This super creamy lotion is so great for my flaky winter hands! And the awesome array of fragrances B&BW puts into these just has me reapplying over and over, even though one application a day is pretty much enough for my toughest dry spots. LOVE!

Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Correcting Pebbles
Sadly, this is no dupe for Meteorites.
While I typically enjoy the quality of PF's makeup, the pebbles were simply a no. I didn't see anything in terms of correction or brightening of my skin, there was just a bit of a frosty sheen that covered everything. I did notice a less oily sheen around my T-zone, though. I also have a bone to pick with the packaging: the included brush just stinks! Even for a drugstore powder the quality is just horrendous! Come on! Thank goodness for the extra puff, however, but serious; lose the brush, rework the formula. I had high hopes for these...

I'm a fan of the really smooth and really pigmented application this lipstick gives and the little flecks of gold that make my lips shimmer and shine without gloss. However, this lipstick faded four hours into my day! My bright magenta-pink lips had turned baby pink fading into pale pink! Formula needs more hydration too, otherwise this lipstick has serious potential!

Honestly, I wasn't expecting so much out of this power. BOY was I wrong. Yes! It controls shine! Yes! It doesn't cake on after I apply foundation! Yes! It doesn't settle into fine lines! Yes! There is so much product here! But, it does make a very large container for traveling though

This 'lipstick' is simply not pigmented enough, it's really lip gloss with a little bit of pop ladies. Unless one has lips that have little to no pigmentation naturally, it's actually really hard to see the medium to light shades. The formula is to be loved, however. Along with it's no mess application, this 'gloss' goes on smooth for a lasting finish literally all day

Even though it says "All Over," I've only used this as a cream blush or a base for my powder blush. On my lips, it looks like I've got some serious frost sheen on which I am not a fan of, and on my lids, it makes for good eyeshadow but doesn't last very long. The color selection is definitely limited and could do with a wider range, but otherwise this product is great with its creamy texture and pigmentation (just not as multi-functional as I expected)

This makeup remover isn't exactly a holy grail for me, but it gets the job done, and easily makes my makeup bag less bulky when I'm traveling. Everything comes off easily, even my super waterproof eyeliner and mascara without the sting, but it leaves a sticky residue that takes some washing off afterwards.

This eyeliner is nothing but a chalk pencil! It's hard, doesn't blend, and crumbles a few weeks after use. I love the pearly sheen, however, and really wish they would consider reformulating this into something smoother and better for our eyes!

This mascara is just...ok. It doesn't curl, but it doesn't clump. It doesn't flake, but it doesn't give volume either. It DOES define, though, so for my dark lashes, this mascara makes them a little more prominent. Building has never been a problem if a light hand is used, but too much product weighs down my lashes in no time flat. Overall, it's not a miracle worker, but it's not exactly epic fail either.

Hard Candy's sudden transition to a "drugstore brand" definitely took me by surprise, but their products still stay true to their good name, just at a bargain price. Hooray! When I first tried this primer, it was so slick, I seriously thought I had crisco on my face. However, the formula did dry quickly, leaving a velvety a nice velvety feeling. Whew. I still could see tiny pores and blackheads, but they were significantly diminished after foundation. My makeup did wear much better than primer-free, and my oily skin only got dewy at most after an 8 hour day. It's no amazing magic marker, but definitely worth what I paid.
