I like mineral foundation, and this does have a nice shine to it to give a glow. Fairly Light 1.2 is a nice color. However, the bismuth oxychloride in this product (that imparts the shine) makes my skin itch if I sweat a bit. The coverage is light to medium and they do have a good selection of shades. If you have acne, this will help clear up your skin. I like indie companies a bit better for mineral makeup like Aromaleigh, Meow Cosmetics, etc. You can buy samples and blend colors to get a perfect match. And, the price is lower.

This color is too warm for me. I like how it does add color back to the face, but it is pretty orange on my skin. I don't love this, but it is definitely worth a try. It is a bronish/orange color that after you apply your foundation, you apply a touch of this to your forehead, bridge of your nose and cheeks and a touch to the chin. It really does put some color back to the face, and I like the concept. The only thing I don't like is that the color leans orange on me.

The story is that this used to be the formula that Pricness Di used to use and that Lush bought the formula. This is a beautiful but expensive product. They use cold pressed essential oils, and this product smells like orange blossoms. It is a lovely scent, and it makes you feel good to use it. I think oily ladies would have a hard time with this product because it is oilier and even though my skin leans dry, it made me a little oilier and shiny in my t-zone. However, it does smell SO good that I am giving it high marks.

This is a nice moisturizer with sunscreen. It feels kind of thick but goes on light and soaks into the skin just fine. I don't mind the smell either. I got a small size of this and Gorgeous when they had a special where you get cleanser and toner tabs for $20. Gorgeous is a runnier consistency and goes on lighter than this, but they both soak in after 2 or 3 minutes. I would say that even oily people can wear this one because it did not make me shiny. What is off putting though is the thickness of this product.

This is a great cleanser for sensitive skin, but I knocked 2 stars off because it does leave a residue. It has calamine lotion and chamomile in it to calm the skin. I used to use it kind of like a mask. I would wet my face, lather up the bar and then apply to my face and leave it for 5 or 10 minutes and then rinse. My skin really cleared up. But, after awhile, the residue builds up on the skin and you look dull. Make sure you exfoliate or use a toner if you use this product.

I think this is my favorite body wash scent from Philosophy. I don't love the perfume though. What I like about this is that it is creamy but it lathers and the scent is really lovely in the shower. I can use it as shampoo, and it cleans my scalp and does not strip my color from my hair. It rinses nicely and doesn't leave any residue and there is a slight hint of fragrance left behind. Try this, but before you try the perfume, spritz some on at a local Sephora to see how it wears. I think the nicest thing that Philosophy makes are their shower gels that you can use as bubble bath and shampoo.

I am going to start off by saying that this scent is really strong, so one squirt will last all day and half the night. It is a floral gourmand scent to my nose. It is floral with a sweetness to it. However, this scent is very very expensive. I did try the roller ball, and the scent does not go on as strong and seemed to wear off within 3 or 4 hours. Then, I bought one of the Christmas kits from Nordstrom with the 1.7 oz of fragrance and the mini sizes of the body wash and lotion, and the spray does stay all day. I knocked a star off because the smell is so strong that when I first put it on, it is too much for me. It also smells up the office at work, and I am hoping nobody will complain. But once it dries down for 2 or 3 hours, I really like it.

This is a powder blush, but it does go on creamy. It provides a beautiful flush of color, and I can see why they are the most popular blushes. I really like the color deep throat because even though the blushes seem like they are mostly neutral and would work with any skin color, deep throat leans cool and provides a pink/berry tone. The color also lasts all day.

The price is really high for this blush. I have never worn cream blushes before, but my skin is sensitive and acne prone, and this does not break me out. It goes on smoothly and it provides a beautiful and natural flush of color. I have this in Honey Glow and it is kind of a warm pink color. I just bought a cream blush by Bloom, and the size of the blush was a little less than double, so you get a lot of product for the price. And, this product also contains the caviar extract and other good things that are in the caviar foundation. So, that is nice. The packaging is gorgeous, it come with a mirror. This is a nice product!

I bought this about a week and a half ago, and I love this. This is for normal/dry skin and not for oily ladies. I just need a small amount of this -- less than a dime size and it covers my entire face. Then, I use the concealer under my eyes. The color is natural and luminous without any glitter or shimmery stuff in it. It stays on well for most of the day, even if I lightly sweat. And, it seems to hold in moisture, which my dry/sensitive/acne-prone skin needs! Love this!
