But easy to smudge and then you are stuck with that unless you take it all off and start over. The colors were a bit disappointing. Not as "vibrant" as advertised. I'm going to keep looking for something less milled.

Unless you are buying this on Elizabeth Arden's website for her Gifts With Purchase, I don't get the hype about this product. It's orange, greasy and smells bad. I can't pet my cat with this handcreame on, and it rubs off on my sheets when I wear it bed. Vaseline has a softer consistancy and does the job just as well.

Elizabeth Arden's website gives some awesome gifts with purchases. This is the only reason to buy the Lip Protectant, for the GWP. Otherwise save yourself $15 and buy a chapstick. The product feels good when you put it on but doesn't last on the lips long. It also has an odd smell and a strange taste.

I bought this to try after rave reviews in all the magazines. It was my first time trying a serum, and while I liked it, I've discovered a better brand and oil from Josie Maran. The Keihl's was pleasant and not oily once it sunk in, but I did have to use more than two drops to cover my face. And I didn't see the results I was expecting from the reviews I read. Maybe if it hadn't been hyped up so much, I would have like it more.

My two reactions after using this product were 1/ My hair looks better than it has in a long time, and 2/ There is no way that the product amount, 12 oz, will last a month if used as directed. Tough choice, so instead I use less harsh shampoo for color treated hair. Then I take about six pumps, instead of fourty, and use it just like a regular conditioner. I use one pump as a leave in conditioner. My hair looks just the same using it as only a conditioner, as it did using it as a cleansing conditioner. Wen was created back when shampoo like Prell would strip all the oils from the hair. Nowadays there are shampoos that are designed to be gentle and color preserving. This way you can have the best of both worlds.

The first time I went to the drugstore to buy an acne specific product, I was blown away with the number of creams and toners that I would have to choose from. Luckily, there was a mother-daughter duo in the same aisle looking for the same product. They had just come from the dermatologist, I overheard, so I decided I was going to buy whatever they bought. How great for me that it was this product! I use it nightly to remove my makeup and have been virtually blemish free for fifteen years. My skin is so smooth and moisturized after using this. You can feel it working as soon as you put it on. If I do have a breakout, I just dab a small amount on the area and sleep with it on overnight. No need for the expensive stuff and a tube will last you for months.

If you love Josie Maran's Argan Oil and buy it on QVC, she sells a bundle of of her full size products for less than $20 more than the oil itself. I think it's neat that she usually includes a bonus with each purchase so you can try her different products. Now you can get her tinted moisturizer, concealer, blush, lip stain and a bottle of 100% pure Argan oil for not much more. Add your favorite eye shadow and mascara and you not only do you have a full face of cosmedics, you have a moisturizing system as well. I've tried Keihl's Midnight Recovery Serum and liked it, but it doesn't compare to the Argan Oil. I use eight drops a night and my skin loves it.

Laura's Sugar Free line of eyeshadows and blushes means that they have no sparkles in them. They seem to appeal to women who have grown out of the "sparkles are cute" phase. I'm not quite there yet, but this Blush is just as great as her Sugared versions. You can see that there are different colors swirled together. Just go for it and apply to the apples of your cheeks. Then pull out individual colors for your eyelids and highlighter. It is amazing how many looks you can get from one compact. I've never used a compact up, but I must admit I'm addicted and have several color combinations.

This brush included for just $4.00 more when ordering a Baked Powder product from QVC or Laura's site. Because it's retractable, you control how much powder you want it to pick up. Open a little for more coverage or around the curves of the nose and eyes. Open it wide for a kabuki style brush that you can swirl in the compact and onto your face. Mine did come unglued at the base after about two year of use, but I just super-glued it back together. I actually have several of these since they are such a bargain when I re-order my products.

It seems like a great concept to have both foundation and a bronzer in the same compact. Unfortunately, because of the way they are baked together, if you drop the compact, the product will split and then crumble on one side. If you love the Baked N Balance as much as I do, make the splurge and buy Baked N Bronze in it's own full size compact.
