To put it quite simply, I love everything about this product! I love the shine, the hydration benefits, the taste, the scent, everything! I am a compulsive lip balm/gloss user so I always make sure this is within reach. It really does the trick for my dry lips.

I think this is a great idea for blush-phobes who are afraid they won't get the application right. It's so easy to grab too much color on your blush brush and go to town and this helps curb that. I had this in the color Hibiscus. While the shade was pretty it just wasn't for me. There was glittery shimmer in it that I felt wasn't practical. If you're trying to make blush easy for the everyday girl, I feel like there should have been more basic and forgiving shades introduced. It scores for ingenuity though!

I really enjoyed using the Caudalie Lip Conditioner, I received it in a travel kit and used it pretty obsessively. It did make my lips soft, and there wasn't a waxy or sticky feel which was great. My product in the tube seemed very soft and wore down rather quickly despite my obsessive-compulsive nature with lip balms/gloss. That was my one complaint, it didn't last long enough.

While highly pigmented, it's easy to work with and won't leave you with too much in one spot. I can see why it wins "best of" awards almost every year. The glow that it provides is healthy and not too much shimmer which is great! This is a wonderful pro-quality product that every gal can use. The only problem I have is the packaging! I get the whole "cargo" industrial take on the packaging but I find my lid flies off pretty easily. I wish there was a better way to encase this great bronzer!

This is the best brow gel I've come across so far! I've tried others but nothing can beat this yet. I've never had a problem with it getting crusty or flaky, which is a big brow no-no! I find that it defines and keeps my brows all day without issue. My one gripe is that it smells strongly of alcohol when first applied. I'd give it a 10 if it weren't for that. I think the price is a little high, but I would do almost anything for great brows and lashes.

The DDF Matte Photo-Age SPF 30 ranks high on my SPF list. It really does stay matte, it's neither sticky or thick, provides adequate protection for a normal day, and I've never had a breakout issue from it. I notice no scent, and I think the price is fair for the quality. It is the only sunscreen I can convince my husband to use on a daily basis-- so that fact alone gets it a 10 in my book. One bottle will last the two of us quite awhile so I don't find it hurts the beauty budget at all. One of the best I've tried!

When this first arrived on the skincare scene a few years ago, I was all for it. Anything that can help balance out my oil in my t-zone is a welcome addition to my routine. But honestly-- this stuff reminds me of Elmer's Glue when it comes out of the tube and I had flashbacks of elementary school and of cutting hearts out of construction paper to make a boy I liked a collage. *laughs* It's effective for a short while, but the sebum starts up again within an hour or 2 for me and it's pointless. It can be difficult to wear foundation over this if you don't let it dry for several minutes beforehand is what I've found. When I wore liquid foundation with it-- it made a weird texture on my face so I stuck with wearing minerals when I wore this. It does get points for having an SPF 20 versus most products which are 15. But I've moved on the other things. This isn't the answer for me personally.

Although a bit pricey, Clean Fresh Laundry is one of my favorite fragrances. It smells exactly how fresh laundry should smell. And it does smell like fabric softener... a scent that I absolutely love. When I wear this, I do get compliments and the scent lingers through the day but it does soften. It is a super clean fragrance, no pun intended!

Of all of the Harajuku fragrances, this one is my fave! It's clean and sweet, and the collectible bottles are insanely adorable. I think the prices are right-- everyone can afford to have their faves on their vanity! It's not too overpowering but the fragrance remains true throughout the day on my skin. I know it's different for everyone, but I have no issues with these fragrances at all. I think they'll make great gifts for your gal pals!

I have had this piece for 2 years, and it's still going strong. I adore wearing it and get tons of compliments. It's fun to wear and gives me options since I have very fine hair that just lays there. It's easy to put in, and stays in. I never have to worry about it coming out and embarassing me. To make it look authentic I curl the ends of the top of my hair too so it blends in with the bottom and it's sassy. It's easy to wash, just a little water with a gentle shampoo and lay to dry. It was pricey, but I think I've gotten my money's worth!
