I use this every day under my makeup. I have normal clear skin, but it tends to get a little dry in the winter. This moisturizer is great for winter months, but light enough to use in the summer too. It doesn't feel heavy, and absorbs into the skin very quickly. I like that it creates a smooth base for my foundation. On my second bottle, and would purchase again.

At first I hated this pencil. I bought it in the white, thinking that it had a metallic sheen and would come out on my eye as more of a silver color (the way it looked on my hand in the store). It didn't really show up on my eye at all. Not only was it not silvery, like I expected, but it wasn't even white--it wasn't anything! I could barely see it. So that was a huge upset. I was reluctant to try the pencil out again, but caved and bought one--this time in the green. I was so pleasantly surprised! It deposits a great deal of color, and it's very noticeable, unlike the white. All in all, I'd recommend the brighter pencils of this line (like the green, royal blue, etc) but not the lighter colors such as pink or white.

I really like this hair spray, and use it every day. I have the aerosol version, and find that it distributes a thin enough mist that it's not caking onto my hair. The hold is pretty strong, and only need to touch up once throughout the day, twice if I need it to last through the night. All in all, good for the price.

I have long, straight, thick hair. I try to curl it with an iron, and it just takes forever to get all of my hair done (45ish minutes). Even then, the curls end up looking overly structured--beauty pageant style. Not natural at all. It doesn't help that I have to spray the curls a TON to keep them in shape. I bought these rollers, thinking that they probably would only curl the ends, since my hair is so long. What an amazing surprise when they actually delivered! When I use these curlers, I have amazing, sexy, Victoria's Secret model curls/waves. The waves look pretty natural, too, since they're looser and more free-flowing than when I use an iron. The rollers are very easy to use and heat up so fast. It says that they take 5 minutes to heat up in the directions, but I allow them to sit for about 15 before I put them in--they do get hotter the longer you leave them heating up (sounds obvious, but you never know). I love that the rollers are all jumbo sized, since I have a lot of hair and need the biggest rollers possible. The small ones just don't get around my hair enough to heat it. Basically, I'm in love with this set and use it all the time--and get a ton of compliments!

I used to work at a beauty supply and makeup store, and let me tell you--this is the most oversold, overrated foundation ever. Let me tell you why. When you come into the store, and try on the makeup, granted it does look great. Many of the foundations have a great yellow undertone, that you don't get with a lot of other foundations (that sometimes sway over to the pinker tones). Also it is so easy to blend, that most people, however inexperienced, will be able to make their skin look great with a good coverage foundation. So yes, when you put it on, you look good AND (added bonus!) you feel like you're doing your skin a favor by using something that is so natural. So 9 times out of 10, the customer will buy it. This is where the positivity ends. I don't know if it's just me, or because I happen to touch my face a lot throughout the day (do I?) but this foundation comes off within two hours. This, to me, is the worst thing a foundation could do! Also, if you buff too much, which I've seen people do, it makes your face look almost shiny. I really don't know what all the hype is about with this makeup.

I've always wanted to try one of those mascaras with the elongating fibers in it--NYX Doll Eye Mascara is the first of that type that I have ever tried. It didn't disappoint on it's promise to lengthen. My lashes were definitely longer after using it, but not that much fuller. I'm a volume gal, so although this did make my lashes a bit longer, I don't think I'll be buying this one again.

I have pretty good skin to begin with, and I rarely have a pimple, so really all I needed was something to cover the blood vessels on my nose, and a little bit of redness on my cheeks. This foundation evened out all of these little imperfections without making it look like I had a mask on. The coverage is light-medium, so that was perfect for my needs. Goes on light, and stays for a long time, even though I touch my face a lot throughout the day. All in all, very good, light coverage that makes my skin glow and look even throughout the day. I removed one star for being a little pricey for a drugstore brand.

I have this in "In the Mix" and it's not only sweet-smelling and tasting, but is a light light pink gloss. Don't get this if you want a lot of color--it's very sheer. Great alone or over lipstick.

There is nothing good about this liner. I was hoping to get a line of bright silver glitter for New Year's Eve a la Urban Decay, but what I got was a totally invisible line of wetness that dried into nothing after a few minutes. I didn't realize that this "Piiink" line is for younger girls when I purchased it on sale at sephora.com, and therefore didn't realize that most of the products are light or nonexistent in color and effect. Thank God I only spent two dollars on this thing. It's awful.

I don't have frizz-prone hair, but when I permed my straight hair for a change, I bought this product on the recommendation of a friend. I use this when I want to do my hair wavy, or straight, and works like a charm both times. It's heavy enough to the job, but light enough that it doesn't weigh down my hair. I'm on my third bottle!
