I was so pleased and excited to receive this product and review it for Total Beauty! This mascara comes in a generous yet sleek, gleaming, glamorous tube. It seems to contain more product than the usual Cover Girl tubes from the drug store, too, which is a bonus in my book. I usually gravitate a defined yet more on the natural side of makeup, so I was a little skeptical that this mascara would be too much for me. I was pleasantly surprised that the nice, big brush was able to sweep on the mascara and get every itty bitty lash in just one coat. The definition was good but didn't look tacky or globby at all. My eyelashes had the perfect thickness and length. The formula is almost gel-like, it's so smooth. It set beautifully and held the curl in my lashes after I curled them, and I have poker straight lashes. The black is a nice, sooty black. My eyes were so defined that I skipped eyeliner altogether. It really defined my eyes and did not budge all day long, even though it is in the 90s here in Florida right now. Yet it was really easy to remove with my makeup remover of choice. No tugging or extra wiping necessary. I would definitely buy this mascara. I think it's a terrific buy and a high quality product. Thanks again, Total Beauty!

These are the best makeup remover wipes I have ever found at the drugstore! They get every bit of makeup off in one fell swoop. I do not have to use a second wipe to get things done, either,since the wipes are a substantial size. And they also smell fresh and clean and leave my skin fresh, clean and a tad moisturized. Very, very gentle on skin too. I have sensitive skin and it has never been riled up by these wipes. Definitely a winner!

I just love this luxurious, butter-like shave cream so much! It is so much better than the typical junk in the aerosol can for ladies. It is Eco-friendly and a wonderful product. It does not lather or anything, but offers a great layer of protection when shaving. It makes my legs so smooth during and after, it feels like satin! And I really love the scents, especially the Vanilla Spice scent. I do not really like shaving my kegs, but I do with this stuff!

I have been wearing this lipstick line for years now, and I still say that the sauciest, yet looks good on anybody, red is my beloved Angel Red by Clinique. When I wear it, I feel like a 40s screen siren, yet it is not too showy or clownish where you could not wear it during the day. I'm kinda pale, (I like to say I am creamy-complected!) with dark brunette hair and this color is gorgeous on me. I always get compliments when wearing it. It goes on smooth and lovely. It wears moderately, you still have to touch it up but it still wears pretty well. It is very smooth and does not dry out my chronically dry lips.

This self tanner for legs is just not as good as my old stand by, the Jergens gradual self-tanner. It was too runny and smelly for my taste. The color was not as good as the Jergens brand, either. It was a tad too orange for my liking. I got the Fair to Medium Skin shade, and it just seemed too unnatural. It did seem to impede the hair growth, though, I will give it that.

I bought this on sale at TJ Maxx, and I am pleasantly surprised at how well it performed for my hair. I have wavy-curly, dryish hair and I don't like a ton of product to make my hair look well-behaved and healthy. This styling lotion fits the bill for just that. It seals in moisture and cuts down on the frizz, making my hair smoother. It is also versatile since I have used it when straightening, blow drying or airdrying my hair and using hot rollers and it still worked great. I got the bottle where you have to pour it in your hands - a little sticky, but I will get the spray bottle later when I run out. This formula is organic and protects against heat styling. There are also no sulfates either, so it is good for color-treated hair too. And no animal testing! It has soothing sunflower seed oil, moisturizing aloe, flower extracts and Vitamin E to make the hair polished, but not all crunchy like some styling products. You can also get this at your local health food store.

This mascara is pretty terrific for my hard to curl lashes. I always seem to have a problem with smudging, but not with this or any other Cover Girl mascaras. The brush is nice and big, so it makes it very easy to put on quickly and get every little lash. It has a nice, sort of thick, but smooth formula. The price is decent, especially with Ulta coupons and sales!

I really like the brush and formula of this mascara, but the staying power is less than desirable. This goes on thick but somehow not clumpy. It made my lashes look badass, but I did not care for the smudges underneath after an hour or so. I can get better for less with Cover Girl mascaras.

I am a fan of Cover Girl mascaras. They never fail to deliver and they are very reasonably priced! This one went on without clumps and didn't look like I had spider legs for lashes, a big plus in my book. I never seem to have smudging, raccoon eyes with Cover Girl mascara either. I would say this is a decently pigmented, medium coverage mascara. Your lashes are definitely more defined but still appear more natural. I usually get Blackest Black and it looks great. Plus, if you want a more dramatic look, this one can layer without looking like a clown.

I have been using this for nearly a decade for stress and headaches. I just love the whole ritual of dabbing and massaging the minty lotion into my temples, back of neck and ear lobes, inhaling and feeling sweet relief. Origins uses essential oils to provide therapeutic relief. I keep this in my desk drawer at work. Perfect when you have a gazillion deadlines and your eyes are starting to cross from staring at the computer screen. Also makes a delightful and thoughtful Boss' Day, birthday or Christmas gift.
