This got good reviews on Amazon, so I bought it. I needed a curling iron for touch ups. My hair is curly, but very fine, so some of the curls lose their bounce or get frizzy. I needed a product that would keep each curl looking decent, but this product couldn't even do that. I experimented with various heat settings and curling aids, but the results were always the same: a limp curl that lost its shape within minutes.

I wish I could give this lipstick more stars. It's inexpensive, comes in a variety of colors, and is smooth, moist, and creamy. Unfortunately, it does not last long on your lips at all. The lipstick's slickness, which gives it its great look and feel, also means it "slides" right off your lips.

I have extremely pasty legs. A full-on tan would look unnatural, but I wanted a product that would take the glare off. I switched to this product from a very similar product from Jergens after Consumer Reports gave it a thumbs up. It does have that self-tanner smell, but it's ever-so-faint and mostly masked by a sweet smell that I like. It takes about three days to see results, but the subtle, natural tan is worth the wait. In the meantime, this product distributes shimmer when you use it. For that reason, I wouldn't put it on before going to bed, but I love to use it on my legs when I wear shorts, a skirt, or a dress.

I don't know if these work because I couldn't get past the excruciating tooth pain they caused. It was sort of like paying $35 to get punched in the mouth, but with a disgusting bleach-like taste and a weird slime thrown in for good measure. Even the air hurt.

I haven't noticed any changes when I use this product, which I suppose is a good thing (so many hairsprays/spray gels are sticky and make my hair look dull). It smells amazing, but it doesn't add any noticeable shine or shimmer. It also doesn't offer any sort of hold. Still, I continue to use it because the smell is irresistible and the idea of spraying sparkles into my hair makes my morning a little less dull.

I love how simple this is to use. The creamy product blends well and dries quickly to a powder finish. I like to swipe it above my lash line, and then blend it upward. It lasts all day and doesn't migrate to my cheeks and under eye area like many traditional eye shadows do.

This toner stung my sensitive skin, so I won't be using it again, but that doesn't mean it isn't a great product. It really does shrink your pores (albeit temporarily). A little goes a long way, so one of these big, cheap bottles can easily last you all year.

This product didn't leave me with that "clean" feeling I love so well. My skin still felt like it had a layer of something on it, and I found I had to use it twice in a row to the the results I wanted. Even then, it wasn't the best choice for combination skin, as it didn't address the oil in my T-zone or the dryness of my cheeks.

This mascera really juices up my lashes. I don't know that it "doubles" them, but it definitely makes them longer and fuller. Without a lash curler, it gives me those old-fashioned bedroom eyes, which I love. I only wish this mascara was a tad more natural looking. The non-clumping factor is a big plus, but lashes can look spidery, especially toward the end of the day. I keep a lash brush on me to mitigate this effect.

I keep one of these in my cubicle at all times. I use it to moisturize my cuticles, lips, and elbows. As a chapstick, it gives lips a pretty rosy sheen. I like to slather it on my hands when they're feeling extra dry. It looks and feels greasy at first, but absorbs quickly and provides instant relief to itchy dry spots. The rose smell is wonderful, as is how long this little tin lasts. I will never be without this product!
