I love the texture of this lipstick! While I didn't notice any "plumping" (I don't think any lipstick really does that), the moisturizing properties of this lipstick were enough to hook me. It lasts pretty long, and comes in some really nice colors (Beige Shimmer is a favorite).

I've used this many, many times on major zits hoping, "This time it'll really make a differnece..." It never did. The stuff actually stung on application, and I never really woke up to see reduced redness or swelling. I have to add that this has to be used as an overnight treatment because the consistency is sticky, and no concealer or makeup could possibly be applied over it without chunking up (another drawback). Anyway, I've found Neutrogena's Acne Stress Control 3-In-1 Hydrating Treatment to be a much better spot product than this.

This conditioner left my hair soft and manageable, without being too heavy. I have fine, straight, highlighted hair with dry ends, and some conditioners can leave my hair flat. This didn't, and it sealed those dry ends nicely. I'll end up buying this again.

This concealer somehow isn't as good as JANE's No Show in a tube. It's a slightly thinner formula, which means the coverage is just a little more sheer. Still, it blends well and lasts relatively long, so it's a good option for someone who doesn't have major damage to cover. The wand applicator is more convenient for on-the-go touch-ups than the queeze tube, but you get less out of the container before running out this way.

I like this concealer, mainly because the "Fair" shade matches my skin perfectly (that's hard to do). It goes on thicker than a number of cream concealers I've tried, too, so it's good for severe blemishes. It works just as well for under-eye darkness, and blends well. It doesn't wear off easily (even on my semi-oily skin), so it lasts all day. This is an excellent buy for the price.

These lipsticks are fine for the price. I wouldn't say that they're particularly long lasting, but you're probably not going to get superior staying power for a dollar unless you choose a really dark shade (which I didn't). When it comes to the color, what you see is exactly the what you get - they're not sheer at all (which I like, but some may not). This lipstick is pretty drying on it's own, and the shade selection can be a bit unnatural for how rich the color is, so I suggest layering them with a colored gloss. The "Mousse" shade, layered with a lighter gloss works really well for me.

This lipstick feels so nicely moisturizing, in a completely non-greasy way. The color is light and I've found many, many of the shades to be really flattering. It doesn't last that long on, but I use this more for moisture, anyway. I have to add that I haven't noticed the chemical/floral smell noted by some reviewers at ALL, and I have this in 7 shades. Perhaps they've changed it?

This lipstick comes in an extremely limited number of shades, claiming that they'll flatter most skin tones. I'm fair, and I usually like neutral shades, but their only neutral options were coffee and bronze - too dark. I opted for Ideal Pink, the lightest shade available. It was still too "blue" (actually, all of the 6 remaining shades had blue undertones), and despite the fact that it's sheer, I thought it just didn't look right on me. It wore off really easily, anyway, because the formula's so thin. It was moisturizing, but I'd say that's it's only bonus.

This powder truly does stay matte. Not ALL day, of course, but I've never found any powder that I didn't have to reapply. This keeps shine at bay longer than most, and it doesn't get too cakey upon reapplication. It would be nice if this came in a mirrored compact, though (hence my 7-star rating). The packaging is impractical for a "purse powder", and more suited to something you'd keep at home.

This moisturizer never seemed to fully absorb into my skin. It stayed greasy, making it unacceptable for use under makeup. I tried using it at night (not wanting to waste the $18 I'd spent on it), but it didn't even sink in to spots that were so dry they were starting to peel. After awhile, the dryness that this stuff wasn't treating became red and itchy, and the greasiness was too uncomfortable to deal with.
