I have to say I am very impressed with the results of the temptu air brush system. I received the actual air brusher with a foundation, two blushes, one bronzer, and one highlight. I have light skin with neutral undertones so I used the sand foundation. It really is a pretty color and matches my light skin. The device itself is easy to hold as well as load the airpod liquid. The device also looks really cool, I like seeing it on my vanity. Very modern. Watching the videos on how to use it, I realized that a little goes a long way. I easily spray my face and it felt extremely lovely on my skin. I have super sensitive skin so I was afraid I would be irritated. But I was not to my surprise!! It didn't feel like I really had make up on. After wearing it all day, I did not feel the same cake or pressure on my face. Normally, I can't stand foundation on my face for more than an hour. I could easily wear this the whole day. I also tried the blush and bronzer on my cheeks. It wasn't over bearing, it looked natural. I finished up with the nightlight which really sealed the deal. The highlight gives you such a glow! My skin seemed dull before, after the airbrush, radiant! While the price makes you hesitant to buy, I think if you're serious about applying your make up to flawless finish, this is the must have product. I would really think this would beat any dirty make up brush or your fingers for that matter. As you continue to use it, you get a technique on applying and it becomes even easier. I definitely recommend the Temptu airbrush system!

Wow. I have to say how amazed and pleasantly surprised I was when I received a sample + muslin cloth of this Liz Earle Cleanser. You actually use the creamy cleanser directly onto your dry face, and then rinse it off with the muslin cloth with hot water (finish with a splash of cold.) It leaves my skin feeling smooth, soft, and supple!! It has even given my skin a type of glow. I have very dry skin, and this has helped me so much that I do not have to pile on moisturizer anymore. The consiticy of the Liz Earle Cleanser it completely creamy, and very delicate texture. It glides across your skin. There is a very heavy smell of rosemary when you apply it, and it totally wakes you up in the morning. I really really like the smell, and it’s great because the smell doesn’t linger all day. It doesn’t interfere with any other smells, you just enjoy the smell as you wash your face. The item is very expensive for a face wash, but it is totally worth the money. The muslin cloth allows your skin to be exfoliated daily without scratching or irritating the skin. I feel like this is preventing any fine lines! Try this !!! !

I got this as a trial size, and it has lasted for weeks! A small amount goes over the whole face, and it feels thick and smooth at first. Then it absorbs completely into your skin before you sleep. When you wake up, your skin is very soft and bright. I really like this product, and I plan on actually buying some when this sample runs out! The sample is so big, it is lasting forever! It does not make my skin oily. I recommend trying this product out !

This bottle lasts forever, even if you get the smaller size. Using after washing your face, it gives a cooling effect. It is very soothing and smooth on your face. It removes any left over oil or make up missed during cleansing. And if I am really oily in the middle of the day I use it on my forehead and I am oil free! It smells really bad though, just light alcohol (like vodka, almost).. But that is because clinique adds no fragrances, so I much happier it smells like that then for them to add unnatural ingredients. Clinique really has your skin in mind when it makes products, and they never make you break out or anything. This really helps me control blackheads and acne without having to use any acne medication. Keeps my pores deep clean.

I was highly surprised when I saw that this Dove underarm stick was number four on the list of best deodorants. I have been using Dove deodorants since I was 13 and it has always been the same: I put on the deo - stick, twenty minutes later i can feel wetness under my arms. Dove's formula does smell nice, especially the cucumber. But I have always been highly disappointed with results. It does seem to stop too much smell from happening, but seems to actually create MORE sweat then if I had nothing on. Also, IT IS TERRIBLE ON CLOTHES! It sticks to sweaters and t shirts. Especially when you put them on over your head, you end up with white streak marks on your side. Dove also uses aluminum as their anti antiperspirant. Aluminum is a horrible agent which in recent studies, contribute to getting Alzheimer disease. I can not believe that every review has been over a 8. "Aluminum has been long known to be neurotoxic, with mounting evidence that chronic exposure is a factor in many neurological diseases, including dementia, autism, and Parkinson's disease. However, definitive scientific proof is difficult to establish due toth the lack of longitudinal studies, as well as pushback from industries that use aluminum in their products. Despite the shortage of conclusive studies, mounting scientific evidence really leaves little room for doubt. Case in point: a new case study from Keele University in the UK1 unequivocally shows high levels of aluminum in the brain of an individual exposed to aluminum at work, who later died from Alzheimer's disease. While aluminum exposure has been implicated in Alzheimer's and a number of other neurological diseases, this case claims to be "the first direct link" between Alzheimer's disease and elevated brain aluminum following occupational exposure. The Aluminum-Alzheimer's Link The 66 year-old Caucasian man developed an aggressive form of early onset Alzheimer's disease after eight years of occupational exposure to aluminum dust, which scientists conclude "suggests a prominent role for the olfactory system and lungs in the accumulation of aluminum in the brain." This is not the first time high aluminum levels have been found in the tissues of someone who died from Alzheimer's disease. For example, in 2004, high aluminum levels were found in the tissues of a British woman who died of early-onset Alzheimer's. This was 16 years after an industrial accident dumped 20 metric tons of aluminum sulphate into her local drinking water. And there are many studies showing elevated aluminum levels in living individuals displaying a wide range of neurological symptoms"

Dove body washes are always my go-to body wash for the shower. I use it with a large pouf, and spread a good amount of product all over it. The dove wash creates a HUGE amount of lather which makes me feel luxurious. I do have sensitive skin, but anything left on my skin after the shower is just softness. I do not feel any residuals or bad things on my skin. I find that I have to use less lotion when I use the Dove body washes. I don't really like the price though, when I buy it, it can be as expensive as 7$! I have to always go to walmart or costco to get a deal. I feel like dove is a drugstore brand and shouldn't be as highly priced for just a body wash. The bottle of wash is quite big though and lasts more than 2 weeks. However, I recommend trying Dove when you can get it for a nice price because it will leave your skin very soft! Dove has came out with many more kinds of this body wash, but they all include their moisture formula. I REALLY enjoy their shea butter and vanilla wash. It smells like chocolate and feels like butter! Great ! s ! s ! s ! 9 9 9

I am only 20 years old, so when asked to review this I was skeptical if it would work for me. This device seemed to me for renewing more mature skin, but I was wrong. The device itself is lightweight and easy to maneuver with the cord that is attached. This device is suctioning your face while a small head is vibrating during the suction and exfoliating your face. With my device came the white tester head, two green heads and two blue heads. The blue is sensitive and green is a little harsher. (White is tester-very delicate). I have used the product with the blue head a total of three times, and the white tester once. You always have to start with the white tester head to see if your skin is too sensitive for the device. During the white tester use of the device, I noticed smoother feeling skin. Then, I waited 6 days and used the device again, this time with the blue disk head. This made my skin a little more red after the application, so I was a little afraid. But after about 15 minutes, the redness went away and my skin was very smooth. The thrid application is when I saw more results, my skin is much more vibrant and even. I also think my pores are smaller, which is a huge concern of mine!!! I would like to say that I have been using the 3 step system that PMD reccomends along with the device. It is a cleanser (you always wash and dry your face before), toner, and moisturizer to use after. This three step can be used twice a day, and it is super gentle, the cleanser doesn't even foam. I feel like this PMD is a great device, and I do not think I will ever need to go to a doctor for aging skin concerns if I keep this regimen up. I really think it is improving my skin and I would recommend this. It is super important to follow the directions though!! You have to be careful because it can hurt your face if you don't! Skin is delicate, so using abrasive on it, you must be careful and wait the time before treatments as well. Great product, be safe!!

Clinique is a brand that I trust normally, almost all their products have done their intended job for me. And it really helps that clinique is for sensitive skins, because I can break out sometimes. Also, clinique eyeliner doesn't seem to give me an eye infection if I accidentally leave it on over night ( I try really hard not to! ) unlike other eyeliners. The texture is amazing, almost like a liquid going across your eyes. The applicator is smaller that the normal quickliner, which helps with cat eye. I agree that it is a little smudgy, but applying the correct amount will decrease the smudging. Also, trying primer for lids. But really not necessary! I personally found not too much smudge, and that is only if my eyes squint a lot (get dry- then tear up). It is pretty expensive at 16 dollars, but for me, I can't find an eyeliner which I like more. And the eyeliner really lasts for a long time! The last one I had, lasted for like 3 months I would say. Worth it, and a great product.

Soo expensive, but really works. I use this about once a week, very sparsely and I target my ends specifically. I use this as soon as I get out of the shower, right before bed. I don't try my hair, and go to bed on it wet. When I wake up, no split ends and my hair is very soft! I also use the Promend shampoo, conditioner and daily split end treament system as well. I believe this system is doing a great drop on controlling my split ends, and also preventing new ones from happening. However, no product can actually "fix" split ends, but with continued use you can fake the fresh cut look over and over again. Also, it has many vitamins to keep your hair nourished, which I believe is making my hair stronger. A really good product especially when used with the whole Promend line of products!!! But so expensive, nexxus should lower their prices!!!

Nexxus needs to learn to lower their prices! I can only afford this miracle product when it is on sale. This cream I put on right after the shower every night. (Once a week I use the Targeted Night Cream). When I wake up in the morning, no split ends! I also use the Promend Conditioner and Shampoo every other wash. I really find a big difference in the ammount of split ends I have. However, no product actually fixes the split ends for good, only an actually cut can do that. But with continued use, I find that you can continue to "fake" the fresh cut look. And with all the vitamins they put in it, it does nourish your hair and make it much stronger and manageable. This is a great product if you can afford it.. And used along with the whole promend system, the shampoo, conditioner, and weekly night treatment, you hair can look super soft and great!
