I was hoping this new Garnier conditioner would be more moisturizing than the others from this line. It is a little better, but not much. The consistency isn't as thick as it should be. It does a decent conditioning job, but there are others I like better.

This is a great mattifying product at a reasonable price. I use it on my chin area, which is the oilest part of my face. It immediately soaks in, eliminates the shine and even offers a little bit of coverage. It isn't drying on the skin and it has a light texture, so it can be reapplied during the day without looking cakey. The only downfall is that I wish it kept the shine away for a little longer than it does, but I haven't tried a product yet that gives long-term mattifying "action".

Maybelline New York Define-a-Lash Lengthening Washable Mascara
I can't believe it won an Allure Editor's Choice Award
This is one of the worst mascara's I've ever tried. The brush is too flexible...it's hard to get it back into the tube without it bending in any direction. Aside from the brush, this mascara clumps terribly and it seems like the color doesn't get on all my lashes without a few attempts, which causes even worse clumping. I am stunned that the Allure editors like this mascara...yuck.

These cloths work up a rich lather and gently clean your skin. There's no strong fragrance, the lather rinses clean and your skin feels soft & smooth afterward. My skin is normal vs. sensitive, but I prefer this formula over the one for normal skin because my skin feels softer afterward.

This powder is great for oilier skin. It covers up shine and tones down the shimmery effect from using the BE foundation. I wish the oil absorbing factor lasted longer, but most powders don't. I wish there were some darker color options - I have already have light skin and when I apply this, it looks even lighter.

PROS: love the broad-spectrum SPF, soaks in quickly without looking shiny afterward, contains anti-oxidants. CONS: smells like sunscreen - the smell stays with you throughout the day, it's not great under make-up if your skin is at all oily. The smell is the biggest turn-off for me. It's fine for an all-over body sunscreen, but not as a daily face moisturizer, unless you like smelling like sunscreen.

What a find!! This product is great for my combo-oily skin. It blends well, has a good SPF, and a non-greasy texture. It's great under my pressed-powder foundation. My skin doesn't show signs of oily shininess as quickly as it does with other tinted moisturizers. The low price makes it even better!

PROS: A little product goes a long way, consistency isn't too runny, blends well. CONS: coverage could be better for skin with discolorations and/or redness, doesn't wear as long as the product claims, color choices are "strange" - hard to find the right match, which is frustrating for a foundation that has semi-expensive price tag. I think Revlon ColorStay foundation is better - better coverage, longer lasting and far less expensive!

Other than having a decent SPF, I really don't like this foundation. Coverage is minimal to none, it's very runny and after a few hours my face looks like I've put nothing on it. It feels greasy on my skin and it takes a lot of powder to make it "set". I've even tried using it without a moisturizer underneath to see if the coverage would be better, but no luck. I know I didn't get a "defective" bottle of it because I've tried it twice. Skip this foundation and go for a good tinted moisturizer - most of them cover way better than this foundation does. In fact, L'oreal's True Match pressed powder covers better than this!

I love the coverage this powder gives you. I have a very reddish chin and the area is also oily, so no matter how well I cover it during my morning make-up routine, the red starts showing through after a few hours. So, I this powder throughout the day to re-cover the redness. It does a really good job and I don't know of any other pressed powder that offers that kind of coverage without looking cakey. The price is a little high for a drugstore brand, otherwise I'd give it a "10".
