I can't get over how amazing this mascara is. It's not only the best drugstore mascara I've ever tried, it's one of the best I've ever tried even when I include the really expensive ones. First of all, they really mean it when they say waterproof. I can go swimming for HOURS and it'll still be on my lashes, and they'll still be super full and long looking. It really almost does make me look like I'm wearing false lashes. I don't see how anyone could find anything to complain about in this mascara. It's just so great. This formula never clumps, and never gives me the dreaded spider legs look. It looks really natural and pretty. I don't plan on switching mascaras for a really long time now that I've found this. I use it on a daily basis. It's a must-buy for anyone who uses mascara! I recommend it 100%

Oh my god I love Ecotools SO much! Every single one of their brushes are amazingly high quality for the price. This one doesn't disappoint at all. It's probably the single softest brush I've ever felt in my entire life! It applies powder or blush really evenly, and it just feels so good on your face! I usually hate powder brushes because they're made out of scratchy natural hair, but this one is just...amazing. One of my absolute favorite things is they DO NOT SHED. At ALL. It's one of the worst things when you've already got foundation on your face and all of a sudden a few bristles come off on your face and you have to screw up your foundation just to get them off. You don't have to do that at ALL with this brush. I've had it for several years now and it hasn't shown any noticeable signs of wear even though I use it on a daily basis. I forgot to mention earlier how dense the brushes are. Usually for a brush this cheap, there are hardly enough bristles to get the job done. This isn't the case with this one (or any other Ecotools brushes I've ever tried). I honestly think they could get away with selling this brush for 30 dollars, but I'm sure glad they don't. I just can't believe how inexpensive this brush is for the quality you get! It's my absolute favorite brush and I recommend it for everyone! You will NOT be disappointed.

I love this brush! It's by far one of the best concealer brushes I've ever tried. It's a little pricy, but it's completely worth it! You get great coverage, and it never streaks! I really like how the tip is tapered towards the top so I can get really close to the inner corners of my eye instead of trying to blend it with my fingers like you have to do with some other concealer brushes. You can also get really close to your lower lashline without any harsh lines! The fact that the brush is flat is really nice too! It makes it even less prone to streaking. I wish the tips were a little bit softer, but overall it's a great brush and it's definitely worth the price.

My lips almost look metallic! And not in the good way. The shimmer is more like glitter, and there's way too much of it. I've never found a lip balm to look chalky, but this definitely does. It doesn't even moisturize my lips! It's gritty, chalky, and doesn't feel good. It's just not cute. When I went to re-apply it halfway through the day it looked terrible and there were sparkles ALL over the place. I feel like it was designed with little kids in mind. There's also the fact that it tastes and smells like medicine. Ugh, it's one of the worst balms I've ever tried. Don't buy it!

I saw the packaging on this, and I immediately bought 3 of them. It's just so cute! I thought it would be a little bit awkward applying it because of the shape of the balm, but it wasn't at all! It makes my lips super soft, and it smells super nice! The mint one especially feels really good on my lips. It's not THE best when it comes to moisturizing, but it gets the job done decently, and it's just so cute that I have to keep using it! I don't get why people complain about it feeling waxy, since it's a lip balm and they all feel exactly like that. They all have a different scent (depending on the color you buy) and the Lemon one is by far my favorite. They also taste like what they smell, but it's not an overwhelming medicine-y taste. It's really light and I really like it. I honestly keep coming back to these because they're so adorable, and I can kind of take them anywhere since they're relatively small. They also last just about forever! I've had a Sweet Mint one for over a year now, and I still have a considerable amount left even though I use it almost daily (you do have to reapply this balm a lot though, but I didn't find it to be a problem). I recommend this product, and since they're so cheap I don't see how it wouldn't be worth it!

I picked up this powder because I needed something new (my old powder wasn't very good) and I wasn't really sure what to expect. Maybelline is kind of hit-and-miss with some of their products. I was pleasantly surprised with how good this powder is. They actually have a shade light enough for me (which is rare, even with higher end expensive brands) and it covers really well. It also controls shine, which a lot of powders don't seem to be able to do. It's super soft but didn't look chalky (which seems to be a theme when it comes to inexpensive powders) at all. I definitely recommend it! For the price, it's kind of amazing! It's one of the best drugstore powders I've ever tried. I'd buy it again.

I bought this as a quick, cheap powder because I ran out of my more expensive powder, and you definitely get what you pay for. It's a good powder if you don't have oily skin. I have combination/oily skin and it doesn't really do much to control shine, but it definitely does cover and even out your skin. I was also able to find a shade that's actually pale enough for me - a rare thing when it comes to powders since I'm so extremely pale, and it wasn't too yellow either (that's another HUGE problem with makeup for me). I prefer more expensive higher-end products, but this is a good product if you need something fast. Also, I don't like the little pad that comes with it, so I just use a powder brush which seems to make the powder go on a lot more evenly. The pad makes it difficult to apply.

I do like this mascara. It never clumps and makes your lashes look clean, even, and separated, but it really doesn't make your lashes longer. It takes at least 2 coats to notice any change, and it wasn't much. I already have long lashes so I'm fine with this mascara, but I can see how you would hate it if you had shorter lashes. On the bright side, it doesn't flake and it lasts for a very long time.

I usually love mascaras from this line, and this one does a relatively good job at covering my lashes and making them appear fuller, but it flakes really badly! I so much as touch my lashes, and it comes off! The brush is nice though. It's something I use exclusively for my lower lashes.

This is my go-to palette for all my eyeshadow needs. I tend to switch between neutral eyeshadow and the super bright stuff, and this palette has both! The colors are just so fun! And they're typical amazing Urban Decay quality. They're so pigmented and satiny and go on super smooth. They also blend well. Did I mention the packaging is adorable? I don't use the little sponge-tip applicators that come with the palette, because they just can't compare to brushes, but they don't take away from the amazingness of this palette. It's totally worth the price!
