Their hairspray has very good hold and you don't need too much of it. I do feel my hair gets a but of a hard feel from the spray, but that can be helped by a quick comb (which does mean the hold is a bit less, but I prefer the natural look).

I have a ton of their makeup: star drops, eyeshadows, mascara, eye pencils, brushes, and of course their lip scrub. First of, their makeup gives great coverage in an assortment of original colors (the line-up switches all the time). Their mascara works well, no clumps to report, and it a good few months (I use mascara daily). Their makeup brushes are great, nice soft bristles, and they have funky shapes which still lie easily in your hand (very important as I put makeup on in moving vehicles lol). But I luv luv luv their lip scrub. Their coffee scrub is easy to apply and remove and leaves my lips looking wonderfully soft without much effort. And did I mention everything I have is vegan and cruelty-free?!

The Eve Lom product I use most are the different lip balm (ranging from neutral to having a slight shade). They are soft and nourishing, with a healing effect on my (very very dry) lips.

Updaring my review to include this: "THE COUPONS ARE APPLIED FIRST, THEN THEY CALCULATE YOUR PAYOUT! So if you list an item at $51.99 and someone uses a 20% coupon, Thredup calculates your payout over $41, bringing your payout percentage down from 40% to 25%! SUPER SHADY PRACTICE: BEWARE! IN ORDER TO AVOID THIS, YOU NEED TO PRICE YOUR ITEMS AT AT LEAST $62.99 (they claim the max coupon is 20%, so $12.60 discount would keep you over $50 and at a 40% payout). DO THEY COMMUNICATE THIS?! OF COURSE NOT! They make it seem as though the 20% will be deducted off your payout amount, but nothing is less true! Be VERY careful in your pricing and listing! Sorry to say I had to hank up prices on items I would have listed much cheaper.

Thredup recently made several changes, the most significant of which is that all items are now placed on consignment (if accepted). If you want an upfront payment, they make one on each item but BEWARE, it is much lower than any price you would have gotten in the past (their website says 'slightly lower' - what a hoot!). Whatever payout they offer is between 50 and 95% lower than their previous payout (as listed as the payout if sold on consignment). ALSO added is that now any discounts they give the customer are given are also deducted from your payment (they claim it's up to 20% of their already extremely lowered payouts). This used to go in after 45 days, but is now immediate! No communication was sent on this (believe me, I checked)! They now also discount your items prices when it has been listed for 45 days, without permission or consult, to 'help you sell faster' (because that's the type of 'help' you want, someone slashing your asking price without permission...).

The one change you could call a benefit is that you can adjust your asking price for any item now. But as said, after 45 days of listing your prices will be randomly adjusted, so you basically got autonomy for 45 days against severely reduced payouts.

ANOTHER notable change, this one on the purchasing side, is that they now charge a $1.99 per item restocking fee for returns (briefly is was for items listed under $50, but it's now for ANY item). So huge reduction in service there as well.

Their beauty oil is great; softly scented, not too thick or sticky, and gentle on the skin (my skin is prone to breakouts when products are too fatty, but this works great).

I have used their products for several years and have tried a range of their soaps and one of their face bars. The soaps I love; a lot of scents to choose from, lather well, and rinse of easy (I hate it if a soap still feels sticky after thoroughly washing my hands). Their face bar I mostly use when traveling or when I'm in too much of a hurry to grab a cleanser. It works well, not my go-to, but would recommend it as an easy extra.

Fake Bake has other products, but the ones I use are all in the lipgloss line. I love their packaging and shape (clear box with interestingly shaped gloss tube with the cap as a focal point). If you keep them in the boxes you can stand them on your makeup table with the names visible at the top. I possess a range of their subtly shimmering shades, which all give me exactly the little pop of color with subtle shimmer I look for.

This brand has some lovely products for low prices. I do find their pigmentation to be lower, but this can be adjusted by wetting my brush or layering the shades. Love their eyeshadow (lots of shades to choose from and blend with), great palettes with lots of options as well. They have nice balms and lipsticks as well (again the pigmentation is a bit lower, but great for the price you're paying).

It's really the only product of theirs I use, but it is absolutely lovely. It's soft on the skin and leaves it looking dewy without having to slather on a ton of the product. It absorbs easily as well. A bit more on the expensive side ($45 for 50ml or so if I recall correctly), so I use it sparingly, which works great for me.

This brand has some great shades of polish for a low price. They go on smooth (I use mostly shimmer, the creams take a bit more work), and with a top coat can last a week or more (which is long for me lol).

I use Doucce blush, eyeshadow, and a couple of their lipgloss shades. I love the eyeshadow; great pigmentation and staying power, and I find the shades to be very complimentary and easily blendable. The blush provides a great accent and is soft on the skin. I love the lipgloss as well; it spreads easily, isn't sticky, and seems to have a bit more staying power than your average gloss. Some of the sheer shimmer shades I have go great over lipstick to give it a bit of extra sparkle as well.

As a user of Living Proof's dry shampoo and leave-in conditioner, I can honestly say I love their products. The dry shampoo also gives your hair a bit of volume (you can choose a more or less setting to choose smaller or larger volume) and leaves my hair looking great. I love the leave-in conditioner because my hair tends towards the dry side and this conditioner easily smooths out the dryness and smooths my hair as well when combed through towel dry hair.

I have quite a few shades of their nail polish, which work great. If they had shades that were a little less basic they would get five stars. Great classic colors though, stay well on the nail with a top coat, and are very flattering. Not adventurous, but good to have in your collection to wear to the office. You can't go wrong with that :)

From their nail polish to their shadow sticks, Butter London is one great brand. I have every color nail polish they make (awesome staying power and pigmentation on those), a ton of their lipstick and gloss (I love that lipstick that is also a balm... very subtle color), lipgloss, lip liner, shadow clutches, and shadow sticks. Honestly, I've never picked up a BL makeup product that I didn't love.

Their eye sticks are truly great; good staying power, easy to apply, and in shades that I know compliment a lot of people (I use them on friends with coloring wildly different from mine and they look great). I like the nifty black boxes they come in too. Once they're empty I store all sort of knickknacks inside.

Luv, luv, luv their shower gels! The scent are heavenly subtle, foamy, and gentle on the skin. I love the ones that have a scrub component to them and the ones that have these little balls that burst into fragrance on your skin. I have face masks and soap by them as well, but honestly, it's the shower gel that keeps calling me back for more!

I have Manna Kadar lipstick, blush, powder, highlighter, and bronzer. Their lipstick is great; good pigmentation and easy on the lips. Their blush spreads well and has good staying power. The highlighter I have is a tube (called Glo I think) and gives a very softly complimenting sheen when applied. The bronzer was from a beauty box; not really my color, but I tested it and it seems to spread evenly and easily.

I have a lot of their skincare products; Irish Mud Cleansing Gel, Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel, Water Drench Cloud Cream Cleanser, Ultra Rich Body Lotion, Cucumber Gel Mask, and Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream. I like to adapt my cleansers to the way my skin feels before cleaning, so I use a lot of different ones. All the PTR cleansers are great, though the Irish Mud one is my fave. It leaves my skin looking super clean and if I use it with the Hyaluronic Cloud Cream when I feel a breakout coming, it reduces the reaction. Their Ultra Rich Body Lotion is true to its name; rich and creamy, leaving my skin feeling luxuriously pampered after use.

Honestly love their makeup. Their nail polish has great coverage and is long lasting, their lipgloss is very pretty and has great staying power. Nothing to complain about and their stuff lasts a long time (so though a bit more expensive, it's good value for money).

I have a bunch of their makeup; lipgloss, blush, eyeshadow, and everything that came in the Birchbox Karl Lagerfeld + Modelco collaboration box. Their regular line gives good value for money; the blush is soft with good coverage, the eyeshadow same. Lipgloss works right for a lipgloss, staying power isn't the greatest, but at least it doesn't dry out my lips. The Lagerfeld + ModelCo stuff are my faves though; the colors blend well and I lovely their subtle shimmer and great staying power.
