These lotions come in many scents and make it easy to layer your products to help your fragrance last longer. I usually have one of these lotions with me, and wear the matching body spray. The lotion moisturizes lightly, and isn't greasy. If I feel I need more moisture I reach for the body cream instead of this. Buy them on sale; they can be a little pricey!

This hand cream is very moisturizing, and is a convenient size that I can carry with me in my purse. BUT: I have the "sensual amber" scent, and it smells a little strange. The scent isn't exactly like my other sensual amber products. I bought it on clearance, so maybe it was a little old :( But I would consider buying again because it's a good hand cream.

I'm relatively new to using liquid eyeliner, so I'm not very good at applying it :) But this felt tip liner makes it much easier to get a straight, even line. The staying power of this liner is amazing too. It doesn't budge all day, and looks exactly the same at night as it did when I first applied it in the morning. That said, it is a little hard to remove. I use an eye makeup remover with oil and it still takes a couple minutes of gentle rubbing to get everything off. But overall, this is a very smart buy

This scrub really does away with flakes! It's quite grainy and sloughs off dry skin very well. The smell is heavenly too. I would have given it a higher score, except that it's a little expensive. Otherwise, a near perfect product!

I like the scents in this line, and I really notice it when I sweat a little more than usual. Instead of that nasty BO smell I smell cocoa butter or vanilla (lol). My only complaint is that it doesn't always keep me dry, especially in hot and humid weather. I sweat a lot though, so I usually don't expect any deodorant to keep me completely dry. Overall this product is a good buy.

I've used this cleanser on my makeup brushes for years and I like it. But recently I started using a new foundation, and for some reason it just would not come out of the brush when I used this (annoying!). So I switched to regular hair shampoo and that did the job beautifully. I will continue to use the BE cleanser, but when it runs out I'm gonna stick with a cheap hair shampoo-it's much more affordable and works just as well.

This is a very good basic cleansing shampoo. My hair is usually very clean, shiny and smells nice when I wash it with this stuff. In the winter I might stop using it because my hair is much drier in the winter and it might be too harsh. But for now I'm happy with it. Sometimes I also wash my makeup brushes with it and it actually cleans them better than my brush shampoo!

I didn't know how much I didn't like my old crease brush until I bought this one. It applies crease colors beautifully, and subtly blends them out, so I don't have to spend a lot of extra time blending with my 224 brush. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is the price, but I suppose you get what you pay for! :)

This concealer covers my dark circles well and lasts all day. It applies very smoothly and blends beautifully into my skin. Also, a very big plus: it doesn't settle into lines! That really surprised me since a lot of products I've tried always settle into lines throughout the day. For being a somewhat high end brand, the price isn't bad either. Tip: get a shade that has a yellow undertone. It helps to cancel out the blue tones under the eyes.

I actually might buy a 2nd bottle of this foundation! It applies smoothly, covers fairly well (not the best I've encountered but not bad), and wears all day with minimal touch-ups. The bottle says it gives a "radiant finish" so if you prefer your skin to look matte, just use setting powder over it. As far as I can tell, it hasn't broken me out or irritated my skin which is a plus. It doesn't dry my skin out either. Weird side note: since purchasing this, my foundation brush is much more difficult to clean, For some reason the makeup stays in the bristles very well and I usually need to use a somewhat harsh shampoo to get it all out. Not a big deal to me but might be for some!
