Not sure if this will be a fair review or not. I have been using this retinol eye cream for about 2 weeks now. I'm in my late twenties, so I am using this as my first retinol to try to prevent lines around the eyes, and I was beginning to notice very small fine lines forming from years of smiling. Everyone has talked about the stinging/burning sensation from using this type of cream and I didn't experience it until the 4th night of use. But it still didn't seem like it was making much of a difference, or either my fine lines are so fine that I don't have enough wrinkles to notice a difference? I even started using the eye cream in the morning and at night time (with an spf of course), since the retinol makes your skin even more susceptible to sun damage. I will continue to use until it is all gone, but if I don't see any noticeable changes for the better, I will be disappointed. At least the price is reasonable compared to other retinol creams. I also heard that the ROC line is great and affordable. I might try that next.

OMG! Love it! I especially like scrubs in the summer time like this one, but I must say that the smell is so intoxicating that I may want to try to incorporate this scrub into my shower routine through any season. The only downside is that this scrub is expensive and comes in a small jar. Aside from the price, which is a splurge that I must admit, is worth it, this scrub does everything that a good scrub should do. It exfoliates gently, but effectively and leaves a pleasant moisturizing oil on the skin, so no lotion necessary after your shower. I mean the scent would work on a man or a woman. I absolutely LOVE just smelling myself for hours after using this scrub. If you want a treat, go splurge on this one...worth it!!!

First of all, $3. What a value. Second, this powder balances out skin tone and erases oil and shine with one swipe! I love this mattifying powder because it does everything that a good powder should do. It really evens out my complexion and gives me that "soft skin" look. After this, my skin feels like velvet and looks so smooth. I can't get through a day without it. It's seriously ADDICTIVE!

I just tried this for the first time and I really like it! 3 hours after applying the creamy, rich, decadent little cream, I still feel my skin as remaining moist. This is a great quality in a night cream because it will continue to provide moisture throughout the entire night while our skin repairs in it's sleep. Also, the arctic berry that is used in the formula has a very peasant, orange-like scent without being overpowering. This is a very nice night cream and I would recommend this for anyone, maybe with the exception of those that have naturally oily complexions.

If you are looking for a daily moisturizer that provides great SPF, makes skin feel soft and smells good, then this is the moisturizer for you. Not only does it do all of these great things, but it also contains the Camu Camu berry from the amazon in South America, which is extremely rich in antioxidants, particulraly vitamin C, hence the name. These antioxidants play an important role in preventing further UV damage to your skin by working as a back up agent to your SPF in the moisturizing process. This product smells more like a citrusy grapefruit than an orange, but is still stimulating and something that I look forward to every morning as a part of my daily skin care routine. Try it!

I'm always searching for better eye products to minimize dark eye circles, under eye lines and puffiness, and this product does all three and more! After one use, I noticed that the skin around my eyes was instantly brightened, moisturized and appeared well rested. The gel like strips are placed upon your skin, under the eyes and adheres to your face comfortably, until you are ready to remove. I found the strips to be cooling and relaxing. For maximum results, you can leave them on from 20 mins. to over night. I left them on for about 30 mins. for my results, but next time I will try leaving them on over night. You could probably use them about 2-3 times per week, but I am applying them once a week at night. I hope that all the ladies with under eye issues give this one a try. This is a really great treatment for eyes!

Just tried it for the first time and I am a very fair girl with freckles and moles, so I like to try not to get burned if I can help it, but still crave that golden summer glow. So, I decided to give this spray a try and I am glad that I did. First of all, the smell is great! It smells like yummy brown sugar. I got my boyfriend to spray me in the shower because it will leave a fine film on the bathroom floor that you might have to scrub up later, fyi. Also, I applied a light amount of lotion on top of the spray to really ensure that the coverage would be even. You may need to wash your hands immediately as this color starts to appear almost instantly and it gets even darker a few hours later. You may need to do touch ups every few days to maintain or you can add another layer for more tan. So far, this is the best self tanner I've tried!

Use only a little bit, but perfect for covering up anything from fine lines to blemishes to discolorations. Then blend with makeup and poof, imperfections disappear instantly. Best concealer I've found for my eyes and I have tried just about everything that is affordable.

This just didn't do much for me. Everybody else raves about this primer, but it's not even in the same league as DHC's Velvet Skin. If anyone knows of a better primer than Velvet Skin, let me know because I would love to try. I wanted something more affordable, so I purchased this primer (in the white tube), and the consistency straight out of the tue was like a watery bright white lotion. It just sunk into the skin immediately, similar to a moisturizer. It was slightly shiney on my skin. My skin type is combination/normal, so maybe that's why it didn't work well for me? I saw no difference from using this under my foundation to not using a primer at all. I did enjoy the scent, it is a sweet, pleasant smell. I will continue to use, and hopefully see better results but I thought the pupose of a primer was to instantly, if not temporarily create a smooth, matte appearance, not a dewey look. I can use highlighter and moisturizer for that.

My mom got this cleansing system for my sister and me for Christmas last year and I was a little skeptical at first because I didn't think that I needed microdermabrasion. Now, I don't know how I went without doing weekly microderm, especially with this product! I started out using it daily during the winter and found that it was beginning to leave me with dry, flaky skin around my hair line. Not wanting to give this up as part of my skin care regime, I slowly weened myself off the brush & cleanser from everyday to every other day, to every 3 days, and now I only have to do this once a week. I always look forward to the night that I use this cleanser as I find it very relaxing. The little microbeads in this creamy-like cleanser are the perfect size to gently exfoliate your skin's surface without causing brocken cappilaries or micro tears like some other more abrasive scrubs can do. You will not beleive how much dirt, or makeup will come off your face and unto this brush. It also does an amazing job at improving blood flow and circulation in the skin, which really helps skin cell turnover. EXCELLENT product! This is my choice for perfect skin cleansing and it is most certainly worth a try for ANY skin type. You could be missing out if you don't at least try it!
