Picked this one up on the fly and not wanting to spend a ton of money. It was less than $3. I'm a pro at lining and have been doing it since I was 13, so working with the ultra-thin, long brush was fine for me. If you have an unsteady hand or are in a hurry or just not good at lining, skip this. It will only frustrate you. It goes on fine for me, quick, cheap and easy. It also comes off super-easy. The only thing negative I have to say about this liner is that the formula is really, really thin. I have to dab the excess on a tissue before applying because it seems a bit runny. Other than that, it seems to last about 4 hours on me before fading. I'll keep it and use it in a pinch if I need it.

Just bought this in Dreamy ~ a glossy, nude-pink. It goes on smoothly and feels very moisturizing. The only problem is that on my usually dry lips, colors that have even the slightest shimmer end up making my lips flake and peel as the color dries. But this stuff is supposed to be moisturizing and it does go on feeling balm-like. There is a stronger, perfume-y smell to this, but I like the scent. I give this a high rating for the color being true and highly saturated. If I could give a second rating, it would be a three due to the high shimmer of this product. I wish it was more of a matte or buttery finish to it, but I absolutely love the color itself.

Just tried this for the first time today. Used with the shampoo. Amazing! My fine, thin hair is incredibly soft, shiny, smooth and smells beautiful. I keep it in about 4-5 minutes while soaping up, it rinses out easily. My wet hair was tangle-free and my comb fairly glided through it. Abused it with the drier as usual and it still came out smooth and jaw-droppingly soft! I seriously just keep running my hands through my hair, it feels that good. Don't let the word "oil" scare you away ~ your hair comes out fresh and soft and shiny, not limp or oily. This is my new staple. I highly, highly recommend! PS - my male roommate stole my bottle and now he uses it too!

Nice product. I've seen the commercials and needed a new lip balm and decided to get Peach Kiss. It was far more than just a lip balm ~ it's almost a light lipstick. The color is a soft, matte-like nude shade but goes on smooth and feels ultra-moisturising. The only thing I didn't care for was the slight glitter it had ~ why do companies have to put glitter in everything nowadays?! But it is very peach-scented and flavored, so be aware. I did notice that it seems to "coat" my throat and I could definitely feel the effects every time I swallowed. But my lips were left feeling very soft and looking pretty, smooth and plump with a definite nude color, so I really like this overall. Would buy again.

I bought this in Cupa Joe, a nude matte quad that is perfectly pretty for everyday wear. In fact, I've been using this daily since I bought it. True, silky matte eye shadow is almost non-existent in the drugstore and I end up feeling left out as a more mature woman who is over the "glitter" and "shimmer" shadows that tend to dominate drugstore makeup shelves. This shadow is silky and goes on, blends effortlessly. All colors were usable in this quad ~ no more buying four to use only two! Great staying power for me ( I use Revlon Colorstay Pressed Powder as my shadow base) and the color applies true. Love it, love it, love it and will look for more. For a great, inexpensive option to the Nakeds, try Cupa Joe, definitely!

I recently bought this on a whim and fell in love with it. It has the plastic bristles that some people hate, but I love the way the applicator glides through my lashes. This applicator has longer, outwardly curved bristles at the end, which are meant to help facilitate that winged butterfly look to your lashes. This means you have to hold the brush correctly to get the full effect. My thin, sparse, soft black lashes were longer, darker and a bit thicker. Barely any clumps, too! I apply two coats and there definitely was some noticeable length, shape and "swooping" to my lashes at the outer corners. Love this mascara and will buy again!

Needed a fun color that was quick drying and used this for the first time. I bought "Fuschia Flash" ~a gorgeous blue-based fuschia with a slight shimmer that looked stunning in the sun. It dried in under a minute, but even though the color was a slight shimmer/pearl, it dried with a hint of a chalky finish, not truly glossy. The applicator is wide and flat and while I don't like that for applying sheer or lighter colors, for this purpose, it was perfect. Three swipes down my nail and done. And there was really great control with the brush, so no polish straying everywhere. I even did two coats and was done in about four minutes. I didn't have time for a top coat (would've used a quick dry for that, too), so it did chip slightly within about two days. Interested in checking out more colors. Great product when you just want a little color pick-me-up but don't have the time for a full manicure. Oh, and it did stain my nails but that wore off within a day or two.

I'm not sure if I read the directions wrong or if people here are actually writing a review for a different product, but the directions on my bottle, in my hand, say to apply to DRY NAIL POLISH. In other words, this DOES NOT DRY YOUR NAIL COLOR. But it may dry quickly itself. I was looking for a quick dry top coat that dries the nail color and offers top coat protection. I didn't want to have to wait for my nail color to dry. But if this is what you're looking for, this might work. Not for me unless I have the time to wait for my actual nail color to dry. And when I used it, it didn't seem to dry instantly anyway. User error, possibly. Definitely user confusion/misunderstanding as to it's intended use/purpose. I now use the red bottle called Insta-Dri, which is truly amazing.

I've used four boxes of this product because it's CHEAP. So it's a perfect solution for fighting off my fast-growing gray roots on my black hair. Unfortunately, it just doesn't last. I get about a week of color from this and then it just starts washing down the drain more and more with every subsequent shampoo. In the beginning, I used it all over but have since decided to just use it on my roots. It leaves my hair looking dull and dry and "chalky", so I stick to putting it on my roots only. No shine, no softness, nothing really redeeming about this except the price and the fact that it hides my gray hair. I use half of the bottles each time I do a touch-up, making this the all-time cheapest hair color I've ever used ~ averaging around $2 per use. Blondes might have a hard time with this cheap color, but for ladies with black hair with grays, it's worth looking into.

L'Oreal Paris Studio Secrets Professional Color Correcting Primers
The Green One REALLY Cancels The Redness!
I've had this about a year and tried it initially but hated it. I was playing around with what was in my makeup bag and I came back to it a few days ago. What was I thinking to not love this stuff?! My blotchy red, flushed rosacea-prone cheeks were smoothed out, even-toned and matte. The light, liquid-y formula took less than a full pump to blend over and cover my cheeks, around my nose, my chin and forehead. I used my fingers to blend it in well and the redness just disappeared. My skin was left smooth, dry, silky and with NO REDNESS. And stayed gone for hours with my mineral foundation and concealer on my larger spots. So glad I gave it a second chance! The only reason I gave it 9 stars was because it also claims to be a "highlighter", which means some shimmer. Ugh! If I'm trying to correct something, why the heck would I want sparkles all over it? But this ABSOLUTELY works and LASTS ALL DAY. My new must-have product. "Note: I use the green one, not sure about the other ones.*
