I see there are some complaints about this tinted moisturizer and I'm pretty surprised! I started using this product back in Jr. High and, despite trying others, I'm sticking with it. True, the coverage is alot more sheer than some, but isn't that what foundation is for?? I find this product gives me a radiant glow that is never followed by breakouts or skin irritation. Its perfect for my somewhat extreme combination skin, moist enough for the dry and dry enough for the moist. I recently included this in a beauty goody bag to a girlfriend and she LOVES it too! Also, what an awesome price.

Ok, I use this product on a regular basis and I like it but, I agree that it smells and its VERY pricey. Let me tell you exactly what it smells like; old cigarettes, chocolate, coffee, and cocoa butter. I'm not a fan of the combo but I apply this to the ends of my hair along with other products before blow drying and when I'm done I can't smell it at all. I also use this throughout the week to smooth my ends if they are looking a bit dry. I've only used it as a mask a few times and I didn't have any impressive results, but maybe I didn't use enough. My recommendation for this is, buy it somewhere you can return it if you don't like it and then buy it on ebay.

What a relief! I though I was stuck with my oil-slick T-zone unless I had a fortune to spend on one of the high-end mattifying primers!! I am very happy that I tried this product. It gives me a very noticeable reduction of oil without interfering with my makeup. It could probably use a reapplication later on in the day, but I never bother.

This self tanner is a great product. I love the color it produces, its gradual enough to hide any mistakes and look like a natural tan but still has enough color to be noticed. The bronzer in it is an awesome feature because you look tan immediately. I didn't find that it dries very fast but once it does, its not sticky or overly dry. My one caution is that you be sure to not get any moisture on the area for the next few hours because it washes off very easily. The smell is slightly funky but not distinctly self-tanner and it is certainly bearable.

I use this product every day, EVERY DAY!! Usually I just use a my tinted moisturizer, dot concealer where I need it and brush this over my T-zone to absorb oil and ta-da!! My skin looks absolutely luminous and flawless. Yes, it sounds cheesy but I swear my skin looks like and angel's. I tend to have fairly clear skin with a fair amount of oil in my T-zone which I blot about once through the course of an 8-hr work day. I always recommend using a tinted moisturizer every morning, but for those of you that have a more uneven skin tone feel free to apply this over you usual foundation or, better yet, try L'Oreal's Bare Naturale Foundations.

I am the type of girl that loves to try new products and I rarely stick with a particular product. However, I am a die-hard fan of this whole Bare Naturale makeup line from L'Oreal. This foundation provides absolutley fabulous coverage but still looks like you aren't wearing makeup. You can apply it heavier for more coverage or lightly to even your skin tone simply by the amount of powder you have on the brush. Take into account that a little of this stuff goes a long, long way so start light and apply more if needed. I think my absolute favorite thing about this product is that because its made from minerals, it has never made my sensitive skin break out. Ever. I never use foundation because liquid and compact foundations just look weird and makes me break out. I know its a little pricey for being a drug-store prodcut but it is so worth it. One of these containers last for a very long time. I also recommend applying their Bare Naturale Soft Focus Mineral Finish as a setting powder to absorb any oil. Also, it does make a difference when you skin is regularly exfoliated and moisturized. This will help the product to be applied more evenly.

I love this mascara!!! Black, full, sexy. Its just such a great product. With its large rubber-bristled wand, you get perfectly defined, unclumped lashes in two coats. What more could you want? A low price maybe? Well it has that too. The only, I repeat, ONLY downside I found is that it seems to run out or dry out faster in the tube so I have bought it more frequently. Still, I'm giving it a 10 because its great.

I'm surprised at all the complaints people have with this mascara. I do admit that the first time I tried it I wasn't terrible thrilled, but I was about 16 and didn't know what I was doing. Its not my absolute favorite mascara (and yes I have tried ALOT!), but I know I can always come back to it when I'm unsatisfied with other mascaras. I find that when applied with a gentle hand and in multiple coats applied while the previous coat is still slightly WET (not dry) that you get really awesome lash definition. I have never had problems with clumps or eye irritation. Another cheap but great mascara option is CoverGirl's new Lashblast mascara it gives me the sexiest, blackest, fullest lashes ever!

I like this product because it has the bronzer in it so when you apply, you can see exactly where its going so you never have streaks or missed areas. Also, the bronzer lets you have instant color for those times that you don't have hours or even days to wait for color to develope. The foam makes it very easy to apply because you can just smooth it over your skin and you don't need to rub it in. The things I don't like about this product; it does really smell bad, it is not moisturizing, and you do not want to splash water on it the day you applied because it will wash the bronzer off that spot and make you look diseased.

This scrub is great because its both inexpensive and very effective. I use it once or twice a week to keep my skin glowing and flake-free. I apply it after cleansing while in the shower and let it sit until I'm almost done, then I re-wet with my fingertips and scrub again before rinsing. The only thing that may not to appeal to some is that it is a rough scrub that is not incredibly comfortable.
