The rougher chunks in this type of exfoliater does seem to work better than microbead versions, however, like others have said, you should be careful when you use this scrub. I alternate the regular scrub with the gentle formula version and try not to beat my face up while using these. This has made my skin look fresher and cleaner for years; I get compliments on my skin now when as a teenager I had scarring acne. This is a super cheap product that gets the job done.

This is a great, light-weight tinted moisturizer for days when you don't need or want to wear heavier foundation. The color selection is slim but the formula blends so well into your skin that most should not have a problem with it. There is a strong scent to it that smells vaguely masculine but it disappears after you're finished applying it. This has just enough coverage to even out my skin a bit but still look natural. I much prefer this to Neutragena's Healthy Skin Glow Sheers tinted moisturizer.

I was surprised at how well this mascara worked. I wore it yesterday and felt like my lashes were almost too noticeable, they were that dramatic looking. I have 3 of the Luxe shades so when Costco was selling 3 of them for $13.99 (also another 3 dollars off with a coupon) I decided to give the original in Very Black a try. I really liked the Luxe versions but this one gives a more dramatic look because it is a very dark black. It hasn't flaked, smudged or clumped on me and I pile on mascara, My lashes were very full, defined but also lengthened. The only reason I give this 9 stars instead of 10 is because unlike L'oreal Voluminous and the Extreme Volume Collagen mascaras, this contains no "softening" ingredients; so your lashes won't feel as soft.

I have this in the clear color to use on my eyebrows. It leaves them pretty soft and pliable, not like there is a hard gel on them. I couldn't tell you about the little fibers except that they are not noticeable on eyebrows. I would buy this again if Jane wasn't going out of business. :(

I like how this foundation goes on light, almost like a tinted moisturizer, but it still somehow has a good coverage. This will leave you with a dewy look; a bit too dewy for my combo skin so I use this with the Mineral Power Pressed Powder. I do have to blot mid-day but I always have to anyway and this has not broken out my skin. I think my shade is tiny bit too light and pink for my skin tone but I would try this again in a different shade.

Maybelline New York Mineral Power Finishing Veil Pressed Powder
Mineral Power Pressed Powder in Light
This powder is really supposed to be an almost translucent powder so I can't say how it would work alone. I use this powder in conjunction with the Mineral Power Liquid foundation and the two together make for an almost flawless -looking coverage. It keeps shine at bay for a couple hours. (I do have to blot my face still but that happens with every powder I have used). If I repurchase the liquid I will definitely get the powder to go with it again.

I have been experimenting with all the new foundation lines lately and have decided that after I use everything up I will continue to buy this concealer for sure. This is infinitely better than my previous CoverGirl's Fresh Complexion liquid concealer. This actually conceals, and I like how they match the color to your foundation; I don't want certain spots higlighted by the too light concealer we are all taught to use. This lasts pretty long for me combined with the Mineral Power Pressed Powder.

I have been using this for awhile now and still love it. I mostly use it like a sparkly blush on my cheeks, which should tell you something because I have difficulty finding a good powder blush that isn't clownish. If I use it elsewhere then I do so sparingly because my skin can get oily and too much shimmer doesn't' help. Very pretty colors to it (peachy pink, golden beige and white stripes), doesn't look garish on my skin tone, almost natural but with shimmer.

I don't usually like to go with liquid foundations so when this mousse version came out I was excited to try it. This is great foundation, I like it much better than the Dream Matte Mousse. My skin is combo so it tends to be dry in some spots and the Dream Matte would accentuate the flakiness, but this stuff leaves my skin dewy, I just use the Matte powder over the ares that are more oily and it gives a nice even coverage and finish. I am having a bit trouble finding the right shade but that is nothing new for me. :) it does seem to fill in pores and make them less noticeable but has also not caused me to breakout. Give it a try!

These are great, inexpensive powder blushes. They are non-comedogenic unlike theCovergirl Cheekers and come in a wide variety of shades. They do fade a little over time but I tend to put too much of Berry Sorbet on so it fades to a nice, more subtle pop of pink. Plush Plum is a more recent purchase but I am already in love with the light plummy color. I hadn't seen any other inexpensive purplish blushes. The brush that comes with is alright for no-time situations (putting makeup on in a car) but otherwise you may want to get a blush brush.
