This is one of the first foundation primers I ever used, what seems like a lifetime ago! At it's inception, this was a revolutionary product-- and it has stood the test of time. I love the way this primer feels, and it gives a smooth "slip" to the skin which makes my foundation wear very well. I just wish it did a better job at controlling shine. I think there's a huge design flaw in the packaging though, because once you work your way closer the the end of the bottle-- it's really hard to get it out with the pump. The primer sticks to the side of the bottle, causing waste if you don't feel like being creative enough to try to get it out. It's good, don't get me wrong. I would just purchase it in the small travel tube and go that route instead of the bottle. :)

There's a great reason this concealer is so highly rated, it's wonderful! Of all of the concealers I have tried, this is my favorite by far. It's creamy, it stays put, and it provides excellent coverage. It's moist and doesn't look dry or cakey at all and one pot of it is lasting me for ages. I think the price for the quality is very fair and I will keep this in my makeup arsenal because it's a daily staple. Works great everywhere!

This came to me highly recommended by a collegue and I went ahead and splurged without doing any homework. I followed the instructions religiously and clicked my heels together hoping for small miracles! Sadly, it didn't work. It did have a slight cooling sensation, but that's about it girls. I'm taking my butt to exercise instead.

It’s a unique packaging system, a foil pack with 2 chambers. The liquid (oxygenating ingredients, vitamin C, and cucumber extract) is encapsulated in it’s own chamber that you actually activate yourself without even opening the foil. It then saturates the two undereye pads that are enclosed. You then open the pack, place one of the soft pads under each eye– lay back and relax for 15 minutes with your eyes closed. That was nice. There was a cooling effect involved which took some of my worries away because I could tell there was an anti-inflammatory effect going on. After 15 minutes, my eyes were soothed and de-puffed, and they felt rested. They were brighter underneath and there was a minimal smoothing effect on my fine lines. I imagine with continued use at 1 time a week for a month, I would notice more of a benefit. This is a perfect partner product to the Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask, I would definetly buy the eye mask! It’s a thumbs up from me!

The Hemp Hand Protector is on my desk at ALL TIMES! I use it several times a day as my hands are extremely dry. It is a bit thicker than a hand lotion since it's a cream, so I have to wipe the palms of my hands and my fingers on a napkin before I get back to work but it feels wonderful. It hydrates and softens and the scent is soft and earthy. If I had one issue with this product, it's the packaging. The metal tube is pretty delicate and might get punctured if you throw it in your handbag with keys and things-- so look out for that, I've done that before. Also, until I get about half way through the tube, it wants to push out more cream than I want and I have to really get the cap back on there quickly before it comes rushing out. The cap could be a little bit more secure too. Maybe they should use a flip cap? But I know they're into less packaging. I don't mind paying a premium price for these premium ingredients, it is a little costly!

Catwalk Root Boost totally put the va-va-voom back in my hair! I've tried other root-boosting products and this is the only one that didn't leave my roots stiff or crunchy so far. I have very fine and limp locks, so this is a welcome addition to my haircare arsenal. Now, it won't work for me all day-- but I won't hold that against Catwalk because it would take a miracle to hold this hair at the root. I've had the can for several months and it's still going strong.

I adore this fragrance, and enjoyed using the lotion. It was hydrating and the scent was soft-- however when you get about half-way through the bottle, it becomes difficult to pump out. I think that needs to be looked into on their end because it was really frustrating for such a beautiful product! The bottle kind of ruined it for me.

I really didn't care for the Stila Hair Refresher! I don't know if I was the recipient of a defective bottle-- but it was not easy to use and I thought it was very messy. I pay normally $21-$24 for different aerosol brands and I've gone back to those. If it were between this and baby powder-- I'd pick the baby powder. I love Stila, and I always will, but this was just not for me. Too pricey, poor bottle/application design.

I purchased this and was ready to put it to the test. 6 hours? Can this really be happening to me, one of my wildest dreams coming true? Well, it lasted about 3 hours and it didn't feel too dry on my lips. But I did feel a waxy-like coating. Not too bad. The shade selection is pretty nice and Sangria is my fave everyday color. The wand on it is pretty cool too! I wish it wasn't $9.99 at my local drugstore! Oh well, I've spent WAY more than that before so I can't complain. I would get this again and recommend trying it out if you're looking for something non-drying for a few hours.

Of all the plumpers I've tried so far, this is the only one that gave me the instant gratification I was hoping for. It swells my lips substantially and provides a glossy sheen. If you want to apply a lip product over this, I recommend waiting about 10-15 minutes then wipe this off before you apply another product. Also, be careful not to get any of this outside your lip line and wash your hands if you get any on them. This stuff will burn! But I like the burn... hee hee!
