This eye cream is quite disappointing. It did nothing for making the skin around my eyes feel hydrated. Hyaluronic acid is supposed to be one of the best ingredients for hydration, and usually is, but this product failed. The only thing it seemed to do was leave a greasy feeling behind. A greasiness that sat on my skin doing nothing. Definitely not a product to use before eye makeup application. Lightly powdering over this cream beforehand does nothing but clump powder. The consistency is okay but that's no matter when a product fails to perform. It felt like it was burning the outer corners of my eyes on top of it all. Not a product I would recommend.

Mario Badescu Skin Care Mario Badescu Seaweed Cleansing Soap
Somewhat good cleanser but does leave film
This cleanser is somewhat good in that it doesn't strip skin but it does leave a "film" on your face. While this may be fine for drier skin, oily skin will not appreciate this. The seaweed component is soft and doesn't provide any type of exfoliation per se. It doesn't rinse off easily and can leave your face feeling not clean. Skin shouldn't be stripped to be clean but it also shouldn't feel like you need to wash it again.

I love this 2 in 1 product. The sugar side is so yummy smelling I just want to eat it (but I don't!) It is good for a quick exfoliation. The balm side seals lips with moisture and keeps them soft and smooth. It portable and can be stashed in your purse for lip care on the go. It's not rich enough for overnight use but for daytime it's perfect. When applied lightly it can be worn under lipstick for extra moisture. The cute flip up mirror is a plus for this product and application of other lip products.

I was very disappointed with this makeup. I tried it thinking of the good possibilities. I thought wrong. The texture is very runny and thin. The nozzle works only part-time and is messy. No matter how it is applied (sponge, fingertips) it is smeary, blotchy and does not blend well. This will not work with a foundation brush due to the consistency. The color is not true the color on the package. It comes across too dark or too ashy. There is no airbrush about this product. The thin texture gives poor, streaky coverage. Oily skin will not like this foundation as it has no oil control and will discolor). In humidity it will smear. This makeup is not long wearing even in normal conditions. Powder will not even "set" this makeup. Sally Hansen should stick to nail color, which they do well. This foundation is done poorly.

This gloss will give a nice even application, a true color, nice shine and overall good staying power. As far as 3D effect goes it didn't happen. Any appearance of fullness comes from the shimmery, slight metallic sheen. This isn't enough to make lips 3D full or any fuller than basic shimmer gloss will. The colors are intense and fun. I don't notice any unpleasant smell or taste with this gloss. If you want a good quality gloss this is a good product to purchase. Just don't expect any spectacular 3D fullness and you won't be let down.

Many people like this line of products but I can't say that I do. For one, it is mainly full of sodium lauryl sulfate (which is actually a cheap detergent/lathering agent) and strips skin of moisture. I can't use any products with this ingredient as it makes my legs itch and feel dry. Molton Brown's website doesn't list this as an ingredient (they only list the good "natural" ingredients). It may work for skin that isn't so sensitive but for skin that is easily irritated it may not. This product has a good scent. Sadly this doesn't make up for my skin itching from use of this.

This powder gives invisible coverage, sets makeup nicely and the puff applicator is a plus. I do wish you could wash the puff but it shouldn't make much difference if the product isn't shared. The downside is that it's a small container. I wish it came in a larger size. Other than that, it blends nicely and feels light. It will help oily skin stay matte but you may have to touch-up during the day. This powder doesn't cake or change color. I just wish there was more of it.

This is one of the better compact foundations I have used. While most cream-to-powder foundations are either too heavy, look chalky when dry or else make my skin look oily after a little bit, this one didn't. It blends well, covers nicely and you can control the amount of coverage you want. The brush applicator is handy but I found a smaller brush head foundation brush works better. The brush included in the compact is great for blending under the jawline to avoid the horrible mask look. The color stays true when skin oils surface. Oily skin may need to use a light dusting of powder or touch up during the day. This product is easily portable for touch-ups.

I like this product. It does help makeup go the distance and doesn't leave skin feeling greasy or sticky. It doesn't cause powder touch-ups to cake. It won't work any miracles in high humidity but then again nothing will do that. I have normal/oily skin and didn't get any excess oiliness from it or dryness. My skin is not sensitive, therefore I didn't have any reactions to it. Sensitive skin may want to use with caution at first. A little goes a long way. Well worth buying.

This is a lip shine with a nice color that lasts well for a stick shine. It applies evenly, smoothly and color true. Wears well, doesn't smear or smudge and fades evenly. The added SPF is a nice plus. As far as any lip treatment goes, I didn't notice anything. It seems to be just a regular lip shine. It certainly cannot replace a lip balm or actual lip healing treatment. I'd purchase it again for the otherwise good quality.
