This mascara does nothing for me. It didn't lengthen, didn't add volume, didn't even add color. To get some volume & color I had to add around 4 coats and even then, there was no false lash effect. I would say this actually gives a more natural look than anything. I also really didn't like this brush because it didn't grab onto my lashes which might have been why I didn't get much of an effect. I will say that it at least isn't clumpy.

I really didn't like the primer that comes with this mascara. It was really hard to completely cover the white whether I applied mascara directly after the primer or if I waited for it to dry. It clumps a bit more than other mascaras I have used- probably because i have to layer on so much to cover the white. There wasn't a whole lot of length added but there was some volume which is what I generally look for. The brush also feels rather cheap & doesn't really grab onto the lashes. On the plus side, it doesn't flake very much throughout the day. I wouldn't repurchase this though just because it isn't really any better than other mascaras out there.

Maybelline New York Lash Stiletto Ultimate Length Washable Mascara
Only for girls that want to add some color
This mascara was a waste for me. It does nothing to add volume and there is hardly any length added no matter how many coats you add. It's not very long lasting and is prone to flaking. I also noticed a weird scent to it which I really didn't like. There is also no "patent, shiny" effect which was the reason I wanted to try this. It does offer a nice black though so if you want a more natural look that involves only some lash darkening, this mascara would be a winner.

This liner is quite good considering the price. It goes on pretty smoothly, blends & smudges well but it isn't very long lasting so if you need your look to last all day and night, this one isn't for you. You get a little longer wear out of it it you dust some shadow that matches the liner over it though.

I find that these polishes are excellent, especially for the price. Alone, they are of course not very long- lasting & might not last a week without some chips but applied properly with a good base and top coat, you get a different story. I didn't really see a streaky, dull look to the dried result as some of the other reviewers even when I used it without any base or top coats. The polish itself was quite smooth but I found that they do dry out a little faster than other brands I have used. This wasn't much of a problem for me though because I usually go through a bottle rather quickly or I get bored of the color.They offer lots of trendy colors at a really cheap price so you can try a bunch of colors without breaking the bank so you can actually try a right-now color without much commitment. All in all, they're fun & while you might want to invest in polishes that are a beauty staple for you, these are great for trying out trendy colors.

MAC lipsticks are a good quality product- they are long-lasting, highly pigmented, creamy, and come in every color under the sun. However, I want to point out that more and more companies are releasing cheaper lipsticks that are also reasonably long lasting and pigmented with a pretty decent array of color choices. While MAC lipsticks aren't terribly expensive, you can save a few bucks by looking at some drug store brands ( ex. Revlon) that are also very good.

Yes, this gloss works great but it's still just clear lip gloss so I can't in my right mind say it's worth what it's sold for. Way to expensive. Other brands might not be as thick or provide the same long- lasting wear that this does, but you essentially get the same product for a fraction of the cost.

While this works better than the Studio Fix foundation, I still feel that this product is really thick. The coverage is good, but this would look a lot better as stage up or photo-shoot make-up than as a day to day look as the thickness of the product really prevents it from giving the illusion of perfect skin. I also found that if I used it too much, my pores ended up clogged. Definitely use this if you are going to be seen in harsh light or taking lots of pictures, but skip it for everyday looks.

The coverage of this product really doesn't do it for me. I have some mild acne scarring on my face that this foundation couldn't even cover and yet, it managed to feel very heavy on me. It almost felt like I was wearing a mask because I had to layer on quite a bit. So considering the yucky feeling of wearing it coupled with poor coverage, it is definitely not worth the price in my book. Even if it had been perfect coverage, I don't think I could have dealt with the texture of this foundation. The best i can compare it to is stage make-up. Since this is a department store brand, if you are curious about trying this foundation then I recommend testing it before purchasing to see how it reacts with your skin.

These eye shadows certainly live up to the hype. What I love most is the abundance of colors and finishes MAC offers; you are sure to find great colors that flatter your skin. They are super long wearing, even without a primer & amazingly pigmented. The only reason I don't rate this a 10 is because honestly, there are lots of other eye shadows that also work really well (though perhaps not as well as these) for a fraction of the price. These are more like splurge items. If you can afford them, go for it since the quality is great and the product is long-lasting, but don't break the bank for them - you can find other eye shadows that deliver on bold, long lasting colors (L'Oreal HIP line & tons of mineral shadow lines like Beauty from the Earth are some examples).
