This shampoo rates pretty average. It did not weigh down my fine, straight hair. It has a very foamy lather that cleans rinses well. It is very inexpensive. It is strongly fragranced--the scent reminded me of a leading baby shampoo. I did not really notice any difference in my hair after using this.

I got a sample of this in #1 for pink toned complexions. I did not expect to be impressed and thought this product was all hype, but was mistaken. This product really brightened the the dark circles under my eyes! The color was great. It blended well, did not irritate and worked well as a highlighter on my cheeks and brow bones. It lasted all day and my eyeliner and mascara did not smear into it. I really like it, however the price is absolutely obscene. It is a great produc--if you can afford it and really want to try it out, go for it. If not there are still good contenders out there.

There is really nothing really special about this lotion. It has the same texture as most other lotions, is not greasy, and absorbs quickly. I did not care for the fragrance--it was not horrible, but not citrusy light I expected. It was very sweet and artificial smelling. The fragrance disappated by midday. It was adequately hydrating, but I do not buy the 24 hour thing.

First of all, since the product is exposed to air, so any antioxidant benefit contained would be compromised. It is expensive. It is fragrance free, long lasting, matched my comlexion, and is not irriating to the most sensitive skin. I wanted to like this, but it just did not apply well for me. I tried a brush, a sponge, a poof, and rubbing it between my hands and patting it on. It just applies really cakey on me and did not camoflage my pores and wrinkles as much as other products and actually highlighted the tiny hairs on my face.

This product is fragrance free and the consitency of toothpaste with sandy grit in it. The paste itself did not irritate my skin, however I found the the texture too abrasive and would be afraid it would damage my skin with regular use. It left my face soft and smooth feeling, I did not notice any visible difference in my skin after use. It did not break my face out. There are better masks out there that are more gentle and make much more of a visible difference than this one.

These are great lashes--the look very sexy and glamorous, yet natural and believable at the same time. These are the lashes I wish I was born with. They are very inexpensive so they are great for novices and frequent use. This is the first time I tried false eyelashes ( I did it because the price was right--nothing to lose) and was pleasantly surprised with my success. I watched a video on how to apply false eye lashes on the MAC website (great tips) which was excellent along with directions on the package which were also good. Since I had never done this before, it took some time to get these just right. My husband told me I looked nice after I applied these. I told him I tried new makeup and asked him if he could tell what was different--he couldn't so I guess they look real enough. They held my mascara well. You are supposed to be able to reuse them.

There are a lot of things I like about this bronzer. It is a fine, silky, matte powder that has good pigmentation, lasting power, is blendable, buildable, and the finish is kind on wrinkles, large pores, blemishes, etc. without looking too flat. On the other hand, this product is on the expensive side and the color is natural and believable, but slightly too orange. I like it and will use up my sample, but this would not be my first choice for purchase.

This is an excellent, high quality blush, though expensive. It does not irritate my super sensitive skin. It it a very silky, fine matte powder. It is natural looking, pigmented, very blendable, and buildable. I have tried samples in the "pink kiss" and "true sand". Pink Kiss is a believable pink blush and True Sand is great for contouring (have light-medium skin tone). The matte finish will also help keep even less than perfect, even mature skin looking its best. It comes in nice colors. This blush is not necessarily my personal first choice in blush, but definitely a contender and consideration. If you are so inclined, it is worth buying.

This conditioner is unique because it is fragrance free (do not know of any other conditioner that is not highly fragranced) and an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin. I have baby fine hair. It leaves it shiny, soft, and does not weigh it down at all. It does not cause acne around the hairline. It lightly conditions to keep your hair healthy looking, but does not detangle. It may not work for you if you have very dry or damaged hair, very curly, course hair, and are looking for deep conditioning.

I really wish this one worked for me. It is a really good primer. It has a pleasant, but strong citrusy scent and a nice creamy silicone texture to it--perfect consistency. It smooths the skin and maybe plumps it slightly to give it a really nice finish--great to apply foundation and powder products over. The downside is that it really, really irritates my skin so I cannot use it. That may be a good thing for me because I generally do not use a makeup primer, but otherwise might consider this one and it is pretty expensive. If you have sensitive skin, this is probably not for you. If you do not have sensitive skin, use up a decent sized sample and see how it works for you before you commit to buying it.
