Tricky Application

the foundation itself matches me pretty well. I have oily, acne prone skin with some discolouration.

coverage wise, this foundation does a good job. its full coverage with one coat.

the staying power is good too. it lasts me a full school day (I have gym everyday and I wear makeup from 7am to 5pm).

but the one downfall is I hate how blotchy it is -- maybe its just my skin but it never applies as smooth as it should. I've tried sponges and brushes but none of them worked.

I always get compliments for this scent!

good job, body shop. this scent is absolutely marvelous.

let's start here: I love how my mom smells. it wasn't overpowering, but you could definitely smell her sweetness. I loved that.

by seventh grade she let me try it. I wore it on days where I wanted to be posh and every time I wore it, somebody complimented me on it. "you smell so good!" "what perfume is that?" "I love your scent!"

this has become my signature scent. It's not overly girly, it lasts all day and it's my holy grail.

Turn back now! While you still can... if your lashes are thin.

I've been hoping to find my holy grail mascara for such a long time. I've tried some drugstore mascaras, but most of them did not work well for my lashes. So I turned to high end products.

Now, you must be thinking, "Why wouldn't you like this mascara? It's meant to make your eyelashes the biggest, fakest possible and that must be pretty appealing."

Yes. It's appealing. But that's simply what it CLAIMS to do, not what the mascara actually does. They're Real is not meant for short, thin Asian lashes. The formula is far too watery for weak lashes like mine. On the other hand, it does lengthen, volumize and thicken. But none of these effects are visible from a normal angle since my eyelashes are so drooped and down, which is a shame.

I've tried to layer it over a waterproof mascara that has always held my curl perfectly. Results? It looks exactly like my uncurled eyelashes. It's also very clumpy and spidery, gives your lashes a "stuck together" look.

Overall, this is not my favorite mascara. It has done nothing close to what it claims to, and I'm not pleased with it.

Holy Grail + All Time Favorite!

Let's start here: I have the shortest, thinnest, almost nonexistent eyelashes. I have trouble finding mascara that hold the curl, volumizes and all the good stuff. I prefer non-watery formulas since those do not weigh my lashes down. I've tried 9 mascaras in the past year and only 2 did any good!

I bought this mascara for $4.99 after reading a lot of reviews and deciding that it was worth a try. They said that it gave them dramatic looking lashes, but the bottle itself clogged up or became gross. I knew that there was a risk but decided to take it.

When I first tried it, I didn't expect much. I already own the Smoky Eyes version of this mascara and, let me tell you, IT IS NO GOOD. I thought this one would be the same, but guess what, it wasn't even close. My first reaction after swiping it once was "Oh. My. God." My eyelashes looked way darker, thicker and almost twice as long! I don't know about you, but I fell in love with it right away.

I have found out that 3 coats is my favorite and usually I curl my lashes again after it has dried completely.

If you have thin lashes, this is the mascara for you! I love it so much :)

Didnt Like It At First... Now My Fave Liner!

When I bought it, I was looking for an eyeliner pencil that can line my waterline. I made some mistakes - 1. this is definitely not for your waterline 2. I got the grayish black shade while I wanted the black 3. I didn't know it didn't have a sharpener

But guess what! After a few trial and errors I have fell in love with this eyeliner. Why? Because I have discovered something its better at: smudging.

You can't create a clean line with a gray pencil, that's for sure, but what if you smudged it? Even though the product dries really quick and after it dried it wouldn't move, you have around a minute to smudge, correct and fix any mistakes.

What I did was I lined my upper lash line and outer corner with this and then smudged it with a qtip. It looks like the subtlest smoky eye ever! I'm in love with the effect it creates.

Amazing product overall!

Amazing!

Essie is my favorite nail polish brand and I love the color, texture and stuff! The price is a little high though. The brush fits my nails really well and I would recommend this for anyone looking for vibrant, long lasting colors.

NO. JUST NO.

This mascara is definitely not the best out there. It doesn't make my eyelashes any longer, fuller or prettier, it just heavies it down and doesn't hold the curl. But it does deliver a natural look if you want it.

Amazing!

I don't even know where to start. The design is super cute, the product is moisturizing and it doesn't cost much! I collect these because I love them too much <3

OK but improvable

Its too sparkly for my taste and the pigment doesn't stay on for long. Also the applicator that comes with the eye shadow kit is definitely NOT the best you can find. But still, this eye shadow pallette has a nice color combination which you can't find in other palettes. Improve, Covergirl.

Nice but not the best

It's good but not the best. Great for bottom lashes though! The fibres are realistic and the product did lengthen, but not a lot. Great mascara though. The best part is it creates a subtle look and won't overdo things.
