giving the illusion that you have perfectly flawless skin. I can't live without this product and you should definitely give it a try if you haven't already!!

This mascara really did deliver like it said. My lashes got a blast of volume!! I have been blessed with naturally long, curly eyelashes but when I use this, I ALWAYS get compliments!! People really think I use fake lashes but the funny part is I haven't the slightest clue as to how to use those!! This mascara is a great buy for the price you pay ($8.39 at most drug-stores). It really works exactly as described in the ads you see. If you don't believe it, try it out for yourself!! The best part is, if you find that it doesn't do anything for you (which I HIGHLY doubt) you can always return it to the drug store you bought it from. Pretty much all drug stores allow you to return make-up products that you have opened, provided you kept the original packaging and receipt. C'mon girls, give it a whirl!!!

Ok Ladies! If you have hair like I mentioned above, ahem, like mine as well, then YOU MUST try this!!! It really is a little miracle worker!! I put it on in the shower and while I'm waiting for it to do its thing, I wash up or shave. As soon as I start to rinse it out I already feel a difference in my hair quality. And sure enough, once I'm done in the shower and either air-dry or blow-dry/straighten my hair, I see just how gorgeous my hair can be! The shine is out-of-this-world and it's soooo soft!!! I have ZERO frizz and ZERO flyaways!! Since you don't have to do it that often, to me it mostly depends on just how fried your hair is, you can either use it once a week or even every other week. If you have naturally awesome hair and just use it as a little oomph then you can probably only use it once a month. It's an amazing product for the price you pay, which is usually around $5 at any drug store. Definitely recommend this to everyone!!

I have tried a few different at-home french manicures and I find this to be the BEST ONE! It's a little tricky to use at first. You have to shake the pen vigorously to ensure that the white is well-blended inside and before using it, press the tip down on the top of the cap. If it looks really watery, continue shaking the pen but if it looks like a creamy, bright white dot, then paint away!!! First I start with one coat of a base followed by a coat of clear polish. Let BOTH DRY COMPLETELY before even attempting to use the pen. Once they've both dried, I usually just follow the natural line of the tip of my nail, going from corner to corner. I let this first application dry completely then layer another coat of clear polish. Once that layer of polish is completely dry, I go back and re-apply the pen to all my nails, going over the lines I just created, and then finishing with the Mega Shine Top Coat. By doing this process that I do, I get a perfect french manicure look for a fraction of the cost that it would take if I went to a salon. The base and clear polish coats that I apply in the beginning give the white polish in the pen something to hold onto besides just my plain nail. And by layering between coats, it ensures that I get a chip-free, locked in look! Hope this helps any of you girls out there who may be skeptical of this product!!! Good Luck!!
