I purchased this several months ago as part of a kit. I was expecting it to be sort of a step above Josie's Tinted Moisturizer, which I LOVE, but this needs to be released in a few extra shades because the whole "one color suits all" is NOT true in this case. I purchased the lightest shade available and I cannot begin to say how orange it was. It applies beautifully and wears really well, it feels so amazing on the skin, but there's no way I can sing it's praises when the matchmaker technology that Josie raved about failed me. If you're Medium, Tan, or Darker complected, then you should absolutely try this product. But if you're truly Fair to Light, steer clear, for you will be a step closer to Oompa Loompa, and no smart woman wants to look like that.

I've been using this off and on for about two years. The first one I got with a bottle of her AMAZING Argan Oil, and it was a smaller tube than the full size. That one is called Rosey and it's a good blush and lip color, very moisturizing. I then received other colors (Petal Pink, Summer Lovin', Glow, and Love) in various kits. Summer Lovin' is VERY close to NARS 'O', it's a beautiful color, but is unfortunately too peachy-gold for my naturally pale complexion. Glow is the shade I've since stuck with. It's a very dry consistency for what is supposed to be an easy to apply cream blush. Plus, it does not last the entire day. My face doesn't normally "eat" blush, so the fact that this was completely gone from my face after an hour or so was irritatingly bothersome. I don't want to have to reapply constantly throughout the day, it defeats the purpose entirely. Maybe other people are getting better batches of this stuff, I don't know, but I won't intentionally purchase this item again. I think you're getting an amazing amount of product in one of these tubes, which totally justifies the cost (plus it's natural AND good for your skin, a major bonus), but I prefer a one shot application with my blush, so this is not going to be a staple for me. I might try it again at some point if I find a better color. If so, I will then re-visit my review.

I've been using Josie's line of products for almost two years. I love so many of them, but this lip gloss isn't one of her best. For me, it's very similar to so many other lip glosses on the market, the only difference being the ingredients. This gloss need not plump lips that are already full. Also, I'd prefer a more interesting color selection. Glow is pretty, as is Summer Lovin', but I ended up keeping neither. If you are going to try any of Josie's products I highly recommend the Argan Oil and one of her Tinted Moisturizers with SPF. Those are the standouts in this 100% natural line.

I have used many Phyto products, but have found them all to be over-priced without solid results in any one area. I like that this is a healthy product for your hair, but again, I have not seen any results that warrant continued use.

This is an expensive product considering you can get the same results by mixing one up yourself. It's basically peppermint sugar with some moisturizing oil in it. The granules are slightly larger, so you really have to give them some melting time in order to truly get exfoliation. I use this when I've run out of my usual Brown Sugar lip scrub. I prefer something that is really going to work, and this just doesn't do it for me.

Laura Geller puts out a phenomenal line of make-up, but this one in particular just doesn't do it for me. The lightest shade of this is not quite light enough, so the yellows and oranges in it absolutely look wrong on my skin. The formula itself applies like a dream, very smooth. It's full of anti-aging benefits, so it's a good fit for all ages, so I recommend it if it's a good color match for your skin, but mine is a hard one to match, so I can't use this product until Laura releases one for the fairest of the fair in terms of skin tone.

I own three of these brushes. One is in my purse at all times, one is in my regular home make-up kit, and the other is sealed as back-up. This is a 100% synthethic hair brush, so you don't have to worry about using it if you're worried about it being animal hair. You also don't have to worry about bacteria on it like you do with a natural hair brush, though I still recommend cleaning it. This gives you one of the best applications of pretty much anything in the world. I only use a handful of Laura's products, but this brush is an absolute dream that I am confident using with anything from blush to translucent powder.

I bought a bottle of this when it first came out and I have not has to replace it once. This may be too shimmery or too much highlight for some people, but it absolurel gives the skin a "lit from within" glow.

Urban Decay puts out a perfectly good mascara in this waterproof version of one of their best sellers, but this one isn't for me. I hate the brush and this seems to dry out on me really fast. I use it three times and it needs to be tossed, which just isn't worth it to me. And removing it is probably what I am doing while it's in the tube drying up!!

I've been using this mascara on and off for years. I've used it in pretty much every color it comes in, blue being my favorite. The formula is pretty much the same in each tube. The brush is a two coats and you're good to go. This is not one of those clumpy, gloopy, runny, really messy to wear products. I often layer my mascara in 2-4 coats, but this stuff does not require that much work. It's also one of the easier to remove mascaras for a waterproof version.
