I decided to try this after reading the editor's review, and I really like it. And I usually follow a strict "fragrance-free" policy with most products. The scent is heavy at first, but after application it mellows to a very pleasant, soft, natural vanilla scent. It absorbs quickly and is not too greasy. I like to use a little on my heels, elbows and knees before applying self-tanner. I got mine on sale for less than $4, so it's a bargain!

I really wanted to like this stuff, but it just didn't work for me. I have very sensitive skin that is also partially oily and this product made me break out and itch. It took a week for my skin to clear up. I was very disappointed, but thankfully I bought it using a coupon and it was not too much of a waste as far as money goes. If you are prone to breakouts, I would not purchase this product.

L'Oreal Paris Sublime Glow Moisturizing MicroFine Mist + Natural Skin Tone Enhancer
Works well for light-med skintones
I just tried this product and the facial moisturizer during a "buy one get on free" sale, and so far, so good! I've applied it twice, and now have a nice golden color with practically no streaks. It smells fainty of "self-tanner," but not obnoxiously so like the first generation of self-tanners, and it does dry quickly after application. I did learn that you really need to keep the spray at arm's length as the directons state, otherwise you can get a few uneven spots like I did on my upper arms and ankles. Also, stick with the medium shade unless you are extremely fair- the fair shade in the face version did not show up on my skin. The manufacturer's website has some good tips for applying it, such as applying to backs of hands with a cosmetic sponge.

I just started using this product, and it works well for the price. I am very sensitive to fragrance and have sensitive/combination skin, so there are few choices at this price range.

A loyal Bobbi Brown user, I am now on a tight budget and decided to look for a cheaper lipstick. I tried this lipstick during a "buy one get one free" promotion at Ulta, and I was pleasantly suprised at how long it lasted. The shade selection has nice neutrals and pinks that are not too blueish, and that is hard to find in a cheaper lipstick. I only had to re-apply once during the day. It is a little drying, so I use gloss or chapstick over it. I would compare it in consistency to using a lipliner, but with a broader application. It does have a slightly sweet scent to it, but that goes away after application. Good stuff and I'll definitely buy it again.

This is one of the few exfoliating treatments that my sensitive/oily skin can tolerate, and it is the best exfoliating treatment I've ever used. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and balanced, with no redness or irritation.

This is the best lip color I've ever used, and it is well worth the price. If I was stranded on a deserted island, and I could only have one cosmetic item with me, this would be it! The formula has a nice shimmery finish without overdoing it, and it feels wonderfully creamy and light- no waxiness or greasiness. And the color lasts for several hours without touch ups or liner.

I love this foundation and it is great for weekends and general everday wear. I was very skeptical because I've always found that powders accentuate wrinkles and make my skin itch, but this one really does make my skin look even-toned and luminous. My only issues with it are that it can be messy in application, requires costly brushes/tools to use properly, and it doesn't last all day, especially in humid weather.

This cleanser is a tough one to beat- and it rivals even the Dermalogica cleansers I have used in the past. I have skin that is very sensitive, but also oily in some places and it's been a challenge to find an inexpensive cleanser that doesn't irritate or have some kind of fragrance. This leaves my skin feeling clean and comfortable. I use it all the time except for the most hot and humid summer days when it can be a bit oily.

I was very disapointed with this product. I have sensitive/combination skin and it's hard to find cleansers that not only work, but are reasonably priced. It was very drying and made my skin red and itchy. If you have extremely sensitive skin, I would not recommend it. The good thing is that it is inexpensive, so it wasn't too much of a loss!
