Normally I don't care from anything by NYC but this is surprising how awesome this curler its. It cost $2.50 and it's one of the best curlers I've used so far. It's wider than normal curlers so it gets all my lashes because I have wide eyes. It curls beautifully too. This has been a wonder to use.

This is a matte lipstick. It doesn't dry my lips and it feels weightless. The lasting power is quite decent. Don't expect that it will stay on all day, but it does a good job of lasting. I also like that the color is quite true and pigmented, all for only $3. It's just a little too sticky though. It's creamier than most matte lipsticks, but kind of dry than regular lipsticks.

The primer does exactly what it's supposed to. Don't expect super thick lashes, but it does seem to hold on mascara longer than without using the primer. I used to have flakes under my eyes but there's been a significant difference. It's $6 a tube, which is cheaper than most luxe brands and works just as well, but I can still use a different brand that costs $3 and still works the same.

This is a great sharpener because it fits jumbo lip pencils easily.

Just a little dab is enough color. Don't expect amazing staying power or an amazing product. I use this for my lids and cheeks occasionally and it works. I like that it's small and convenient. It didn't leave my skin greasy though.

I've been using this for 2 months now and I love it. My acne has cleared and my hyperpigmentation and acne scars have virtually vanished. My skin feels so smooth after this and I know that the scrubbers aren't going to tear my skin like St. Ives. I have an 8oz bottle and it's lasted for a while. I haven't had flakey dry skin in a long time. Just make sure you use a good moisturizer after this. It's pricey, but definitely worth the price to me!

I got a free deluxe sample for being a VIB and I don't care for it at all. One side is a normal mascara brush, and the other side is slightly elongated like a comb. It's a good idea (like Smashbox's Hyperlash), but it clumps and sticks lashes together like crazy. The comb doesn't do much to separate the lashes. I'm sticking to DiorShow.

I love this in "Sugar Plum". It smells really nice and very sweet. It goes on smoothly and adds a nice sheer color to my lips. It's at a decent price too! It doesn't dry my lips most importantly.

I have 'Destiny' which is a mauve with a golden sheen in it. It goes on beautifully and smoothly, and it doesn't get sticky. I think it does something to plump as it says. I love the tingly feeling too. Sometimes it can get too intense, so watch out if you don't like intense tingle, although I personally like it.
