Frankly this mascara provided neither volume nor length for me. After using it the first time I noticed some flaking after a few hours. The brush is pretty standard and I did actually like that part. It was easy to apply with hardly any clumping

The first time I used one of these I knew it would be my favorite eye shadow product for a very long time. The colors apply beautifully and really do stay all day long without any sort of primer underneath. In fact, they work great as a primer themselves. The colors and pigmentation are absolutely gorgeous. I apply them with my ring finger and just one swipe of my finger in the pot is plenty to cover my whole lid. Something about the way these sit on your lid makes it looks as though you've spend a great amount of effort shading and blending when really you've done hardly anything. My favorite shade is Bad to the Bronze. It's perfect by itself or as a base for smokey shadows. The finish is wonderful also. It's metallic and shimmery but still very wearable and subtle and it makes your eyes really pop. From what I can tell so far, it seems like you get A LOT of product in these little pots and because you only need a small amount I think these will last for a very long time. I've been using mine for over a month now and there's been absolutely no drying at all. The product does not crease or lose pigmentation whatsoever through the whole day, but they're still fairly easy to remove with any old eye makeup remover. The only complaint I have is that the colorful shades are a touch too dark/vibrant for my taste. The neutral shades are great, so I wish they would come out with more slightly muted colors for my very pale skin.

This concealer did not work for me at all. It goes on very thick and oily. Trying to blend it into my skin took way too much work and it got cakey and creased very quickly. I've tried it with multiple setting powders and primers to see if I can make it work and it just doesn't. I got it in the shade DEA, which is slightly too dark for me but maybe I will try it again when I get a bit of a tan. The lightest color went on very yellow and made me look sick. I was so disappointed with this because I generally love Urban Decay products and I went for this because I was tired of trying drug store brand concealers that just weren't cutting it. The only plus for me is that it is VERY high coverage, so sometimes on days when my under eye circles are looking especially horrifying the coverage of this outweighs the problems with the formula...but just barely. Also I do love the clever names for each shade.

Maybelline New York Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Spot Concealer + Treatment
Easy Application, Decent Coverage
I have very fair skin and dark under eye circles. I found that this did a pretty decent job of covering them, but I did need to reapply it through the day, even after setting it with a powder. The formula itself is wonderful. It feels very light on the skin and doesn't cake or crease at all. The best part of this concealer is the application. The little round sponge on the end makes the product glide on so smoothly and makes blending it in so much easier. The size and shape of the brush are ideal for the under eye area. However, this concealer just doesn't provide enough coverage on the days when my under eye circles are the worst.

This is the one of the best drug store brand eye shadows I have ever tried. The colors are highly pigmented, blend very easily and are very long lasting. There is such a wide variety of shades and finishes so you can really play around a lot. You really cannot beat these for the price. I find that I reach for these more than many of my high end shadows.

I am so obsessed with these. They're great as an eye-shadow base and unlike many creamier eye shadow products they last all day and don't crease. They blend beautifully and if you apply shadow over top, the color shows through and creates infinite possibilities. I love using the more colorful ones under neutral toned shadows to give just an underlying hint of color. They're also fantastic by themselves when you're in a hurry. The color range is wonderful. I especially like the color yogurt as a base and milk as a highlighter for my inner corners. And at such a low price you can stock up on many different shades. Also for the longest time I thought you couldn't sharpen them because the stick feels like hard plastic, but thankfully you actually can.

The highlights of this eyeliner for me are the ease of application and the color range available. Like many other gel pencil liners this is very easy to use and can be applied normally for a defined line or smudged out for a smokier look. The color Whiskey is definitely my favorite brown eyeliner I've ever had - it's SO warm and rich. My only issue with these is the price. I get so sucked in to Urban Decay products because I love the packaging and the naming, but honestly I feel like there are eyeliners of equal style and quality for a much better price. In fact, I find that the Rimmel Sandaleyes liners are very similar to these for less than half the price.

I love real techniques brushes and this is the newest addition to my collection. The large size is perfect for powder and creates a very natural, air-brushed finish. The brush is so soft and just feels like it's very high quality. I hardly ever have any bristles fall out on my face while I am applying. The brush picks up just the right amount of product. You just cannot beat the quality of this brush for the price tag.

This is one of the best moisturizers I have ever tried. I put it on every night after my shower and by the next night my skin still feels moisturized. It goes on very light and not at all oily. It absorbs into your skin immediately and goes on so smooth and easily. And a little goes a long way! My skin feels so refreshed after putting it on. A lot of moisturizers I have tried will either make me itchy after a while or need to be reapplied very often. This one seems to last forever and I really get the feeling that it is actually hydrating my skin rather than just temporarily moisturizing. There is hardly any scent at all which is really nice before going to bed because sometimes scented moisturizers can become overpowering when you're trying to fall asleep. I will definitely be replacing this product as soon as I run out.

I seem to be in a small minority here but I just do not like this mascara. I definitely don't understand what all the fuss is about, especially not for the price. Once the mascara is applied, it looks just fine and lasts throughout the day. It maybe lengthens a little bit, but it definitely doesn't do anything to increase the volume of my lashes. My main issue is with application. Though I've tried all different types, I never like using the brushes with the little plastic tips. It always comes out clumpy and unnatural looking on my lashes and I have to spend more time applying for the same effect than I would with one of the old school applicators. I do really love the shape of this brush though. The little ball on the end is ideal for your lower lashes and the harder to reach lashes in the corners of your eye. But overall, I think I can get more length and volume out of my drugstore go to - the Maybelline Great Lash - for a much more reasonable price.
