Avon Instant Pedicure Dry Nail Enamel Strips

Other brand's work better

I love the concept. They're great when you want a great mani or pedi but don't have the time to wait for polish to dry but I found that these didn't go on as smoothly as other brands I've tried. Even some generic brands worked better.

Mitchum Smart Solid Clinical Performance

Won't come off on dark clothes.

I bought this product because it boasted that it wouldn't rub off and show on my dark colored clothes (which is what I usually wear) and they're right it doesn't. I like the scent it's nice and fresh, unfortunately it doesn't keep me dry as some of the other products I've tried.

Blistex Silk & Shine

So soft and shiney!!!

I love this stuff, I have it stashed everywhere (coat pockets, purse, even by my computer). It's great for keeping your lips nice and soft with a hint of shine. Perfect kissable lips every time.

Benefit Brow Zings

Wow!

i love this kit, it makes such a huge difference in my look. On a daily basis I usually opt for a very natural look and this kit helps me seem very put together without a lot of product. My hair is a dark brown with hints of auburn and the medium kit was perfect. I bought it after I went and got my eyebrows waxed at the brow bar and she demoed this on me after wards. I was sold.

Benefit Sugarbomb

Pale like me.

If you're pale like me this is the blush you've been looking for! No matter how I seem to blend the colors I always get a perfect light flush. My fiance loves it when I wear it. Won't stand out too much and goes on nicely. A great investment.

Benefit Badgal Plum Mascara

Ehhh

When I applied this in the store I thought it made my green eyes pop, and maybe I just got a lemon when I bought it but I didn't get the nice plum color at home and the brush seemed to make my lashes clump together. I'm usually a fan of Benefit products but this one didn't really do it for me.

Benefit "hello flawless!"

Not bad, but too dark for me.

I have very fair skin and I don't tan. I bought this because in the store it looked like she had found one that matched my skin tone, but as soon as I went out into natural light I could tell it was a few shades too dark. It has a nice consistency and blends well, but I wish they had a few more shades to choose from.

Benefit Stay Don't Stray

A make-up bag staple

I love this product. It's primarily advertised as a primer for eyeshadow, but the girl at the Benefit counter taught me the benefit of using it as a primer for spot treatments with concealer. It works great as an eyeshadow primer (although I usually use my Nyx eyeshadow primer) but it can't be beat for keeping your concealer in place. It lasts all day without rubbing off or flaking. Great product!!!

Benefit That Girl

Works great!

"That Gal" by Benefit is a great primer, it made my skin nice and soft, with a subtle glow (without being too shimmery). Great for everyday and it has a nice berry scent that isn't too overpowering. Great under make-up or on it's own if you have the complexion to pull it off. It may seem a bit pricey but it's one of the better primers I've tried.

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Secret Weapon Flawless Finishing Creme

Not the best I've tried but works well for the price

The headline says it all, it works- kinda I still saw frizz and if I tried to touch up my hair with it it ended up looking greasy. Not bad for the price though, especially if the humidity isn't too bad. I keep some on hand for when my usual product is running low.
