I bought this product years ago after seeing Julia Roberts in it on the cover of a magazine. It's a wonderful lightweight tinted moisturizer, perfect for the weekend or when it's hot. It is not a heavy moisturizer so if you have dry skin it may not be ideal for you, but for those of us with combination skin I found it to have a nice coverage that is not too heavy. I was surprised at the expense, but it has lasted me a long time particularly because I do not use it everyday.

I have used eye brighteners and primers in the past without much success. I've never noticed a huge difference in the look and adherence in subsequent eye shadow and I've always liked a smoky eye look, not a "bright' eye look. Maybe I'm getting older because I really liked this. I've been using it sans eye shadow during the day and really like how it makes my eyes pop. It doesn't seem to make a difference as far as the look and feel of eye shadow, but I'm happy to wear this alone.

So let me just start by saying I have fine hair and typically don't use oils because they leave my hair looking and feeling greasy. I have started venturing back into trying oils because a) despite being fine, I have a lot of hair and it is thick. Creams just aren't taking care of the coarseness and frizziness of my hair and b) oils have come a long way and many don't seem as heavy as they once were. That seems to be true in this case. I put it on after my evening shower and just let my hair naturally dry. My hair is naturally curly and for once the curls looked manageable and not frizzy. I went ahead and ironed my hair in the morning as usual. I couldn't believe how sleek it looked even the next day. I am so excited I found this. It seems like it might replace every styling product.

They were OK. I don't really use eye treatments and found it difficult to work in my everyday, although, they are easy to apply and leave on. Mostly, though, I just didn't notice a different after use. I think I'll stick to cucumbers.

It's OK, but I wouldn't get it again. It is the consistency I like, particularly in a night time moisturizer. It just didn't do a lot. I prefer creams and moisturizers that have an active ingredient in them and leave my face a little tingly. Worse, it has an offensive scent that I could smell even under make-up.

So I'm not sure if it is a tinted moisturizer or not...It has the consistency of a moisturizer and the amount of color deposit like you would normally find in one. I used it on top of my daily moisturizer, which is really just sunscreen. I thought it looked fine. It didn't deposit a lot of color, which surprised me because it looked like mud in the container. I was OK with that, though, because I don't like to wear a lot of foundation. I was pleasantly surprised too that rather than coming off too dark it actually seemed to match my fair skin. I would keep using it for daytime wear.

I loved this mascara! I'm usually hard to please when it comes to mascara. I like a lot of length, but not too sticky or clumpy. I really didn't expect to be impressed. I thought the unusual brush was just a gimmick. I don't know if it made a difference or not, but I am really pleased at the amount of color that comes off on my lashes. It gives them the right amount of drama for a work day without any clumps. It may not be a dramatic enough for night-time wear. I'd have to try a few more applications to know for sure. For everyday, though, I'm sticking with it. The one thing I've noticed helps is going back on my end lashes with the brush. Sometimes there is not enough color deposited on the outside lashes. Other than that though, I think it does a really good job all over.

I usually love glycolic acid products as a way to exfoliate. This one wasn't doing it for me, though. To begin with, it was time-consuming to use - leave it on for 10 minutes then wash off with a washcloth. I have 3 kids, no time for that. I usually don't use facial masks for the same reason so I should've known. If I had seen some significant differences, I may have found a way to work it into my beauty routine, but I just didn't. I'll stick to daily cleansers with a little bit of glycolic acid in them.

I liked this lotion. It had the right amount of thickness, was easy to apply, and not too greasy. I wouldn't mind carrying a travel size in my purse. I probably wouldn't purchase it, though, because there wasn't anything about it that made it stand out from other lotions I've used in the past. In fact, I prefer the L'Occitane shea butter hand lotions that smell like lavender. This didn't have a scent, which some people prefer, but not me.

I usually don't use primers. They don't seem to make a huge difference when applying make-up and I try to keep my morning make-up routine streamlined to leave more time to sleep. First off, this was different from most I've used in the past because it appeared to have a little tint. I liked it. I would consider using it alone on the weekends. It worked really well under make-up, creating a perfect canvas on which to apply foundation. I still don't use it everyday, but on the days that I wake up earlier or am moving faster I have added to it to my routine.
