I have a few colors in this line and I have to say over all I haven't been very impressed by the colors. The polish is cheap ( $3 at Walmart) and the selection is decent ( a lot of different, very pretty colors) to choose from. What I have a problem with is some of the colors are very sheer, requiring 3+ coats to get the color close to the way it looks in the bottle and some colors remain sheer after that many coats. I do have to admit though my favorite glitter polish ( and I have stated in other reviews I normally do not care for glitter polish with big chunks of glitter) I own is 305 Gilded Rose in this line. Its a gold glittery base with rose gold pieces of glitter. To get a good amount of color and glitter I only needed to put 2 coats of polish on. The concept is there, Maybelline offers such beautiful colors in a wide variety, they are easy on the wallet ( as previously stated $3 at Walmart but they can be cheaper depending on the color and where you go) and for the colors that aren't sheer they don't chip easily but the biggest con in my book is the amount of colors that shouldn't be sheer are. I am not opposed to sheer polish by any means but the colors look like they were mixed with too much water. And these colors are vibrant blues and purples and deep reds. I usually see sheer colors in soft, pastels. I will continue to give this line a shot since some of my favorite polishes are by Maybelline but I won't get my hopes too high since the odds aren't too high in finding a good pigmented color in this line. If my thoughts change I wll for sure edit this review though

I cannot say enough good things about this mascara. I naturally have long lashes and this mascara makes them look longer, full and pretty much fake haha. It doesn't clump, lasts all day and the brush separates each eyelash and coats every single lash. Normally I buy drugstore or the travel size mascara but this is the first one I have bought a full size.

I got this in a kit with a face wash, toner and lotion. I LOVE it. I primarily use it for blemishes. I have stubborn blemishes that are so tough to rid myself of and after I started using this product on them the redness disappeared within hours of use. 2 days later they were gone! It doesn't leave my skin feeling tight and dry in the places applied and I have yet to find a single problem with it. It smells so natural and refreshing. The bottle is small and I don't feel embarrassed carrying it around to reapply on stubborn blemishes. It dries quick so its easy to apply to your face before going about your regular makeup routine. I hands down recommend this to anyone!!

Now, this isn't the fastest "tanning" ( I use quotations because I wouldn't call it a self tanner, I would say its more of a skin tint) product but its my favorite one I have tried. My skin is on the pale side and I am not a fan of tanning beds or laying out in the sun for color. I have tried tanning products in the past and the combo of a pale complexion and my skins undertones always leave the products looking fake with an orange hue which is NOT what I (or really anyone) wants. This lotion not only moisturizes your skin but after a few uses it leaves your skin a few shades darker but in a natural glowing way similar to the way a bronzer or highlight works on your face. Although my skin is still on the pale side, it gives the look of a little sun. I also like that it evenly distributes on your skin and is extremely difficult to mess up (I.e. streaks, blotching). This is NOT a product I recommend for a quick color as it took a few applications with the lighter one then moving to the darker one before I got the nice glow I have now. I also want to note that I have psoriasis and was extremely worried it wasn't going to work very well on my elbows where the psoriasis is worst or on the few blotches I have on my legs. I was very pleasantly surprised it didn't matter because it didn't leave any weird discolorations or streaks. Its specially nice in the dry winter climate I live as it doesn't leave people assuming I am using a tanning bed or tanning lotion since its a slight glow.

I am going to start by saying I am almost sure this is the same product I have, just a picture of an old container. What I have is more of a tub then a tube. Anyway, I love tea tree and the healing qualities it has. My skin is combo (crazy oily on the sides of my nose and cheeks but super dry on my forehead and top of nose) so finding masks or face cleansers that don't over dry the dry parts or do nothing for the oily parts is difficult specially with masks but this mask is perfect! For the most part I was gifted with relatively clear skin. I get a few red zits but I get pretty bad black heads on my forehead and my nose. I used this mask once and my skin looked better. I used the mask about twice a week for a month then switched to once a week because my face was so much better. My blackheads almost non existent and I stopped getting the zits. I don't use the mask as much anymore (about once every other week) but my face is still almost clear. I only say almost clear because I still get a few black heads but they aren't nearly as dark, big and the amount has gone substantially down. I have only been able to find this at Ulta and its not too bad of a price at about $10 so if you have more of a problem with blackheads I would most definitely recommend this product over anything else. I also want to add that it smells so good! It smells natural but tea tree has this clean smell like nothing else. It's almost like you instantly feel your pores clean just by smelling it.

I have loved this brands products for a long time, ever since I found it in Target. I absolutely LOVE this duo. Not only are the colors complimentary to each other but they are the perfect duo for contouring. I want to say there are 3 different color duo's to choose from, I would check the website. Either way the colors can work on most skin tones. Also, I love that there is a very subtle, small amount of shimmer to each. The shimmer isn't overkill or extreme. It is the perfect amount to give you a sun kissed glow (bronzer) and rosey glow (blush) to your cheeks. One thing that made me slightly nervous about the brands products is how insanely cheap they are. DON"T BE NERVOUS!!! This duo was $3 at Target and more then worth it. With how great the color is and how well it goes onto the skin it Is surprising it isn't something found at Sephora for $15. I love that it works for contouring. Most bronzers with shimmer don't work because they have too much shimmer but with this I love the look because it almost looks like highlight mixed in. The colors also don't look overly orange/pink, fake or dirty. I never used to wear bronzer or blush and didn't realize how washed out it makes your face look without a small amount of at least blush. This was actually the first product I picked up when I started trying it out. The colors blend very nicely as well so it looks super natural and with the right foundation you can get the no makeup effect. All of this with a $3 duo! I highly recommend not only this product but the full line by the brand in general.

Let me start by saying I love Dove. I use Dove body wash and have tried Dove shampoo and condition which all work wonderfully so when trying to find a leave in conditioner (I ruined my hair and read online that leave in conditioner would help) I came across Dove Oxygen Moisture Leave In Foam. Although leave in conditioner isn't in the name moisture is and that is exactly what I needed. It wasn't expensive (I think about $5 at the drugstore) so I decided to give it a shot. I put it in after my shower and my hair felt no different so I put more in... still didn't feel different. My hair dried and it was still just as awful as before I tried this product. I thought it might take a few uses or need to be put on dry hair so I decided to try it a few more times. Putting it on dry hair just made my hair look oily but still felt like straw (yeah I know contradictive but I swear that is what happened). I tried it after a few more showers and still nothing. I ended up getting better results from the products I had always used and ended up returning the Dove product and finding a much much better product that worked after one use (Healthy Sexy Hair Leave In Conditioner). The other thing I thought was kind of off about the product is the smell, it didn't have much of a smell. I like subtle yet fresh or fruity scents to my shower products... it makes me feel more clean. I also didn't like the foam concept. It felt like it wasn't distributing evenly into my hair and I felt like I was using a lot more of the product then I would with similar products in a cream. It pains me to say that I don't and wont recommend this to anyone.

If your hair isn't in the best shape for whatever reason but you crave shiney, soft, tangle free hair this is exactly what you need. I sort of ruined my hair using a cheap brand of box hair dye I don't normally use (not that any dye is good for your hair but this one was pretty bad) it looked dull and felt like straw plus still had my normal problems (slightly oily at the roots and dry at the ends and it a little frizzy). I had a deluxe sample size of this from a subscription bag I had gotten and decided to give it a shot- man I was so impressed!!!! Not only did it make my hair super shiny but it felt silky smooth and wasn't frizzy ( my hair has always been somewhat frizzy). I also like the smell. It isn't over powering, it's a subtle fresh and natural smell which I love. After the bottle ran out I didn't pick up more for awhile and I was surprised to find that my hair was in drastically better shape then I started with so it actually fixed the straw feel. It isn't the cheapest product by any means ($18 at the drugstore) which made me cringe a little but it could be worse and is well worth the money. I highly recommend picking up at least the deluxe sample size at Ulta or Target ( Its about 6oz I want to say and costs around $7) to try it if not just buying a full bottle because you definitely will not regret the purchase. Before using this product I used a detangler, leave in conditioner, a cream meant to make your hair shiny and a frizz serum but now that I found Healthy Sexy Hair I no longer need any of my old products. I have super thick hair and have used detangler as long as I can remember because of how easily it tangles and how hard it is to comb after a shower and am so surprised I found something this amazing that does such wonders to my hair and works as a detangler.

Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30
Really great product truely leaves the skin radiant
I have some of the most frustrating skin type: I have both oily and dry to the point of flakes skin that breaks out in black heads for what seems like no reason. It is truly frustrating specially because to keep my skin under control I have to use astringent/toner to clean my pores but with that I need moisturizer so my skin doesn't flake its so dry. With that being said I could never find a moisturizer for my face that didn't leave it overly greasy and got rid of the dry flakes. I had almost given up until I found Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer. After using it for a week, there was a very clear difference in my skin. I had a nice, healthy glowy type look and the dry patches in my skin were done flaking and gone. It has a nice, fresh yet subtle scent that isn't over powering which is tough to find in any face product. I like that there is sun protection as well since I tend to burn under my eyes. I have yet to find another face moisturizer that works as well as this product. I cannot live without it.
