I don't really agree that this stuff can be "good" for your face. Yes, the natural ingredients are nice, but the particles are jut too harsh and jagged. They can hurt, and worse, tear skin. I used this for quite a while because it DOES exfoliate very well, but why take the risk with such a damaging product? There are many more gentler scrubs that are just as effective, IMO, or chemical exfoliants you can use.

When I owned a toner, this was the one I used, and it went fast. I would consider buying again, too. It has some good ingredients for "refining" pores, like the alpha/beta hydroxy and salicylic acids, and it cleaned and soothed skin well. I'm not sure what difference it made on my pores, but it didn't have any negative effects on my skin - it wasn't overly drying (combo skin) . I liked that it didn't have a strong burning sensation like some other toners, either.

I'm a very fair-skinned girl, so finding my perfect match has been a real struggle. I bought this foundation on a whim a few weeks ago in the lightest shade available, and - surprise! A perfect match! Not too yellow, red, etc., just neutral and just right. The foundation's liquid consistency helps it blend like a dream, and layering is so easy. This is also perfect for sheer coverage, but can be built up to look very natural while still covering well. Basically, I LOVE it! It's my favorite foundation ever, and I can't wait to try the concealers and blushes from this line as well.

I love how this remover leaves no residue - the oil-free really is nice. I can wear my contacts while using it, and not worry about irritation. It can tingle a little if you use too much or apply it too roughly, but other than that, it does a great job with a few swipes. The only thing I ever have a hard time removing is dark eyeliner. I recommend using cotton rounds instead of cotton balls.

I love the idea of heat protection for an anti-frizz serum, but the strength just wasn't enough for my coarse, damaged hair to keep frizz away. I've religiously used this product for months, and when letting my hair air-dry especially, there is little to no improvement. It does add a bit of shine to my hair and has the thermal protection, but I find it completely ineffective against my frizz. Still a nice product, if they could come out with a stronger version with the protection. Maybe I'll try the regular extra strength formula.

This is probably one of my favorite moisturizers. To be honest, I don't believe this product is made anymore (without the "subtle self-tanners," anyway), which is kind of a shame. It's a very nice light moisturizer with an SPF 15, and tiny, gold light-reflecting particles to "brighten." They are very unnoticeable, though, making for a natural look - no one would walk up to you and say you had glitter on your face or anything. My one problem with the moisturizer was that it always left my skin feeling a little sticky, but after applying makeup, it usually goes away. Love the pump applicator, since you can never get "too" much with it. Finally, I used to even mix this with my liquid foundation, and it gave it just a little more glow. :) Very nice product, but again, it might be discontinued.

I just bought this lip glaze, and am already enjoying it a lot. It's a great idea - like a lip balm, but glossy and soothing. The flavors are totally yummy (I got fresh mixed berry), and some colors come with a slight tint or sheen. There are eight total. The price is decent, and the only thing I don't care for is the sharp, flat rubber tip applicator. It makes sure you don't get too much product, though, which is nice. It looks and feels good on lips, and even has a light taste - a very nice product.

I really like the idea of this facial wand for hair removal - it's very easy to apply, the strips are gentle, and the finishing oil that's included soothes skin well. The only problem I found is when the wax builds up around the applicator tip - then it can become hard to use and very sticky, so make sure to keep it clean. Overall, a good value and a nice product. I liked the lavender scent as well.

Very sticky indeed... this is not a thin formula in the least. The color range is gorgeous, and I really love the sparkle these glosses have, but it feels thick and hair gets stuck in it easily, so watch out. Not recommended for a windy day. The flattering shades are lovely, though.

This lip plumper causes the most tingle (almost a little painful - do not use on sensitive or chapped lips!!) of all the ones I've tried. It's also quite sticky and doesn't have a good taste at all. However, I find that it does add a lot of flush to my lips, and temporarily smoothes them out so they look fuller and healthier, as advertised - probably all the irritation. I would be a little worried about using this for long periods of time, but it certainly seems to do something. I would consider trying the gentle lip plumper, though.
