I bought this sunscreen in my years of previously unsuccessful attempts to find a light product that didn't smell awful. This product is very heavy, almost like clown makeup (never mind how I know what clown makeup is like), and has a very intense and unpleasant sunscreen scent. It is not surprising that it is waterproof because of the very heavy texture that reminds me of the opaque zinc oxide creams of long ago. I am throwing away the tubes of this product in favor of my recent discovery of Elta products that are invisible on my skin and truly odorless even at high spf.

I love Diorshow mascara. I have sensitive eyes and it is one of the few mascaras that don't both them. Recently i have had problems with eye dryness and have to use a lot of eye drops. I bought the waterproof mascara and it has the same good qualities as the non-waterproof, but it isn't remotely waterproof. Ironically, it takes an effort to remove it even though it smudges easily.

I read the label on this product this morning and edited my review with a significant reduction in my rating. The instructions indicate that you should apply 2 grams and repeat every 2 hours. At only 50 mg per tube, and a conservative application estimate of 4 times per day, the tube would last about six days. Plus, I can't even imagine putting this stuff on every four hours - i would look like a ghost. I ordered this produce partly because of all the positive reviews here and elsewhere. It is a nice product, but more opaque than I expected. It is not nearly as sheer as other company's tinted moisturizers. It acts more like a foundation. This is fine for someone who wants that, but I rarely wear foundation. The texture is good, but it takes a while to sink in. A good product, just not for me. I will finish the tube, but not buy it again.

I have combination skin and a lot of cleansers just don't do the job, leaving my skin feeling slippery, not clean. I like that C&B makes my skin feel clean and ready for other products. I don't want my cleanser, or any other skin product, to multitask. I prefer to be free to choose the exact products that do each kind of job with my skin, and I often use different brands for different purposes. This cleanser appears to contain clay along with some gentle surfactants, and clay masks have always done wonderful things for my skin. I like very much that Origins goes for simple and healthy ingredients in their products. Checks and Balances is concentrated and you only have to use a small amount to get the job done. This is the only cleanser I ever use - love it!

The colors in this quad work beautifully together - something I can't say about too many other combination shadow products (including some of Longo's). The colors are subtle, which is perfect for daytime. The sparkle is subtle too and I haven't had any trouble with it migrating. The black shade is a good liner, making it a one-product option for travel. If I want something more intense I use them wet, deepen the color with more applications, use the black more extensively, or choose a darker color from my inventory. The pink and lavender shades really highlight my green eyes. I have very sensitive eyes and have to be careful about the shadows that I use, but this one causes no problems. The quad is on the expensive side, but in my experience you usually get what you pay for in makeup.

Yube cream is a spectacular hand cream that can be used on cuticles or feet as well. It sinks in right away and never leaves a residue. It is neither greasy nor waxy. I use Yube regularly and my manicurist always comments on the great condition of the skin on my hands. I gave tubes of Yube cream to friends and family members last year, and I should have bought stock in the company because they are all now using it regularly The scent has a hint of menthol, which some people do not like but which doesn't bother me. It goes away right away anyway. The price of this cream is, however, a bit steep. That is the only reason I rated it a 9 instead of a 10.
