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

This is the conditioner I’ve started using for the winter months when my curls start to dry out. It’s really moisturizing and you don’t have to use a ton of it for it to leave your hair feeling soft. I would recommend this to people with drier hair or use heat on their hair often. I think it would be okay for oily hair as long as you didn’t apply too much on the roots. The best part about this is how cheap it is! It’s worth it to just try out if you’re looking for something new.

I've only used a few different brushes for foundation, because I used sponges to apply it for a long time. This was part of a birthday gift I received from a friend, and it is definitely my favorite! The clear handle of the brush is really beautiful and well-made, and the bristles are soft and pliable, but never fall out. I clean it once a week with make up brush cleaner and so far it has lasted me 2 years! It spreads foundation around my face really well. The only reason I'm giving it 9 stars is because it is pretty expensive and I probably wouldn't be able to afford it if it wasn't a gift.

This was the first eyeshadow primer that I ever bought. I usually like clinique products so this was very disappointing. I liked that you can choose the color of it and wear it on its own as a highlighter, but it didn't work well for me at all as a primer. I think it actually made my greasy eyelids even greasier and the eyeshadow creased like crazy and didn't stay put. If you don't want to spend lots of money on a great primer like Too Faced or Urban Decay, I would suggest just using a really good foundation for oily skin under shadow.

This is such an amazing eye shadow! It comes in a velvet box and just makes me feel so fancy whenever I use it. I received it as a Christmas gift (because it is pricey and there’s no way I could afford it on my own). I had never used Urban Decay eye shadow before I got the Naked palate, and I now adore it! When used in combination with the primer, it goes on so incredibly smoothly and there’s no creasing! That is a first for me. Like other reviewers have mentioned, the eye shadows are highly pigmented and blend easily. All of the colors are absolutely gorgeous. They can be combined in all sorts of ways to create about any effect you want. I know that some people don’t like the brush, but I think it’s pretty decent. It may seem pricey at $4 per shadow, but for Urban Decay or any other higher end make up retailer, it’s a good deal. This is really the only eye shadow I use anymore. I’d also like to note that I get eczema around my eyes and this didn’t irritate my skin at all.

I absolutely LOVE this eye liner. I purchased it recently because of the good reviews I read on here, and I can testify to all the hype! I bought the color called "Sable Brown" which is a very pretty medium brown/bronze color. It glides on so smoothly with great pigmentation. I was really expecting it to fade or smudge after a few hours because it went on so easily, but it didn't! I applied it on top of an eyelid primer and set it with eyeshadow, and it lasted for six whole hours with no noticeable change. That is truly a first for me, because I have very greasy eyelids. I don't know about any of the other colors, but the brown is great. It looks wonderful with blue eyes.

I definitely bought this foundation on a whim in the drugstore. I usually only use mineral powder because my skin is both sensitive and oily, but in the winter time it dries out a bit and I can use foundation again. Revlon Colorstay was always my favorite foundation as a teenager because it hid acne so well, but now that I’m in my 20’s I don’t need such heavy coverage. The whipped foundation is a perfect fit for me. It’s lighter than the original formula but stays on just as well. I can go pretty much all day with minimal touch ups and still look great at the end of the day. The best part is my skin doesn’t get really greasy or irritated like it does with practically every other foundation! Plus, the packaging is really nifty and fancy looking. This is a good everyday foundation for those looking for medium coverage. I’m not sure if this would be the best foundation for those with dry skin, but it seems to work great for normal/oily skin types.

I really like Olay in general, but some of their night creams irritate my skin. Active Hydrating doesn't, and it helps me keep my skin from getting dry and flaky in the winter. I have eczema on my face and acne, and this cream didn't aggravate either condition. I don't think this is a cream for someone who is looking to fix a major issue with their skin, but it works great for someone with sensitive or dry skin, or someone looking to maintain their skin's health. I usually use this at night, and when I wake up in the morning my skin always looks refreshed. I absolutely love the way it smells (similar to cold cream) and I love the rich, creamy texture. I always end up coming back to this cream after I'm tempted to try a new one.

This stuff is my go to mascara. Whatever I try, I usually end up coming back to Full and Soft. The area around my eyes is very sensitive and prone to eczema, so I have to be extra careful with the kind of eye makeup I use. I really like the way this goes on and only needs one or two coats. It does exactly what it claims to do- make my lashes full and soft. I hate when mascaras make lashes hard and brittle. This mascara always leaves mine soft to the touch and doesn’t flake. If I use it with a mascara primer and concealer under my eyes, it doesn’t smudge. It may not give a huge amount of volume or length, but it is great for school or work. My only complaint is that during hot weather it’s not as long wearing as I’d like it to be.

This stuff is a decent nail polish, although the dark purple color is somewhat thin. It took a few coats for a smooth color. For the price, you can get a lot better like Essie or China Glaze. I think it does last longer than the original Revlon polish, but I think the consistency might actually be worse.

I bought this on more or less of a whim to get a GWP at Clinique. I did buy the 25 SPF version, but I can't imagine it's much different. I was looking for a sunscreen, but I got so much more! I was shocked at how much I love this stuff, because I have really temperamental skin that is both oily and extremely sensitive. It goes on really smoothly with not much of a smell at all. It seems to moisturize my skin and also acts as a great base for makeup. It has a bit of a tint to it and makes skin look more evened out. You can even use this stuff around your eyes! I always have a tube in my makeup bag.
