Okay so I used to use this a lot-- it worked at getting my hair off for a good amount of time & never irritated my skin. I also didn't really mind that it stinks a lot. So why did I stop using it? Well I started going to beauty school & learned this stuff is really bad for your skin. Think about it: your hair & skin are made up of the same thing basically & this contains very strong chemicals meant to dissolve hair. Of course, some people -- me included-- never have a problem but you can actually develop a problem out of nowhere. If you insist on using this, make sure you test it on a small area of your body before a full application like the bottle advises. I actually met a lady who developed severe discoloration on areas she used Nair one day out of the blue after years of using this product without incident. I highly recommend sticking to shaving or waxing over this!

I don't really get the hype on this. This doesn't work much better than some drugstore brands do on me & considering the price, I expected more. The color is nice I will say & if you need lengthening ( & feel like splurging) I would suggest this to you. Volume was the downer for me; I had to put about 3 or 4 coats to get the thickness I like & that's just a bit too heavy for me. I do like the smaller brush though. It makes for a cleaner application on smaller eyes as well as edge & bottom lashes.

I won't mention too much on the actual fragrance; it's very flower & I personally liked it, but I suggest you test it. I received a mini bottle of this (the bottle was so adorable) for free so I can't complain about the cost. I will say that I wouldn't buy this though; considering the retail price I would expect that a bottle would last for a good amount of time. This fragrance fades away so quickly. I have body splashes that last longer than this fragrance.

I really prefer the regular formula to the water-proof version. I feel like it the water-proof incarnation clumps so the volume doesn't look as nice. The brush also seems bigger which is big problem for me because I have sparse, thin lower lashes so if I try to use this brush to coat them, it's a big mess.

I love this scent. I wouldn't get the full sized bottle because I feel like it's silly to spend that much on perfume. I say opt for the smaller sizes. It lasts all day without needing to be reapplied. I purchased the travel size I have yet to finish the bottle even though I've bought it maybe 2 years ago & wear it almost daily. I'm maybe a little more than half way through it. You definitely need to try it on your skin though. the bottle smells a little old lady-ish but it really changes when it mixes with your smell. The scent is very feminine & doesn't feel too young or old when worn. It's a perfect any-time perfume.

I really like this scent, it's very sweet & girly though so I only use a little. I definitely think it's a younger scent (teens & 20s). I also really like the bottle; it looks really pretty on my dresser. I'll probably skip a repurchase though. For the price, I feel that it isn't as long-lasting as it should be; (it certainly doesn't last as long as the Juicy Couture Eau de Parfum which stays on all day). If you like this scent, Bath & Body Works scent Secret Wonderland smells practically identical to it, lasts a long time & is a lot easier on the wallet.

I got a trial size of this liner free when I bought one of the shadows. The staying power is okay; a little smudge-y but I haven't found a pencil liner that doesn't smudge at least a little on me. I wouldn't use this on a regular basis because there's just too much glitter in it for everyday wear (& this comes from a glitter lover); it feels teeny-bopper like. It's cute for a night out or for a costume though.

I usually don't use cream blushes; my skin can get oily & wearing a liquid/cream product just exacerbates the problem but i couldn't resist picking this up when I saw how pretty the color looked in the tube. It definitely doesn't last as long as a powder on me, but it lasts for several hours & the colors are pretty, sheer (maybe too sheer for darker skin), & natural looking. It didn't feel sticky on me at all & was super easy to blend. I use it with a powder blush when I want more dramatic color or better staying power. I have Hot Date & In Love; if you have medium skin tones opt for Hot Date, fairer tones might want to pick up In Love.

I didn't have any problems with chipping but then again, I use a good base coat & top coat whenever I do my nails. I find that that usually helps even bad, cheap polishes stay on. I have this in a hot pink & bright turquoise color & I only need to apply one coat to get a the color on the bottle on my nails and it dries very quickly. I can't say much for the color selection; I grabbed up the last 2 bottles in the store. The adorable little rings it comes with is also a bonus.

Let me start off by saying that this product is not for you if you need to add volume of length-- it says right on the tube that it's just a tint. With that said, it still manages to make eyes stand out because of how much it darkens lashes; the darkening does make lashes look a tiny bit thicker but not by much. It's perfect for the no-makeup look as well those that need some color on their lashes. The formula is very thin, kind of like ink which translated into no clumping or flaking; it feels like you aren't wearing anything. The brush is small & grabs lashes for even tinting. I didn't actually expect it to last 4 days, but low and behold, it did (oh, make sure you don't smudge with this one, it won't come off once dry). I tried to remove it when I was ready for bed but my make-up remover failed, as did a shower and baby-oil. It actually stayed on for around 4 days without damaging my lashes. I also have to mention the value you get from this: you get a huge tube, one application lasts around 4 days, and it cost me about seven dollars.
