I bought this for my daughter in dark purple. I am by no means a pro or even an amateur, for that matter, at nails. I put this over 2 coats of OPI in a purple-is magenta color and it looked way cool! It is not difficult, nor do you have to have a steady hand or be extremely neat. As long as you are consistent with the amount you use and technique, it looks great! It dries fast and lasts. Yay!

This is an high quality, effective broad spectrum suncreen with antioxidants. What makes this product unique is that it does not contain the high amount of alcohol found in other spray type sunscreen which is bad for your skin nor does it contain fragrance or other "cooling" irritants. It never causes my sensitive skin to react (I use this on my body, not my face). The kids love it because it does not feel cold when it sprays on--it goes on in a fine mist. It feels like a dry oil spray, and it quickly absorbs and feels like you are not wearing sunscreen at all.

This is an exceptional serum. I tried a sample of this and fell in love. It has good packaging to keep the product airtight, potent, and sanitary. It is less expensive that Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair and more that Olay's Regenerist Fragrance Free Serum, but very comparable. I actually prefer it to Lauder's. It is does not have a fragrance and feels great on the skin, leaving it smooth, hydrated and soft without any irritation or causing acne. If you like anti-aging serums this is an excellent one which should give your results.

I used this to remove polish from all of my finger nails and probably could have removed them from my toes too. They were a little pricey, but were convenient, effective and I did not get those little cottony linty remnants left on my fingers. Nice to stash in your purse. Convenient--nothing to spill.

It cleaned my skin well, but made it red and irritated. It is inexpensive, but has too much fragrance. I would not recommend this for regular use and for sure not for sensitive skin. Neutrogena has other much better cleansers.

I have been trying to find a replacement for my Clinique City Stick and thought I would try this. I love the spf 25 factor--future wrinkle prevention. It is creamy and not too dry. It covers my dark circles really well, lasts, it is not drying and I was able to successfully choose a great color that blends perfectly with my skin with the help of their online chat reps. It is not ashy looking and warm 2 matches my skin. It does not settle into fine wrinkles and covers spots well. It is on the high side of what I would pay for a concealer, but worth it.

This is fine as a primer under makeup for temporarily cosmetically smoothing pores (think spackle) when used from time to time. I personally would not use it regularly or use it if you have sensitive skin because it contains a lot of alcohol which is not good for any skin type and rosemary which is a skin irritant. It did make my face red. Clinique has much better skin care options and I prefer Smashbox's primer because they work as well and do not have the irritation potential.

I have straight, very fine, unruly hair. I am hair impaired, and generally have a difficult time with hair accessories. They usually fall out or do not hold my hair, pull out or break my hair. I was skeptical about these staying in and holding my hair in place, but curious and kept picking them up and putting them back at the store. They were on sale and I finally broke down and bought them. It is SO easy to make cute hair styles with these. I did a bun and also a "too cute" half up-do with the sides of my hair pulled back into a bun--I love it as I am growing out my bangs and layers. These are great for fine hair. If you have thick, curly hair, try the full sized ones.

This is a high quality powder with a built-in grinder. It gives a nice natural perfecting finish. It is almost matte, but with a tiny bit of glowing dimension, so it both conceals wrinkles and imperfections without being flat. The color match for my light-med. skin tone was perfect. It worked well in both my dry and oily areas. The grinder works well at milling to a fine powder and it is not as messy as loose. I prefer my own brushes, but the one provided is no bad. My allergy prone skin did not react to this. It is reasonably priced and is worth considering on your short list of powders.

I tried this in Mauve Movement which is a good color better than natural lip rose color that would work for anyone. This is a very affordable gloss. It goes on like a gloss, but looks and feels more like a tinted Chapstick. It is decently pigmented, lasts a while, but is still sheer. I am kind of neutral on this one. It looks nice, but very casual. I personally prefer something shinier and/or more pigmented or shimmery. It also has a slight soapy smell to me that I did not love.
