I love this as a brow filler! I use it along with a brow powder to help set it & it lasts all day. It isn't very heavy, not waxy, and super easy to blend so you can get a nice, natural look for your brows as opposed to a drawn on look. As great of a brow pencil I think this is, I bet most wouldn't like it for an eyeliner. It doesn't deliver color as well as an eyeliner for some reason unless you use a lot. It doesn't smudge all over but it doesn't last too long either. It would work if you wanted a lighter, more natural look for your eyeliner.

I love that this formula is actually fragrance free because it doesn't interfere with any scented soaps or perfumes you might want to use. It does moisturize & absorbs really quickly so you don't need to use a lot. It works well for sensitive skin and skin prone to drying out. As well as this works, I still prefer baby oil/ olive oil to this; the only time I don't pass this up is when Sam's has a huge pack for really cheap, then I buy it and add in baby or olive oil (and sometimes a fragrance oil I like) to really boost the moisturizing power.

While there is quite a bit of colors to choose from, I find that this (and really, most other CoverGirl) eye shadows don't last very long on me. Even when I apply it wet or over a base or primer the color payoff just isn't up to par and it doesn't last.

I love this lipstick! It comes in lots of colors and finishes & the packaging is cute. It's super affordable yet lasts a good chunk of the day before you'll need to touch up. The consistency is nice- it's thick enough to be long lasting & deliver good coverage but not so thick as to feel cake-y and uncomfortable to wear. These lipsticks are also very pigmented (especially considering the price) so I don't really need to layer on the product for a good color payoff; I'll need about two coats max if I want an opaque finish.

This foundation feels so smooth & light that it feels like I'm not wearing makeup. It also has very good coverage and is easy to blend so I never look cakey when I put it on. It's not the most long lasting foundation I have tried but since I don't usually keep my make-up on for more than 10 or so hours, the lasting power isn't a huge concern for me. If you need it to last you like 16+ hours you'll need touch-ups though.

While these deodorants smell nice they aren't as strong as some other Secret brand deodorants. It doesn't give as much wetness protection as I would like so I only use this for the scent over Certain-Dri when I feel smelly since I don't need to worry about wetness with that antiperspirant. The scent doesn't last as long as other brands so if you don't need strong odor control this would be fine.

This deodorant does it's job. I like Certain-Dri better (and I use that instead now) since it's wetness control is a bit stronger but if you have sensitive skin then I'd use this instead. It won't keep you quite as dry for as long but it won't irritate skin. It will keep you dry, it smells nice, & works well on sensitive skin.

This antiperspirant actually does what it says & I love that it's unscented. There are only two reasons why it doesn't get a 10 out of 10: Firstly, it doesn't block BO so if that's a problem for you then you'll need to use something scented or something that blocks odor also. I have a weaker, pretty smelling deodorant for when I know I'll be getting smelly, like when I'm going to work out. Secondly, it can irritate your skin sometimes. My underarms aren't sensitive but sometimes it does make my skin feel uncomfortable so if you have sensitive skin then you might want to reconsider this products, but the pros far outweigh the cons for me.

The color and the packaging is pretty but other than that, this was a miss for me. I have this in Tiramisu & the color would look great on lots of tones. I know it's supposed to go one sheer and I usually wear sheer lip colors so that isn't a problem but I really had to layer it on to even reach a sheer wash of color. Maybe it's because my lips are dark? Oh, it's also quite moisturizing. As pretty as the color is though, I would have returned it (if only I had the gift receipt...) because of how strongly it smelled & tasted. I could literally taste it even without licking my lips. The weird thing is that scented cosmetics don't usually bother me. It has a very strong & chemical-y version of a fig scent and if it actually smelled like fig I would not mind. Also, for the price of this lipstick, I would expect that it would last longer than 1-2 hours.

My favorite thing about this brand would have to be the color & finish options available. The colors are super vibrant & they will last you a long time. The consistency of the polishes are very smooth & fluid without being too watery. You can get away with just a coat with some colors.
