Beauty Product Reviews
Better Than The Rest
These were just released in Canada not too long ago. They're about $5 (+/- depending on where you go) and I think they're definitely worth the money. I like that there are a few colours to choose from, different scents and clear ones as well. They aren't sticky or greasy like most other lip balms. I've only had mine (Peppermint and Grape Vine) for two weeks or so, but I can already start to feel that my lips are more hydrated.

It's all right.
I bought this a while back at Sephora. I was originally looking to purchase the Urban Decay Naked Palette, but they were sold out. Instead, I purchased this thinking that it would be sort of similar, and after testing the eyeshadows in store, I was sold. However, I found that the colours looked 'muddy' on me. I have tanned skin and the colours are more on the cool side (the neutral ones, anyway). I tend to use the purple/red shades more though. I love the primer, but I'm not really a fan of the brush. The packaging is a little bulky and I regret buying this.
The quality of the eyeshadows is amazing though. They just aren't the right colours for me.

Amazing!
I love this palette! The quality of the eyeshadows is the best of all that I've tried. I especially love the matte brown and black as they are richly pigmented, soft and blend really well.
I like that there are two green shades so this isn't completely a brown, black and tan palette.
I definitely recommend this if you have brown eyes, or if you like the colours. It's definitely worth the money if you don't have anything like it!

Just like most glitter liners.
I like these glitter liners, but they are basically the same thing as the NYX ones, and the NYX ones are cheaper. They also have a larger colour selection.
I found mine at Winner's a long time ago (I got it in purple) and it was bundled with a glitter eye gel. I got the pair for $8, so for me it was about the same price as a NYX one, but I wouldn't buy one at full price.

Gave into the hype!
I wasn't sure about purchasing this after months of trying to find it last year. After finding that it was out of stock in so many places, I gave up and decided I didn't really need it anyway.
A few weeks ago, I saw it in Sephora and gave in to the continued hype that this palette has been receiving.
The eyeshadows are great and they have amazing lasting power. I also like that it comes with a primer, but I'm not a big fan of the brush. I'm pretty dedicated to my Quo shader brush, so anything else doesn't seem as effective to me. I wish they still put the eyeliner duo in the palette, but I don't think they do that anymore.
The colour selection is great, even though they are all neutral colours, and I like that it comes with a mixture of matte and shimmer.

Love it!
Such an amazing product. Makes your hair soft and light. You'll be amazed!
I got it from Sally's in the conditioner form. I left it in my hair for about half an hour before I rinsed it out. It'll be difficult going back to a regular conditioner!

Great concept!
I really like these. The nail polish strips are easy to apply, and if they don't fit exactly, you can stretch them out slightly so they cover your entire nail. However, I don't like that it comes with 16 strips (should come with 20). Although the strips are long and can be cut in half, you can't really save the extras as they will dry out.
I tried using dried nail polish strips and dipping them in nail polish remover to soften them and it seemed to work, but you have to be really careful.
They will last a long time if you apply a top coat and they don't chip! Just make sure that when you put the top coat on that you let it dry completely.

Use sparingly!
I find this works best when using just a small amount before applying eyeshadow. If you use too much, it'll crease very easily.
But it's a great primer if you use a tiny amount and blend it in well.

Don't get the glittery ones
I bought one of these in a wine-purple colour that has tons of silver glitter in it. Swatching it in the store, I loved it but they were sold out. I tried another Sephora and they were sold out as well. I ended up going back another day and bought the last one they had.
I brought it home to try out and was disappointed. The glitter did not adhere well to my eyes (even over a primer) and was difficult to work with.
Might be better worn over a glitter adhesive.

Meh.
I bought this because I needed something cheap to touch-up with while I was at an event.
The eyeshadows weren't very pigmented and had a 'dry' texture, kind of chalky and gritty. They don't apply well with a finger, or with a brush.
Not a very good product.
