I used to love these when I was in grade school; still pick one up every once in awhile. Since they're a tween/kid looking product, they're crazy cheap. They smell great, stay on for awhile, & if you lick your lips, you won't get a yucky flavor. The packaging is still cute too. I don't suggest it for anyone with actual chapped lips though. It simply doesn't have the moisturizing power to heal cracked or chapped lips. It's really better for maintaining your lips or adding shine or color.

The formula of this product is nice. It feels good & looks good on the lips; it seems to moisturize a bit so you won't get a cakey look. The lasting power is pretty good but honestly, drugstore brand lipsticks are putting out some nice long lasting colors out now. The other thing that lowers the rating is a pretty small color selection. I love finding new, interesting colors to play with but there's not much to explore.

Not sure about the hype of this. It works about as well as most powders but it's certainly nothing extraordinary. The I don't notice a huge difference with this.

If you're just looking for a balm, this isn't any better than a drugstore lip balm. I like this more as a lip color. It gives a pretty, sheer finish used a lone & it combines well with other lip products for custom colors. Stay power of the color is also quite good, it's not at all smudgy.

I got a trial sized version of this & wasn't impressed. The wand looked promising at first; it's small and slender so I figured it'd be great for edge and bottom lashes but then I noticed how much product this thing picked up. You get so much mascara on the wand that you have to spend a lot of time cleaning it off to make sure you don't get yucky clumps. In any case, I managed to get this on fine & provided you keep the brush clean, you don't get clumps! But you also don't get much length added which is fine for me since I already have long lashes but I think short lashed gals would be disappointed. You basically get a natural look so I'll stick with something cheaper.

This definitely works, but it's so expensive considering it's doing the same work as a lip balm! It's thicker than most lip balms so you can't really layer it under lip color unless you wait for it to absorb for a few minutes but it's great alone since it leaves lips looking much smoother. I don't really use it because I can't bring myself to spend more than 3 dollars for a lip balm but I have an aunt who swears by it.

This blush gives a very pretty, natural flush to the cheeks. I like it a lot because it isn't insanely shimmery so it flatters almost any skin type but I think it's especially good for anyone with bad/problem skin. I have acne scarring and this doesn't make them stand out like some of the more shimmery blushes do. It also feels nice on & lasts the day. The only reason it doesn't have a 10 is because I found that L'Oreal's mineral blush looks and feels exactly like this for cheaper. If you can splurge though, do so on this.

My favorite thing about this mascara is the brush. It totally eliminates clumps so it's very buildable and the brush is precise enough for me to use on my barely-there bottom lashes without any messy smudges or clumps. I actually saved the brush and cleaned it so I can use it with different brands. The formula itself is alright & it doesn't smudge, flake, or feel heavy, but I definitely favor others more. I have naturally long, curly lashes but hardly any volume so when I look for a keeper in mascaras, I demand tons of volume. This didn't really deliver on that note; there is definitely some added volume, but it looks too natural for me. Lengthening power however, is another story. This mascara probably adds the most length of any mascara I have ever tried. Granted, I have very long lashes, but when I was using this, my lashes could reach to the top of my brows if I curled my lashes and would bat up against my glasses (yes, really) so if you need some (or lots of) length you need this.

This actually works quite well-- it provides medium to heavy coverage & lasts all day for a bargain price. It works as well as more expensive brands. I used it in high school when I had bad break-outs & it covered them without causing more skin issues. I see other reviewers mention that it's time- consuming to apply, but I actually found it was a quick process since you basically can skip concealer & powder with this; it's strong enough to hide all imperfections & once it dries, it has a soft, powdery finish that lasts all day without caking. The only reasons I stopped using it: 1. It has a strong scent, it's not a bad scent but it's strong & I like my make-up scentless. 2. It was heavy which is perfect for anyone that needs a lot of coverage but not so much for me anymore. I haven't really broken out in the past 2-3 years so I opt for lighter, mineral powders now. Definitely use this if you have any skin problems that are hard to cover.

These work fine but the sheets feel a little thin & a bit pricier than other brands. I really prefer rice paper blotters which are usually cheaper & have a little more heft so you can use a sheet without any rips or tears. They also come powdered for extra oil control.
