These are incredibly sheer and moisturizing so don't expect a long wearing lippy with this one. Normally this alone wouldn't get a low rating from me, but if you are investing this much on a lipstick, you probably want it to last longer than just an hour or so. The colors are pretty but if you have issues with fragrance, pass on this one-- it has a very strong, chemical-y fig scent to it.

I use this along with a brow powder to help set it & it lasts all day. It isn't very heavy, not waxy, and super easy to blend so you can get a nice, natural look for your brows as opposed to a drawn on look. As great of a brow pencil I think this is, I'd bet most wouldn't like it for an eyeliner. It doesn't deliver color as well as an eyeliner for some reason unless you use a lot. It doesn't smudge or run but it fades within an hour, even if you set it with a shadow. It may work well as an eyeliner for someone whom is just learning to apply makeup.

My aunt has been using this brand of lipstick for as long as I can remember. She let me test out a color once & I realized why she's been using this stuff for 21 (maybe more?) years. It has really great staying power, especially if you blot and layer. Another big plus is that this is very moisturizing and not too thick so you're lips aren't going to feel chapped later. I've seen this is almost every color so you're sure to find one to suit you. It has a nice color payoff & it's so affordable.

I recieved a sample of this and I loved it. It adds nice volume and length. The brush works well to seperate lashes and prevent clumps and has a bristly tip which helps coat all your lashes. The formula is long lasting as well but can cause your lashes to feel hard.

This lipstick comes in lots of colors and finishes & the packaging is cute. It's super affordable yet lasts a good chunk of the day before you'll need to touch up. The consistency is nice- it's thick enough to be long lasting & deliver good coverage but not so thick as to feel cake-y and uncomfortable to wear. These lipsticks are also very pigmented (especially considering the price) so I don't really need to layer on the product for a good color payoff; I'll need about two coats max if I want an opaque finish.

I absolutely love this body wash! It manages to do a good job of exfoliating, cleansing, and moisturizing. It's gentle enough to use everyday & has a gentle smell that wears off pretty quickly which I love because I like to wear scents & not worry about them clashing with my soap.

I like these because they are so much cheaper than the regular razors and work just as well. The shave is still pretty close 9I still prefer Venus Embrace) & the shave gel bars work ( & last) just as well.They don't last quite as long but you can extend the life by cleaning & drying them after using, applying some baby oil on the blades, & storing in a dry space. I can usually squeeze a few months out of even a disposable razor doing this.

This razor really does give the closest shave ever and I can go around two days without stubble. I'm not sure, but I think the extra blades also prevent nicks & irritation. Since refills are a bit pricey, I extend the life of my razors a lot by making sure to clean & dry the razor after I use it. Then I apply a small amount of baby oil on the blades, & store them in a dry place after using. It takes just a minute & lets me squeeze a few months from a razor. I agree that the replacements are quite pricey, but most refills are more expensive than the original razor anyway so I opt to just buy a whole new razor when in need.

I hate almost every liquid foundation I try. I get oily throughout the day and it makes everything feel heavy & cakey & then I break out. A lot. That being said, this is a liquid foundation that I actually like wearing! They offer my exact color match & awesome coverage so I end up using very little product. You can also build coverage if you need too but it looks natural; it's probably the only liquid I've used where friends and family couldn't tell I was using makeup. While I didn't expect it to last 16 hours on my skin (it didn't) it lasted a lot longer than most liquids on my skin (probably around 10 hours looking fresh) without getting cakey , running, or oxidizing. I'm betting if you don't have really oily skin, it'll stay on 16 hours though. Considering the price I certainly won't complain. I still usually stick with mineral makeup but I'll use this when I need more coverage or if I'm experiencing dry skin.

I've never used this on myself, but I have used this brand on others. I've used the red on my mother who has really oily hair. The end result color was actually quite pretty & not at all brassy though it still wasn't the best. The lasting power was also quite good but as I mentioned, she has very oily hair & needs to wash it daily so the vibrancy of the red could only last so long. It was a bit drying which was fine for her since she has oily hair (was actually a plus for her) but definitely skip this if you have dry, damaged hair and opt for a demi- permanent color instead of permanent. The color won't last as long, but you'll also avoid more damage to distressed locks. Overall, this is fine for trying a new color but if you want to do an at home color that will have the best effect, I say you need to make sure you spend money on the right hair products. Take a trip to the beauty supply store (they sell the stuff used by professionals) to avoid a costly trip to the salon. As a hair-stylist & colorist, I can tell you that it is difficult (& costly) to fix botched box colors & your hair takes a beating in the process.
