I love Rimmel products and got to try this when I bought a tube of Rimmel mascara. The eyeliner is a nice inky black, soft, and can be smudged. The problem? It doesn't set as expected to and within an hour or two of wear, I have unflattering smudges around my eyes. I don't have oily lids, so that was really disappointing. It might be fine if using a lighter color to brighten the eye, but overall, I didn't find it to be as water resistant as it was advertised. It does make for a great base and applying a black eyeshadow over it does help it set, but unfortunately, not a repurchase for me.

I like Lancome's pressed powder, but since I have tanned significantly in the past week I had to pick up a drugstore replacement. Milani's other pressed powder has rave review on TB, but my drugstore didn't carry it. I decided to go with this one as the price was on the cheaper side. I have it in tan, which is a bit surprising because on the display it is the second to darkest color they offer and for other brands, I'm dead smack in the beige/medium range. Even if the color selection is limited, I would say that going a tad darker won't hurt (especially in the summer). I was surprised to find that this powder was easily blended out (but it looked frighteningly dark on the sponge). It's light and lightly scented. The floral imprint is adorable. Only downside is the clunky packaging.

Much better than I had expected. This powder gets the job done with no added shimmer and scents. I buff a little on my T-Zone using a generic cotton puff I bought. I do wish that the lid was screwed on, though. I accidentally dropped it and the lid did not stay on. To avoid the powder from forming clouds of powder whenever I opened it and to have a light application, I taped the holes and re-punctured them using a small pin.

I'm a bit confused as to why so many found this sticky and unappealing. I repurchased this four times and never have I encountered a sticky formula. It has just the right amount of shine and shimmer so that it doesn't come off as makeup. It's perfect for school wear or simply a nice, natural look. It looks great over lipstick or stains. In its defense, it isn't marketed as a lipgloss. It's supposed to be "glossy lip care." I think it's a good alternative to using non-colored lip balms and traditional lip glosses. I also find the scent delicious. It reminds me a lot of lychee.

This balm is my go-to favorite. I have three tubes of it! One for the bag, one at home, and one in my pocket. It absorbs into my lips super quickly and has no tacky, super sweet flavor. It's great for adding moisture to lipsticks that are a bit on the dry side.

I adore this oatmeal bath. A few years ago, I had an awful mysterious rash. My derm suggested using this bath in addition to the standard application of calamine lotion. While this left a messy clump of oatmeal bits around the rub, soaking it it was splendid. It's super calming and eases dryness and itch instantly. After a week of using this, my rash was subdued and now, I keep a box on hand in case of emergency sunburns, rashes, poison ivy, etc.

I love foaming cleansers, and I love Aveeno products. What in the world went wrong here? I simply didn't get any bang for my buck. It simply washed my face without really leaving it completely cleaned. In other words, it was too gentle. I have pretty sensitive skin, especially in the winter, but this did nothing. I have had better results with washing my face with a bar of moisturizing body soap.

I have been using this cleanser for two years, and it simply keeps my skin in the best condition it can be in. It's just the right amount of scrub, foam, moisture, everything! Some have complained that it feels "greasy" on the skin, but remember that this is a FOAMING cleanser. When nicely lathered up, this cleanser will not disappoint. However, it has been harder and harder to find in stores and my last bottle was ordered online. I am hoping that Neutrogena has not discontinued this product. It is a solid performer that really does help even out the skin over time (by which I mean daily long term use).

I adore this product. Not only is the smell fantastic and a great wake-me-up in the mornings, but just a small amount leaves my skin looking super smooth and glowing. I wore it without any makeup, and all of my friends noticed the subtle healthy glow and asked me what I magically did/used to get my skin looking so vibrant. I shared it with my family, and my aunt liked it so much she nabbed it from it. The price, however, is a bit higher than I would like it. Even though it requires just a little to look and feel great, it is simply better to catch it on sale.

I loved this product for the first month and a half I had it. Though it was supposed to be a mask (and I was expecting something heavier), this one was surprisingly light and smooth. During the winter, when my skin is parched, I even could use it as an overnight mask/moisturizer to wake up with glowing skin. I didn't like the container as it would be easy to spill and contaminate. Lo and behold...that's exactly what happened. Fortunately, it was because it spilled that I took a good sniff at it (about two months after I bought it) and it smelled off. While the original fragrance was light and slightly sweet, it smelled off (slightly rancid and chemically). The texture of it, however, was exactly the same. Just to be safe though, I chucked it.
