I work at Victoria's Secret and always find myself reapplying this when I'm working. It really does moisturize, while still leaving a little shine and minty-ness. It also comes with a hint of sparkle, which I absolutely love. It's both functional and pretty. The packaging is adorable, and the tin is really big, so it lasts a long time. I would definitely recommend this, and not just because I'm an employee.

This is one of my favorite glosses. It smells nice, is super shiny, and has nice staying power. Some people say it's too goopy, but I like the thick consistency. There's a wide range of flavors and colors, and it's a great deal, 6 for $20? Yes, please!

I love this stuff! It's shiny, clear, isn't too watery, and has a great smell. It makes my lips tingle a bit, but not uncomfortably so. Overall this is a great pick-me-up, and it's a great deal, too!

Being a Japanese company, this brand really knows their customers. As a Japanese girl myself I have straight short lashes, but a few pumps of this and I'm instantly bright eye'd. This is a really high quality tool that doesn't pinch your eyes, either.

This is a nice set. It includes three creams and a powder, so that you can vary the coverage and shade you want. The brushes are a bit useless if you're trying to cover larger areas such as under the eye, but for covering up a blemish they're great. It wears all day and truly hides those pesky little pimples. As a bit of a snob I'm proud to report that I feel no shame in prominently displaying this in my makeup bag, the packaging is very sleek and doesn't scream BARGAIN. But at $10 for 4 different shades and 2 different formulas, it's a steal.

This is a really nice scrub, but don't use it everyday. I bought the gentle version which is obviously much easier on your skin while still being a good exfoliant. I only use it a couple times a week, and it helps my skin feel fresh and stay smooth. It does what I need it to, and the price is great. Just be sure not to rub too hard, as someone else mentioned - broken capillaries. Scrubs are intended to gently exfoliate, not rip your skin off. So use sparingly.

I don't know what it is about this product, but it certainly doesn't drive me wild with desire or leave me singing praises. It's a nice waterproof mascara that provides some length and volume, but it just doesn't wow me. Maybe I have too high of expectations? I would probably buy this again to keep in my bag to wear on casual occasions when I don't feel like using the DiorShow. Perhaps I'm an elitist when it comes to mascara and refuse to let anything but Dior or Lancome have their number one spots in my heart....

All of my life I have had very dry, sensitive skin because of my eczema. Consequently a good lasting moisture has been critical to combat flakiness. Gold bond definitely does the trick. My hands are moisturized and extremely soft, no scaly patches on my hands at all. It's long lasting and almost feels like you're wearing a moisture glove. There are various formulations with vitamin e or aloe according to personal preference. In my opinion the shea butter smells weird, but I just stick with the other lotions. They recently came out with a lotion that has an SPF 15 in it, which is even better. For the price and level of moisture it offers, this is a great product. I would definitely recommend this to extreme dry skin sufferers, or those who just want soft hands.

This is a really nice powder. It's somewhere between a blush and a bronzer, I think. A little bit goes a long way, and basically it acts to make you look a little more alive and awake. It's extremely flattering, and adds that touch that makes your skin look like it's glowing. It can be buffed on to the whole face to give you more of a traditional bronzer look, but I prefer it just on the cheek bones to look more awake. Excellent product, great staying power, and a lot of value for the money considering how little product is needed on a daily basis.

As a diehard Nars and MAC fan I was skeptical of trying Urban Decay, but after hearing so many rave reviews I thought I'd give it a shot. Sellout looked great on my hand, but as soon as I got home and tried it on it looked awful. Maybe I didn't choose the right color, but I was thoroughly unimpressed. I returned it shortly thereafter. Frankly I'm not that impressed with the range of colors, they border on tacky, and they're not all completely wearable. For now, I'll stick with NARS and MAC.
