I'm totally shocked that the rating on this product is so low! It's one of the best curlers I've ever tried. First of all, it's adorable. The purple chunky handles and the gold finish made a big impression on me and ultimately made me choose it over other curlers. It pinches a TINY bit if you use it wrong, but all it takes is a little practice to get it so you never pinch yourself. IT really does curl your lashes too! It doesn't just stick them straight up, as many other curlers do, but it curves them, which puts it up higher on the list than most curlers. I personally think it's comparable to the Shu Uemura curler. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone!

I got this perfume for my birthday, and I have to say it's absolutely amazing! I thought I'd never find anything I liked more than my Viva La Juicy, but this completely blows it out of the water. It's got vanilla in it, which I absolutely love, it's really strong so I only need one or two sprays, and it lasts and lasts! I think the bottle deserves a mention too. It's the cutest one I've ever owned! As you've probably seen in the image, it's a light purple cat. It comes with a cute little collar which comes off very easily, but it's adorable so I don't mind much. I'd totally recommend this perfume to someone younger. I've gotten so many compliments! I won't be switching to anything else anytime soon.

So, when I saw this product at Target, my skepticism was neverending. It was only 3 dollars, and ELF is generally a hit or miss brand. What this product claimed it could do seemed way too good to be true. First of all, I don't really use the primer much. It's okay, but I use the Urban Decay primer potion, and it just can't live up to that. It's pretty decent though, and I'll throw it in my purse every once and awhile. I do like how it has a tint to it so it evens out the skin on your eyelids. I can't say how it works on dark skin, though, since I'm extremely fair skinned. Now onto the liner sealer. Oh. My. God. I can't get over how amazing this product is! I've never seen this concept anywhere else, and ELF set a REALLY high standard for competitors. It not only turns any eyeshadow you want into eyeliner, it makes it WATERPROOF! And it really lasts forever. It also comes with a really nice liner brush/applicator. I use this almost everyday! I'll repurchase and repurchase this until they discontinue it (hopefully that won't be soon because I might die without this product). And it's only three dollars! I'd expect a higher end brand to price this at around 20-30, so it's a huge steal. And it's really high quality, even for ELF products. Everyone needs one of these in their makeup bag. It's so easy to use.

I've tried so many sunblocks on my face, it's ridiculous. I've tried almost everything you can find at Target, and none compare to this. My skin is oily, so naturally most sunscreens just look like a huge greasy mess on my skin, which is why I didn't like wearing them in the past. I picked this up for my face at the beginning of the summer, and I don't know how I ever lived without it! It actually mattifies my face! I can even skip foundation with this. I put it underneath all my makeup (like a primer) and my makeup lasts a lot longer than it did before, and it never breaks me out. This would be good for people with dry skin too, because it moisturizes very well! It works really well and stays on through EVERYTHING. I'm EXTREMELY fair skinned and this keeps me from burning all day! I don't plan on switching to anything else in the future.

I got this for free from an offer awhile back. The complete full size just for bringing in an empty container. This seemed too good to be true, so I can say I wasn't expecting much. I actually ended up really liking this moisturizer though. It's really moisturizing, makes my skin feel soft and smooth, and it didn't break me out at all! I tend to only use this at night or around the house though, because it's a little greasy. It doesn't absorb into my skin as well as I would like it to and makes me shinier than most moisturizers, but it still moisturizes very well. The scent also deserves a mention. It's WONDERFUL! It smells really earthy and citrusy, but the scent doesn't linger on your face after you put it on, which I really like. I also like how it was made without parabens and is natural. Overall, I'd recommend this product as a nighttime mosturizer.

This is the first mascara I ever used. I remember being around 7 years old and trying this mascara out to see what it did. It was one of the mascaras I used for a long time when I first started wearing makeup. It's a REALLY good beginner mascara, if nothing else. It gives you a really natural look. All it basically does is turns your lashes a different color. There's no volumzing or lengthening that happens. I'm not sure if it's the formula or the brush (which looks like those cheap ones they give out for free to sample mascara), but it really does nothing for my lashes. I recently bought the limited edition purple one, and I really love the color, but again, the formula really doesn't do it for me. It's absolutely BEYOND me how this is so wildly popular (it claims to have been the #1 mascara for over 40 years), and I think it's way way way overrated. The only reason I purchased this is to get the purple coloring (which is really pretty and subtle, I only wish Maybelline had chosen a different formula, such as Falsies, to colorize, but whatever), and it's really just as mediocre as when I first tried it. I'd recommend this to a tween who has JUST started wearing makeup, as it looks very natural and is easy to apply, but not to anyone who's ever tried anything else.

I've been looking for a mascara like this for a long time! It doesn't take much mascara but when you put it on your lashes it really does volumize! It hardly clumps at all, and it makes your eyes really pop! At first when I saw the extremely large brush I was convinced that the mascara was going to suck, but the brush tapers off at the end making it easier to get the little lashes in the corners! It lasts FOREVER too! I totally recommend it.

I have the Inspired quad (a very pretty palette with dark blue, light green, ivory, and teal shown in the description picture) and I expected WAY more from this product. It has hardly any pigment! I had to apply so much to my lids to get any color payoff, even with the dark blue! It does last a very long time, but I hardly ever use it because I own so many better alternatives. I wouldn't recommend this. Maybe the other quads are more pigmented, but the one I own downright sucks!

I don't see why everyone hates this! I'm EXTREMELY fair skinned and I'm able to use it. I squeeze a VERY small amount of this onto my cheeks and blend with my finger, and the color (even though it starts off as a SUPER bright fuchsia) actually turned out to be pretty natural looking. It took awhile for me to figure out how to get this color, but once I did it was worth it. A little goes a REALLY long way with this product. If you have darker skin it probably wouldn't show up as well, but on fair skin it looks like a natural flush when blended out properly. I also really like the silky/smooth texture! It feels GREAT on my skin. It lasts a long time too for being silicone based. I probably wouldn't repurchase, but I'll definitely use it up.

At the moment, I only have a few of these lipsticks (a matte, and 2 lustre finishes) and I absolutely adore them. There are SO many amazing colors and finishes to choose from that it's almost impossible to only get one! They're not the most long lasting lipstick I've ever worn, but they do last awhile, especially the matte ones. For a MAC product, they're really inexpensive for the quality you get, and it's nice that you actually get to try them on your lips at the store/counter before you decide on your color. The vanilla scent may be annoying to some, but I'm a fan of scented makeup and I LOVE it! I still find I have to put on lip balm on before applying most of these lipsticks (not the cremesheen or the lustre though) as they can be a little bit drying (especially in the matte finish's case), but that doesn't bother me as you can easily get around it by putting lipbalm on underneath. I totally would recommend these to anyone!
