"I've tried so many lip balms that don't really do anything, and I have to say this is the best lip balm I've ever used. I use it on myself and I use it on clients under their lip colors. The avocado oil and shea butter are supermoisturizing, and the SPF 25 helps to protect your lips when in the sun. I stock up on these, especially when they have the holiday multi-packs of them!"

"This is the richest, inkiest, blackest pencil eyeliner you'll ever try. This is great for smudging into the lash line for a sultry effect and also has incredible staying power in the waterline. It's a must for achieving that perfect smoky eye."

"Very few palettes actually make the cut for the travel makeup bag. The two highlighters complement most skin tones, the bronzer warms up the skin beautifully, and the blush imparts a nice flush to the cheeks. The highlighters and bronzer also do double duty as beautiful eye shadow and contour shades. It's perfect for achieving that dewy, bronzed glow."

"An oldie but a goodie. No matter how many different concealers I've tried over the years, I always come back to this. It's the best for erasing under-eye darkness, camouflaging imperfections, and perfecting the skin. It's all you need to achieve fresh, radiant skin."
