I cannot believe how easy to apply this eye pencil is! It's so soft it just glides on with absolutely no tugging or skipping. With this consistency you'd think it wouldn't last the day, but you'd be wrong. It lasts for several hours yet comes off easily with makeup remover. I got one of the blues and the gold to add a little touch of color to my normally dark eye liners. Though they are bright, the colors are very wearable without looking freaky.

Don't spend five bucks on a curler that won't reach every lash, pinch your eyelid, or fall apart after only a couple months of use. This eyelash curler is nothing short of amazing. It gets even the smallest lashes in the corners of your eyes without any pinching, pulling or tugging. It never fails to get in close to deliver great curl and lift for lashes. It's also easy to clean and replace the pads.

For 1/10 the price this brush works just as well as the famed Clarisonic. I do wish they had additional types of brushes like Clarisonic offers, but the ones they do offer are very nice. I love that there is no rechargable battery or plug in cord with this. I am able to use our regular (and rechargeable) AA Energizer batteries. I thought for the price it wouldn't hurt to try this new brush from Olay, and I am never going back! I can use any cleanser I like with this, and the brushes are easily and cheaply replaced every three months. I even got one for my husband and it has drastically cut down on ingrown hairs on his neck and chin from shaving every day. If you have ever considered a Clarisonic but balked at the price, this Olay brush is an amazing deal for $20.00 at your local Target.

I received this as part of a prize pack, and was a bit apprehensive about trying it. I'm not a big bronzer fan, as many out there are way too dark for me. So it ends up being a real adventure to find one that looks remotely natural. I have to admit, this one I received (in "Shimmered Up" I think), was a really nice surprise. Not only was it natural looking, it wasn't as shimmery as the name implied. It was also a breeze to blend. I love the bullseye design, and it's easy to only pick up the color(s) you want, or blend all three. I hope that this one sticks around mark for awhile, as this will be a definite future purchase for me.

Ugh! Talk about a disappointment. Further proof that Revlon doctors up their ads is this little disaster in a tube. No matter how I angled the brush, this mascra just would not apply to my lashes. Maybe it's the design of the brush, but I was barely able to put on this product. Part of that was because the brush is painfull to use - the crazy bristles end up poking into the eyelid. What did adhere promptly melted off - and I tried the waterproof version. Mascara has to be my favorite beauty product to try, and out of the dozens and dozens that have crossed my bathroom counter, this has got to be THE WORST.

This didn't turn out like I thought it would. Maybe it's because of my really fair skin, but it seems to give my skin more shimmer than brightening. As long as I combine it with a little tiny dusting of Hoola, it seems to do a much better job. The shimmer is toned down and my complexion is really perked up. Others that mention this works great as a blush are right. It's a perfect shade for the workplace. No worries about going overboard with this. And it has such a nice scent! I would love it if Benefit were to make a purse sized version of this.

This will give any fair skinned gal the perfect shade of pink cheeks. It does look a bit hot pinkish just out of the bottle, but after blending it becomes a much subtler pink. Works well with a light bronzer in the summertime to give cheeks that been outside all day look. If you are looking for something bolder or have a darker skin tone, Benetint would be your best bet.

This is really a great mascara for anyone with short, thin lashes. The brush applies mascara evenly and without clumps - something half the mascaras on the market can't do. With just a couple of coats my sparse lashes look longer and thicker. But, this is something that several drug store mascaras can also do, and do it cheaper. A good comparison is Rimmel, or even Full n' Soft by Maybelline. If you have the extra cash, give this a try. Otherwise, $18.00 is too much.

Great concealor - no other way to describe it. It blends well, has a wonderfully creamy texture, doesn't feel like spackle on your skin, and never looks cakey. This one is best applied with a brush so you can get it into every little area around your eyes. Which, by the way, this makes look so go you could just put on some mascara and go. It's not as heavy or opaque as Benefit Boi-ing, but it does a pretty good job of covering up breakouts or other areas of redness. If Benefit could somehow make this into a portable pen like product like YSL Touche Eclat, I would be in heaven.

This is a majorly heavy duty industrial concealor. It works on just about everything from dark circles to pimples and actually STAYS where you put it. No need to worry about sweating it off or it wearing off during the day. The only problem with this is that it only comes in three shades - light, medium, dark. The light isn't exaclty that light. If you are fair skinned, you will really need to blend this in well or else it's a bit visible against your skin tone. I have to use a damp sponge to really blend it well with my foundation, so it adds on extra time getting ready. Still, it's one item I have to have in my makeup bag.
