I love the texture of this product - it blends on beautifully and has a natural, glowy finish, but the colors leave something to be desired in providing options for my very fair skin - most of them are too orangey, too dark, or too brown :-(

These are a quick, easy way to get a hit of natural colors on your cheeks. It gives a nice healthy glow and blends easily. Probably not the best for someone with oily or blemish-prone skin because of the slightly heavier, thicker texture.

Showoffs come in some very pretty and flattering colors for fair skin tones (can't speak to others as my skin hasn't ever not been fair). My major gripe is how messy they are to use - its tough not to end up with sparkly powder everywhere. The staying power is pretty decent though, and the colors, as mentioned, are lovely.

This stick isn't really non-greasy and I definitely wouldn't suggest using it on really oily or breakout-prone skin unless you want to look like a greaseball, but its a really handy thing to carry around and have in case you get caught without sunscreen or need to refresh on the go.

I use this conditioner every day. I know I'm not really supposed to wash my hair every day, but since I work out most days, its just too gross not to. I use this on all of my hair except the roots, and it really keeps my hair soft and healthy and shiny better than anything else I've tried.

I found this lip balm to be really moisturizing, but not overly greasy. I love that it has effective sunscreen. I'm not crazy about most of the colors for very fair skin like mine, but some are nice.

Now, my lashes are pretty long to begin with, but I found this tended to really clump up and look super-obvious.

I use this mascara every single day. Usually, the extra mascara needs to be wiped off the wand to avoid clumpy-ness. But I love how the little wand lets me reach in and get all the hard-to-reach lashes. I end up with long, nicely defined lashes :-)

This powder really sets my makeup on my slightly oily skin and extends the wear of my whole face for hours. It looks really polished when I put it on, without being overly powdery or heavy-looking. Love it!

Invest in a good oil- or silicone-based eye makeup remover, and then go get some of this stuff. It comes in some gorgeous colors (my favorites are powerplum and dress khakis), and boy does it stay put. All day long, and it doesn't budge. Applies smoothly (make sure to wipe the excess of the brush), sets quickly, and then comes off only when you want it to. Highly recommended.
