I have normal to fine hair and this conditioner does not weigh it down. I use only at ends. It does it's job, but I don't find it super moisturizing/hydrating or anything like that. I don't feel it is doing anything special; just doing the very basics of keeping me from getting split ends. I hardly blow dry my hair so this conditioner I think is more for people who usually towel dry so there's not a lot of damage already.

This shampoo is usually on sale at cvs/drugstore for 99cents. It does it's job: gets your hair clean. There's no filmy residue and lathers well. It also lasts forever. A huge amount comes in this bottle. If you have normal hair and not looking for anything special, this is the shampoo for you.

I find the brush and bristles on this mascara too big. It coats my lashes in a gloopy (is that a word?) way. It distributes too much too quickly. I have medium length lashes. This mascara lengthens them, but the lashes have a tendency to stick together when I use this mascara.

I have to start with the caveat that I usually use antibacterial dial soap, which is pretty harsh. The Dove soap bar does not dry out my skin, and in a pinch, I have also used it on my face without any breakout problems. I have acne-prone skin, and it seems like everything causes pimples to pop up on my face, so the fact that this Dove Bar didn't is pretty big. It also lasts a really long time, though I have found that it can disinegrate pretty fast if you leave it in a puddle of water as I am apt to do because I don't empty the water from the soap dish.

I was skeptical of wipes in general because I believed they could never be as good as washing your face with cleanser and water. These wipes proved me wrong! They even take off my dark eye makeup, including mascara! It takes a little bit more wipes and digging in the eye makeup area than the rest of my face, but when I looked in the mirror, there was no sign of any makeup residue. They are gentle too, not irritating at all. Wipes are so much more expensive (usually) than a face wash, but I would definitely recommend these for people who travel and for people like me who get really lazy at night and just want to go to sleep without going through all the nighttime steps of cleanser, eye makeup remover, toner, etc.

I have combination skin and it's hydrating enough that I skip the moisturizer and just use the primer sometimes. It's a bit too liquidy for my taste. I have been spoiled by smashbox primer. Also, I do not like that it doesn't provide any spf protection. It's pretty expensive too. I use mineral loose powder and this primer works OK - it doesn't really do its job of allowing the makeup to glide on at the portions of my face where I have big pores (nose area). If you like this texture (watery/liquidy) primer, I would say use the MAC Prep + Prime. It works better and provides spf protection. This primer has good packaging though. The tube is easy to store since it has a flat bottom and won't roll around and easy to use (just squeeze!)

I am Asian-American with fair skin and Nars blush in O*gasm (funny, but the website won't let me write out the O word even though that's the name of the product) works really well with my skin tone. For work, I dust one brush stroke on each cheek, putting the color on the brush before each stroke. For going out, I'll pile on as much as three. It's great because you can control the intesity. I use this in combo with Nars bronzer in Laguna. The combo works well together. The bronzer is light/subtle so I wear it even for work/office.

I use this as my day moisturizer sometimes and I like how it sinks into your skin fast so you don't have to wait around to put your makeup on. It's a bit on the light side for anyone with dry skin.

I have problem pores (i.e., LARGE)and I need a primer/moisturizer that is good at smoothing pores. This is not it. I wouldn't say it does nothing, but its definitely not something that will create a smooth surface for you to put your makeup over.

I used to go through these blemish sticks really fast. I don't think you're supposed to use it that often, but it would feel really good, like when you put toner on your skin, so any time I would even feel a pimple coming on, I would rub the stick on it. It's not as strong as those products with chemicals, but it's the best "natural" one.
