This can be used to fix your hair, period. Bad hair day due to split ends or no shine, fixed. Bad hair day due to frizz or bends in the hair shaft, solved. I have used this for many years and never fail to replace it when it has reached the end.

This gloss is very complementary to any skin tone, and its lack of stickiness combined with its ultra-shine are what I would think most people are looking for in a gloss. It also has a nice flavor (although you probably shouldn't be devouring it). Definitely a gloss for a nice night out, or a summer afternoon with the tops off of the car!

I usually love thick, thick, thick lashes. But unless I apply a few different coats and usually two types of mascara, then I don't feel like I have done enough. The eyes are so important to frame, I feel, that they deserve as much or more concentration of makeup than anywhere else on the face. This mascara is not too thickening, but it does give you gorgeous, fan-like lashes. It really does grab every single little lash and lengthen it to the longest it can possibly be. I was afraid of the applicator, but this strange applicator was what was needed to have this effect. Whether I use it alone, or with another mascara, this really makes hidden lashes come alive with darkness and length. I did watch the video available online to apply it, which may have led to my success with it, so if you get it and don't like the results, do watch the video online at givenchy and you won't be disappointed.

This seemed at first reading to be a great mascara, promising "feathery" lashes. These lashes were anything but feathery. The point of mascara, I have always thought, is to enlarge and define lashes, whether by thickening, lengthening, or, at best, both. This delivers nothing. If it is possible to have short, clumpy (but not full) lashes come into vogue, then this is the mascara to get. Until then, this isn't really the best idea.

As someone who continually buys new products in order to have great skin, this is the scrub that I come back to again and again. It has been improved and now has an even better scent. When this runs out in my shower, it is a sad day.

This is a good moisturizer, but nothing special. I have bought it about three times, and do love the texture and feel of it. It does sink in, but the problem is, it is similar to other ones for less. I would definity buy it all of the time if it were half the price, but there are some really good moisturizers out there right now for this price and I would rather use those which have results.

This is the worst of two worlds. It is a heavy product that does not sink in. It just sits on top of your skin and looks very greasy and doesn't feel moisturizing at all. It has a sickly-sweet smell, and literally does make your skin feel like it has been covered in honey, not sinking in and just with an awful texture. I do not advise anyone to get this. I adore Korres but have no idea what they were thinking for this one. Get the Rose or Yoghurt moisturizer if you want some real moisture from Korres.

I have this in Jing A Ling, very pretty color, love how it looks when I put it on.....but after the moisture seeps in, the rest just slides away, and it is like you have not even put anything on. I would adore this if it stayed on longer than 5 minutes. If you put it on before you touch up the last of your makeup to go out, then it will be faded by the time you are ready. It's too bad, because it is so pretty.

I was very excited to receive this in the mail the week these came out (yes, it was a while ago). I was so disappointed. Got the vanilla bean scented one, and it was overpowering in a bad way. The moisture wasn't impressive either. Do not waste your money.

I have dry skin which reacts poorly to almost any cleanser I have used. I love this cleanser because it is much like an in-shower moisturizer for your face. When you emerge from your shower and pat down your face, your skin feels soft as, well, the softest it could be! It really isn't that good at removing eye makeup that is stubborn, such as waterproof mascaras. But it is, even with this, the best cleanser available to modern (wo)man!
