Hated this mascara and so far i only like one or two mascaras by maybelline. This one smells soooooooooo bad and it doesn't do much to my lashes. I just do not like it, people compare it to the lash blast but this one should not be compared to that

liked this alot, but kind of pricey. I got this in brown, it is a really creamy eyeliner so it goes on easily, but if it doesn't have time to drive it can rub off onto the to of your eye lids which can be annoying. But i love the color of it, its rich!

Mascara -Too Faced - Lash Injection
rated 3 of 5

packaging was cute loved the name. not so much the product. At first I liked it but then even when i closed the lid really tight the formula was a bit dry and it kinda got cakey and flakey on my lids. Maybe it was just mine but I didn't like it after it got dry. It became hard to put on. But before that happened it looked nice gave my lashes a nice volume and it wasn't heavy. But because i see that i did not really notice myself doing anything wrong to make it dry, i would not repurchase this.

Mascara -Clinique - Long Pretty Lashes Mascara

i found it didn't give me much length and it weighed down my lashes. The rimmel glam eyes gave me more length than this mascara and it kept my curl, it was half the price of this.

Skincare - Face -Clinique - 3 Step System
rated 2 of 5

Luckily i never bought the full products of each I got travel sizes. I have dry skin and I got the dramatically different lotion and everyone says it WORKS WONDERS, for me it did not. it broke me out and my skin did not feel or was not moisturized at all, again i was so glad i did not get the full sized product or i would have been so mad. The toner thing, the step 2. it dried out my skin and again broke me out. it contains alcohol which is a bad thing for skin, yeah it gives you that clean feeling but it was horrible to my skin. Step 1 the wash, it was okay but again didn't do wonders. It was like any 6 dollar face wash i can buy at the drugstore, nothing special. I know that the toner and the mouisurizer both broke me out because I tried using them both at different times and not together, and i would let my skin return to normal before i used each product and when bam after a day or two of using it i would have zits everywhere. Bad system!

Lotions/ Creams -The Body Shop - Cocoa Butter Stick
rated 4 of 5

i've never tried anything like this before and when i saw it in the store I was like hm, interesting. Well i bought it, and so far I like it. I perfer lotions rather than some sort of butter stick but this is really good, it melts onto your skin when you roll it on. And it really makes your skin soft and moisturized! But i find it can be a little greasy. Overall a little bit pricey compared to the normal lotions i get but i like it and its lasts a long time!

Lotions/ Creams -Clinique - deep comfort body moisture
rated 4 of 5
xxiRene 4/25/2010 2:23:00 AM

it was around 25 dollars i think, which is pretty pricey but i liked previous clinique products so i tried it. I have eczema, its pretty bad especially when i was little but im growing out of it but my skin is still dry. Not extremely dry but dry enough for me to not like it. Its a good moisturizer overall, it sinks into the skin my skin doesn't feel dry after that but it doesn't feel realllllly moisturized either which is what i excepted when it says "deep comfort body moisture" and when i payed like 26 dollars for it. I can find another mouisturizer that can do the same thing as this clinique one maybe even a bit better at like a drugstore for max 6 bucks. I bought a Jergens Replenshing Vitamin E, gentle exfoliating moisturizer and it works the same as clinique and my skin feels moisturized longer than the clinique. And i got it for 3 dollars CAD, original price is i think around 6 dollars CAD. And it smells nice, yes frangrance can be irritating to the skin but Cliniques smells like weird glue and it took me a while to get use to the smell. Overall i would not repurchase this, its expensive and works but doesn't work good enough for me to re buy. I may try the body butter because the clinique chick was like the body butter really moisturizes but if you dont have really dry skin it can leave you skin greasy, so I was like maybe i'll just stick to the normal lotion. And I actually don't like body butters but i may give that one a try ;) But overall not worth the price.

Blush -The Body Shop - Lip & Cheek Stain
rated 4 of 5

I Like it , not something i reach to everyday but it does what it says. I actually think its a little too liquidy for the consistency, i think a more thicker liquid would make it go on more/better. Since its so liquidy for me i put on actually numerous dabs. For the lips it gives it a red tint but it doesn't last too long compared to the cheeks. Overall its a cheap and good lip and cheek tint comparable to the higher end stuff.
