This is my favorite brush head! I recently moved to a place where winters are incredibly cold. In addition to this, I have eczema and extremely dry skin. I thought the sensitive brush head would be a good fit but when comparing it to the delicate one, it is slightly more harsh. You can really feel the difference and the delicate one is much more gentle.

I've tried all the different lip balms from Burt's Bees. Unfortunately, unlike the other reviewers, the pomegranate one was the worst for me!

I rarely have problems with my lips but when I do, it's so bad! I lived blocks away from the beach for a little over three years and when the wind would roll in, they would get in pretty bad shape. I definitely prefer the original or the medicated one.

I bought this product after a friend recommended it to me. I was a bit hesitant because it was about $60 for a small bottle but the saleslady reassured me it was well worth it.

Although I may not be at liberty to write a great review because I only used it for two weeks, but the formula just didn't work well with my skin. I'm actually pretty sad because it worked so well for my friend and for many others who wrote online reviews.

I'm guessing my face was just so irritated by the ingredients but my skin is very sensitive. I just felt so uncomfortable every time I used it. I would recommend it to people who are willing to test it out based on the fact that so many people had great outcomes but maybe not if you have sensitive skin like me.

I am a bit disappointed in this product. Almost everyone swears by this or the Make Up Forever pencil eyeliner so I set my expectations very high. My eyes tend to become very watery so I really hoped that this product could deliver amazing results.

Nonetheless, for personal experience, the liner works decently for my eyelids but smears a bit which is pretty annoying. As for my water line, the liner usually disappears by the time I finish work. I definitely think using gel eyeliner works best for me (in terms of lasting power) but since I'm always in a rush to leave for work, I really like the convenience of pencil liners and easy they are to apply.

I used this eyeliner for years. From my personal experience, the staying power is fantastic. My eyes are so sensitive and become watery very easily so finding a long-lasting eyeliner can be a little difficult. Although I really like this particular eyeliner, I feel gel/cream eyeliners work the best for me.

This foundation is quite long lasting. I used this product for about a year back in 2005/2006ish. However, the main reason why I dislike it is because of texture and how it feels on my face. I prefer a light weight foundation or powder even if I have to compromise coverage. This foundation feels so heavy on my skin Also, I don't enjoy the smell.

This is the first high-end mascara I've ever bought. I really liked the whole concept of "fake lashes" from a mascara, however, this product only works for me when I apply a waterproof mascara first as a base.

I first purchased the original formula (pictured above) at Sephora for $24. A couple of months later, my dad made a business trip to Japan and brought me back two more bottles, $14 or $15 each. The mascaras straight from Japan had a different packaging, new wand, and apparently a slightly new formula.

The bottles from Japan (with the curved wand) are the ones they now sell at Sephora. I'm pretty sure the original formula is no longer available.

Many people who compare the old and new formulas say that the original worked better for them. I can't really tell a difference between the two but I prefer the newer one because of the wand. I feel it applies the mascara much neater than the previous one.

To easily remove the mascara, I use the purity cleanser and warm water.

These are definitely high quality shadows. They are more expensive than other brands but the amount of product will last you quite a long time.

I also really like the magnetized case. It's super easy to open and close. Unlike some other cosmetic lines, these can easily be propped out of their individual cases and placed into a larger palette so you don't have to worry about the eyeshadows shattering.

I really liked MAC eyeshadows (I still do, don't get me wrong) because of the huge range of colors. Same goes for Make Up Forever, there is a wide variety of shades and I feel like the quality is superior.

Prior to the most recent Benefit blushes (which I haven't tried but look very pigmented), I think the Dallas shade gave the most color pay off. I really liked using this color and felt it complimented my skin tone very well. However, I have to knock my rating down half a star because of the packaging. Yes, all the blushes have really unique and ornate covers but the outer layer gets pretty beat up over time.

I think Smashbox executed this palette very well. I am a huge fan of Smashbox shadows because of their wearable shades. I also really like how they included the four eye liners, mascara, and eyeshadow base in the set, it really allows you to test out the rest of the line.
