Disney Takes Down Their "Sexy" Version of the "Brave" Princess

I love the Tarte line and I received this in a kit. It is THE WORST mascara I have used. Maybe I am picky, but I look for lengthening and fullness. This product does neither. All it does is darken your lashes; no lengthening and thickening. For me, this is not acceptable because I think longer, thicker lashes really make your eyes pop. I do not recommend this product.

This palette contains both cream and powder shadows, a great concept. But, the colors look strange on your eyes, the cream shadows crease, especially with a primer. I really disliked the powder shadows because the colors are blah and way too subtle. However, the celery color made my eyes look like I had been bruised. The powder shadows are not highly pigmented. I do not recommend this product.

When I sampled this at Sephora, I loved it and bought it. It is a highlighter for brows. It is a champagne color and intended to use under your brow line to add definition and highlight to your brows. It applies very smoothly and the light color is very subtle yet effective to brighten your face, especially the eye area. I recommend this product.

This eye palette contains 2 concealer colors and brightening creams. It also has a great mascara which is small enough to carry in your makeup bag. I love the brush that comes with it. I don't usually like brushes and applicators that come with a kit, but this one is not super soft and does not bend when using it. A pleasant surprise. You could also use your finges to tap the products on. The pinks really brighten your eyelids, so much so that you don't have to wear eyeshadow for a very nice, natural bright look. I recommend this palette because of the quality and variety of products.

This is a great eyebrow kit. It comes with a template that is very easy to use. It also has illustrations to help guide you. There is a wax to keep your brows set, although I don't use it because it removes the color I just put on. The colors are good, and I blend them to get the best color. A little, little bit of the powder is all you need. The more I use them, it seems like I haven't even used it! The powder really stays on my brows, probably because I apply moisturizer also to my brows. This is a worthwhile kit. I find powders to be better than pencil because it looks more natural.

This translucent face powder is too translucent. When I applied it, I could not see any difference at all. I applied it again and still nothing. There is no coverage, and it felt like it didn't even set my makeup. A better product is Benefit's Hello Flawless. Don't buy this.

Too Faced does make the best bronzers. I like this because it is not heavy and imparts a matte finish. It is very good for sculpting your face. I apply a little under my cheek bones and along my chin line. Also, I put a little on the corners of the top of my face. It does not look fake, and does not rub off. I highly recommend this.

I received this in a kit. It is HORRIBLE!! It separated inside the tube so when I went to use it the first time, an oily substance came out first. I shook it to mix, and put it on my lids. It is a joke. It does not apply evenly and does not light up your eyes at is claims to do. I stopped using eyeshadow primers because I use highly pigmented shadows, like Urban Decay and Too Faced. However, because this came in a kit, I decided to try it. DON'T buy it. Their other primer doesn't work either, and it seems when I buy a kit they are always giving away these eyeshadow primers. Probably because they can't sell them!!

I swear by the quality of Aveda, and I needed hairspray and bought this. It is way too stiff. My hair felt like I was wearing a helmet. It makes one's hair look fake and old lady like (no offense intended, but hair stylists tend to overdo the hair spray on older ladies) and for hair that is thin and has no body at all. I couldn't even run a brush or comb through my hair. I washed my hair, and promptly returned it.

This oil, like all of the Aveda oil collection, is very good mixed with body moisturizing products, such as creams, body butters, and Aveda Carribbean Therapy. I mention the latter because when I get a pedicure at my Aveda salon, the technician always mixes this oil with Carribbean Therapy and massages my legs. This particular oil does smell like geraniums, which I love. (they're about the only flower that will not die in the New Mexico heat.) So, I purchased this to massage my body and mix it with various creams and Carribbean Therapy cream, with great results. My skin does not itch and is not flaky. I highly recommend any of the Aveda oils. (And Carribbean Therapy)
