I'm those people who just have to have conditioner. Without it, my hair is noticeably more frizzier and tangled. This makes my hair super manageable, soft, and smooth. It has a pleasant scent that isn't too in your face like Herbal Essences. My only beef is compared to the shampoo...it just doesn't seem like you get enough conditioner. (But you still get alot, don't get me wrong)

The "Swirl, Tap, Buff" thing is trademark Bareminerals stuff. This brush does the "buffing" step well. It's soft and doesn't cake on the powder or foundation, now I have an even skin tone that looks natural! XD

You really don't have to use this just for blush. I have two, from buying the sets (which are superb deals btw) and I use one as a powder brush. I wish some of the hairs would not come off, though, but it is not such a big deal that I'm losing sleep over it. I advise bypassing the expensive brush cleaners and just wash it with shampoo, like...for your hair. Just be sure to rinse it all out.

I have the blush in "Courage" from my Perfect 10 set from QVC. It looks natural, blends in well, and lasts forever. Remember to tightly put the cap on the jar, or you'll get it all over the place.

The stuff didn't cake on my face, and it lasted all day. I use mines as blush, and would advise against using the pinker shades as highlighter on your forehead and chin unless you want to have a rosy chin. XD The darker colours are great as bronzer. The more translucent tones are great as brow bone/cheek bone highlights.

BareMinerals Original Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15
Make sure you're adequately moisturized beforehand!
I got this in light, and it was a little more pink in tone than I expected but it wasn't noticeable. If you apply it without having a well moisturized face before hand, you'll look like you got attacked by a sack of $25 dollar flour. But applied correctly, it evened out my skin tone without making me look like a makeup monster and kept my face oil free for 12 hours. (On top of the wondrous oil fighting powers of the mineral veil, I never have to use blotting paper again!) Not overrated in the slightest.

Okay this just smells wonderful. As the site said..."sugar cookie"-ish. It wore for a long time, had a nice colour (I got Zena from my Perfect 10 kit on QVC), and plumped my lips slightly although I didn't need it to begin with. The burning sensation at first was surprising and I was expecting to break out in hives or something but it's totally natural and barely noticeable later on. The tube is kinda huge though, which is a good and slightly bad thing.

I got a sample for "Aromarant" and it smells good. I didn't get the dreaded fire pits or anything, but I hated applying it with my hand because if anyone has gotten deodorant on their hands, it's a pain to wash off. After a few hours I was a damp in the armpits (how unglamorous) as well as smell slightly sweaty. 1 point for the smell.

If heaven had a smell, anyways. This is a vanilla-scented body cream. At first it smells a bit like the plastic jar, but that goes away shortly afterward. You get a pretty good sized tub for the amount of money you spend, although I just wish it was a bit bigger. My skin is very dry, and prone to spontaneously exploding into a glorious field of eczema at the first sign of dryness but this moisturized it and kept it happy--in addition to making me smell so good.

I bought Egg Snog and Honey Trap balms. They both smell wonderful, but Egg Snog was horrible. It made the skin on and around my mouth peel and irritated and did not moisturize at all. Honey Trap on the other hand was soo balmy and moisturized my lips for hours. It smelt sooo good but I wish it didn't melt so fast...sigh. What is the deal with TotalBeauty not having individual product pages and just grouping a bunch of Lush stuff into large categories?
