I don't allow myself very much money for makeup, and after a lot of research, this is one of the few expensive things I have ever allowed myself to buy. But it is definitely worth it. This product is very versatile, as you can apply it dry with a brush, or you can apply this with a damp sponge for a more flawless, full coverage finish. I prefer to use it in its powder form, as I don't like to deal with the damp sponge too often, unless I am going out. But this powder makeup gives excellent coverage!! I only need the tiniest bit of concealer along with this to give me a great everyday look. I've also been using this for quite a while and it looks like i've barely put a dent in it. This powder is great at controlling my oiliness throughout the day and keeps me looking very matte. When I'm not as lazy to do my makeup and I actually use a damp sponge with this product, I find that I sometimes don't even need concealer (definite plus!) . Another thing I noticed about this powder was that it didn't leave much bulidup or cake up on my face. A lot of times with powders, if I accidently rub my face during the day, I find that a lot of the product comes off on my fingers . But not this! It left my skin quite smooth and free of any buildup. Also, while I was buying this, I also noticed that there was a great variety of shades, so if you have trouble finding your shade, I would definitely recommend checking out this product!

I am in LOVE with this product. I had finally decided to try it out after walking past it in stores for a couple of years. I finally decided to give it a try this summer, and so far, it's going great. At first, I thought it wasn't working, because it is definitely subtle. Also, I wasn't using this everyday, I was using it maybe every other day or ever 3 days, and I wasn't getting results. I decided to start using it everyday and that's when I definitely started to notice the nice color that my skin had built. This product definitely makes me a couple of shades darker than I actually am, and it evens out my skin tone. It doesn't have a nasty self tanning smell, the smell is actually quite pleasant. There's something that's almost fruity to it. I would recommend this if you are not ready to self tan just yet (like I am!), but you want a little more color for the summer or year round! I wouldn't recommend this if you are looking to get noticeably tan right away, because for me, it took a few days for me to notice the slightly tanner color I was turning. Overall a great product, and I am gonna keep using this for a while. This product is very affordable and can be found at a number of different drugstores and retailers like target and walmart. I've also seen a lot of coupons for this brand in the weekly ad that I get! I've also heard that if you get one shade up, it'll help! For example, my shade is actually the light to medium one, but I decided to purchase the medium to dark one, just so that it'll make a bigger and more noticeable effect on my skin. I use this with the matching facial moisturizer so that my whole body and face will gradually tan. :)

I got this a few weeks ago, and i've been trying to use it up since then. The plus side of this mascara is the fact that it doesn't clump, just like it claims. I apply a couple of coats of this, and I find my lashes still clump free. I don't find my lashes to be longer when I wear this, so it doesn't do so well in the lengthening department. The main issue I have with this mascara is with its ability to hold a curl. It doesn't hold a curl AT ALL. I have very hard to curl lashes, and I have to use an eyelash curler. For my lashes, I have to have a mascara that can hold that curl otherwise my eyelashes point straight down. And this doesn't do that at all. Within 30 seconds of application of this mascara, the curl in my lashes is gone completely. This would be a decent mascara if only it could hold the curl. Don't bother with this unless your eyelashes are already flawless!

I LOVEEE this mascara! I've tried a lot of mascaras over the years, and i've never loved any mascara as much as this one! I received this mascara in a beauty box, and I'm so glad. Modelco doesn't seem to be a super well known brand, but their products are awesome (I have a lip gloss from them as well). This mascara is very natural looking. The brush separates and defines the lashes very well, and they don't end up looking spider-y. You can never put enough of this on, either. You can do several coats and it doesn't clump up on your lashes. It's not the best lengthening mascara. I only notice a little bit more length in my lashes after applying this mascara. It also holds a curl very well. My lashes usually droop after a few hours no matter what mascara I use, but this one held up pretty well throughout the day. I also find that this mascara works pretty well on the lower lashes as well since it doesn't clump up or lengthen too much. Since it's a drier formula, I also find that it lasts pretty long. I've had mine for much longer than any person should own a mascara, but it still works great! I will definitely continue to purchase this mascara. It's a must try! Also, like one of the other reviews said, this mascara isn't TOO black for everyday wear.

I honestly don't know why everyone raves about these essie nail polishes. I usually get sucked into the essie polishes because of the beautiful colors that they have. Their colors are unique and pretty, and sometimes I can't help but buy it. That being said, I am usually disappointed with the quality of them when I try them on at home. I find that most of the time, they're very streaky and hard to work with. They don't spread out on the nail right and clump up sometimes. Other times, especially with the paler colors, they're usually very think and not very pigmented at all. With the lighter colors, I find that I need a lot more coats than i would normally use. I usually like to do 2 coats maximum. More than two coats, and I get impatient. The pale essie colors require at least several coats. There are some colors from essie that I love and I find do have a good consistency and are very easy to apply and beautiful. But overall as a brand, the formula and application that is needed is very inconsistent and I usually find that it's just not worth it to buy an essie nail polish. Essie polishes are usually a hit or miss for me. I have about 5 full size, and maybe 10 mini polishes. If you ask for my recommendation, I'd say Wild Thang and Smooth Sailing.

I'm a HUGE fan of Urban Decay eyeshadows! It all started when I first bought the Naked Palette (the original). Since then, my love for Urban Decay Eyeshadows have steadily increased. I've found that all of the shadows that I have tried from this brand are all super pigmented, beautiful, long-lasting, and very easy to apply. My personal favorites for everyday use are the ones I have in the Naked Palette called Sin, Half Baked, Buck, and Naked. I like their matte eyeshadows, as well as their metallic/shimmery ones. I'm not a huge fan of the ones that have a lot of chunky glitter in them, just because they create fallout and in general aren't my favorite type of eyeshadows. The majority of the shadows I've tried go on the eye very smooth, and aren't chalky. They are not buttery in any way like the WetnWild eyeshadows either (which I also love). The only down side is the price on these shadows. But it's really worth it if you get a palette like the naked palettes! I've pretty much been using urban decay eyeshadows for a while now, I haven't even touched any of my other eyshadows! If you get the single eyeshadows, urban decay also has a "make your own" palette, where you can pop out the eyeshadows from the singles packaging and put them in a palette. These eyeshadows are a huge plus and I would definitely recommend this!

I was excited after getting this kit because it was well rounded and it was a full kit from start to finish. But this was pretty terrible. I tried this a few times, and stopped using it since then. The wax is very hard to work with. It has to be just right for the waxing to turn out okay, but to get it at that right consistency and heat was just a mess. If it wasn't at the right consistency, it would just be a mess. The wax stuck to my skin and wouldn't come off on the cloth strips, and once, it left my skin BLEEDING! I wouldn't recommend this at all. In fact, I would tell everyone to steer clear of this product. I couldn't even get through a third of this product before I decided to just toss it out and try something else. It left the skin on my underarms irritated, red, and a rubbed-raw feeling. Not at all pleasant. Try the Veet wax strips that already have the wax on them if you want an easy and quick wax. The only plus thing from this kit, which is the only reason it got more than zero stars is the azulene finishing oil that came with it. I use the oil after my veet wax strips, and it takes off a lot of the excess oil that's still there.

It's important to mention that this is NOT a makeup wipe! This doesn't perform that well on makeup, especially if you're wearing a full face of makeup, and it makes the eyes REALLY sting and hurt. Don't use on the eye area! After this failed for me as a makeup wipe, I used it for just daily cleansing and for a little refreshment when days got too hot. I liked this cleansing wipe for that purpose. It was refreshing, and the smell of the grapefruit really wakes you up and smells good. I wouldn't purchase these again, just because I would rather have a wipe that removes my makeup.

These were just average. They didn't do a good job of removing all my makeup. I only wear some concealer, a little powder, and mascara. The toughest part was the mascara. My mascara didn't come off easily, and the formula for these wipes made my eyes sting slightly. If you want to get a makeup wipe from this brand, try the yes to blueberries one. It has a better smell, and doesn't make my eyes sting as much.

I love this product as a tinted lip balm. Personally, I think the moisture this product gives your lips is just okay, it's not too great, and it's not terrible. It feels very nice when you first apply, and very moisturizing, but it wears of pretty fast, and you have to reapply often or your lips will dry out. I have several of the shades, and I particularly love the original, Cherry Me, and Melon Mania. I find the last two give a very nice tint with some color to the lips, and that I don't need any lip gloss or lipstick when I wear this. I have pretty pigmented lips naturally, but the Cherry Me shade gives my lips a "your lips but better" look. Same for Melon Mania, but not as noticeable. I love that I can apply this product without having to use a mirror. The tint is light enough so that it won't show if you go outside the line of your lips. I also love the smell to this product. I would only recommend this if you want some color, but no hassle, and if you don't mind reapplying this throughout the day. Definitely worth the hype, but one star knocked off because i have to reapply often. You can usually find these for a good deal!
