Here are all my reviews:

Some of the shades were all right, others were wearable, and some were just not flattering at all especially the metallics, they were near frosty. I remember swiping the color on the back of my hand and it would break off easily so sometimes a piece of lipstick would be stuck to my lip or to the brush depending however I applied it. I agree with one of the reviewers here that it is drying, indeed. I thought the formula could have been creamier and smoother as far as application goes and it didn't keep my lips moisturized which made it a product I ended up disliking. The fancy tubing deceieves, I say - at least for this product.

I need aerosol for the main reason of control. I feel that if I'm styling my own hair that pressing a small button lightly and dispersing a fine mist of product is easier than having a difficult time trying to press the plastic bottles over and over to get it where I need it to be. I didn't experience any super stiffness or flakiness from this hair spray which immediately got me to like it but what go me to love it is adding volume to my hair like mousse or thickening gels without making it feel like a mountain of product on my scalp. There is so much product for the price and scent is great - light and almost powdery. At the end of the day, my hair was still bouncy and full of life and the best part was not feeling that grip of hardened glue on my hair. This sets any style without affecting the shape or condition of the hair which is a must for a styling product.

I remember the first time I got a whiff of the scent from the tube and loved it. It smelled like no other balm I've tried and it does moisturize quite well especially during that winter particularly when my lips are prone to cracking and even bleeding, this seals in moisture and keeps my lips feeling soft and looking more even. The balm itself doesn't glide as easily as some others do but it may have something to do with wax ingredients. This is also great on the go when you feel like your tint is fading from any lipstick or gloss, I believe that slathering this on top keeps it on longer. This is definitely one of my favorite balms!

Bath & Body Works White Barn Candle Co. Wallflowers Continuous Home Fragrance Starter Kit
Long Lasting Air Freshener
I need to run out and get a refill because I love this. The very first place the mister and I got, I decided to put this in our bedroom. And it was a good thing I did because it kept our room smelling fresh and clean. I'd advise though not to choose a scent that is overpowering unless you don't mind certain linen or clothes ending up absorbing the scent as well because these last so long and become a regular feature easily since it comes in delightful scents but I also noticed that because I had this near the bed, the sheets began to smell of the aroma it released, not that I really mind at all.

These come in various styles, shapes and sizes but they all contain the same useful tools inside for keeping well groomed. I do wish though that they had a more sturdy and effective nail file included. The one that comes with set bends and breaks plus it rots easier than other better nail files I've used. This set even comes with two nail clippers which is great, perfect for hygienic purposes so you aren't using the same clippers for your fingers with the ones you use for your feet! They come in sturdy beautiful cases so you don't have to worry about keeping each tool separately and losing them, each band slot perfectly holds its own tool and keep it there until you're ready to use it.

Don't let the size fool you, a little bit goes a long way! I first saw this lipgloss when I was shopping with the mister and thought the shades were absolutely so pretty. I tested it on and I liked how it had a pearly sheen but not frosty. These last me quite a while; they're neither sticky or greasy either so it's a great tinted lipgloss. You can substitute lipstick with this if you want a sheer wash of color because they are very pigmented. It's also the perfect size to tuck in your pocket or any other small place to keep these dainty cute tulip shaped things!

No more dishwashing soaps for me. I dreaded using any Palmolive, Ivory, or any other dish soap that dried out my hands and left it feeling rough and dry. This is perfect with blends of emollients and the effectiveness of a regular soap without any waxy or filmy residue, this certainly belongs on the kitchen counter and in the bathroom. The wash leaves a pleasant scent on your hands so whatever you've touched the left you smelling like a mound of pooh is no longer obvious, haha. This is just a great thing to have around, period.

I wish my skin wasn't too prone to irritation or it might be that this product is way too strongly mixed with perfume? Either way, I love that these comes in scents that I truly would love smelling in the bathtub while I'm indulging in alone time and pampering myself. But stepping out of the bathtub wasn't an awesome experience as I rinsed myself of all product, I found my skin breaking out in rashes in different places on my body. Splotches of red seemed to be whack a mole as one pops up and I have to rub it a bit for it to go way somehow. I experienced this within the next few hours after usage and figured I might as well not use this if it causes me this much irritation. Love the idea, hate the reaction.

Depending on your skin type, this may or may not be the ideal moisturizer. In my case, it definitely wasn't. It may have something to do with the sunscreen in it considering that some sunscreen ingredients can make formulations either greasy, pore clogging, or sticky, This absorbed fine but it was somewhat heavy feeling and moisturizer should never be so. Especially on warmer days when I applied this, I felt it was too much for me and I needed something lighter, much lighter. After probably four weeks of using this product, I didn't see any significant results and I needed to move forward. I liked Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel compared to this as it was lighter and fully absorbed and it ranges at a similar price. I also found the dispenser inconvenient for me on this product or it could just be my luck that I happen to purchase the bottle that sometimes gets stuck and I'd have to pull it back up but I found that sometimes product would lead into the crevices of the pump and therefore causing the mishaps. Most likely, this will be on my dump list, I'm afraid to say but it's my personal opinion and just for referrence I have sensitive skin so that also may be a circumstance this product wasn't too compromising with my skin.

The signature is pretty. The tube is cute. The lipgloss shades are spectacular. The formula is a bit heavy though but it isn't sticky, it's more nourishing than unwanted so I actually like this more than a lot of private label glosses that fall under my par but this is certainly long lasting and the colors plump my lips with a pearly sheen that's soft so it doesn't resemble that retro frosty look but a glaze of glam over my pout. I don't find these much around Bath and Body Works shops anymore but I'd certainly love to collect a few more. The last one I had was last year and it emptied out on me and after searching for another, my luck ran out. What is so adorable is that these come in smaller sizes in a flower mimicking shaped tube, so cute and petite ready to be toted everywhere.
