This is a good quality loose powder. I like the soft brush--it is just the right stiffness. The screw on top keeps the mess down on the pwwder as well. It looks natural and has a translucent glow just like other high quality powders. It finishes well, but does have a slight white chalky cast. Considering all of the hype, t is not as finely milled or silky as some other powders near its price point but is good quality and would consider buying again. I did not find it hydrating, though. I have dry combo skin--it kept the shine down all day, but I did desparately needed moisturizer in areas. I also like the fact that it does not irritate my skin at all.

This product is way to expensive for a basic silicone product. For the same effect, you can get a much better product that also moisturizes with antioxidants for about the same price. This primer smooths pores and lines temporarily and does not contain fragrance which is great. I bought the small tube at Sephora to try this product and love the tube. It is great for traveling and putting in your purse to use for flyaway hair (but is is still way too expensive compaired to similar silicone based hair serums).

I wish I could review the fragrances separately because I am familiar with two and love one (Citron de Vigne) and hate the other (Cannabis Santal). Both last all day, but still this eau de parfum is way overpriced. Cannabis Santal smells stinky strong of Patchouli-Yuck! Citron de Vigne, however is gorgeous. It is a very light crisp clean soapy scent reminiscent of the air after the rain with a hint of citrus--kind of bitter orange/grapefruity--maybe Absolut Citron. I like Citron de Vigne so much I am considering biting the bullet and buying it.

Opi is the gold standard for nail polish. The colors and finishes are endless. The consistentcy is perfect. The polish applies nicely--no streaks, globs, or brush marks, they color beatifully, the polish lasts. Opi can work to omit some of the more toxic chemicals in the polish.

I am way to uncoordinated to use a curling brush with one hand and dryer with another, especially in back. This is really easy to style and dry with and makes my morning routine much quicker--usually don't need the curling iron. It is also great for adding body and volume. I spray root lifter on and lift and curl my hair just at the root with the brush. The heat sets it. I have fine hair so I am not sure how this would work with course, thick, curly, or wavy hair.

I always buy Conair curling irons because they are well designed, last a very long time, are inexpensive, and easy to use. I like this one because, it heats up quickly to any temperature I need and I love the automatic shutoff option so I don't have to wonder and worry all day whether I shut my curling iron off.

This sunscreen is absolutely outstanding. It is inexpensive and superior to most other sunscreens including very high priced ones. This product has effective broad range sun protection and antioxidants which is scientifically proven to increase its effectiveness. It has mutiple spf value does not cause acne or irritation on super sensitive, allergy prone skin (mine) and works wonderfully on children. This product does contain a very minimal amount of fragrance at the very end of the ingredient list which has a barely detectable creamsicle smell. This product also is great for because you do not smell like you have been at the beach when you wear it daily (like to work). Because of the nature of effective ingredients to make it good for sensitive skin, it has a slight white cast which is not detectable on my skin, but may be on darker skin tones.

This is a great moisturizer and subtle self tanner. It moisturizes very well without irritating or causing acne. It also builds a gradual natural, healthy looking subtle tan or glow, if you will. It is fool-proof. This is the only self tanning product I am succesful with. It does have that strange, sweet tanning product smell that I hate, but it is light enough to be tolerable.

Too greasy, does not absorb easily, and has ingredients that irritate my skin. It does smell nice. Not too strong, Kind of lemony chamomile minty. If your skin is not easily irritated, this is fine to slather on at night with gloves.

This is a nice basic scrub. I love the fragrances. Sometimes botanicals irritate my skin. These have not been problematic as yet. Great scents! Decent price.
