Okay, I'm going to be honest here. I was grateful to have received this to review, but severely disappointed with the performance of this product. So, even though I received this product, my opinion will not be biased in any way! The packaging is a cool idea. I will give it that. The only thing is, it doesn't save me that much time compared to my other lotion that uses a pump. It wasn't a HUGE time saver in that respect. Nonetheless, the spray is pretty quick. It comes out of the spray bottle like a thin mist, depending on how close you spray to your body, it'll be more or less product in one spot. The product definitely does live up to the claim that you can spray and dispense the product evenly onto your skin. I was able to hold it a few inches away from my arms and move it over slowly and get an even application. Unfortunately, though, the lotion comes out cold, which kinda hurts in the morning when you just get out of a hot shower and it's freezing outside! Rubbing it into my skin was super fast and easy, but this is also where the problem arises. The product does live up to its claim that it moisturizes and absorbs in seconds -- literally! I was able to put on my clothes right after application, just like the product claims. Not too long after I started rubbing the lotion into my skin, it was absorbed into my skin and felt like normal, and this is also where the problem arises for me. The product does live up to its claim that there is no greasiness, I suppose because it absorbs so quickly. Ok, so the problem with this, I find, is that because the formula of the lotion is thin, the moisture does not last on my skin. Personally, I have naturally dry skin AND it's winter, so using this lotion just wasn't enough for me. After two or three hours, my elbows were nearly ashy and dry again. At the end of the day, my legs were scaly like as if I had never even put lotion on my skin. This product would require me to reapply throughout the day, which is totally inconvenient. So, I would not recommend this to anyone with dry skin that needs moisture. Maybe if you have normal skin, this could work. I certainly wouldn't purchase this because it doesn't save me a ton of time in the morning and it's not even moisturizing. On the plus side, it smells good and absorbs quickly. It has a lock feature so it won't accidentally spray in your purse or something, but if you're like me and you won't be spraying the lotion ever again, the bottle makes a great pretend microphone!

this glozzing cream adds high shine! when i use too much my hair looks greasy. it makes my dry ends look normal and it had a nice scent. i appreciate the suncreen protection. this is a great product for softening hair and making it look healthy.

i had tuna for lunch one day and i reached into my purse and used this...my hands smelled amazing! even my teacher said she could smell the scent from across the room! and best of all, the scent lingers on your hand for minutes later! it is not drying, and the beads disintegrate quickly. i love this stuff!

i love this blush! this is an awesome cream blush. i have the shade lush berry, which is one of the deeper shades. it is so pigmented and compliments my tan, medium skin tone very well. i believe it would even look great on fair skin, you would just have to apply very little product. this cream blush blends super easily and gives a natural, cute flush. it gives a flush-from-within type of look you'd expect from a cream blush. i just dip my elf stippling brush into the product, stipple it onto my cheeks, and blend away! when you put it on your cheeks it's really pigmented like, "OH WOW!" but you can easily blend it out and make it look natural. just don't use a lot! a little goes a long way with this [highly pigmented] blush. as far as staying power, this blush stays on all day. even after a 16 hour day, i could still see it on my face. i have dry skin, so i really appreciated the "olay cream swirl". the blush didn't dry out or look cakey throughout the day. overall, i highly recommend this blush. i give it an A! unfortunately, covergirl is discontinuing this! it's on sale in a lot of stores so snatch it up now while its still available! at a clearance price, this is a steal. but honestly, its a but much for the original price of $14

after trying this for SEVERAL weeks, i did not see a positive difference in my skin. my fine lines are still under my eyes. in fact, the same week i first tried this product, my skin broke out. the formula of this cream is very thick and sometimes hard to spread. is it moisturizing? it's hard to say. i did not feel long lasting moisturization. the product claims to remove wrinkles, but i did not see this happen for myself. i wouldn't purchase this.

i bought this nyx eyeliner because i heard good things about it and i've always wanted to try a nyx eyeliner...but NO! this eyeliner was pigmented, very black, and applied smooth, but that's where the good things about this stops. it smudges easily and makes me look racoon-y not too long after i've applied it. it doesn't stay on my waterline at all! i don't even have to yawn or get teary-eyed for this liner to smudge. on a hot day, this liner smudges and starts to transfer to my under-eyes, exaggerating my under eye circles. i would never buy this again. it was really messy.

i did not notice an overall difference in my skin tone. but i will say that it lathers up really well. this body wash did not make my skin feel sticky or squeaky after the shower, leaving soap residue on my skin. unfortunately, the moisturizing effects of the body wash only lasted in the shower. if anything, i thought my skin was drier than usual hours after using this wash. i don't think i would ever buy this. it wasn't good for shaving either. i usually use my body washes for shaving, but when i used this one, i didn't get a close shave like usual (and it was a brand new razor!). i used it for a little bit over a week, and my final verdict is that it is an average body wash that can make you feel semi-clean and moisturized.
