I've never been one to invest in high end hair care products. I usually buy drugstore shampoos/conditioners, and they get the job done. However, I feel no guilt splurging on a bottle of Gloss Drops. If you have super thick, frizz prone hair like me, look no further. After I blow dry and straighten my hair, I just add two pumps of this to my hands, rub them together, and work it through my hair. It leaves my hair sleek and shiny, and smells wonderful. My only complaint is that it leaves your hands a bit greasy, even after rinsing with warm water.

Hands down, the best eyeshadow on the market. They have a wide variety of colors and finishes. All of the shades are super pigmented. I've fallen asleep with these eyeshadows on before (bad, I know) and woken up with in-tact makeup! If I had to recommend one shade, it would be Sin. It's a silky soft neutral that's easy to wear. Whenever I introduce a friend or family member to UD shadows, they end up addicted! I can't rave enough.

I was totally shocked by these shadows. I'm a shadow snob, and I tend to be very weary of drugstore eyeshadow. These incredibly buttery, soft and pigmented. I have the trio that is pictured above (Nude/Taupe/Dark Brown) and they work beautifully together. They blend seamlessly, especially the lightest shade, which is very surprising. Other colors similar to the nude one are usually sheer or powdery; this one is neither. Lasts all day and longer with a primer. Great price for amazing shadows!

Lovely colors, and great, buildable pigmentation. It blends beautifully over liquid or powder foundation, or even bare skin. And you really can't beat the price! $10 for a blush that melts into skin and lasts all day? I'll be picking up the one I own again when I run out, and possibly more!

I put this on under polish, and the WHOLE nail worth of polish slipped--not chipped--right off of my nail! I figured something went wrong, so I redid the nail with the basecoat. And it happened again! I've heard so many great things about Orly, so I'm shocked at how god awful this product is.

I bought this in Rhett and Scarlet. One end is a sparkly sheer gold, and the other is a vibrant red. Both are non-sticky, and the gloss stays on for about 2 hours. However, with the red shade, the color disappeared in less than an hour! I hadn't eaten or drank anything. I've never had color that was so deep disappear so quickly. It's an okay gloss, but I definitely won't be buying it again.

Years ago, when I first tried Bare Escentuals, I hated it so much I swore off mineral makeup. But then I saw this, and I wanted something light to set my makeup, and decided to brave it. And boy, am I glad I did! It feels so soft and smooth, and doesn't make my dry skin feel tight. When applied over tinted moisturizer or foundation, it makes my skin look airbrushed and absolutely perfect. And shockingly, the attached puff isn't totally useless, and it makes this very mess-free and portable. I'd be lost without this makeup.

I love this concealer. It really does its job, and it's very versatile. Covers everything spectacularly from dark circles to "love nips". I have a light/medium skin tone, and bought this in DEA. At first I was upset, and thought it was a mistake, because it looked SO light; then I learned you're SUPPOSED to buy concealer 1-2 shades lighter than your skin tone! It's very blendable, and lasts all day. My only problem was that it caked a bit around the corners of my nose.

This is great if you want a sheer color to even out your skin tone in the summer. It's light and blends easily, and looks absolutely flawless if you set it with powder. Also, if you have dry skin like I do, this could be very helpful. I usually NEVER set my makeup with powder, because it makes me skin feel tight. I never have that problem with this. My only gripe is the packaging; the pump is hard to control at times, and you can't tell if you're running low on product. Either way, very nice tinted moisturizer.

This is hands down the best eyeshadow primer. It makes eyeshadow twice as vibrant, and has some serious lasting power. There have been days where I've put this under my eyeshadow before leaving for an early morning class, then (yes, I know this is bad) fall asleep without washing it off, and my eyeshadow STILL looks good the next morning! On top of that, it makes blending a cinch, and it's completely colorless. Worth every penny.
