I was really disappointed in this primer. First of all, you don't really get all that much in the bottle. Secondly, when it dried on my eyelids it made them feel tight, as if I had applied some sort of mask to them. It didn't perform well either. By lunchtime my shadow had appeared to have completely migrated to my crease, leaving nothing on the lids or upper eye. I had to do some fast maintenance and reapply my shadow and liner. I love UD's shadows and lip colors, which made the poor performance of this primer that much more disappointing. Not sure what they need to fix, but if they ever do, I would love to give it another try.

I love OPI polish, especially the new lines that come out twice or so each year. Right now I am loving "No Spain, No Gain" which is a pretty dark berry color - perfect for winter. My all time favorite (and my hubby's) is "I'm Not Really A Waitress" which I first saw about ten years ago. This color is the absolute perfect shade of red for anyone! I love that I can get a pedicure and not have to worry about the color coming off in just a day or two. In fact, with just adding a couple of top coats in the first few days after my most recent pedi, my toes looked like they had been just painted even though the pedi was over four weeks old. No chipping or fading or bubbling like other polishes. My only gripe is that I have to order online if I want a decent color selection as only a few of the reds and (of course) the wedding colors are sold locally. The only polish I can think of that I prefer to this one is Chanel, but only if price were not an issue!

I like how refreshed this makes my skin feel, especially after a hot and humid day down here in Georgia. It leaves your skin feeling clean and without a film like some other toners can. It dries quickly so you can follow up with sunscreen and moisturizer and makeup in the morning or the heavy duty stuff at night. The price is really good considering how much you get. This has worked so well that I am tempted to try more products from this line.

I love the smell and texture of this mousse! It actually left my hair soft with volume instead of so crunchy it sounded like chips whenever my hair moved. This product is a major change from most of the mousses on the market today. Great body and bounce with no chemically weird scent or helmet head hold. I use with the fiber product from Sebastian when I need all day and night hold and style.

I have used similar products, but none have worked as well as this (or smelled as good). I hated the other products that would either glue my hair together or would dry so hard that I could use it to chip ice. I love that this leaves my hair touchable instead of breakable. This stuff works wonders for fine and/or thin hair. The best part? It lasts all day, not just until lunchtime and then pfffft...... Just watch how much you put in until you learn the right amount for your hair. What worked with other putties, waxes or pomades doesn't seem to apply here. I can get by with less product but a lot better hold using Sebastian.

I am addicted to this stuff. Just a little bit on any potential trouble spots after washing my face and by the next morning they are gone, gone, gone. I use this with the buffering lotion for the deep down ones, and I haven't had to worry about breakouts in weeks. The products are actually pretty affordable compared to many of the other acne products on the market. I also love the fact that the staff follows up to see if products are working and they help you get the right products for you, not just a prepackaged set that may or may not work out for you.

I purchased a blush from Sephora on my last trip there because it was on clearance. For the two bucks I paid, I figured that if it didn't work it would be no big deal. I am so glad I made this impulse purchase! This has become my favorite blush. It goes on very light and natural looking. It's not shimmery, which is great, but very soft. Just a bit does the trick as it's quite pigmented, but I love how natural it makes my face look! My compact came as part of a blush/bronzer duo, and I love the bronzer as well. Again no shimmer and it makes a great compliment to the blush. I could kick myself for not trying this sooner.

My husband loves this sunscreen. It doesn't run into his eyes or sting, it's not greasy, it dries quickly and it really protects him. He is in the military and does a lot of outdoor work with photography and public events and was constantly getting bad sunburns. Other sport sunscreens made him break out horribly, but not this even after multiple applications. Neutrogena has been a lifesaver.

This cleanser is really thick, almost like a lotion. A little bit goes a long way, so a full pump into your hand is way too much and takes awhile to wash off as it foams up really well. It did pretty good on waterproof mascara, though it did leave some behind and I had to use a separate remover. Completely removed regular mascara and makeup. Smells good and doesn't dry out skin. A bit pricey but you really do get what you pay for here.

Not a bad face cleanser, but I still broke out. I liked the smell (a bit like cucumbers) and refreshing feel, but it didn't keep the acne at bay. Does nothing for cystic acne or blackheads. Might be better for people who only get rare breakouts.
