Terrible.

A lot of people talk about how fantastic this mascara is, so I went and got it. I hated it!! It didn't do a single thing for my lashes. It essentially coated them and made them black. No lengthening, no volume, no anything.

All are terrible.

I bought several of these eye shadows.. I really wanted them to work. I kept thinking maybe I just got a bad color. These eye shadows are just straight up terrible. Save your money and go buy NYX, I don't think it's that much more expensive (at least here in Alaska it isn't!) These shadows are really powdery, they have no pigmentation or lasting power whatsoever. I don't even like the packaging.

Awesome!

I saw this palette and knew it was for me, I love smokey eyes! I really dig each and every one of these colors. Each one is really pigmented, and very rich. They're all really deep jewel-toned smokey colors. I also like that it didn't just include a bunch of greys, blacks and browns.. they actually put some color into it! If I'm in need of a quick look for going out, I default to using Cobra with a matching gel liner that I happen to have. It alone creates a perfect smokey eye!

Ehh..

I got this product as a sample and used it all the way up before making my decision about it. I feel like this primer doesn't really do anything for me. It doesn't make my makeup last longer, or go on smoother. I don't see any 'brightening' effects to my face either. I will say it does smell pleasant.

Good stuff!

This liner is pretty damn good. It's not my favorite, but it's definitely in the top three. It's absolutely the best 'cheaper' colored liner I've ever tried! The formulation is great and long lasting, as well as really pigmented. The reason why I gave it 4/5 stars is because I think the brush could be improved. It needs to be shorter to give more control. Other than that, this liner is fantastic!

Pretty good.

I would say that NYX shadows are not as good as some department store shadows (MAC, Urban Decay, Lorac, etc) but I would say they're absolutely better than any shadow you will find at a drug store. NYX is usually relatively cheap, and definitely worth the money! If you have the option, save your money from drugstore shadows and buy NYX.

Not for me.

I didn't like this mascara at all. It didn't do any of the things it said it would. All it did was turn my lashes black.. no lengthening or volume or anything.

Meh.

I really wanted to love this lip gloss. The packaging is awesome and NARS overall is just a great brand. But this lip gloss is pretty average, if not even kind of bad. It's not sticky, which most people like, but I really like a sticky gloss. It doesn't really have a great smell (but it doesn't have a bad smell) it isn't sticky and it isn't very long lasting. I will say the colors are fantastic, but I wish they were more long-wearing. I can go buy better glosses from Walmart.

love it!

This was my very first cream blush. I got Something Special because I figured it was a very nice, light color that I could make darker with other blushes if I felt the need. I was right! It's a beautiful, light to mid-pink color that looks really natural on your cheeks. You certainly can over do it, but it's easy to keep it under control. I don't really like having just cream blush on, I usually cover it with another blush just to set it. I think that using this cream blush under my powder blushes has absolutely lengthened the time my blush stays on! I can work a full 9 hour shift and go home with still perfectly intact blush. I do also use a setting spray.

Good stuff.

This is the very first finishing powder I've ever tried. I got it in a kit with the rest of my Bare Minerals stuff. It really opened the doors for me. This stuff is really super silky and smells great. I love how it feels on my face! Very soft. I wouldn't say this is my absolute favorite product, but I wouldn't be sad if this was the only one I got to use for the rest of my life.
