The scents these come in are uncountable so it isn't hard not to choose one. You get a good amount for your money but it hardly lasts past an hour or two then I find that the aroma fades away and reapplication is needed. So instead of spritzing this on myself, I use it to spritz my room or sheets as a refresher because the odor will be very light and won't be so suffocating. I also like misting this on cotton articles of clothing as they absorb the scent longer and linger gently instead of having the heavier eau de toilette aroma, this one is suitable for everyday multi-tasking days. The cool thing about this is that it also comes in a travel size spray bottle so you aren't dragging the bigger one around.

Perhaps because I'm still quite young in my twenties, I didn't expect to see firming possibilities in this. But what it did do for me was smoothed my skin out and made it soft and supple. I even liked the scent it had which was light and refreshing. I'm selective with lotions so this one was one of the better on my list because it wasn't sticky nor was it heavy; it fully absorbed and kept it moisturized for quite a while. The price tag also keeps consumers returning since it's inexpensive and dependable, at least for me and a certain group of friends that recommended this to me

This was devastating to use. I remember the days especially around that time of month which is when shining seems all I do (not in the starlette way) and even my makeup would look very done because of it. I needed a solution. Fast. So what did I do? I went out to the nearest store that had skincare products which was a Wal-Mart and grabbed this because it allegedly controls the shine problem. The buzzer rings incorrect for this one as it not only did it fail to moisturize because my cheeks were left dry a few days after using this but my face was still producing oil and making itself apparent the same way as before with or without makeup. So then I decided, leave it be and forget using this at all. I even found rough patches along my jawline during usage.

Glycerin bars have been highly recommended to me as a young teenager years ago by dermatologists and yet I was skeptical they did me good as rarely have I found any bath bars have. This one was different but before I say the good, I've start with the bad by saying this didn't clear my acne. But I'll tell you that it lessened the redness and moisturized my skin better than an ordinary soap which can also either have alkaline or leave filmy residue on skin, either one is bad regardless. Also, it is great for sensitive skin that find even cream cleansers too much for their skin and not effectively getting rid of makeup, this will do the job. The one negative part about using bar soaps is that it can be contaminated with whatever bacteria was on your face or hands if you don't wash the bar itself after use. Other than that, you may like this as an alternative to whatever else is in the market bottled or boxed.

The word moisturizer makes you think of words like emulsifying, nurturing, hydrating, soothing, enriching, softening, invigorating, and so on and so forth. Ok well, let's not go there right now because this moisturizer had contradicted all of that. The first thing that came to mind was a sigh of relief perhaps from the typical super drying acne medications and even maybe refreshing. It wasn't much different and it still left my skin feeling parched and hadn't effected the look of my acne, it was still an ongoing cycle of a dismal reflection. I wanted more out of a specialized moisturizing, something that absolutely delivered it's promise and while you pump out a creamy amount of formula and the skin has fully absorbed it, hours later it's thirsty again. I'd have better luck with a typical moisturizer for sensitive skin to get rid of my acne compared to this. This is on my blacklist.

Oh how I remember this. High school puberty years, oh my. I remember this as one of my first attempts of getting rid of the hormonal acne I was developing and found that it was irritating. After washing my face, I found it a little tight which got even tighter by each use and dry. I also didn't like the smell too much as it reminded me of a pharmacy shelf and to be able to withstand that for a couple weeks, I wanted results. And results, I saw none. After probably finishing two thirds of this, I tossed it into the bathroom disposal and never paid attention to it since then.

I've been astonished by the product and the primary reason is because it is a salycilic acid product that did not cause my skin to redden nor flake or even dry! I applied this to my cheeks because I was using a cosmetic product that wasn't too friendly with my skin and within two days I noticed that the clarity of my skin had improved and while not completely, of course any product would need time, it did show that it was working. I was very hesitant to purchase another acne clearing product when virtually everything I've used in the past had failed and sometimes would even worsen my condition so I needed the dermatologist to prescribed me Differin which was my saving grace. This was a great alternative and probably because they've added different ingredients to this compared to most other salycilic acid products on the market. Hooray for Clean and Clear, that's another product I like!! I did find myself knocking a couple stars off for fragrance content though because I know scent is a known irritant so if anything does fail on me, I'll know what the culprit was.

I couldn't count how many places I've spot this foundation has rubbed off on when my mother used it. I decided to use it myself and test it out and not only did it look unnaturally streaky but I hardly enjoyed the feeling that I was wearing a cosmetic legging over my legs and this was a disaster applying because the product can splatter everywhere if you aren't careful. My method was just spraying it on my hand and rubbing it into my leg until it was blended at its own personal best which gave my legs a slight orange finish and it virtually screamed that I was covered in make up. Yikes, don't give me this as a gift and even if it was a freebie, I'd reject the offer because it's more of an inconvenience.

A sensation you get from a lip gloss deceives you into thinking your lips are about to be similar to Angelina Jolie's pout. Sally Hansen can't do it nor can many lip products out there but this one particularly was ineffective and wasn't even long lasting. The colors shown in the tube can be disregarded as they are hardly even pigmented when applied and the formula has a pearl like mixture which I believe may be the reason why the product could be making your pout a little fuller but mine? Not even the least bit. It made it tingle and this smells pleasant unlike the other Sally Hansen gloss I had and this one wasn't as sticky but nor was it worth the purchase either. Perhaps Sally should just to stick to where she's better manufacturing which are her nail products.

I'd have to say this product falls below average and I'll elaborate why. First of all, the idea of a creating french manicures with a pen sounds so optimistic and ideal considering that it sounds easy and quick but let's dissect the product. The product is a pen containing a white fluid with a felt tip which the tip is pressed down to dispense product. First of all, the product isn't dispensed well because it may come out either over saturating the felt tip or hardly which causes application to be uneven and can be frustrating to rectify. The fluid itself is similar to a correction pen fluid for office/school use so the finish is more matte than most nail polishes but dries somewhat lumpy if it is applied unevely. The next part is that this product dries oddly as it can easily be dented or scathed which means reapplication by erasing all of the work and restarting again to attempt a flawless finish. It's hardly easy nor is it effective by means of creating a flawless manicure because of the apparatus itself and the dispensing system. I spent about seven dollars on this and it's sitting in my bathroom drawer until I can figure out a more improved method of application or somehow get it so that the product doesn't look so piled on or similar to finger paint finish.
