A while back I purchased this blush because I loved the shade (Brun Timide 7). It was similar to a shade I had worn for many years by a different company before it was discontinued. Although the shade is awesome for fair skin tones, and goes perfect with both warm and cool-shade glamour looks, I just don't like how this goes on. It just doesn't have an even wear to it. It's kind of blotchy and streaky. Plus, I noticed that the blush is getting that oily-type cakiness top layer to it already and I haven't had it that long (and yes, I keep my brushes clean all the time!) . I like the price, you get alot for your money, compact is nice and easy to carry. But I just don't think it is the formula for my oily skin. Might be better for someone with normal to dry skin.

This is my new favorite scent. Light, fruity, just a wear with anything perfume. Dress it up for an evening up or just enjoy it with a tee and jeans. It's not just light but very sexy too. At first it wasn't available in smaller bottles, but now on many cosmetic sites you can get smaller bottles with promotional packaging. Bottle is very pretty, too. Only thing I wish was that the scent lasted a little longer on me. But for how much I like it, I don't mind touching it up once or twice during the day!

This eyeliner brush is a must have for anyone who uses mineral or gel liners. It's thin, flexible but durable as heck! I wash it at least 1-2x a week (thanks to waterproof liners) and it keeps its shape and hasn't lost one bristle yet. The handle is long and allows you be tight and precise with application. A must have for anyone who wants top-of-the-line brushes. It will be worth the price for you, no doubt!

After using the same eye cream for 5 years, this was the first one I bought after I decided to switch. I researched this item quite a bit before I decided to invest the coin. I love how it feels silky when it goes on, I also think the consistency fills in whatever little lines there are. I haven't seen any more since I began using it, so I guess that's good. Plus a little goes a long way and the tube is decent sized. Since I have oily skin, I like using this eye cream in the morning because it doesn't cause my shadows/liners/mascaras to smudge--it's not greasy at all. I'm not sure if it "plumps" my eye area at all and am not sure about if it helps lighten any dark circles. I will continue to use it till it is gone, but will try other samples in the meantime just to compare. FYI, if you have really oily skin and want an eye cream that isn't too rich and heavy, this might just be what you'd like! If you have dry skin with many fine lines and dark circles, you may want to try a few others first.

I haven't been able to find a good cleanser in years. So I have been making my own at home with various ingredients. But a friend of mine recommended this cleansers because she likes "healthy" items...without irritating chemicals or preservatives. Since I tend to be a bit more oily in the summer, I got this product for now. I love how it gets my face squeaky clean without feeling "stripped". The scent is gentle (that's very important to me) and does not irritate my very sensitive skin. I usually use separate eye make up remover for my mascara and liner, but whatever I miss this takes off without hurting my eyes. Plus no toner is necessary! And even though the pump dispenser gives you a lot each time, you really don't need more than the size of a blueberry because it really foams up nice. I made need to get the "dry skin" cleanser for winter, but I'm loving this one today. Glad I found a healthy cleanser I can leave in my bathroom all the time!

I bought this after trying a sample packet. I loved it! I like how it tames the frizzies, keeps hair shiny and smooth, and doesn't weigh hair down. Not overly "detangling" but somewhat moisturizing. I don't have a problem with the smell at all. Smells like most leave in conditioners. Price is a bit out there, but you don't need alot and it's well worth it! I will definitely buy again.

I got a deluxe sample of this a couple of month's ago at my Sephora store. I had heard the hype and was anxious to try it out. This is a finishing powder that looks white in the jar but goes on transparent. No matter what type of foundation you use, you can finish off your look with this item. You can also wear it alone if you have good skin and just want to keep shine to a minimum and give your skin a finished look. It is TALC FREE which my ultimate sensitive skin loves! It sets all makeup and gives a finished matte look for the entire day. Makeup artists would tell you this is a perfect powder for eliminating shine in between photo shoots. It's ground superfine and I find it easiest to put on with a flat, rounded foundation brush. It keeps it from flying everywhere and still gives you a "tight" application. I bought a full sized jar, but I'm still using the super sample that I got over three months ago. Considering how long it lasts and the look I get, it's definitely well worth the investment!

I had my doubts about a $9 lip balm. I mean there was a time in my life I wouldn't spend over $1 for Chapstick! But this was well worth the price and than some! I seem to not misplace the little jar as much as I do a stick or a wand. And you use so little it lasts quite a long time. I just reordered another jar of the Guava so I have one for home and one for my purse. It's a must have at bedtime too, if you have a tendency for overnight dry lips. The guava has no color, only a slightly frosty shine and is perfect under all lipsticks or glosses. Splurge...your lips will thank you!

I used to watch Jonathan Anton on his Bravo show and every cut he did, he finished with "Dirt". When I finally got to a Sephora to try it, I got the small jar because I just wasn't sure and I have unloaded mega dollars over the years on hair products that did not come thru. This is a product that definitely takes time to master. I have moderately long, layered, color treated thick hair. Too much product will definitely weigh hair down and make it flat. But the right amount on both dry and damp hair can give you a salon look. And the scent is to die for! Practice makes perfect, but it's still a must have in my bathroom!

I like aerosol hair sprays better than spritzes but none have had the hold or the scent I have been able to tolerate. VO5 is the best! I don't know why I waste my money thinking I'm going to find something better, I just need to "stick" with this one! It has a nice scent but does not have the fume-y smell. The hold is killer and lasts all day for me. I also like the fact you can spray it when your hair is damp to lock in the semi-wet look without the hair moving. Oh, and did I mention it is wicked cheap? Don't bother with the big fancy name brand hair sprays. This one does all you need it to do and more!
