I don't know why, but I have never found a primer that agreed with my skin. This feels silky and soft, and I like the luminescence, but it did NOTHING to help my makeup stay longer/look better. Sorry, but that's all I have to say about it. Sad :(

If you are at all familiar with the Bare Escentuals face powders, I'd say this is quite similar in the way it gives you a nice, not overly-made-up glow. At the store, one of the selling points from the sales associate was the fact that it comes with a brush, but the brush is not great at all. Since I've been using BE for several years, I have plenty of brushes that work well with this product. From the feel of it, the quantity is sufficient to last several months, so it really is a good value. It's great all year round, but it will be especially nice in the winter when my skin needs a little help from makeup to look sunkissed.

As a complete and TOTAL mascara junkie, I have found a way to use this and get amazingly lush and full and feathery lashes. I always wanted to try Guerlain's version of this type of mascara/brush combo (the original) but always balked at the high price tag. L'Oreal once again has come up with an amazing substitute that is wallet (and gas tank) friendly. I tried using this alone, and for what I want in a lash fringe, it didn't cut it. The more ridiculous volume for me, the better! I tried using this in different ways every day, and finally struck gold. I apply a regular lengthening/thickening mascara at the base of my lashes, then do another coat of the same throughout all of the lashes, then apply THIS on top. BAM!! It gives that extra oomph that my lashes were looking for. It separates so beautifully and gets into those inner corners, too. I like to take the applicator and kind of do a "windshield wiper" motion across my whole lashes to finish off. LOVE THIS!!

this lip scrub is fantastic!! my lips are moisturized after i finish using it, and it scrubs that dead skin off with no problems. the beads might be a little harsh for those with sensitive thin-skinned lips. but if you can handle it, it's wonderful. i highly rec. to give this a try! especially if you're one of those lippy person. i like to keep my lip moisturized and in the best condition, makes gloss and lipstick look so much nicer. it's only $14, lasts quite long, and for the quality, this is almost a steal. great combo with their lip treatments.

I purchased this product in noir, a true black. It is a very nice mascara for lengthening and defining lashes, but if you are looking for a thickening mascara, this is not the one for you. My only complaint is that it can make lashes feel slightly brittle, but not enough to put me off repurchasing it. As far as the waterproof qualities go - I don't know yet!! Maybe I'll go sniff an onion to try to find out. It does have a strong scent, which may put some people off however.

I initially liked this moisturizer. Short list of ingredients and fantastic sunscreen. If you have dry skin, this moisturizer is great. However...I cannot use this product. The sunscreen is chemical and contains Parasol (I contacted Nordstrom LM rep) which I am allergic too. If the sunscreen worked, it would have been a keeper.

I didn't think that I would like this product, because usually I use a mousse product, versus a spray in product. I really LOVE this! It makes your hair thick instantly the minute you spray it in you can feel it. It is not sticky, tacky or gummy feeling at all! It does not tangle my long, fine hair the way that a lot of volumizing products do that I have tried before, and it definitely will not dry out your hair either. This spray is great for my hair. I will continue to use it every day and will definitely recommend it. I hope that they never, ever, ever quit making this wonderful volumizing thickening product!

I'm on my second jar and I rarely consider a product to be good enough purchased again, so IMO this is a great hair treatment (can be used as conditioner, too, so it's 2 in 1). Nourishes and makes hair super shiny (shinier than most shine serums, actually). Smell's nice too. A little goes a long way on my thick dry damaged hair!

This is a very pretty, clean and feminine scent that works well for me. I consider it to be a very good budget-friendly (& longer lasting) substitute for Annick Goutal's Le Chevrefeuille - they are very similar in style. My review is for the EDT only - the body splash seems to smell a little bit different on me; don't know about the lotion.

Too bad I will never be able to tell if it works because this product is too greasy to keep using. This product doesn't absorb well and my skin feels like it has a heavy film over it. Reminds me why I stopped using Avon products long ago...
