I'm a die-hard tinted moisturizer type. I have decent skin, so what I usually want is to even tone and cancel a little bit of redness. I've been seeing BB creams everywhere and I'm kind of like, "9 things? Puh-leese." But eventually my curiosity got the better of me so I bought one. I picked this one. And MY LIFE IS CHANGED FOREVER. Seriously, it offers more coverage than my tinted moisturizer, and at the same time it feels like I'm wearing nothing at all. Is that even possible?! It is like wearing a primer in that all your pores and stuff kind of disappear and smooth out. As for the other nine things... I don't really know. But I can tell you this: BB creams are real, and if you're looking for an inexpensive gateway drug like I was, this stuff is is just the ticket.

Are the benefits of this roller ball purely psychological? MAYBE. But after applying it in the morning for weeks and weeks, I started to notice that my under-eye circles got a little bit less... under-eye-y. It definitely feels lovely going on, the roller ball is nice and cold and smooth, which makes it a serious alternative to the "cold bags of chamomile tea" advice that I inexplicably keep running across. As to what on earth is in this stuff, I cannot even begin to imagine. There are plants on the package. Is it plants? Does the coldness just make me feel good and perk up my under-eye circles for a few minutes? Perhaps. But I'd definitely say I liked this product.

I love this stuff. If the price goes up, I will pay anything for it. I'm convinced that it's the only thing in the world that will make my face pretty. This is because it falls into none of the classic pitfalls. It's not greasy, not thick, it absorbs quickly, it has SPF 30 in it, it doesn't smell like anything at all, you can easily apply makeup right after applying it, and it makes my face kind of perk up and glow in a really nice way, even if I was up all night playing quarters in a dive bar. I have very dry, very sensitive skin, so maybe that's why this product is so important to me. LOVE.

Is this discontinued? I bought it pretty recently. Probably not a lot of people use toner. I myself use toner instead of washing my face at night. I have very sensitive skin, and washing it inevitably causes problems. Drugstore toner works well because it clears dirt and makeup at the end of the day, without you know, hurting my face. This is a decent toner, very gentle. What I like best is that it's pink, and the cap kind of makes me feel like it's not as cheap as it is, so I can have all the luxury of an expensive product without all the, you know, expensiveness.

I have a love/hate relationship with dry shampoo. I always feel like I've tried everything in the >$7 range... and there's always something... the smell, the texture, the way I can't get the white powder out of my very dark hair. But I need it, and I can't spend a lot on it. Enter Suave Keratin Infusion. I tried the Suave not-keratin infusion in the past and HATED it. Bad, bad. But I thought I'd try this one since it ran me, oh, $4. Or something. And it's great! Yes, the smell is chemically. I agree with that. But I don't use a ton of it and it gives my hair great lift and body. The spray is fine, so even though I have almost-black hair I NEVER see residue. I'm even comfortable spraying it on clean hair to rough it up a bit. All in all, this is my favorite "cheap" dry shampoo. Great staple.

I love this mask. I have occasionally dry skin, very sensitive. Nothing else does it for me like this mask does. Every time I use it, I spend the entire next day feeling pretty, because my skin is so totally moisturized.

This literally always works for me: I buy one of these for 99 cents. Then I put on a ton of it at night before I go to sleep. Like, a ton. Like... a ton. By the time I wake up, whatever lip troubles I was having are cut by at least half. It's the best magic trick.

Soooooo expensive for the pot if you ask me. I got it as a gift, however, and darn if I'm not completely in love with it. The scent is to-die-for. It's the silkiest lotion ever, just glides right on. It's not really great for dryness... not a body butter or anything... but it's so light and smooth that a little bit sinks right in and feels great. If you want to treat yourself to something totally frivolous, this stuff is absolutely amazing.

I have very straight hair. Even though this product is recommended for curly types, my hair is very dry and this is the perfect leave-in conditioner. A very little bit makes my hair look and feel naturally silky and shiny.

I'm not sure if this would be the eyeliner for everyone but it's absolutely ideal for me for three reasons. One: Raisin Quartz actually looks great on my green eyes. Two: I have very sensitive skin and have had terrible problems with eye makeup. Never any problems with Almay. Three: Consistency. It is a softer, more gel-like pencil. I don't wear a ton of eye makeup because of my glasses, and this pencil is just the boost I'm looking for and easy to apply.
