I have tried many lip glosses, but this one really stands out. I love its texture, it is so smooth and silky and glides on like a charm. None of that gooey, goopy feeling, your-lips-are-stuck-together feeling! And it is very pleasant and subtle fragrance. My favorite shade is Praline, it's a very natural pink with slight shimmer (not too much). I initially got it in a free gift, and absolutely loved it! Good stuff.

Great texture makes this product glide on, unscented, makes consecutive foundation and concealer application so much smoother! Camouflages lines, gives face somewhat of a "soft focus" appearance by making imperfections less noticeable because it "fills in" the lines and pores. SPF is a plus, but if I am not mistaken, it only provides UVB protection, and not UVA, which means you still have to wear a UVA product either under or over this primer. Not sure what Dermaxyl is, but if it provides some additional benefits on top of what this product already does, all the better!

Got a free (but generous) sample of this mascara with another purchase. This was my introduction to Clinique mascaras--I don't use Clinique products on the regular basis. Found some positives and negatives . Pluses: 1. love how the comb deposits the color at the very root of your lashes--it is almost as if you are wearing a black eyeliner without having to actually apply one. 2. Lashes get thick and long fast and stay that way all day. 3. It is easy to remove and washes off clean. Minuses: 1. Clumping is pretty bad, especially at the beginning. It gets better as you are using up more of the product. 2. The brush/comb design is a little tricky to use at the beginning -- I routinely got mascara all over my lids and had to clean up with a wet Q-wtip afterwards. Once you get used to having two tools on the same end of the wand, the mess becomes avoidable.

I am currently obsessed with green eyeshadows, so I recently bought one of the VS single shadows in Lights Out, which looks deep shimmery green in the package. When I applied it on my lids though, I could not believe my eyes -- it was sort of muddy black, not even slightly green. I was starting to feel really disappointed because I was really looking forward to wearing this shade, but I am happy to report that when I wetted a skinny eyeliner brush and used the shadow as an eyeliner, I got a beautiful emerald green effect. I wish it looked green either way, but I will take the eyeliner (plus, it's more subtle and work-appropriate than the full-on green shadow). Overall, the shadow texture is nice and application is easy.

I had a sample of this product which lasted me for two days. This foundation blends really well and becomes completely invisible on skin, yet somehow it provides nice coverage -- I hardly needed concealer on the usual areas (around nose, chin). Does not make face shiny or greasy. Works well with or without primer. What I especially liked about this product is that it contains a quality sunscreen, with both UVA and UVB protection, and it's fragrance free. Veil was a perfect shade for my light/medium skin tone. At $35, the price is a tad high, but not prohibitive--I would consider buying this product next time I am on the market for a foundation.

I had this product in Neutral to Tan 40 shade and used up the entire bottle. It's a very good tinted moisturizer that provides sheer coverage and pretty much disappears on skin. It is unscented, has a great texture and no shimmer (which is a plus in my book). This particular shade was slightly whitish on my light/medium skin, probably due to the presence of sunscreen, so it made me look a little pale, so I had to use some bronzer on top. I would definitely repurchase it, but maybe in a slightly darker shade.

Great product! I buy it in Medium-Deep shade. It's light and easy to apply, and the tan looks natural and you can build the intensity to pretty dark by applying several days in a row. The fragrance is pleasant, unlike many other self-tanning products I've tried. I prefer this product to the lotion self-tanner by L'Oreal because the "gelee" version does not have much shimmer which can look unnatural during winter. The price is reasonable (it's something like $8.99) and if you get it at ULTA, you can always get it for less by using one of their wonderful coupons! :)

I got a sample of this product in one of VS sample bag promotions, and did not like it one bit! It had a yucky, coppery odor which I found very unpleasant, especially when the product is right on your face, near your nose and you end up smelling it all day. It is fairly darkly tinted and has quite a bit of shimmer. Its texture was only so-so and applied unevenly and patchy. It got stuck and accumulated in the hair on my temples. Because it made my light/medium skin so much darker, I had to also put it on my neck and chest, so there would not be a drastic contrast. It has no SPF.

I tried a sample of this product in Radiant. The texture was very silky and smooth, coverage was sheer with a noticeable mattifying effect, kind of like a primer and tinted moisturizer in one. It does not contain any SPF, so you have to apply it over a sunscreen. I really want a full-size container of this product, but at $57.50......ouch!!! There are excellent tinted moisturizers and sheer foundations out there for half the price. Maybe someone will give it to me as a gift! :)
