For one dollar one can not hope to have too high expectations. I saw this product at my local target, it was the last one in stock, and it was only one dollar! I had wanted to try ELF's one dollar line for a while already, but sadly online it is almost impossible to see these gems in stock. When I saw this in target it was almost a no brainer to purchase this. First off, the brush itself is nothing amazing, but it does get the job done. I feel like since it is an eye shadow brush it does not play an extremely important role into my everyday routine. I think as long as the brush picks up color and is able to spread it on my lid, it does a decent job already. This brush also spread the color quite evenly, and doesn't really feel harsh on my eyelid. I read about this brush being long lasting, sometimes lasting about 6 months before a replacement was needed. I was a bit skeptical though, because my brushes are usually replaced within 6 months, and I really wondered if this one dollar product could last that long. The brush also does not shed which is great, I have washed the brush about 10 times already and the bristles are still intact. The packaging is not extremely attractive but it's not like packaging and design affect the quality of the brush so I am okay with it. It's amazing, for one dollar who could ask for more right? Quality product, amazing results, and an unbeatable price. This product is highly recommended and I hope every can get their hands on this. I only wish that this was available on their online sight so I would not have to scavenger around to find a replacement.

I think this is one of the most famous beauty products there are out there. There is no wonder this product is so hyped about, it is fantastic and you are really actually paying for what you get, amazingly high quality, highly pigmented, smooth, long lasting eye shadows. It may look tiny but there is a lot in one little slice of eye shadow. The pan holds I believe 1 gram which is almost as much as a Mac eyeshadow!!! There are 12 shadows in this set which is amazing, it is like getting each shadow for about $50 which equals to approximately around $4 each product. It's a great deal with you want to start off with your make up collection. I think the set also comes with eye shadow primer and a eye shadow brush, but the newer sets come with a pencil duo that is brown and black, please correct me if I am wrong. I love how the range of color goes from light to completely black, which is good, there are good in between shades. The formula is also very smooth so it is easy to blend these colors together for either added drama or just a natural looking type of make up. The only thing I have to complain about is the kind of cheap looking packaging. It's quite annoying, I wish the Naked pallet was like the naked 2 pallet with the metal case, I am not a fan of the flimsy felt like texture. It doesn't appeal to me, and I don't care for the fact that it gets dirty or clumpy, I am not too sure how to make of it. Other than the packaging I think the products are great, the price is great, and the whole product is a beauty must have.

I had seen so many amazing reviews about this product online and one of my good blogger friends had recommended this item to me as a cheaper alternative to higher end products. This was not the case. My skin is not exactly great with foundations, and I had only wanted to try this product because I thought it would be a little gem, but it was terrible. The color payoff was not what it claimed to be, there was this really strong redish/pinkish undertone that did not sit well with my face, Also the skin was amazingly patchy, my skin looked really terrible when I had this makeup on. I would also try to make the formula a little more consistent by mixing a lotion but it would turn out very oily! I had trouble even using this product for more than a month. I think this foundation not only looked terrible, it did really terrible things to my skin. At the end of the day I would have to wash my face twice or so because the foundation just made my face feel really oily and my pores felt very clogged. Sometimes when I removed my make up I would even find small pimples that have appeared. it was terrible, I thought it was due to the acne but after I stopped using this foundation my skin cleared. This foundation is kind of what you would never want in a foundation, the coverage is terrible, the feeling is terribly oily, and it breaks out your skin. The price is not even cheap, I feel as if even the NYC foundation was a better product than this Maybeline one. I would not recommend this product for people with combination skin, oily skinn, or dry skin. I think it only works well with normal skin types and people who are searching for that "dewy" finish type of look.

I own this in the shade/color Roach it's sort of like this reddish brown color that does not really look brown on your skin it looks more on the red side. I feel like this color would look better if i had tanner skin but I sadly do not. The product is packaged in a cute little bottle , well I do think all of Urban Decay's products are packaged nice and neatly with pretty little designs this was no exception. I feel like the lasting power for this product is also pretty good, it lasts long enough and it does not crack like some other liquid eyeliners, which is a major plus. But anyhow, I think that this was a really good product for the price, I think I got it online during the sale for about $8 which is comparable to a drug store liquid eyeliner where I am from. The color is very unique as well but I just do not really know how to use this color on an everyday basis, such as wear it to work or school type of deal. I do though like how the brush is very fine so I can draw very thin lines. The pigmentation or color payoff is also really good, a little of this product looks very dark, it is the same great quality as the other Urban decay makeup. I think there were also a bunch of neat colors to choose from such as pinks, golds, and others. While I feel like the product is absolutely adorable, I feel like a lot of product gets wasted because the brush does not reach the bottom of the jar, the problem is quite similar to the primer potion wand problem, but I think Urban Decay has come out with new packaging for this product that solves that problem? Over all, good product.

I picked up a few of these beauties while shopping randomly at sephora. There were a bunch of products on sale, this lipstick was one of them. I believe there were a bunch of colors on sale for about $5 each which I though was a great price, and I had heard some amazing things online and through word of mouth about these lip sticks. I am so glad I bought a few because I am totally in love with these! They glide on smoothly, feel great ( they don't dry out your lips if you put a lip primer or even a lip balm), and they smell a little like candy. Some people may be turned off by the smell since it's really sweet and fruity, but I enjoy it. I thought the colors were very true to the little displays they have on the bottom of the lipstick. The packaging is quite cute and elegant. The lipsticks are also quite long lasting, I think it lasted for at least a good 4 hours which is great because usually lips sticks wear off after 2-3 hours on me. It lasts a while but it doesn't dry out your lips which is great because dry lips aren't exactly hot. I also like how this product has a lot of shades to choose from, I think every one can find a perfect match for themselves. They range from nudes to dark plums, I think there was even a black one in the store! I think Sephora has been getting better and better with their product quality and their prices are still very reasonable. This is great for people who want to get something high end but for a little lower price. I would definitely repurchase these products and I hope to try out new colors.

I honestly do not care too much for this product. When I first bought this brush I found the bristles ok not too soft but I thought I would somehow wear into it after a few uses. That was not the case! I am so disappointed with this product. Let's start off with the texture, it's extremely rough, it feels like little needles on the skin, and when i tried to dip this into my press powder or blush it would cause too much product to be removed. Not only did this make a mess on my counter, it made me lose a ton of product too. Also the brush sheds like crazy! I washed the brush about once every 3 days with soap and olive oil, but used brush cleaner, and the shedding from this product was absolutely amazing. I mean I really can't believe the brush is still intact type of amazing. Also when I was using this product I would have brush hairs on my face. The brush was not even a cheap brush, I think it was about $25 including tax, so I thought I would have some type of quality. I could not even use this product after 3 weeks because of the terrible memories I made of it, and because I always feared the poor results I received when I did use the brush. The good thing about this brush is the size, that is the main reason I bought this brush. I saw the size of the brush and bought it because it looked convenient to travel with, but I was extremely disappointed. I know I sound really negative but I do not know how else to explain this product! I can honestly say my $8 drug store kabuki is on par if not greater than this product. Not worth the money, nor the experience. I do not recommend this product at all!

My friend was nice enough to gift this to me for the holidays, along with a bunch of other exclusive goodies from the body shop. Boy was this a treat! First off, the smell is not one of those really chemically sweet smells that remind me of artificial candy nor was it one of those stale smells like canned cranberry sauce, it is actually really difficult for me to describe the scent without butchering it. My words can do no justice, all I can say is you have to try this out if you have not. It smells really fresh but not over powering. Like most of the Body Shop scents it is supposed to mock a very natural smell, but it does smell a bit more sweet, maybe not as fresh as the other scents, but it is great for the holidays. It can be sort of seen as an aroma therapy sort of ordeal, it really relaxes the body and your sense of smell just feels so pampered with this product. I used this scent during a dinner party during the holiday season and was rewarded with so many compliments. I do have to pick up a few more just incase I run out of this bottle. I do not know if this is a limited edition for the holiday season or something because usually cranberry is used in seasonal products. I really hope it is not, anyhow I do not know the price of these products neither since it was a gift, but I do think I have tired something similar to this and it was more on the higher end of the price range spectrum. I do not know if it is appropriate to use this scent after the holidays though. Overall, this product would make your home feel really warm and welcoming during the holidays. It is a worthy investment.

I remember using this in the winter in Beijing. The winter is usually very dry and extremely cold so going outside will do very harsh things to your face. My normal moisturizers were no match to the weather but this was really good. I felt the results within the first two weeks which was really great. my skin did not feel as dry nor flakey. I love the price as well, it was very forgiving. Great Moisturizer and I look forward to using more of it in the future. I recommend this greatly for people who have sensitive skin, dry skin, or are just looking for a good bargain.

I finally understand the hype about this product. When I was in Hong Kong, a lot of my friends would recommend this product to me because it has a type of subtle slightly orange undertone that works very well with paler asian skin that has a yellow undertone. This product looks amazing on my skin and leaves a very natural glow. I do not like the brush the box comes with since i like to use my own brushes with applying make up since I find the result a bit more desirable. I had a hard time finding this blush in my area, I used to be absolutely obsessed with the other blushes by Benefit as well as the wonderful tints that can double up as a blush or lip tint/highlight. Anyhow, for a powder blush this is amazing it does not look powdery nor chalky and blends in very well with my skin. Some people may find the product to be a bit heavy because the pigmentation is so great, so a little bit goes a long way. Also please please please remember to have a light hand when apply this product, or use a tissue to dab off the excess so you won't look like a baboon behind. For the price, I think it is reasonable. I know some may find that benefit products are a bit expensive or more high end, but the quality is what you pay for. You do not need much product to see the results, so I feel like this is a great investment. I think it is a bit easier to get a hold of in the states as well, I had to go on a whole scavenger adventure to seek out this product in Hong Kong. It would be a great addition to your makeup collection.

I recently tried out this shampoo since I was on vacation and forgot to pack my own shampoo. It was on sale at my local CVS there was a 30% off deal so I decided to go with the classic care solution. First off, my hair quite healthy even thought it has been colored. I have very thing hair but it gets frizzy easily if there is humidity in the air. I have not tried too many Pantene products so I was unsure of the results I would receive from this product. I did not find this product amazing, as in I would not seek out this product or add it to my usual hair care routine type of deal, but I must say this product is pretty amazing for it's price. I did not find anything terrible about this product, it did make my hair feel very clean and refreshed, but did not add amazing shine nor smooth it out. I am pleased that it did not damage my hair, I am quite grateful about it actually. What I didn't really like about this product though was that It would leave my skin feeling really dry. As in the back of my neck and around my ears. I found it really odd because my hair did not feel dried out but areas around my head, would be dry. I do not feel as if I want to finish up using my bottle of shampoo, but I do not think other people have this problem so it could just be a personal thing. I do love the smell of the product since it does not smell to chemically or over powering, but the results were not what totally great, since I do not use pantene products, this is the first time I have tried something from them, maybe I had a default bottle or something? Do not get me wrong, I do think this is a good product though.
