Here are all my reviews:

I got two of these in a set and since I was on auto-delivery, I have continued to receive two in a set every few months. The first one I tried was a gorgeous shade of midnight blue. However, the application was chalky, uneven, and the actual liner itself is just too dry to get a good line out of it, and sharpening it does not help in any way. A lot of the reviews for this liner aren't very positive on other sites, and there's obviously a reason for that. Most of them are sayin the same things I'm saying, and they actually gave the liner more effort than I did. I don't know if the formula has gotten better in the year or so since it's been out, but I'm sticking with the Big & Bright liner for now which does exactly what I want it to. I would never willingly buy this product on its own, that's for sure!!

I received this from Total Beauty to use and review. When it arrived I'd completely forgotten I'd agreed to using it, but I started right away since I was already between products and had not commtted to anything else. This is probably the best eye cream I've ever used, and I feel like finding the right one is hard. I love the applicator tip. It's cooling and gentle (especially after a long day and as a contact lens wearer as well), and yes, even though I'm "trained" to apply it differently, I went with it. I'm only using this product at night because it's SO moisturizing that using it in the morning is a waste of product. With that said, I feel like my skin is improved through using this. I will purchase this when I run out and for me, I never thought Mary Kay would ever put out a product I loved more than Satin Hands, but they have indeed done it. I don't have fine lines or dark circles, so I cannot attest to how it works in regard to those issues, but I feel like this is a GREAT preventative measure and while it's more expensive than what I might normally use, it's worth it. .

I got this in a New Beauty Test Tube. I LOVE it. It smells so nice and clean (think, fresh citrus) and definitely helps you extend the time between washings, though I don't like to go too long since product build-up isn't pretty. All in all, this is a slightly higher quality dry shampoo, but I'm not convinced that they aren't all the same to some extent.

I purchased this product very inexpensively and I have to agree with another reviewer when she said it was too blue on fair skin. It absolutely is. Beyond that, it's just another sparkly lip gloss and while it is minty, there are plenty of other minty lip glosses from Bath & Body Works & Victoria's Secret that will look a lot better when applied.

I'm forever in search of the perfect hand cream. I purchased this product about two years ago when my usual brand was out of stock. I've been a repeat customer ever since. This isn't a super fabulous lotion to use during the winter months, especially if your hands start to become "winter skin", but this is great the rest of the year and I like that it's nourishing my cuticles since I don't always have Argan Oil on hand when I'm applying lotion. This is an inexpensive, extremely decent solution to hands that cannot seem to get enough moisture. I would love one that was a bit thicker for night-time though, as I'd like a little more in the deep moisturization category.

When this first came out I was in love with it. It is one of the sexiest scents, but I can no longer wear it because it can become a bit cloying if you suffer from migraines and are sensitive to fragrance. I do still think it's a nice one to wear though. It always reminds me of summer. =)

This is one of those fragrances that is on my list of things I will NEVER use. I'm not sure why, but it smells a bit Grandma-ish to me. People always say it's a fresh & clean fragrance, but I don't perceive it that way. I'm a big fan of Pure Grace, Baby Grace, Inner Grace, and Summer Grace, but this is one I cannot wear. I can't stand to be in the same room with a person that has it on either.

I like the idea of this product, but I was absolutely horrified when I saw how dark it is right out of the bottle. For extremely fair-skinned women, this is not the product you want on your face. You will absolutely look like you're wearing a mask. Thankfully, I got this in a Perricone MD trial kit with several other products (The Face Finishing Moisturizer is AMAZING!), otherwise I wouldn't have kept it. I tried it on the back of my hand and it was still about 20 shades too dark. Even just a tiny amount would have been a disaster on my face. Had to take a huge pass on this product. If you're thinking about trying it, don't believe the "one color suits all" nonsense for a single second because I assure you, that is not the truth. .

I've been using this for about a month or so and I love it. It's taken the place of my usual primer (Smashbox Photo Finish or Bare Minerals Prime Time). This is the first beauty balm I've tried and I'm completely on the fence in regard to checking others out because this stuff works so well. I have good skin to begin with, maybe that's why I feel it's performing well, but it evens out my complexion and is so smooth when applied. It leaves my skin so silky. It's dry in less than 30 seconds, which is a huge bonus as well. I'm usually applying this after my moisturizer that has SPF 20, but like the previous reviewer, I totally agree that this should have SPF in the formula as standard practice. No one should be leaving the house without it, no matter their coloring, age, or where they live, a product like this should have it without customers having to ask for it, absolutely. For me, that's the biggest con to this product, but since I'm adding additional SPF over it with my tinted moisturizer, it's not that big an issue, but it should still be in there for those that aren't heavy SPF users like I am. Since starting to use this product I have been able to use significantly less concealer and my skin is now foundation optional. I don't have any wrinkles or tone issues, so that might be why I feel it's a high performer. Yes, this is a bit expensive, but even with daily use, you shouldn't need to use a whole lot of it. I find that applying it with a make-up sponge helps me use 75% less during the application process, plus the sponge really helps get the blendability that I desire. I highly recommend searching for this on Ebay in a trial tube before committing to the full size, which is what I did. If I'd hated it, I wouldn't have purchased it beyond the trial tube, which lasted a lot longer than I thought it would. So, for someone who'd never used a beauty balm before, this stuff rocks, but if you're going to use it make sure you have your own SPF action going on because there isn't any in here and there should be. Beyond that, shop around a bit for it to save a little money and allows you to use a fantastic product at a better price.

I was excited to try this as soon as it was released. It's extremely smoothing and smells divine. It's a great unisex scent. I don't think it's truly "volumizing" on its own, but I do like it as a daily conditioner.
