Sometimes I have an issue with my lip stick fading too quickly and/or smudging so I was looking for something inexpensive but good to help it last longer. I read some good reviews about this and it was only 3 dollars at target so I snatched it up. The packaging is cute, as usual with Elf's studio line its very sleek and all black. Its light weight and thin so Its easy to take on the go. The pencil itself appears white but goes on clear. When applying, It starts off a little rough but gets smoother as you go, and you are supposed to apply it like a lip liner. It feels like a wax, but its thin and you cant really feel it or see it on your lips. It makes them more smooth, and fills in the lines nicely. When I apply lip stick I definitely notice that it glides on my lips more smoothly and really helps to make them appear almost flawless. I have worn this a few times and it really does help lip stick to last longer, but I wouldn't say it lasts for like a complete day or anything but it does make it last at least a couple hours more then it usually does without this product. If it would last a little longer it would be perfect, but honestly for 3 dollars its pretty darn good.

I use waterproof mascara because its the only one that will hold a curl in my lashes. However, I dread having to take it off at the end of the day so I needed something that would make it easy to take off. I got this because of the reviews and it is pretty good, it is very gentle and soothing as it claims to be. I still have to work a little bit to get all the mascara off, but it does do the job so this is a good product overall.

Not that great, for me at least. They are a bit harsh as they would sting my face a little and they are some what greasy. The smell is nice but just a tad too strong. My face did feel really smooth after using it, and they did a good job taking off most of my make up but not so good at removing waterproof mascara as it claims to do. I really had to rub my eyes to get it off, which irritated them, and even then it didn't take it all off. Also I do have mild break outs, but after using this I noticed I was breaking out a little more. So I just stopped using these, they are just not good for my skin I guess. I ended up buying another brand of make up removing towelettes and they worked better for me.

So my favorite lip balm Blistex silk and shine had finished and I went to get some more. I was actually just going to get the same one but near the Blistex I saw this odd looking one that stood out from all the other lip balms there because its shaped like a ball. I had never noticed these before and I was curious about it because of the packaging and it says that its organic. So I quickly pulled out my phone to look at some reviews because I didn't want to waste my money. Pretty much all the reviews I read on this were good ones so I got it. I couldn't wait to try it as soon as I got in the car I opened it and first thing I noticed when I applied it was the smell, I got the summer fruit one and It did smell really nice and sweet. Then as I applied I noticed how smoothly it went on, and that it wasn't real thick or waxy or anything like that it really felt nice. Its not really shiny its real subtle, you really cant tell that I have something on but that's fine because I just wanted something to moisturize and when I have it on, my lips just look very natural and healthy. My lips are not severely chapped just a little bit chapped but as soon as I applied it I noticed how soft and smooth they looked. I usually put this on at night or when I'm not going out anywhere special because when I'm out I usually like to wear some lipstick or gloss, but wearing this at night has really made a difference. My lips really feel a lot more smooth and they are not chapped anymore. The packaging is also really cute and fun, its what caught my eye because its different and its small enough to fit in my purse to take it with me if I need to. I got this for about 3 dollars at Walmart so its inexpensive and I cant wait to try some other scents that they have!

For over a year I had been using Shick Quattro and I liked it but I decided I was ready to try something new. I have heard good things about the Venus razors and now I see why. The five blades allow for a nice close shave, and the glide enhancers give such a smooth shave that I even tried it without any cream and it still shaved smoothly! The actual head of this razor is very flexible and moves around any curves or corners nicely for a great close shave even in hard spots. Another great thing I noticed about these is that the back of the blades is open to be able to clean easily, all I have to do is let the run on the back of the blades and everything easily gets washed out, that's wonderful to me because usually my complaint about razors is that they are hard to clean when stuff gets stuck under the blades and there's no way to clean it from the back or anything. It has a nice grip, the packaging is cute and colorful and its also inexpensive, I got these at target for 7 something. Overall great product and will continue to buy!

The mini brush is very cute, and makes it easy to apply to all the lashes. The formula is ok though, it doesn't clump which is great, but doesn't do a whole lot to my lashes. It adds very minimal volume for me. If you have naturally thick lashes and just want something to slightly enhance them then this would be great for you. My lashes are not too long or short, kinda in the middle, but they are thin so I do like some more volume then this mascara gives me. One good thing though is that it is very waterproof, I had no problems with it smudging all day. so I mainly just use this on my bottom lashes because of the tiny brush.

This Is my first time trying an Almay eyeliner, and I'm very pleased. I have brown eyes so I got the Purple amethyst color and It really is a pretty color that goes nicely with brown eyes. Its smooth and easy to apply, though not so much for a winged out look because its not pointy enough but it is possible to do it just takes a little work. I wore this all day in the heat and it did fade a little so Its not very long lasting. It didn't smudge or anything, it just faded. But overall it is a good eyeliner, the color is very pigmented and it also has a sharpener at the end which is convenient. Its not expensive either I got mine at target for 5 dollars. I took off 2 stars just because It didn't last all day.

I had gotten this after seeing it in a commercial. I used It for about a month and didn't see any difference. The roller feels nice and cool and it feels like its giving my eye a message, but other then that it didn't work at all for the puffiness. I hate throwing stuff away like that, so it sat in my drawer for the longest time until I Finally got tired of seeing it there and decided to throw it in the garage. I might as well have thrown away the money that I spent on it.

My mom got me this eye liner (she gets me all kinds of different makeup and perfumes for my birthdays and Christmas because she knows I love it all!) and anyways It really wasn't bad. It has good staying power, the color is rich and they last me a long time too. Not the smoothest eye liner I have used but its not that bad at all. The little sharpener at the end comes in handy too If you need it a little more sharp for a more precise line. I got this as a gift but I have seen it in drugstores for about 5-6 dollars so its inexpensive too.

I have had itchy and dry scalp ever since I was a little girl, and the head and shoulder shampoos work great. As long as I am using them my scalp is no longer itchy or dry which means no more flakes! This particular shampoo Is really good because my hair is pretty lifeless and has little volume, but this shampoo leaves my hair soft and gives it some lift. The smell is great too. I like this one and the other purple one that helps give volume to my hair.
