If I do not use moisturizer under this product it makes my lids look scaly. It is reasonably priced, comes in great universal colors, adds longevity to shadow, and does not irritate sensitive skin. It does dry out fast. It is okay--but not something I would buy again.

Freeman, Beautiful Body Blueberry & Champagne Lathering Shower Scrub
light perfumy grapey blueberry scent
This soap is inexpensive, has a light perfumey grapey blueberry type of scent. It lathers and rinses well. It is average.

All About Eyes is fragrance free and non-irritating even for very sensitive eyes. This is a very light moisturizer that lightly hydrates the eye area and softens small wrinkles. Once it absorbs, it brightens the area around the eyes. I would give this a much higher rating, but I hate jar containers. They breed bacteria which is a no-no, especially in the eye area and it allows the beneficial ingredients you are paying for (especially at its price point) to degrade quickly. I just got a sample of this in a tube and might consider buying it on a regular basis if Clinique sold it that way--I do prefer All About Eyes Rich because it hydrates more, but buy neither because of the packaging.

This is really the best exfoliating lotion I have found for dry skin. This rich lotion absorbs quickly, and instantly softens and relieves extremely dry skin. It works especially well with continued use. I it also contains a large amount of antioxidants and anti-irritants. Normally AHA products irritate my skin a lot--this one does not. One warning on the bottle--as with all AHA products you should wear sunscreen when using this product. Although this is an excellent product, all of Paula's Choice products are fragrance free and some products (not all) have funny odors so buy a sample of this before committing to purchasing a bottle. It has a slight gluey odor which dissapates after drying, however there is a very slight smell left behind on your hands like you were eating spicy chips or something. Fragrances normally irritate my skin so I am glad that this is fragrance free and will gladly tolerate the very slight odor.

This is a great eye cream. It is rich, emolient, and creamy, but not greasy. It works well under makeup and adds moisture in the delicate eye area. It is fragrance free and does not irritate my sensitive skin. It is also slightly pigmented and does a great job of minimizing dark circles and brightening the eye area. I hate the jars. All of the beneficial ingredients you are paying for quicky lose potency. The jar is also like a petri dish for breeding bacteria which is especially bad around your eyes. I also hate that it gets under my long nails. Because of the jar I will only use it when it is given to me as a small sample that I can use up quickly. If it this product was available in a tube, I would rate it a "10" and use it exclusively.

I like this product. I have dry combo skin. It keeps the oil down in my t-zone area on oilier days or hectic days when I cannot shower as early in the day as I would like. It is a refreshing gel and so far has not irritated my sensitive skin although it has the potential since it is fragranced (light, fresh, clean smell).

This product is fragranced and too emolient for my dry combo skin. It softened my deep lines about as well as other lines, but causes acne in my t-zone area. It might be okay for drier skins that do not have skin sensitivities.

I love this gloss. It has sunscreen, It is very shiny and long lasting, albeit slightly gummy which is probably a side effect of its hang time. It also comes in gorgeous sheer but pigmented colors. I have light-medium skin. Bamboo Pink, Bonfire, Sunset, fireberry, and Stellar Plum are all great colors. Bonfire is a sheer bronzey russet that is perfect for summer. Whisper is almost clear and is great over lipstick.

This is a great basic lip gloss. It is shimmery, shiny, moisturizing, sheer, slick (not sticky), and has a decent lip life. There are a lot of pretty colors that look great on bare lips or over lipstick. It is also very affordable and would be a great option for a teen starting to experiement with makeup or anyone to try some new colors. I would have given it a "10" if it contained sunscreen or antioxidants, but still like it a lot.

I love Happy. Happy in Bloom is a nice floral. Happy to be is devine!!!! It is reasonabley priced. It lasts all day. It is citrusy, like Happy, more sheer and has a luscious crisp pear essence. My fave, especially in the summer!!!! It is also not as readily available as Happy so it is more special.
