With my dry ends, thick and somewhat coarse and curly hair, I am no stranger to hair serum! I have tried many of them, including "original" Moroccanoil. At around $25 - $30 it was hardly a bargain. In fact, I ended up tossing it in the ol' graveyard of products that just don't hold up to their claims. This Suave product is different! All I needed was 3 pumps for my thick, long hair, and at $2.99 - $3.99 that is a HUGE difference. I actually started getting compliments on day one; my mom couldn't believe how shiny my hair was. It was also super soft and very manageable. I'm a happy girl! This product is a keeper. :)

The packaging may have changed, but I bought the WNW ColorIcon in Ticket to Brazil. It came in a huge, round compact (about twice the size of a normal compact!) and the color had just the slightest bit of shimmer. I took it with me on my trip to Arizona, and it was beautiful! For less than $3 this was truly a steal! The only caveat; it is not long lasting. I applied in the morning and then had to touch up before dinner. I really didn't mind! But I had to take it down to a 9. I would still buy again!

Maybelline New York Volum' Express The Colossal Cat Eyes Mascara
Gimmicky but good clump free choice!
Maybelline hands down is my favorite mascara brand; I have such good luck with them and this product was no exception! I found the cat eye idea a bit gimmicky. My lashes were long and clump free, but hardly cat like. If you can get past the name and are looking for clump free length with not a lot of volume, this is a great option!

Not that I recommend eating this product LOL, but the smell is like coconut and it has a bit of a sweet flavor! I bought this in "Nice & Natural" when I was doing a "mini-haul" on the ELF website. I get so excited when I find a product I LOVE that doesn't have to cost an arm and two legs. Anywho, I would actually consider this a bit more of a hybrid between a lip balm and a lipstick. The color is absolutely gorg on me and works with pretty much any nudes I decide to wear. It really is lovely, and being that it is ELF, of course, the price is right, too! If you are looking for more moisture, I would use a lip brush to apply, then top it off with a gloss or a dab of vaseline/aquaphor. You will love it. The only thing that would make these even better (and I can't really fault ELF for this) is that it doesn't have a SPF. They do, however, have other lip products that come with a SPF. Unfortunately, all beauty brands are behind with adding SPF to their lip products; I wish SPF was included in all lip products, but I am definitely going to continue wearing this product.

I wish I could share some of the other experiences that you all have! I was super excited when my mom told me about this polish. Not only did they have tons of really pretty colors, but the price was right! The bottle was less than $2. Another thing I really liked about it, was that the bottle was small. I change my mind with nail colors constantly, so I am not as willing to get invested in a pricier polish in a larger bottle. (Have you seen the Cover Girl Outlast mini polishes?? Super cute!) However, within two days, all of my nails were chipped. It was awful. My mom and I went for mother-daughter mani pedis; she with her signature orange polish and mine with a pretty fushia, and though the color stayed on our toes, she also experienced the same issue on our nails. In all honestly, I have not seen a polish (ELF, WNW or NYC) chip so quickly. We used our same favorite top coat that we always have such good luck with, but alas, this was one mani that could not be saved!

I bought this product in Light and I really like it! Except for the fact that I wish I would have purchased this in Medium instead. The color is so pretty and blendable, but it just isn't as pigmented as I would like. It does have the 3 tones so I try to swirl it along the darker side, but still not enough. My skin is far to medium, so maybe the Light color would be best for strictly fair skinned ladies. I would still give it a try! I am going to buy the medium and see if that works better.

I bought this lipliner in Natural as I was trying to dupe MAC's Stripdown. Natural is more pinky, but still a very pretty nude liner. This is yet another good NYX product - I will be trying more NYX products. They seem to come highly recommended and are often compared to higher end brands. I would definitely give it a try.

I bought this in Smokey Plum, which is a cooler shade of purple than I expected. However, the liner itself is good, great even for the price! I experienced good staying power and was able to line my water line with no smudging or issues. For $1, it really can't be beat! If you are looking to spend just a bit more, Rimmel London also makes a really good option.

Concealer is always a must for me, and I have been trying a few different types as of lately, and I found this one to be an average concealer. There was nothing particularly good or bad about it; it is just all around decent and would work in a snap. I would say the coverage is light to medium, the product itself is a little wet feeling, not runny but not thick, and the fragrance is minimal. It does the job and I will finish the tube, but will try something else next time.

I didn't experience what the other reviews did; however, I purchased this product as more of a concealer/highlighter. I also tried the Maybelline Dream Lumi version, which is my favorite, but I didn't have any difficulty with this product. I use an Urban Decay eye primer, so I was specifically using this for my under eye area, bridge of nose, chin, between brows and corner of eyes to highlight. It only comes in one color and I found it to be more of a peachy pink color than a purple, as one reviewer stated. This one is a good, decent concealer/highliter, but there are better "brighteners" out there.
