I've been using this shadow FOR YEARS. I'm currently using "Stylish Smokes" and use three of the colors in the package. There's always one color out of the four that is really sparkly and shimmery, which I don't use, so it goes to waste. But other than that, I love these shadows. The color payoff is HUGE ~ deep, dark and beautiful color, smooth application and excellent blendability. I prefer to use the sponge-tip applicators that come with it....they seem to deliver more color per application. I blend with a brush afterwards. I've tried using a brush to apply, but the color goes on too weak. As a fan of a darker smoky eye that is easy and simple, Maybelline New York shadows win every time.

I'm supposedly blessed with a full, Angelina Jolie-ish pout but my lips are always getting chapped and dry, which makes me just want to hide them. So I always stayed away from lipstick. Until I found Butter Shine. It's a perfect lipstick for non-lipstick users! The name suits the product perfectly. The formula, packaged in a gorgeous bamboo-inspired silver tube, is moist and soft and goes on smoothly, almost like a balm. It's exceedingly comfortable to wear and so easy to apply, not dry or heavy-feeling. It gives your lips a subtle, glossy shine and the colors are so beautiful. However, this lipstick does NOT have staying power. But it's such a pleasure to apply, who cares? I use Delovely ~ a gorgeous pinkish-nude ~ and also have a tube of Perfect Plum.

I just bought this two days ago. Not a fan. The brush is flat, supposedly to do something wonderful, but I can't figure out what. The mascara initally came out and the wand was barely coated and then, with the second swipe, the wand was CLUMPED with mascara! So, of course my lashes looked very clumped. They were caked with mascara and spidery-looking when it dried. I normally use a clean spooly brush to separate after applying any mascara, but even that did nothing to help! The color is a beautiful, glossy black, but that's about this mascara's only redeeming quality. Won't be buying this again.

St. Ives Fresh Skin Invigorating Apricot Scrub
Blemish & Blackhead Medicated Apricot Scrub Does Wonders
I love this stuff and it's always very inexpensive. I have very normal skin that is not sensitive and can stand up to a lot of exfoliation. This stuff delivers! Creamy yet grainy enough to allow for some excellent scrubbing ~ don't know how much the salicyclic acid works on my acne ~ it may really be just the thorough exfoliating you get with this product. I use this in the shower (it's soooo much easier to rinse away!) and I come out with smooth, fresh skin that feel really clean. If you do have sensitve skin, DO NOT USE THIS. I have a friend with sensitive skin who asked to use mine and she ended up with actual SCRATCHES on her face! But I love a good, deep scrub and for my particular skin, this works great.

All the bases have been pretty much covered in the other reviews, so I'll share my Vaseline tip. I slick this on my lips IMMEDIATELY after I brush my teeth when my lip skin is plumped and moist....the Vaseline soaks right in and keeps them very soft. It's such an ingrained habit.....and it keeps my lips looking beautiful. And it's my preferred go-to lip balm all day long....I also have it in tube form. One of the best basic beauty must-haves ever made.

Just bought this spur of the moment the other night....was heading to a concert and I forgot my usual Blistex Silk&Shine. It was pricier than my usual balm (maybe b/c it's "natural") but the color ~ Sweet Pink ~ was pretty and subtle. Lots of shine, no stickiness....without eating or drinking, it lasted about 45 minutes before I felt the need to apply again. I'm usually not a lipstick/lipgloss girl, but I do like this.

I have very long, naturally straight black hair that is healthy & normally very light-reflective. So I know immediately if a product is making it look dull. I ran out and just grabbed the Vibrant Shine S&C, since they were out of my usual Suave Humectant. And whoa ~ this stuff delivers AMAZING results! My hair is impossibly smooth & silky with an incredible shine. People have started stopping me to ask what I use on my hair. :)

This shampoo, along with its conditioner partner, work beautifully on my hair. Am just using my first bottle of this and so far, it's excellent! And it smells very subtle and nice.

I have dry skin that tends to get ashy and flaky if I don't regularly moisturize after showering. I use a strong skin buffer in the shower with my shower cream, and then apply this lotion on my damp skin and it completely soaks in while I brush my teeth and dry my hair. Not greasy or slimy in any way. I especially like it because it's inexpensive, but it really does last ALL DAY. And I have dry skin! I like the cocoa butter formula because it's rich and creamy and smells delicious, but isn't overpowering like some other cocoa butters - the fragrance disappears quickly, and doesn't interfere with my regular perfume. I use lotion everyday and this one is excellent for the money.

bareMinerals Flawless Definition Curl & Lengthen Mascara
Flawless Definition Is All You Get With This Mascara...
It's true to its' name...flawless definition and excellent separation make this a great everyday mascara. But if you're looking for length or major fullness, it's not here. The brush is amazing and I was shocked at how well it separated my lashes. They looked really natural and the tapered wand gave incredible coverage to even my tiniest lashes. But for sheer ooomph in length or fullness, I'd suggest a mascara dedicated to those looks. That being said, this IS a great mascara for an everyday, very natural look!
