Here are all my reviews:

I have this in Tweed Sienna and I love it! It's a very warm shade with just the perfect amount of gold sparkle mixed in. I have fair skin and prefer a more natural look, so I use it with a very light hand and I think it gives me a perfectly natural, "look at me" glow. I tossed the brush that came with it (almost always do) but otherwise, the packaging is great. Very sturdy, so I don't have to worry that the hinge will break, making the compact useless.

I have several eye shadow quads from L'Oreal and I love all of them. I was reminded to post a review because I'm wearing one of them today and having just come from the ladies' room, I noticed my shadow is still perfectly in place. Even though I've touched my eyes several times (by accident and when putting in eye drops). I love the colors, too. Shades with shimmer have the perfect amount of sparkle without being too glittery.

I have a bottle of this right now and I'm having trouble using it up (I hate wasting product) because I just don't care for it. I don't like the way it feels and I don't think it gets my skin very clean. The pump dispenser on my bottle is also very annoying as I feel like I need to pump it several times to get enough cleanser to wash my whole face. There are some Boscia products I like, but this isn't one of them.

I've tried this and wasn't impressed with it. Didn't feel it cleaned my skin very well, didn't like the scent and it made me break out a little more than usual. Not really a fan of Philosophy products, in general.

I love this scent. I had a sample a few years ago that I loved, then I forgot about it until I ended up with another sample a couple weeks ago. I'm wearing it today and it's really nice. I feel like "crystalline" really is the best word to describe it. It's not super heavy but it stands out and it definitely lasts a full day. I need to add this scent to my "must buy" list!

I love this kit and it's the only at home wax kit I will ever use. I once attempted a drugstore brand, hoping to find a cheaper option, but the quality was nothing compared to this Bliss set. It's definitely worth the money. I especially love the pre-wax oil--it definitely reduces the pain a little bit and helps remove any stray little bits of wax. The scent of the wax is nice and I even love the deep blue shade--it makes it easier to spot those stray bits of wax that need removing. The kit also comes with two different sizes of applicators, which is nice, though I've had some trouble in the past with accidentally breaking them (but it also comes with three of each size, so it wasn't the end of the world). It even comes with a sample of the ingrown hair treatment pads! Included in the box is a pamphlet with instructions and tips for waxing various areas. Definitely worth the money!

I purchased this in an attempt to find a less expensive, but as effective, alternative to my favorite cleanser (Fresh Soy), but it didn't work. This cleanser works well enough--it's not drying, has a nice scent and is pleasantly foamy--but I didn't see any improvements in my skin tone and I had more breakouts while using it. I used it anyway until it was nearly empty then I gave up and went back to my old favorite. The improvements I see in my skin make it well worth the extra cost.

This is my most recent favorite perfume. I find the scent is light enough, but still manages to last the day (which can be hard to find sometimes). It is quite floral at first, which I enjoy, and as the day passes I think it takes on a sweeter scent (like the vanilla and creme brulee mentioned in a previous comment). I love this for daily wear and the bottle is also very pretty without being too fussy. Every time I wear this my boyfriend comments on how great I smell! I also love that Sephora carries it in a rollerball size at a very reasonable price so I could test it out for an extended period before investing in a full-size bottle. I like this scent so much, I requested a sample with an online Sephora order, even though I already know I like it. I want to own as much of it as possible! Plus I love sample sizes for keeping in my purse to refresh if I want or if I forget to put on perfume in the morning.

I purchased this lash primer to boost my Diorshow mascara because I simply wasn't impressed with it on its own. And it worked. This primer really helps my lashes stand out, though I feel I get the best results if I put on two coats. So that's two coats of primer and one coat of mascara. If I can find a mascara I like that will work well enough on its own, I most likely will not purchase either of the Dior products again. This primer also claims to improve natural lashes over time--I've been using it for several weeks and haven't noticed any difference.

I don't remember the official color name, but I have this in a dark grey and I love it. It's the perfect shade of grey for my coloring and it stays in place well throughout the day, even though I tend to rub my eyes more than I should. It applies very smoothly, as well. I can't comment on the usefulness of the smudge tip at the other end of the pencil as I have not used it yet and may never. I do like that it's a twist up, so I don't have to try to manage a pencil that gets shorter and shorter with use. I would buy this same pencil and color again if/when I run out and if I find myself in the market for a new brown liner anytime soon, I will probably choose this same pencil in that color.
