I usually love most Clinique products, but this wasn't one of them. I used the whole bottle diligently, applying twice a day and didn't see any results. It soaks into the skin quickly but really does nothing for my skin. Definitely disappointed, considering how much this costs. Pass!

These worked great on me. My teeth weren't too bad, just slightly stained from coffee and red wine. Within 5 days my teeth were already gleaming white! I had strangers asking me how I got them so white. This product simply works. The sensitivity can be an issue, and I occasionally felt it but skipping a day or two fixed that problem. They definitely take a little bit of patience and a bit of extra planning to fit into your routine, but worth it for the results.

Amazing stuff. It goes on a dark olive poopy color and may look a little scary, but after you rinse off you are left with a bronze brown color that is not at all orange or fake looking. It is the most genuine tan color from a bottle that I have ever gotten, it is deep and dark (which is how I like it). It works fast too! When you put it on, you can see it on your skin immediately which helps you so you can see where you've already applied. It soaks into your skin faster than any other self tanner or lotion I've ever used. No more running around naked or standing in front of a fan waiting to dry before getting dressed! I've rinsed it off at the 5 hour mark and still have had great color. No weird smell either! Nothing is worse than that rotten fruit smell that most other tanners tend to have. My only small complaint is that the color does not last as long as the type you'd get from a gradual self tanning lotion. By 2-3 days my color is usually gone, even with diligent lotioning. But I really don't care, because the color is seriously that amazing. It's a pricey product, so I do tend to save it for special occasions.

This product is AMAZING! Amazing. It melts makeup off your face quickly and takes off the toughest eye make up without ripping your lashes out or stripping your skin. A small pump of it will effectively take all your make up off and gently clean and emulsify your skin. I do have an oily T-zone and was at first afraid to jump on the oil cleanser band wagon, but once I tried it I loved it. It magically balances out your skin after it rinses clean and does not leave it feeling oily at all. Just clean, comfortable and not dry or tight. Perfection! Over time I have seen this product improve the clarity and softness of my skin as well. The price may be a set back for many, but a little bit goes a long way and I can usually use the same bottle for many months. It is so worth the money. Definitely a holy grail face product!

I am drawn to NYX products mainly because they're cheap in price and the colors are usually awesome. At $3-4 a pop, it's easy to go crazy and buy a whole bunch of these colors because they are just so pretty. But beware, you do get what you pay for. While the colors are beautiful, the quality is blah. It goes on creamy and doesn't dry your lips, but the staying power is awful. It smudges easily and usually within the hour I have to reapply again. The pigmentation is also not great. I usually have to rub this into my lips quite heavily for good color pay off. It also has a strange soapy taste and smell to it. Not terrible, but not good either. I can deal with that, but my main complaint about NYX lipsticks is mostly the lack of staying power. And while I own about 6 of these lipsticks myself, I really would only recommend buying them if you want to try out a trendy shade for the season but don't want to invest in an expensive lipstick at MAC or something. It's a great brand if you're just experimenting with color or a make up newbie. The packaging is also very cute. It comes with about an inch of lipstick in the tube, as well as a removable clear plastic part at the bottom which has a weird gummy rubber thing in the color of the lipstick shade. Not sure what that is used for, but it's definitely creative.

This MAC product is my favorite tinted moisturizer. I never used tinted moisturizers before just because I never found one that I absolutely loved. Most either felt too heavy (I might as well wear foundation) or just left my skin feeling yucky. This Moisture Tint feels light and airy and sinks right into my skin. It leaves a perfect sheer coverage and makes my skin look soft and beautiful. It doesn't cover up acne but will even out your skin tone and soften mild blemishes and make pores look smaller. I am absolutely smitten. If you have oily skin, you might want to follow this with a blot powder just because it isn't a true matte finish when it dries. And while this product isn't moisturizing enough on its own (you still need to apply lotion before), I have absolutely no complaints and will be buying this again and again.

This has replaced my Clinique eye cream as my favorite night moisturizer! It is a thick, greasy, and lightly scented eye cream that does the trick. I'm in my early 20s and am diligent about taking care of the delicate skin around my eyes, and this product is perfect for keeping fine lines and wrinkles and under eye circles away. It's pricey, but a little bit goes a long way. It's a thick and greasy product that takes quite a bit of patting to soak in, so it's definitely only for night use. I've heard a lot of people say they don't like it because it's too greasy and they feel it just kind of sits on top of the skin, but you do need to have the patience to pat it into your skin. Fantastic product!

I used this about once a week to deep clean and de-gunk my hair from product build up and oil. It leaves my hair clean, soft, and voluminous since it does wash every trace of oil and product out. It is a little bit drying, so it is definitely not a daily shampoo. But it does leave your hair and scalp feeling squeaky clean. The scent is clean and crisp, which I love. A must have shampoo for those who have oily hair and use a lot of products!

I got the blue one (it came with my Clarisonic Mia 2). It's an average cleanser, similar to Clinique's liquid facial soap. They don't foam up a whole lot, which is great when used with the Clarisonic because the suds won't fall into your eyes when you are cleaning your forehead. But it doesn't make my skin feel great after I've used it. I wouldn't go out and buy this product on it's own, however. It's just an average cleanser, nothing special about it.

I'm pretty late to jump on the Clarisonic bandwagon...what was I waiting so long for?!! I've been using the Mia 2 for a month now and my skin looks absolutely glowing and flawless. My main problem were my huge clogged pores, oily skin, and the occasional pimple or two. Within a week of using, my pores shrunk by at least 50% and my once dull skin became glowing and radiant. I'm not even sure how to explain it, my skin just looks plump and like it is glowing from within. It did more than any serum or lotion could ever do for my skin. I am absolutely amazed. My skin is soft and feels balanced now. It didn't break me out at all as it did for others. I'm completely smitten with this product and feel it is completely worth the money. I realize the price does hold a lot of people back but it is so worth the investment. What you get is a high quality tool that delivers exactly what it claims. Your skin will thank you for it!
