I've always loved powder foundations because they are quick and easy. This is just perfect. I apply with Guerlain Meteorites Brush. Just a light swipe over the powder for each section of my face. I have some redness on cheeks and this evens out my skin tone flawlessly with only a light coverage. I don't have to pack it on, although the coverage is buildable. I have dry and dehydrated skin so I use creamy moisturizer and sunblock and did not have a problem with this powder getting cakey. It's a dry look when first applied but once it has settled and blended with the creams and oils on my skin it looks like your own natural skin but flawless! It's long lasting and oil free, but not oil controlling. I have a light complexion and usually use the second light shade in powders and foundations. I use Ivory-201 the third lightest shade and it's a perfect match; the color blended in perfectly.

This was easy to use. The balm forms a moisture barrier to prevent irritation. Easy to wipe off cream & balm with a tissue. No redness, just soft, smooth, velvety, normal skin. The only con was the scent of the cream smelled like hair dye and it was right under my nose so it made me a little nauseous.

Great for dry, sensitive skin. I only use once a week. About a large pea size for the whole face. Skin feels soft and smooth. But do not use for longer than the recommended one minute. Using it for too long can be irritating.

Have not used on hair. It's a great mist to hydrate skin. Feels like water, not greasy or sticky. The dispenser mists at an upward angle, really weird. I transferred it to a smaller mist to travel with. Great price for the amount you get.

My skin was really dehydrated and flaky when I started using this. It did not work right away. Noticed results in about 2 weeks. Dry patches are gone. It's rich and creamy but not greasy. I use a large pea size and my skin drinks it up. Does not clog pores. Even the redness on my cheeks has diminished; not gone but I need less makeup to cover up the redness.

Love its floral fragrance! It's creamy not too thick nor too watery. It's like a lotion moisturizer. I use two pumps on dry skin and do a massage routine before wiping with tissue then rinsing off. Leaves skin soft, smooth & hydrated. Great for dehydrated skin, dryness, flakiness. Will remove light eye makeup.

I tried this in Espresso/Deeply Brown, and the brown is not dark enough as the name would imply. Under certain lighting there are very reddish tones; this could be my natural color showing through as I naturally have copper tones in my dark brown hair. I don't see any darker brown shade than this in the Feria line. The weekly conditioner included is very drying. UPDATE 4/11/11: I thought the Espresso was too light so I tried Midnight Sky which is a natural black. It looked a natural black when not under any lighting which I liked but under certain brighter lighting there were very yellow tones over the black which looked tacky - too much contrast between yellow and black. I think it may be the "shimmering tones"??? I have not tried Feria without the shimmer packet but it's very unlikely I will ever use Feria again. Changing my previous rating of 7 to a 2 now. I have now switched to L'Oreal's Healthy Look which I like much better.

Shiseido Benefiance Concentrated Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream
Like its name says, it is "concentrated" &"anti-wrinkle"
You need the smallest amount compared to other eye creams. If you use the same amount as other eye creams then it feels thick and a little greasy because this is a "concentrated" eye cream. I used the tiniest amount twice on non consecutive days. Then one night I applied it thickly. The next morning I applied it thick again and a lot of powder just clung to it so I had concentrated powder under my eyes. Then after I washed my face that night I noticed the fine lines under the outer corners of my eyes were less noticeable! These lines have been there forever (I'm 33). Am so excited I had to post a review. Too bad this has not worked for everyone. I will update after more usage.

The name is misleading, it's actually a light lotion not an oil. It smooths on easily. You don't need to spend a lot of time blending it into your skin. It's absorbed quickly leaving you with soft, smooth, velvety skin. Not greasy or sticky. I like this a lot more than their whipped souffle which was a little sticky to me. This also really stops the itching I get from cold weather. Smells like oatmeal cookies but once applied the scent is very subtle, barely noticeable. Even thought it's light it's very effective at hydrating and I can use this year round.

I have this in Blonde-y a golden taupe. I have always liked taupe colored brow pencils because it looks natural. This is a bit lighter than YSL's #4 which I also have. It's very easy to use - just color over your brows with the pencil then blend with the brush.
