Here are all my reviews:

I received this as a sample from Total Beauty and used the product twice. The first time, I used two nickel sized dollops and applied it only to my ends. It seemed to soak into my hair (rather than rest on the surface) and helped "blend" my split ends so they weren't so apparent. Pretty amazing! I was so impressed with the product, I went a little overboard the second go around and applied more of it and closer to my roots. Sure enough, oil is oil. This product is great when applied in the correct dose. If you use too much, it will start to mimic other, cheaper hair oils and just make you look like you haven't showered for three days.

They talk a big game, but overall, I thought this mascara "satisfied". ;) Here's why-- 1. It does volumize... a LOT. I noticed other reviews had comments on it's lengthening power, I thought it lengthened great too, but I have decently long eyelashes to begin with, so maybe that was a factor. 2. It comes off easily with facial soap and warm water. No scrubbing until your eyes bleed trying to get your makeup off. 3. The brush is cool. It's not too big, easy to maneuver, and the hourglass shape definitely caught even the tiniest stray lashes. I would definitely purchase again.

I must admit, I have been cynical about primers in general since I switched to mineral foundation. Most seem to create a surface so smooth, the powder has nothing to adhere to. Not this one! It does indeed create a super-smooth surface, but not so much that powder makeup doesn't stick. While it did create flawless skin, I didn't notice more staying power due to the primer (hence the rating of 7).

As far as i'm concerned, this razor is the best out there. I've tried other brands out of sheer curiosity, and after one use headed straight back to Venus. This gets legs soooo smooth and best of all, it lasts. The stubble doesn't come back on my legs for at least a day or two. NO other razor does that. Another thing...the blades last forever! Can't remember the last time I changed mine and it's still sharp as ever. Seriously, now! Get one!

This gloss is true to it's name: Lustrous. It is a little thick, but not sticky. It glides on easily and has a lipsticky shimmer that is difficult to find in a gloss. It's glamour in a tube.

I was so excited to find a lip stain at the drug store...and well, i've had this for over a year, and used it maybe 4 times total. The problem? It's a complete pain to apply. If you use the rollerball applicator you are guaranteed bright red/pink lips with bleedy color outside of your lipline. I've handled this issue by applying with my finger. It works okay, but I still end up with extremely bright lips (nothing like the color on the package) and stained pink fingers. I wouldn't recommend this...

This is a bar of soap with "massaging" nobs. Yes, it works fine the first two or three times around (it's nothing special), but as you can imagine the nobs wear down after a few times in the shower...the product is not really functional for that reason alone--definitely don't buy it for the massaging aspect. Otherwise, it smells good and is moisturizing. I would still prefer to use an Olay shower gel over this product.

This product works great when used only a few times a week. Otherwise, it will dry out even the most oily of skin. It isn't a necessity, but I do like to use it when I see a breakout on the horizon. The tingly sensation is refreshing and seems to help dry up those pimples. Definitely nice to have on hand.

There are quite a few positives to this sunscreen. First of all, you avoid the horrible smell that accompanies most sunscreen. Aveeno Continuous Protections hardly smells at all. Secondly, I didn't burn. Not a single a bit. I used it on my face, but put a lighter Coppertone sunscreen on my arms and shoulders. Sure enough: Coppertone=Burn. Aveeno=Burn Free. My only complaint, I wish this absorbed just a little faster. Even though it's oil free it still has a slightly sticky, greasy consistency. Still no breakouts! Overall a great buy.

In theory, this product is genius. In actuality, it doesn't quite make the cut. The pros: It smells amazing. It actually did a wonderful job of cleansing my hair (without the use of shampoo). And I have crazy oily hair. The cons: I have long, thick, tangly hair. The product didn't condition enough for me to use it alone. Also, though it did clean, it really didn't lather. For this reason, I had to use a lot of product. Still, I like the fact that it doesn't dry my hair like shampoo sometimes can.
