I got a mini of this and was excited to try it. The color I got was rikugien, which is a medium, very pretty, natural looking dusty rose. It is very moistuzing, feels nice on the lips, goes on semi opaque, comes in a large range of nice colors. I like the size of the stick. It is between a lip liner and a crayon. It has no scent or flavor to cause irrration or interfere with your palette. On the down side, it is quite expensive, is not retractable-requires sharpening, wears off quickly, and bleeds which would keep me from buying a bolder color (unless you are The Joker). I don't hate it, just expected a lot more for the price.

I was excited to get a sample size in Cruella which is a very pigmented rich modern looking matte deep crimson red. It is my first Nars product ever! I like the size. It is in between a lip pencil and chubby stick/lip crayon so you get the precision of a liner with a reasonable lipstick coverage to fill in the entire lip. It is a bit drying like most matte lip products, but not horrible. It lasts reasonably well without bleeding unless you eat or drink something, I'm which case you definitely want to reapply immediately, especially with the bolder colors. It is expensive. It has to be sharpened--I much prefer the retractables. I loved the color, finish, and applicator size.

These are inexpensive and high quality. They last, do not slide out, yet do not pull out hair when you remove them. Can't have enough of these.

I love this eye cream. It is rich and creamy, moisturizing. It feels good. It contains many ingredients that benefit the skin. It did not irritate my very sensitive, allergy prone skin. It works well under makeup. It is a bit expensive, especially considering that the packaging allows air in, causing all of those great antioxidants to quickly degrade, not to mention jars are very unsanitary. This would be a great eye cream. Clinique should know better.

This is the first Smashbox product I've tried. I have been into lip products with spf lately and thought I would try this. I tried it in "Endless" which was super glossy, very pretty, and slightly deeper than my natural lip color. All of the colors are excellent. It did not stay 6 hours, however it did have a really long hangtime for a gloss--I was more than satisfied. It has slightly thick texture, but is does not migrate into wrinkles around lips or creep and is not sticky at all. The wand applicator works well and the tube does not leak. The only things keeping this from being a perfect "10" is that it is expensive and I could take or leave the vanilla flavor/smell. With the effective sunscreen in the product, the colors, finish, longevity, and quality, I would definitely buy this again. I highly recommend trying it out. I keep buying more of these, my "go to" gloss.

This foundation did not irritate my super sensitive, allergy prone skin. The colors are all very yellow toned. It felt silky, blended beautifully, matched my skin tone, but is light coverage. It does not build to hide flaws or even skin tone and highlighted pores in the drier areas of my face. It provides sun protection and is reasonably priced. It imparts a nice glow. It is a good foundation for young ladies with great skin, just not if you are looking for coverage.

I am a regular Dove deodorant user. The new version has a much more mousturizing, soothing formula that goes on smoother and more invisible. That said, I feel the previous version kept me much drier. This new one has a silicone feel to it. Also the fragrances smell a bit different. Cool moisture smells maybe more powdery and Nourished Beauty smells more fruity. I like the scents and less residue on clothes, but I prefer the old formula for dryness. It is not a deal breaker and my skin looks brighter and feels better. It is inexpensive and great on my allergy prone skin that is easily irritated.

First off be sure to use this product at night or with sunscreen as grapefruit peel extract can cause a photo toxic reaction, potentially causing skin discoloration. Other than that, this is a good product with a lot of ingredients that are good for your skin. It is not really "smart"" but is a good feeling, effective serum for all skin types. It works well under makeup, as with most serums this can replace your primer. It imparts a very soft glow. It is not too expensive. It did not cause any irritation to my very sensitive, allergy prone skin. Pretty good product.

Clinique Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector
It works--reduces puffiness, camouflages dark circles
You can't really get rid of dark circles, but this is a great product to conceal them. I have light-light medium skin and it did not completely cover my dark circles, but certainly improved the way they look. If you don't have very dark circles, you may be able to get away with just using this product. It is tinted, feels good, works well under makep, did not irritate my skin at all, did not settle in or accentuate wrinkles, brightens, smooths, and it has a very smooth cooling metal applicator that feels great and reduces puffiness a bit. I really liked this product a lot although it is a bit on the pricey side.

This is an inexpensive, good quality non-Aerosol hairspray. It holds my baby fine, straight, medium length hair without making it stringy, crunchy, or sticky. The deal breaker for me is the spray nozzle. Even if I run the nozzle under hot water and wipe it down, it does not spray in a fine mist, but a stream that soaks parts of my hair whole missing the rest. Until the nozzle issue is fixed I cannot recommend this otherwise very good product.
