Be Careful

I love a great Acne kit. I know in order to get maximum results you should use the products together. I started using the Murad Acne Complex Kit and within a week my skin was extremely dry and burned. I was only using the kit at night. Yes my skin was clearer, but it was not worth the pain.

Worth the Money

I am a firm believer in it is not necessary to spend a lot of money to find a great product that works. This is very true in this case. For only $10 I have my go to product to use before any big day. I prefer using it at night since it does tend to try a little sticky. When I wake up the next day I look refreshed no matter how much sleep I actually got the night before.

Keep This One With You

This is my go to product for dry skin. I keep it in my purse and use it as lip balm, cuticle softener, hand cream and all around moisturizer. One of the most underrated products I have ever had the pleasure of trying.

Very Natural

Smashbox Lip Enhancing Full Color Gloss is one of my favorite glosses of all time. The gloss is not sticky and the color is rich. 35mm goes great with a tan. When I want a little bit more color I choose Surge. Definitely with the price.

Does Not Last

You get what you pay for with this product. The colors are great, but they do not last long without chipping. I had to retouch my nails after 2 days.

Does Not Last

Usually I'm a fan of Smashbox. However in this case I am very disappointed. The liner ran within an hour and dries out easily. If you accidentally leave the lid off you can hold the product underneath a light and melt the top layer. However, it is not worth the hassle.

Great Conditioner, Horrible Smell

I use the product as a deep conditioner over night before washing my hair in the morning. It leaves my hair feeling soft and extremely manageable. I just wish the smell was not so intense. If you apply it during the day to tame frizz and flyaways people might think you had just smoked a pipe full of tobacco.

Great As An Eyeshadow Base

I love using the Creme Shadows as an eyeshadow base. They really help to add depth to whatever color I am using. Just make sure you set the color or you will have creasing by the end of the day. They Creme Shadows are also great when I'm in a hurry and I want just a sheer wash of color.

Easy To Apply

Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion is the first primer I have ever purchased. There are definitely other eyeshadow primers that are good, but in my opinion this one is the best. The applicator is great and color is sheer so it will not alter the color of your eyeshadow. Beware of the jumbo tube version. It has a tendency to break up at the end and the product will dry out and become unusable. Stick to the smaller size and you will be just fine.

Not So Great Packaging

I really enjoy the minty flavor and high shine. I even love the tackiness of the lip gloss. What I do not enjoy is the fact that every single XXX Shine Lip Gloss I have purchased has broken at the end and has oozed all over my make up bag. This has happened to me on several occasions. As much as I enjoy the lip gloss, it is not worth the hassle.
