I finally gave in to the Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray! It took me some time to figure out how to use it properly.. but when I did, I loved how my hair looked. It gave my hair natural waves and texture, almost like a rolled out of bed type of look, but with some structure. It doesn't make my hair feel crunchy at all, but it gives it a nice texture. It literally feels like I just stepped out of the ocean and let my hair dry naturally. I use this on damp hair first, and then I blow dry it a little. Then I scrunch scrunch scrunch all over until I get enough volume and waves. Spray a little more afterwards and then let it air dry. Wallah! Perfect beach hair! A bit higher price range, but I think it's one of those must haves for Summer. Also, you don't have to use too much. If you use to much, it does start to get that crunchy feel.

Diorshow is one of my all time favorite mascaras, and probably will be for the next half of my life. Extase isn't as dry of a formula as Diorshow, so it doesn't volumize as much, but it does give lashes length and curl. When layering, it does tend to get clumpy. I usually apply two coats of mascara for my thin and short lashes, but when applying the second coat with Extase, I have to separate my lashes individually, which is a pain! However, the results are great! You end up with perfectly curled and defined longer lashes. The brush isn't as big as Diorshow, which I like better actually. Price point is very high. I would recommend this product if you have thicker lashes and just want more volume and curl.

This mascara is great for getting a natural curl and definition. It lasts extremely long, like it would last you a lifetime if you never washed your face kind of long. Which I actually find is one of the downsides of it. My lashes are very thin and delicate so they are easily pulled out if I rub them. I love the look it gives my lashes. It helps to fan them out evenly and define every lash, as well as volumize, very dramatic. My problem is when I have to take it off, it takes me sooo long to get it all off. If I take it off at night, I will wake up in the morning with mascara smeared beneath my eye. And since it is waterproof, its very hard to come off. I am thinking of trying the regular version instead of using wp, just because its a lot of strain on the skin underneath my eye. Don't want to get any wrinkles! Amazing price though for the gorgeous lashes you will acheive with this mascara =)

I've always had problems finding mascaras that will work for me, and this one definitely hit it spot on! My lashes are pretty short and thin, so I need a mascara that will lengthen, volumize and certainly not clump. I have sensitive eyes so sometimes mascaras will really bother my eyes throughout the day and I come home with blood shot eyes.. wah.. But anyways, this mascara isn't clumpy, it really volumizes and defines each lash, and it stays throughout the day without any smearing. The brush is a bristle brush but it isnt too large so I don't get it all over my eyelid. When I take my eye makeup off, it comes off very easily and doesnt cause my lashes to get clumped together and get pulled out. Only downfall is the price. Very expensive for a product you have to purchase every 2-3 months. But if its the only mascara you will be using for the rest of your life, I say go for it! Highly recommend if you want length, volume, and definition without smearing or clumpiness.

This was my first time trying any Tocca product, and it was an impulse buy for me. I originally went to Sephora to get the Coach Poppy rollerball duo, but instead I fell in love with the Tocca 'Giulietta' scent. It smells so elegant, and sophisticated, like I should be sipping a cup of tea in an upscale cafe in Paris. The scent will last all day! The packaging is so pretty and perfectly emulates what is inside. Very fancy and regal. Great for traveling with or toting it around in your purse or clutch. Highly recommend.

I am a huge fan of Marc Jacob fragrances. The packaging is always so gorgeous, and I haven't had a Marc Jacob fragrance that disappointed me so far *cross my fingers*. I do love rollerballs just because they are easy to travel with and to just drop in your purse. They are also great for getting the fragrance right on your pulse points unlike a spray. But.. there is a but.. This particular rollerball doesn't last very long. When I use a fragrance, I usually just put it on in the morning and it will stay with me throughout an entire workday. This one, I have to reapply after about 4-5 hrs. Love the scent though, it really is a fresh, floral smell. Great for Spring or Summer. Price point is average, but I think I would opt for the spray bottle instead of the rollerball.

I was hesitant to try this lip butter at first just because I don't really care for the packaging, but I went ahead and got 'Juicy Papaya' because I've been hearing so many great things about this particular color, I just had to see for myself what the big deal was. Oh my.. what a gorgeous color! I got it this Summer and it was so perfect! It has a sheer finish, and it moisturizes great! The application is very smooth so it doesn't feel like you have anything on your lips. Lasts average about 6-8 hrs depending on how much you drink and eat between that time. For me, I still have some color after lunch time. The smell of this lip butter reminds me of the beach.. a coconut and shea butter type of smell which I loooove! Great product, highly recommend. I will be picking up more colors very soon!

I am so surprised that this product has a average-low rating! The first tube I picked up was 'L*st for Blush' and I instantly fell in love. These lipstick do have a sheer finish, so if you are looking for a lipstick that will pack a lot of color, this isn't the product for you. I actually love how the brighter colors go on softly so it looks more like a natural flush. I have 7 of the colors, and I use all of them in rotation, depending on my mood =) The price point is great, $8 each at CVS, the packaging is super pretty, the finish is a sheer with some shine, and it moisturizes. Only problem for me is that it will last about 4-5 hrs. Its not a long lasting lipstick, which doesn't bother me, but overall, the look and feel of this product is amazing! My top favorites are: 'Mocha Muse', 'Petal Rebel' and 'Pink Possibilities'.

I thought this liner would be great for lining my waterline but it wasnt too creamy so it would tug a bit and I had to apply a few swipes to get the color to really show up! I only use this one a couple times and now it just sits in my makeup case. Could be better..

These are just ok glosses, I think for the price, they are not worth it. I do like that they arent very sticky and they give pretty good color. Great over any lipstick or even by itself. The ones with shimmer in it will leave a shimmery residue after though. Lasts a good amount of time, I would say without eating and drinking it would last 4-5 hours.
