Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 45
Great non-greasy sunscreen formula!
I was sent this product for free by Neutrogena to test for a market research study. I have to say that I was very impressed! You don't need a whole ton to provide even coverage and it goes on dry; it's not greasy at all! I hate how most sunscreens are really greasy and make you feel gross when you apply a whole ton of it. This product doesn't do that at all and it feels like there's nothing on after you apply it. It provides great sun protection and the smell is light and refreshing. I will be buying this when I run out. I definitely recommend it!

I bought this lipstick when there was a 40% off sale at CVS a few weeks ago. I really love the shade "Airy Fairy." It's a beautiful neutral pink/nude color on my lips. I'm not super keen on the smell (it's kind of spice-scented), but it's very pretty on my lips and doesn't dry them out. I will probably buy this again.

I read lots of reviews praising this mascara, so I bought it at Riteaid during a BOGO sale. I haven't worn mascara since probably middle school or high school (I'm in my twenties now), so I wasn't very sure what to get. My lashes are pretty long and curled, so I just wanted something to make them darker and stand out more. This product works great for that. It doesn't clump or smudge easily, which I really like, and it is pretty waterproof. my only issue with it is that sometimes I look like a raccoon at the end of the day due to the oils on my face smearing it, but this is easily remedied with some makeup remover if I have it on hand. All in all, I'm very satisfied with this mascara and will probably repurchase. Highly recommended.

This is actually my first department store make-up purchase. I bought this because I read reviews online saying how great this concealer was for covering up moles or freckles. I have a lot of moles on my pale face (sadly, it's genetic), so I use this once in a while to cover them up. It's not perfect, but it does a decent job to lighten them and make them less conspicuous. I also use it on my dark under-eye circles. I know some people complain that it's not good for that area because it tends to accentuate under-eye wrinkles, but if you apply it carefully, it works wonders. The SPF is an added benefit, too. I will probably repurchase even though the price is a bit high for what you get (and I'm used to buying cheap drugstore makeup, which, in my opinion, can be just as good sometimes). Being a poor college student is no fun since I can't afford a lot of department store cosmetics. I'm very happy with this product for now, though, and recommend to anyone who wants a great concealer for moles or under-eye circles.

This product was recommended to me and after reading reviews online, I decided to try it. I'm not very good at eyeshadow and I'm kind of new to it, but this product helped me a lot. I have brown eyes and I love the color selection for them. I put the colors on exactly as directed with eyeliner and it makes my eyes pop, which I love. I always get compliments when wearing this shadow. The only things I have an issue with are the purple color, which isn't very pigmented, and the case, which can be hard to open at times. Other than that, I love this product and will probably continue to buy it.

I've used this powder on and off for a few years now. I have pale skin, so I use Ivory and sometimes Natural Ivory in the summer (I tend not to tan very much). I keep one in my purse for touch-ups during the day and one on my bathroom counter to set my liquid foundation after I'm done applying it. I don't find it chalky and it provides pretty good coverage. I can't afford really expensive department store powder, so this fits my needs very well because it is inexpensive and works well. I also like that there's no fragrance because I generally do not like the fragrance of most powder.

This is actually my first lipgloss. I never used to wear gloss because I've always been a big fan of lipstick. However, my boyfriend seems to hate whenever I wear lipstick because he likes my natural lipcolor, so I decided to try gloss, which he actually really loves on me. I read reviews online and decided to try this product. I got Raspberry Splash, which I really love. The color is not too dark and is actually pretty subtle on my lips. It matches my natural lip color pretty well and makes my lips nice and glossy. I also love the smell; it's not quite raspberry, but it is very fruity. My main issue is that this gloss does not last long at all. Once you drink or eat something, it's gone and you have to reapply. I don't mind that too much, but it can get annoying after a while. I will probably buy this again, but I will also be looking for something that lasts a little longer and that has moisturizing benefits. For now, though, this fits my needs quite well.

I received this lipstain to test for a market research study at BzzAgent. I have to say I wasn't very impressed. The color I got, Flirty Nude, does not look nude at all; it's bright red-orange on my lips! Perhaps I just got the wrong color, but the color isn't the only problem. This lipstain dries out my lips and makes them chapped after wearing it most of my day. I rarely have this problem with lipsticks. Perhaps I just need to put gloss over it, but even so, it really dries my lips out. Plus, this really isn't long-lasting; from my experience, the lipstain easily wears off after eating or drinking and probably stays on for an hour or two at the most. The only things I do like about this product is the fruity smell and the fact that it feels like I'm not wearing anything on my lips when I have it on. I probably won't be trying this again due to the limited color choices and the dryness it causes my lips.

I really like this blush. The color I have (Rose Silk) accentuates my cheeks very well. It's close to the natural shade of my skin when I get flushed, so it's perfect for my skin to add more color to my cheeks after I apply my foundation. It stays on pretty well, too. I can't afford really expensive department store blush, so this suits me just fine. Will buy again.

I actually really like this lipstick, but it can be hard to find the right color in my experience. It took me about 3-4 purchases to find colors that suited my lips and weren't really bright or too warm for me. My skin is pale and cool-toned and I found a lot of the colors to be too bright or too warm on me. I tried Natural Frost, which looked nude and pretty pink from the color of the tube and what was on the packaging, but it was way too bright and orange-ish for my lips. I also tried Smokey Rose, which wasn't smokey at all and was bright 80's pink on me. The color that I do absolutely love is Rose Quartz. It's perfect for my lips and is only about a shade darker than my natural lip color. It's not bright at all and I always get compliments when I'm wearing it. I love the shimmer. Very pretty pink color for the summer. I also like Iceblue Pink, but not as much as Rose Quartz. Besides the color issues I've had, I do love how moisturizing this lipstick is on my lips. It also has Vitamin A and E for an added benefit. It lasts a few hours longer than my other lipsticks, which is good, but once you eat or drink something, it's pretty much gone. I will definitely be buying Rose Quartz again since I love that color so much.
