I used this when I was in college. I didn't have the luxury to live in a big city and this was one of the brands that the town carried. I love all of the colors that are offered but it seemed that the line would draw on too thick or wouldn't be consistent in continuing the line. These are okay if you are in a bind but I would suggest using some different liquid eyeliners if available.

Bought this because it was waterproof and was hoping that it would stay put during a musical festival. It stayed put alright! I had a difficult time taking this off even with makeup remover.

Update: It is July 2017 and I still use this mascara. It is still my HG mascara. LOVE it so much that I usually stock up on this when it goes on sale! This mascara makes my lashes lush and long. It doesn't smudge like a few of the other mascaras i've used. All you need is water to take off this mascara. Don't be alarmed when you take off the mascara, there will be tiny tubes or more like strings coming off of your lashes. Clean up is quick and short.

I received a sample of these vitamins from TotalBeauty to review. I was hoping that it would help alleviate some of the dryness I was experiencing on my hands. (I tend to handle a LOT of paper and wash my hands frequently so they are usually really dry! Yes, I use lotion during the day and oils at night to help my skin) Not only was I hoping that it would alleviate some of the dryness but also some of the peeling on my nails. My nails were a tad beat up. I start taking the vitamins twice a day as recommended and started praying that I would see a difference in a week or two. Fast forward to about three weeks, and I started to notice the subtlest of differences. While the dryness wasn't alleviated, my nails were the wow factor. The peeling had subsided and while I do polish my nails, my nails weren't stained after using a red polish! (I know that the staining can be chalked up to the formula of the polish, but I have used the same formula in the past and still had staining even with the same base and top coats.) While my nails started looking better, my skin on the other hand freaked out! I usually have minimal white heads and blackheads, but after three weeks of ingesting these vitamins, my skin was not on its best behavior. I was breaking out on my forehead and cheeks. (Not the prettiest when you have a wedding to attend.) My skin was not behaving, but my hair was feeling the impact of the vitamins. Prior to these vitamins, washing and styling my hair resulted in lots of strands falling out. While I was using the vitamins, my hair was falling out less! It didn't have shine to it (that had to be sprayed on), but it was smoother and less breakage meant I had more hair on my head! I trust NatureMade when it comes to vitamins due to the brand being one of three vitamin brands that is USP verified. Overall, I liked that the vitamin helped my hair and nails but was disappointed that my skin was affected. Full disclosure: Nothing in my lifestyle or diet changed prior or after to using these vitamins.

This is one of the best conditioners out there! I have used this on and off for the last few months. It leaves my hair feeling silky and soft. The shine is just right. However, I had a slight problem with the conditioner making my hair overly silky. (I know such a weird thing to complain about!) When I was drying my hair, it would frizz out because of how silky/soft it was. Instead of using this conditioner with just the conditioner, I would add another conditioner to it (like a leave in) and that would make a difference in the texture of my hair. If you had extremely coarse hair, I would highly recommend this.

I received a box of these from TotalBeauty and was excited to try a wax at home kit. First, I had to let my hair grow even longer than I am used to and well we all know the pain that can be! I thought I had enough growth and truth be told, when I applied the first strip, it didn't even grab hair! It just left behind a sticky mess. About a week later, I tried the waxing strips again and was semi successful! I was able to see some small hairs in the strip this time around. No, it didn't hurt, but geez, I had to do it multiple times since it was pulling out five hairs at the most. Honestly, if you would like to get a clean wax, just go to a salon. This was more of a hassle than it was helpful. (Truth be told, the concept is great, it just doesn't have phenomenal grabbing power when it comes to coarse hair.)

I use this at night after washing my face. I usually use this during the winter when my facial skin becomes tight. This is the only cream that relieves the tightness.

I bought this when I was having some issues with my skin. After I was using it for about 3 weeks, my skin started to become irritated from using this product. Yes, this does help with calming some pimples, but it is not worth the irritation. The amount of tea tree oil you are getting from the bottle is really not cost effective. If you really want something cost effective and that is just the oil, get Desert Essence.

I was sent these two lubricants to review and here it goes! Both of these are water based lubricants which means that they won't be sticky! However, they don't last as long as the other lubricants. I have to say that I enjoyed using one over the other. Closer was the one that felt the best out of the two. I wasn't a big fan of the Sensitive Touch. Give them a go and you may end up liking them!

Although this line comes with an abundance of colors, my all-time favorite glossimer is Giggle. It is the ultimate nude lip color. It has subtle sparkle and doesn't make an adult woman look like a tween. The only thing I dislike is that if the wind is blowing you will surely have hair ON your lips. It is very sticky and will get anything else sticky, but it feels luxe compared to some others out there. Make sure that this is the last thing to go on!
