Pros: It is really long lasting! The nail polish has lasted on my toenails all winter! It doesn't peel or crack like some other polishes. It dries fairly quickly, which is great for someone who is impatient like me. Cons: I bought a few colors and each were a lot more shimmery than shown on the website. I don't know if this applies to the darker colors, but because the quality of the nail polish is so thin, it will take A LOT of layers to get to the shade that is shown on the site. It also feels kind of rough when it dries, but that can be taken care of with a good topcoat. If you're looking for a sheer, shimmery polish, I'd definitely go with ELF!

This product worked better than other at-home wax kits I've tried, but it could be better. I found that it takes a while for it to melt, and it doesn't remove fine hairs. After growing out my leg hairs for weeks and looking like a jungle woman, it only grabbed a few hairs and I just went back to shaving, which was a waste. I did find that it worked pretty well when I waxed my arms the first time around. The second time, either the hairs were still too short (though they look pretty long to me) or they were too fine for the wax to grab, so I ended up with hairless patches here and there and ultimately, gave up again.

I loved this lotion because it did moisturize and the scent wasn't overpowering like some other lotions, but after a few days of using it, my skin felt kind of sticky/greasy/filmy and not natural! It felt as if I had just applied the lotion, even when it had been several hours or even a day after!

Normally I don't spend a lot of money on mascara, since I find that drugstore brands work just fine. Someone got this for me and I tried it -- it didn't WOW me at first, it did what a regular mascara does, but I started to really like it. It wasn't clumpy, and it dried quickly without running or smudging, and as the day went on I liked it even more. It didn't flake and get all in my eyes, and there was still no smudging. If you're looking for something to volumize or lengthen your lashes, this isn't the mascara for you. But if you want a basic mascara that gets the job done (and are willing to pay the price), I'd definitely recommend it.

I have been looking for the perfect lotion - one that's unscented, moisturizing, and not greasy - and this lotion is the one! Even though it's a bit on the pricy side, it's worth it because just a little bit is enough for your whole body! One thing though - it really is for DRY skin. I tried putting on the lotion once right after I got out of the shower - my skin was still a little moist & the lotion just didn't wanna cooperate with me! I haven't had this problem with my previous lotions. But I waited a while after my shower when my skin was completely dry, and had no problem with it. I HIGHLY recommend this!

It leaves my face FEELING clean, but I noticed that when I use a cleansing pad right afterwards, there is still a considerable amount of dirt that comes off on the pad, which my previous face wash did not do.

First -- I love the way it smells, I always get complimented whenever I use this hairspray. It does a great job of volumizing my very fine hair and holding everything in place, but it leaves my hair very dry and stiff feeling, and tangles it up horribly. Plus every once in a while I've gotten the dreaded white flakes that look like horrible dandruff -- not cool.

This is the ONLY eyeliner I will use because it gets the job done for only $2, and there is no need for me to search for and spend more money on another eyeliner when I have found one that is PERFECT. The brush is a bit flimsy, but if you are used to wearing liquid eyeliner, it shouldn't be a problem. It dries quickly, even though I use about two applications to get the intensity that I like. It doesn't smudge or flake and it lasts all day, which means I don't have to worry about reapplying or if one eye is lined while the other isn't. It's waterproof - I have worn it to the pool and to the beach, and I didn't end up with raccoon eyes. Also, it comes off easily. I don't use eye makeup remover because it comes right off with just my regular facial cleanser. No smudges, comes off gently. It saves time AND money!

This is my favorite perfume. I always get complimented and asked what I'm wearing. It has a light, summery, citrusy, happy scent. I wear it in the summer because it's not overpowering, and it's the perfect summer scent. And in the winter, when I'm bummed out by the weather, I spritz it on because it's uplifting and it always brings back summer to me.

As far as the waterproof portion goes, it lives up to its name. I have had cryfests and teary eyes that this mascara outlasted, but as soon as it got in contact with water/tear PLUS something else (a hand, a tissue, etc.) it would come right off. I liked that it didn't smudge off under my eye or flake off as the day went on. I didn't like that it is very clumpy and can make your lashes stick together.
