Virtually unscented! We are a chemically sensitive household in some respects. I simply cannot wear traditional lotions anymore as my husband gets migraines from perfumes and scents even several hours after initial application. This lotion pleases us both. Little scent, effective but nongreasy moisturizing. And for the lotion hater that he is he will use this. Costco has it at great prices too!

Received this to review and while waiting for it to arrive was impressed with all the Amazon reviews. I have to start by saying that I am 44 yoa, with olive combination skin. About 3 1/2 yrs ago my skin started changing, typical to pre-menopause. Flaky, almost scaley patches, sensitive itchy jawline... And then after experimenting quite a bit I settled on a new regimen of natural skincare that has mostly eliminated my adult acne, dry patches and redness.. Only the occasional itchiness. So, FFW to today. I've been using Prevage for a few days now. Nice packaging with a higher end look, not that I care really, although at this price point seems to fit. It's thick and creamy, with heavy perfume (the latter being my least favorite thing about it). It feels great going on and the recommendation is a pea-sized amount nightly. Absorbs quickly without greasy feel. I can't say I noticed a difference in my skin which already has been at its best. In fact, I broke out which hasn't happened in quite a while. It's really hard for me to say much about this product as I really can't tell a difference. The regimen I mentioned at the outset already leaves my skin soft and supple, with infrequent breakouts. I already wake up feeling soft and fresh. Other than the scent being too strong I have nothing negative to report about it.

I've switched to this mascara for almost a week now and I love it. The first thing I noticed was of course the slick packaging. Although I like the look & feel it is generally not a factor since like friends, what counts is what's on the inside! I pulled out the wand and instantly noticed two things: 1. it comes out smoothly. No resistance which I rather liked, hard to explain, 2. The BRUSH!!! That BRUSH!!! I immediately flashed to those mascara ads that look so fake, where the lashes cross. It's a true black, rich & luscious. This mascara goes on smooth, adds thickness and length without clumping, flakes or smudging. Normally, I have to comb out my lashes immediately after applying mascara to separate lashes and remove clumps. My new favorite!

Received one of these to review and was so excited to try it. My skin has been changing as I get older, I think hormonal changes have done me in. Dry scaly patches and such, so I was very curious if these treatments would help. I used it the very next day after I received it with the mildest tip. As recommended I washed and let my skin dry before using. I wondered if my face would react to the abrasion, but it didn't. I used witch hazel as a tonic, and yes to blueberries night cream. The next day, my skin felt so smooth and soft and like truly clean! The next treatment a week later I used the tip that was a little stronger because I was impatient to wait another week. This time I had a couple of flare ups but I probably stepped up too soon. I'm interested to see how my skin responds after 6 months. I think it makes a real difference, and will continue to use it. Tips need to be replaced after 4 uses I think. Overall I'm really happy with and hope to check in after a few months.

Okay so...hello! You need this! It's great! Gives good lift/volume wherever I spray it, not greasy or heavy. I'm hooked! I'm tossing my 'big hair' mousse, this worked better than that!!!

Scent is strong but temporary, makes my hair feel less slick which is what I want in a dry Shampoo. Definitely less noticeable on my dark hair than other types I've tried. Will keep some around for emergencies.

Not really a fan. First off it was much too white on me. Second, i didn't find it that soothing at all. I expected it to feel good going on and it was just eh for me. But, i passed it on to a friend, we'll see what she says.

Overall this product seemed innopvative and like a fun new product...I wanted to love it...I don't. My hair was left feeling grasy and heavy.

I was meant to write by review by the 19th, so this is a little late...but I went off on a vacation soon after receiving my product and took my Wella Brilliance Shampoo with me! So here I am... Big mistake. At first at home, I thought I liked the product because it left my hair feeling so smooth...but...little did I realize. The heavy & quickly greasy feeling hair I mistakenly blamed on running around prepping for my trip, was not just because it was warm and I was sweaty. Nope that wasn't it. I went away to the most beautiful fall crisp cool weather on my trip...and still with the heavy hair. Was I imagining it? I stumbled on another reviewer who had the same experience and realized I wasn't the only one. Then I came to post my review on Total Beauty and see others commenting similarly. So, it's not just me and my hair, it's the product! As my trip wore on I couldn't wait to get home to different shampoo...my thick coarse hair was so heavy it felt like I had a ton of product in it every day. Normally I shampoo every other day, but I was so anxious to feel clean again I shampooed every morning! I never have to do that! It's no wonder I was frustated with my hair every day...after an hour or two I'd just look limp & greasy...I don't reccomend this product at all. I wanted to like it...it sure sounded interesting but no dice....look elsewhere. Sorry Wella this was a #shampooFail

they all look pink...what's up with that...so not the way they are. I LOVE this stuff! Works well without being cakey...I use it to set my oily eyelids and along the T-zone. Don't know what else to say, works great! Be aware that this product is not designed for coverage; merely as a light setting powder that also absorbs that T-zone shine! For coverage try Powder Buff
