I bought this when I was a teenager to help rid me of breakouts on my body during summertime. Within 2 weeks I was cleared up. I liked that the bottle worked every which way. It was a tad expensive and I found a drugstore version for about half the price, but this is definately worth a try.

The color is great on me (blonde) and works great with its teeny tip for filling in thinning spots in the brows. My one complaint is that it crumbles easily. The first one I had broke off frequently. I am more careful with my second tube and so far had only minimal losses with this one.

I bought this bc I found the combination of the smudge on one end and the self-sharpening tip on the other to be phenomenal. However, the formula itself smudges very easily, which to me is a dealbreaker. Another Sephora return!

I bought this as an alternative to my usual heavy moisturizer. I have sensitive, somewhat dry skin but I easily breakout. I like the formula, it sort of just makes you feel fresh and not as tight. However, its not very moisturizing, I tend to have to go over dry spots several times. I dislike the heavy perfume in this formula and I dislike the deep blue color. I usually get blue chunks on my face that don't absorb so I have to wipe them off. Its a little too much aethetics for a moisturizer. The performance isnt terrible, but not neccessarily worth the money in mu opinion.

I am usually a die hard Dior Show user. I like volume and drama in my lashes. I bought this when I had to crimp my budget and did not regret it. It is a wetter formula than I am used to, however with a few coats, it allows for building great voluminous, long lashes. They never get clumpy or flakey and are soft to the touch. This is a great every day mascara.

I loved the regular Lash Perfection, but decided to try the waterproof formula. I didn't like it as much as the regular one. It dries much quicker, gets flakey and clumpy. This kind of negates all the plus points of the formula. Go for the non-waterproof, you won't be disappointed.

Worst product ever made - no idea why anyone would like this. The fame that this product has is one of the best marketing and PR scams I have ever seen. The formula is wet, takes 7 minutes to dry which leads to getting rings under your eyes and on your lids. No such thing as layering this mascara bc of the time it takes for each coat to dry. The bristles are very far apart which is good for separating and leaving you with lashes that are 1 centimeter apart from eachother. The formula is not long wearing, its just horrible. Don't even waste your $. I would give it zero stars if possible.

I am an avid user of Orgasm but decided to try a cream blush instead. Cactus Flower looks like a sparkly hot pink/red in the pan but when applied, it gives a fresh, translucent, dewey "I've just been running" appearance. I notice that the color may seem bright when applied but dulls a tad when it sits on the face for a minute or so. I tend to layer this a little bit at a time. It is also long lasting, so that is a plus.

I have tried the Mineral Veil on top of my BE foundation and for the most part, I like it as a finishing step. Sometimes I get a great "airbrushed" look, others not so much. I have also tried the "sandwich" where you use Mineral Veil, then foundation, then MV again. It definately helps to seal in your makeup and give it a vry soft, cornsilk-like texture. I used to use the MV and warmth so I figured I'd save money and try the tinted MV. I was wrong. The color is way too muddy and orangey. Its almost like rust grew on my face. I try to use very little, then build on the color but it always ends up looking the same way. Its a bad idea altogether. Skip it!

I have to admit, I never found a liquid foundation that I loved. A friend gave me Fairly Light because it came in a kit but was too light for her. I tried it and really liked the results. It has a light, buildable finish. If used too heavily though the face tends to get greasy and have a pearly appearance. Sometimes I get tired of the formula and try a liquid foundation but I always come back. It is really a quick application with an even color (no worrying about lines on your chin). Its safe for sensitive skin as well. I wish that BE made a more matte formula though, thats my one complaint.
