I really love this stuff. I've only been using it for a week or so, but already I've noticed my skin is much smoother, softer, my pores look smaller and my blackheads seem to be disappearing. It tingles a bit which may be annoying for some, but I really love it. It makes me feel extremely clean. My skin doesn't seem as oily, and when you follow it with the moisturizer it feels divine. Overall, I'd recommend this.

I love this palette and use it almost every day. The shadows are buttery soft and pigmented, blend nicely and wear all day even without the shadow insurance (which I also love). They really could not make this palette any more idiot proof as the colors are all beautifully matched together. There are both sparkly/shiny colors and matte ones, and despite being matte the shadows still blend nicely and are not chalky at all. I recommend this over the UD Naked Palette simply because it's idiot proof and makes great looks for everyday. If you're looking for a starter palette or an everyday look, definitely look into this. For 9 shadows at $36, it's definitely worth it.

Adorable packaging and the color payoff is pretty nice too. Wear time is about average for a powder blush, and I actually like the included brush. Extra points for the fact that the brush is housed separately beneath the blush. I give this an 8 though because so far I'm not terribly impressed by the color range. I know they're coming out with more for Spring but so far the color options have struck me as a bit "meh"

Maybe I need to try this product again but I'm not loving it. Pros: you get three liners for the price of one, there's an included brush, the colors are beautiful and there are different sets to choose from. Cons: For me the wear time isn't great. To build up the brown color (which is really pretty) to the color intensity I want, it starts to look a little crepey, if that makes sense. I have oily lids and half way through the day I find the color has faded and is a bit patchy. As a contact lens wearer I usually don't have any problems but for some reason this eyeliner can make my eyes really itchy and it seems to get in my eyes a lot. Maybe I need to play around with this some more and try some different brushes, but I'm not totally sold on the wear time or color payoff.

I'm 21 with some acne scars on my cheeks, sensitive skin and large pores. I figured this might help out, and holy cow it's so worth it! You can generally find it under $25 and literally after 2 weeks my scars have faded significantly and my skin feels so soft after I use this. My pores seem tighter, and despite being sensitive this has not aggravated my skin at all. Immediately after use my face is red and a bit tight, but not uncomfortably so, and the redness fades quickly. I cannot recommend this enough, my skin feels brighter, smoother, and my scars are finally fading, even after only 4 uses over 2 weeks.

I'm a really big fan of Bare Minerals foundation, but their eyeshadow, not so much. I find the colors to be pretty sheer, and not that interesting. They're good for a natural, subdued look, but not for me. It's obviously a huge mess, but because it's a powder, I find it's really hard to control how much you get on the brush. With a pan of pressed shadow you can control how much gets on the brush, but with this it's just a big mess. I am not a fan.

It's pretty much all been said, these sheets are soft, big, not too wet, gentle but still effective. The best part though in my opinion is the smell. It's actually quite pleasant unlike most wipes, and there's no residue left on my face. My skin doesn't feel too tight or dry, but it does feel clean and fresh.

Unlike other benzoyl peroxide products I've used (clean and clear persa gel) this is gentle enough for my sensitive skin while not compromising efficacy. While it's true that too thick of an application will leave a white film, the thickness of this product also means that you only need a tiny bit which makes the higher price tag seem more manageable. I tend to get cystic acne, the big, red, painful zits that like to sit right on my cheeks. A dab of this and by the next day it's greatly reduced, and within a few days it's pretty much gone. It also seems to help with the acne scars a bit, which is definitely a plus. I would recommend this for those who are looking for something heavy duty while still gentle enough to avoid additional redness or swelling which can happen with some benzoyl peroxide products.

True to their claims if you take care of them, you can get these strips to last up to 10 days. I got around 8 days of wear with mine and I applied top coat every few days to extend their wear and gloss. These are fun, sassy designs that had people commenting on my nails all the time. If you don't like buffing your nails though, I'd skip these as any tiny ridge or oddity will be painfully obvious with these strips.

While it's true that this tinted moisturizer is a little bit thicker than others, it also provides more coverage which for me is a plus. It offers that natural finish while offering a little bit more coverage. The SPF is a plus, the pump is sanitary and it definitely hydrates my skin. My only gripe is that as a combination/oily skinned gal to really make this look good I have to set it with powder, which of course seems to defeat the purpose of an easy tinted moisturizer. It's a little greasy and definitely has a hint of that sunscreen smell. All things considered though, this is great for a casual, everyday look.
