This powder does not irritate my super sensitive skin, it is very fine and silky in texture, and impressively keeps the shine away all day in my slightly oily t-zone without reapplying much. The color matched my light/med. skin tone (there are no dark options--yet). This is not my favorite, though. I felt it was too matte (Clinique powders give more of a glow) and really settled in and emphasized my pores and wrinkles. Also, be careful. Even though this has spf 15, most women probably do not use enough powder for addequate coverage and should supplement this with sunscreen.

Girls, don't try this at home! I bought this foolishly after seeing a commercial where the girls appeared to be smiling and casually be removing hair. I made the second mistake by trying this for the first time on my bikini area. I followed the instructions, exactly and cleaned the area, applied the stiff sticky goo, applied the cotton strips for the recommended amount of time, and quickly pulled the cotton strip only to let out blood curdling scream! It ripped out patches of hair, and missed some patches, and left some of my hair follicles with droplets of blood. After a few weeks, I decided to try a less sensitive area--my lower legs, Same result. I also do not believe the companies claim that the pain eventually goes away and so does the hair permanently. I regularly tweeze my same eye brow hairs and they keep coming back the same thickness. My only concern besides the pain, is that this is damaging my skin and its potential to cause infection. My hubby found the ordeal very amusing, though. Anyway, my advice is to get a professional wax job, use Nair, or a good old fashioned razor. This product is pure evil.

The best thing about this product is that it is cheap. I also like the fact that it is spf 15, fragrance and color free. Otherwise, I don't find it to be a value because it makes my face red and itchy. It is sticky when first applied and is not very moisturizing.

This is a decent moisturizer, but it is very heavily perfumed. It is inexpensive though. I could take it or leave it.

I felt it was too matte (Clinique powders give more of a glow) and really settled in and emphasized my pores and wrinkles. I use a brush to apply my powder most of the time, but was disappointed that it did not come with a sponge or anything. I like pressed powder only because it is convenient to pop in my purse and use on the go (but not without a sponge). You can by the sponge separately and maybe that is in the long run better being more environmentally friendly and maybe you are more apt to replace it when it gets yucky. I will use and might buy it because it is on sale, but it is definitely on the top of my list.

I got Golden Sunrise free with Lash Blast Mascara (which I love). I have to say it was worth the price. The eye shadow color is pretty and flattering, highly pigmented, and did not irritate my eyelids. The texture was very grainy, it has a high shimmer finish and is only suitable for the 20 & under crowd because it really amplifies the smallest wrinkle. The applicator is also a very rough sponge. It also wore off in places at the end of the day. I was not impressed.

This product really does make you skin feel like velvet after applying it. It does not irritate my sensitive dry combo skin or cause breakouts. It makes my skin matte, softer, and smoother looking under makeup.

I don't understand why anyone would buy this. It is extremely overpriced olive oil. If you really believe that an olive oil distributed for cosmetic use is really honestly more pure than olive oils sold for human consumption and actually regulated by the food and drug administration, I have a bridge I can sell you....You can buy an equivalent, probably better quality organic olive oil for much less money and, bonus, you can cook with it too. Talk about multi-use.

I much prefer liquid to bar soaps because I find bars drying and messy. This is my favorite bar soap, although it is pricey. It lathers and thoroughly cleanses, does not irritate my very sensitive skin, rinses thoroughly, and it is either fragrance free or has a very slight clean smell.

This is too expensive for ordinary bar soap. This soap does not irritate very sensitive skin and comes with the cute dish, but I find it too drying or I get acne breakouts depending which I use. I prefer a liquid soap for those reasons and because liquid is less messy.
