Here are all my reviews:

Through the first few uses, I thought it was just me. The original formula was too heavy and my lashes didn't agree, so to the waterproof I went. However, this formula seems even MORE heavy and wet, and did absolutely no curling! Though still inexpensive, I wish I read all the reviews first before I tried it!

I've used this scrub down to the last squeeze in the tub, and my blackheads are indeed still partying it up on my nose. The scrub itself had a thick consistency filled with grains that were not very fine, so it made for a scratchy scrub too. Eugh! I did like the cooling feeling it gave while I used it in the shower, but if I left it on too long, it started burning on my face! Ladies sensitive to fragrances also beware; the smell was pleasant enough, but still comes off strong!

With two concealing shades and a redness neutralizer, this palette is my life saver. The formula is well pigmented, creamy, and it dries down to a satin texture that doesn't dry out then cake under my eyes. Even the setting powder is super smooth and finely milled for a flawless finish! Overall, extreme love for this palette. I'm also very glad they decided to tossed the included brushes in the new batch, making the whole thing that much more portable!

I got this in Beige Blast and my honest opinion is: ugh. The formula ran incredibly thin and extremely streaky; completely different from the reviews I've read. Nothing I tried worked! I love the wide brush, but it also made the thin polish run towards my nail grooves like crazy! For a professional who knows nail polish, this may work wonders. However, for an amateur such as I, I am definitely better off with a better brand!

In a nutshell, this is a great lipstick! It's got so much color, it goes on so smooth and creamy, it's not drying, it lasts, sweet sleek packaging, and so many colors for me to play around with at a drugstore price! What else in the world could a girl want?

This balm is great! Hands down my favorite so far. It moisturizes, it's tasteless (so there's no temptation to lick my lips and chap them), the color is subtle, it's all natural, and I love the packaging! Emphasis on the moisturizing bit; this balm would last for hours and even when it did fade away, my lips are soft with a nice natural color.

I still prefer this over original Happy, hands down; mostly because the first spray doesn't feel like a orange bomb blowing up in my nose. The florals and citruses have traded places here as the more prominent notes in my opinion, and I love it! It's still Happy, but with a nice, more girly emphasis. It stays well, but the scent does settle down a lot, into a smaller radius of scent that surrounds me personally.

Happy straight out of the bottle has always been a serious assault on my senses. The first sniff has a very overpoweringly sharp citrus, like oranges grew claws and crawled up my nose. However, once this fragrance has settled on my skin, I can't help but love it. It's warm and...happy! The (now much lesser) citrus is uplifting, refreshing and more prominent florals make it pretty, but only after the scent calms down.

This super creamy lotion is so great for my flaky winter hands! And the awesome array of fragrances B&BW puts into these just has me reapplying over and over, even though one application a day is pretty much enough for my toughest dry spots. LOVE!

Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Correcting Pebbles
Sadly, this is no dupe for Meteorites.
While I typically enjoy the quality of PF's makeup, the pebbles were simply a no. I didn't see anything in terms of correction or brightening of my skin, there was just a bit of a frosty sheen that covered everything. I did notice a less oily sheen around my T-zone, though. I also have a bone to pick with the packaging: the included brush just stinks! Even for a drugstore powder the quality is just horrendous! Come on! Thank goodness for the extra puff, however, but serious; lose the brush, rework the formula. I had high hopes for these...
