MY REVIEW/OPINION
I got this bronzer in the color Bronze it does not have a red undertone which many people dislike.
I use this bronzer for contouring, it does the job.
Except it looks as if I have dark stains on my face, maybe I need a lighter shade?
I do tend to get bronzers with a little red on them maybe that's why this one does not
convince me all the way, but if you don't like red in your bronzer this may be a good one.
Pigmentation-Is good enough to do my contour it is not shimmery is more on the matte side.
Lasting Power-It does last most of my day without the need to retouch.
Brush-This brush in particular is very stiff and to harsh on my face.
I don't usually use brushes that come with products because most of them are not
very great. I always tend to use my own brushes.
Packaging-The packaging is nice Dk. Brown w/ pink writing.
Not too bulky.
 This bronzer is not chalky or powdery it is just right, the only thing is that Mark products tend
to get a bit of that dry-wet  look on the product here and there, at least most of the powders and some blushes I own give me that effect, not too much but its there..I have learned to fix that  problem though, by putting a pc. of scotch tape over the affected area and lift it carefully, this causes to lift that wet part off and the product gets fixed.
Just a tip for you all!
Overall I guess I could say it is a good product as far as pigmentation and lasting power, but Im iffy on the color for my skintone only, it may be great on darker skintones though.

MY REVIEW/OPINION
I really wanted to try this bronzer because it reminded me of my favorite bronzer
Mac's MSF in Comfort.
Mac's Comfort is limited so I cannot get it all the time unless it is repromoted.
I have to say that Milani's Soleil is very similar almost identical except that it's shimmery particles are more noticeble than Mac's Comfort.
 I'm hoping the shimmer is just on the top like other bronzers sometimes have them.
Mac's Comfort is also a bit thicker than Milani's Soleil.
I like  Comfort because it is a little bit more on the matte side in my opinion.
Soleil's Pigmentation is very good and the product is not too powdery.
The texture is very fine and the shimmer is not chunky like other shimmery bronzers.
I have been wearing it and I like the color payoff and staying power.
I'm glad I found this bronzer because it is very compatible to my Mac's Comfort.

Ophthalmologist tested. Contact lens safe.
Price $7.79 at CVS

MY REVIEW/OPINION
I have to start by saying that Maybelline Mascaras are my favorite.
I love the VOLUM'EXPRESS line
The Falsies is my favorite so far .
I like my lashes to have volume look full and to be noticeable.
So far Maybelline has not failed me.
This mascara is also a good product so far.
It gave me the effect I like in my mascaras.
I like the brush is pretty large and full just like I like the brushes to be.
The bending part on the wand is not like it moves too much it works well,
so this is not a bad thing on the wand.
I did not experience any smudging, running or fealt that my lashes were stuck together after applied.
As far as the gel texture I did not see it or feel it, to me it seemed like a normal mascara.
I got this in the color Blackest Black
I'm glad I purchased this one as well.

So I hope you guys likes this review.
