Now that summer has arrived my moisturizer with SPF 15 just won't cut it. This sunscreen costs a bit more than I would usually pay for aproduct ($!9) but it really works!. It has no scent and doesn't make my skin chalky. It's easy to spread but doesn't leave my skin greasy. My only advice (other than to buy it!) is to make sure you have a good makeup remover. It does such a great job staying put that you need more than water and cleanser to get it off. So far I haven't had any irritation so I think Clinique has more than lived up to their reputation.

I've been using this product a few weeks. It says you can use it for wet or dry shave. But I strongly caution you not to shave dry. The lotion is great for your skin, it makes it very soft, but it DESTROYS your razor. It gets all gummed up so it won't slide cleanly across your skin. And because the razor is coated in this gunk you don't get a close shave. I'm going back to my shave gel.

I'm not a regular Avon/Mark customer but I may be a convert. I ordered gloss gorgeous in Bella ( a bright berry pink) but I wasn't sure what to expect. It claims to be both a stain and a gloss but I was skeptical. But surprisingly they were right! It goes on glossy. There's no stickiness it's very smooth. The color is very bright, almost too bright for me. But if you're looking a bright summer shade it's just perfect. After a few hours the glossiness did wear off but the pinky flush remained. I took off two stars because of the applicator. It's a brush head that you click to release product. The brush is soft and easy to work with but I'm not a fan of those 'click pen' tubes. All in all I would definitely repurchase, maybe in another shade.

I bought the full color polish as a light weight alternative to lipstick and I was very impressed. There seem to be two varieties of this line. I have one tube in Lolita (deep rose) that has a sponge tip applicator. And in Sophia (rosy nude) that has a brush applicator. The polish in the sponge tip tube is much smoother and glossier. The one in the brush tip tube was very sticky and I almost brought it back. But a light layer of lip balm underneath and now it's just as smooth and glossy as the other. It is a gloss so it doesn't last forever. But it wears off evenly and it isn't tacky or drying. It's expensive but a little bit goes a long way. It has the feel of lip gloss and the look of lipstick. I wear make up rarely so this should last me a long while, but I'll probably repurchase when I use it up.

It's like a brand new me! I stopped straightening my hair a few years ago and let it go curly. But now that I've found this I have options. I"m not sure if it really shortened my drying time. But I did require less effort to make it straight. It also seriously diminished my frizz. Though I'd need to test it in summer to really claim it's perfect. I might even be able to cut my short now. It's a little expensive, but if I can recreate this it might be worth it.

My lips get so dry I can't leave the house without something on them. But every other lip balm stick is so waxy. An hour later I'm peeling it off my lips. But not this stuff. When you put it on it feels slick and glossy then it absorbs and your lips feel smooth and soft. If you hate the waxy then crackled feel of chapstick then this is what you're looking for. Love it!

I stopped using this a few years ago, but I definitely regretted it. I've picked it up again and remember why I loved it. My cuticles crack, rip and bleed in winter. But not with this stuff. It softens my cuticles and keeps my nails from peeling. I like the lemon smell but even better the lemon oil fades stains on your nails. I makes the white tips so bright you won't need a french manicure. My only complaint is the design of the tin. It's very hard to break the suction between the top and the tin. Don't close it too tight or you'll break a nail getting it open.

I previously used the Fresh Curls Boost spray gel which was nice but did leave my hair a bit crunchy. I decided to give this a shot and I'm very impressed. It really amps up my wavy/curly hair without that crunchy feeling. My hair also seems less frizzy but that could be a change in humidity. I do miss the subtle scent from the spray gel it doesn't seem to be present with the mousse. In all my only complaint is that the can of mousse is a little small for the price. You get 2 more ounces of the spray for the same cost.

I bought this after my SPF moisturizer was discontinued. I use it everyday on my face and I have no complaints. My skin feels incredibly soft and smooth. I wear moisturizer under it, but my skin feels smoother after the sunscreen than after the moisturizer. It never looks greasy, though it does add a bit of shine. I don't really wear makeup so I can't assess how it would work under foundation. But I've been wearing it all summer long with no burns, breakouts, or bad skin days.

Olay Complete All Day Moisturizer with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 15 - Normal
NEW FORMULA DISASTER
They discontinued the old formulas and replaced it with something horrid. It burns, it smells of cheap sunscreen, it leaves you greasy and blotchy. I previously used the combination/oily version. It contained some kind of oil absorbing powder which they've eliminated from the formula. It gets terrible reviews, even on the OLAY website. People have reported burning rashes and itchy bumps. It makes your eyes water. The old formula was my favorite skin care item of all time. I thought something was wrong with my skin and my eyes, but now I know it's just another case of corporate stupidity. If you loved this product once and hate the changes made call the number on the olay website to complain. They announced they're bringing back the original sensitive skin formula after numerous complains. Maybe there's a shot to save the other originals too.
