Love this stuff. I use it on my lips almost every morning. I put it on right after washing my face and by the time I'm done with my makeup it has softened the little flakes on my lips and I just rub them softly with a washcloth and they're left soft and moisturized. I use it whenever my lips feel super dry and even on the skin around my nose which gets red and chapped when I have a cold. It has a high level of petrolatum which is the main work-horse in this product. Love the smell, too.

My medicine cabinet staple. I use it to moisturize my lips, my cuticles, rough patches, and to take off stubborn makeup smudges. My tip is to take a q-tip, roll it in a little rosebud salve, rub it along makeup smudges or leftover mascara under your eyes after washing your face and then wipe with the clean side of the q-tip, et voila! Smudges are gone with no irritation.

Good. Not life changing, but good. It lengthens, it separates, it builds pretty intense dramatic volume (but gets clumpy if you layer too much) but it's not the best formula I've ever tried and there are much cheaper versions that do the job just as well. Give it a try to see what all the hype is about and check it off your list!

I love these brushes. They make me excited. Seriously. I have used Urban Decay synthetic brushes for years because they were the only brushes that worked as professionally as standard brushes but were cruelty-free. Then came EcoTools who make a wonderful, AFFORDABLE, synthetic alternative that also happens to be made from sustainable bamboo and recycled aluminum. And they work. WELL. This powder brush deposits just the right amount of pigment, blends beautifully, and is durable. It really does rival my Urban Decay powder brush which was three times as much. The other brushes in the EcoTools line (save for the blush brush) don't work quite as well, but this one remains a trusty part of my beauty tool arsenal.

I didn't have as bad an experience as any of the other reviewers, but this body wash just doesn't receive high marks from me. You have to use a TON to get any sort of creamy lather and the scents really are not that enticing. It keeps skin pretty soft but it really is nothing to rave about. The formula is runny and just not that great. I wouldn't purchase this again, but then again, I really do not like many of the Olay body products. I love their facial products, but their body line needs a revamp.

I'm not surprised this has the exact same score (when I reviewed it) as the Garnier Fructis moisture rescue lightweight lotion spf 15 because they are very, very similar. This is a good, basic, lightweight moisturizer that sinks right in, keeps skin hydrated (though not enough for colder weather) and soft, and is great under makeup. I've been using it for a couple years now and I have never had any problems with my skin while using it. A great value, but for those who need a little extra moisture or want more bang for your buck (i.e. antioxidants) I would look elsewhere.

This is just a good, basic moisturizer. It is very similar to the Cetaphil SPF 15 basic moisturizer that I have used extensively. It has a nicer smell, and apparently has grapeseed (an antioxidant) though I don't think it's in high enough levels to really make that much of a difference. It's great for my dry skin in the warmer months, but in the winter I need something a little heavier.

This blush is so natural and has the most believable, natural texture for a powder blush. I love the "cream" shade which is nothing like the name makes it sound; it is a beautiful sheer pink-y shade, exactly right for my skin. I love the refillable containers, too! Perfect.

I've used the tinted gloss. It says "no pain" but there is definite discomfort; your lips feel numb and puffy after you apply this but really do not look that much plumper. It gives a nice, sheer, shiny finish but wears off quickly and definitely is NOT worth the steep price tag. There also has not been enough research done on the science behind their products for me to believe that the collagen molecules are small enough to actually penetrate the dermis and have any sort of real effect. Skip this!

Really, really natural. Benefit hits the mark with this bronzer. It is the perfect shade and does not make you look like a cast member of Jersey Shore or a glittery, tan, disco ball. Your skin is left glowy and with warmth. It is buildable, too; you can use a little for everyday color (I do or I'd look like a corpse) or more when you have some color or want a more "tan" look. The only drawback is the awkward box size and the dinky, superfluous little brush it comes with. Use a big, fluffy brush and glow!
