This mascara does wonders. The brush is way too fat and just in the way; I'll never understand why people think huge fat brushes make big lashes--the brush has nothing to do with the mascara's benefits.

...for jumping in on the mineral makeup fad but for doing it well. I have tried BareMinerals makeup, the original mineral makeup craze, and I like L'Oreal's version much better. It does not look cakey and it does not settle into lines on your face. The color is good, and it has a higher SPF than BM too.

I felt like this product was a huge letdown after all the hype about it. It's supposed to look so natural that you can just keep piling it on, according to the infomercial, but that's just not the case--like any other powder foundation, it looks cakey and you can definitely tell you are wearing makeup. Furthermore, within a few hours of application it sort of settles into fine lines and looks really obvious, plus it comes off on your fingers if you touch it. Not at all what it was made out to be. I actually prefer L'Oreal's mineral makeup--which, incidentally, I am on my way to review next, with a much better rating--and it has a higher SPF too.

I really love BB's products, and for the price ($18 for a tiny little vial) I guess I just had higher expectations because it really didn't do anything. I'm only 25, so maybe there's not too much to "repair" yet, but I have significant sun damage (sun spots, yuck) on my chest and shoulders, and it did nothing to diminish those. It did smell good though, and I'm sure it didn't hurt to use it.

I really love this bronzer--the color is good and even when applied with a large brush, and I love that it includes SPF 50 in the powder, an extra bonus on top of my SPF moisturizer.

I love this hand lotion. It smells wonderful and it dries fairly quickly. My only hesitation with it is that I need hand lotion all throughout the day (frequent handwasher) and this has alpha hydroxy in it, which makes skin more susceptible to sun damage. So you might want to slather on some extra SPF cream on top of it, or just use it at night. This comined with my Burt's Bees cuticle cream has saved my poor hands!

My mother-in-law bought me this literally six years ago--before she was my mother-in-law, even, *lol*. I forgot about it and didn't start using it till I found it this past year--a six-year-old product and yet it works beautifully. I like to put this on my nails before bed, and the next morning they are literally transformed. I wash my hands a lot throughout the day (schoolteacher) so this is a real life-saver for me.

I have limp/baby fine hair that would never hold curl until I discovered this hair spray. It's amazing! I would use it on individual locks before setting in rollers for intense curls (and lots of volume) or afterward for softer curls. It holds all day. well worth the price!

This stuff is hard to find lately! I really love the subtle glow that it gives you. The only problem is that it sort of burns after you put it on, especially if your skin is raw (like wind-burned or your nose after you've been blowing it all day). But it is a good moisturizer, and the SPF is a plus too!

This concealer is intense. I have horrid undereye circles, and it does a good job of covering them up. It only comes in two shades though, which means it can make sort of a reverse-raccoon look if I don't blend it in well.
