The quality of this product is great. It has a precision tip for creating fake hairs and even filling in the brow. It says it is a Universal color where anyone can use it and get the correct color for their hair but I disagree with that. It is more of a taupe/brown shade best for brunettes and dark brown hair. It could be a little too dark for platinum blonds and auburn redheads. It does have an automatic twister so you dont have to keep sharpening it, but it does not last very long. I used it for about a month everyday and it was already gone! For that price, to me it isnt worth it =( I would rather save my money and use a comparable alternative for my brows than go broke. The tip is pretty hard so if you are used to using powder pencils then this would seem a little harsh.

Pros: Very lightweight formula - doesn't sit on top of the skin - skin didn't feel greasy - pump packaging for keeping sanitary - brightened the skin a little - smelled nice, faint sunscreen smell, went away after a few minutes - affordable price point - easily available in multiple stores Cons: Only 15 SPF, would have preferred at least 30 - chemical SPF instead of physical SPF - didn't do all it claimed to do (5 factors) - not travel friendly (no cap, only turning the pump to close and open) - no ideal for dry/sensitive skin Overall: I probably wouldn't use this product on a daily basis for sun protection because of the low SPF. It did have a nice formula, it was very lightweight so I think this would work fine for people with normal/combo skin. Its a good moisturizer to have for additional moisture, but on its on, with my dry skin I need something a little more heavy duty. Love the concept, but fell short in a few areas.

Most of their palettes are very shimmery and the color payoff isnt the best. They come on very sheer so you need to use a primer before applying. The color combinations in my opinion arent very practical, but do-able.. They do last pretty long though throughout the day. I think for getting 5 eyeshadows its a good value if you use all 5 of the colors.

I bought two of these cute little lip balms and at first liked them A LOT! After about a week, I noticed that it made my lips peel! What the..? Anyways, I do like the look of 'Pink Punch' which is a soft fuchsia color, great for when you don't have time to do makeup in the morning, but want a little pop of color. It isn't as moisturizing as I would have hoped, and it doesn't last to long throughout the day. The packaging is spot on, very cute, but needs a little work on the product itself.

I really like the look and feel of this product. After using the HD Liquid Foundation, this powder helps to take away shine but doesn't have that powdery look that some finishing powders. It has a nice and natural look to it, like your skin just got smoother within 5 seconds. However, do not over powder your face with this because it will leave a white layer all over your face. Great for use in photo shoots and wedding photos. Lasts at least 6 hrs without reapplication. Feels great on skin and since it is finely milled, you don't see the powder, it kind of just melts right in. It can be a little messy, but I just tap off the excess and then after putting the cap back on, I will shake off any powder that got in between the cap and the edges so it doesnt spill the next time I open it. Highly recommended.

I thought this moisturizer would be great for my sensitive skin, but I felt like it just sat on top of my skin instead of absorbing.. It's very thick and in a jar so I feel like I don't have as much control over how much product I pick up. It didn't moisturize very well and instead made me feel greasy and shiny. I tried it on my body too and it made me feel kind of sticky. I don't think I will be using this product in the future =(

I got the one that is in the tube so that I could use it on my face, instead of the one in the pump. I think it's a good moisturizer for daily use. Its not thick at all and it smooths over my face very evenly. It tends to fully dry within about 10 minutes and it doesn't make me feel greasy or oily at all. My nose tends to peel a lot because I am in the sun often, and this moisturizer has worked to keep my nose from peeling so far. Only downfall is that it doesn't have SPF in it, so I put my sunscreen on after this moisturizer. I will probably switch to using this only at night because of that reason and may even try the one with SPF for daytime use. Overall, great for face, not so much body. Doesn't feel oily and greasy. Price is pretty affordable. And I only use about a pea size to cover my whole face and neck so it does last pretty long .

Essie is definitely my favorite nail polish brand. They have a wide wide range of colors to choose from, and they all last a great deal of time without chipping. They also dry pretty quickly. The creamier finishes are thicker, so you will need to smooth it out a bit more in order to achieve an even coverage. Sometimes I only need one coat for the more pigmented colors. The more sheer finishes I use at least 3 coats to get it to be fully opaque. When using a base and top coat, your nail color should last at least a week without any chipping. Great Great brand for Nail Polish! Extremely recommended!

UPDATE: Basically the same as how I felt before about having to set this eye kohl pencil, but I am really loving the color 'Teddy' recently, so I thought I would update my review! 'Teddy' is the perfect daywear color for eyeliner. It has a little sparkle too it so it kind of looks like your eyes are twinkling. It is a bronzy brown color which I actually prefer to wear during the day instead of black. You could also use this at night for a more naturally smoky look by smudging it out. I always set it with a deep brown shadow so it doesn't smear as much. I use 'Smolder' a lot for when I do any photoshoots because its really pigmented and creamy. But, for everyday use, I wouldnt recommend this because it will start to smear and smudge off so you would need to reapply a lot throughout the day. And definetly smudge it out first or set it with a powder eyeshadow to help it stay in place.

I can't believe how awesome this product is... and for the price of $5 bucks.. Whaaat?! I thought this product would be a dud, especially since it's compared to the original Moroccanoil which is a cult favorite. It makes my hair feel so soft and sleek, and it smells great too! It tames fly aways and unruly manes, especially in the morning. For me, I will take about a dime size of this product in my hands, and work it throughout damp hair, especially the ends and roots (my scalp gets really dry). When my hair is dry, I will just take a tiny amount and lightly smooth it on top of my hair to tame fly aways and give my hair a shiny look. It definitely makes hair appear healthier and feel soft. If you use too much, it does feel oily, so its best to use it in small amounts. Price point is amazing, lasts very long, and it actually helps to moisturize my scalp as well! What more could I ask for!
