My son and I both get blackheads on our nose, chin, and around our lips. We've tried every exfoliant, cream, toner, masque...you name it, but keep coming back to these strips. We're always shocked and more than a little grossed out at what the strip is able to pull out of our skin, but it's better to have those "little trees" on the strip than under the surface of your skin! I'd also like to mention that these have never bothered my very sensitive skin in any way whatsoever.

This is a beautiful color and I bought it to bring out the green in my eyes. I wasn't overly impressed and my coworkers didn't even comment (and we normally always notice each other's hair and makeup!). They did notice, however, when my eyes turned bright red and began to water. I have very sensitive eyes and I guess the red dye in this product pushed me over the edge.

Almay Intense I-Color Bring Out Lengthening Mascara
My sensitive eyes couldn't tolerate the brown topaz
I have to admit that this mascara was very easy to apply and did enhance my eyes and lashes, but after an hour or so my eyes were so bloodshot that I looked like I'd been drinking. I have very sensitive eyes so this isn't an unusual reaction for me, but if you're sensitive as well then perhaps this should be a consideration before making the purchase.

WEN cleansing conditioners have just got to be the best thing since sliced bread, and the Tea Tree is excellent for my dry, coarse, curly hair and dry scalp! Even after the first use, my scalp didn't feel as itchy and yucky, and after several uses I felt for the first time in my life that my problem had been cured. I really can't say enough about the cleansing conditioners. I was very skeptical about them, but now I'm a true believer and WEN addict!

I have a fair complexion and very thin skin beneath my eyes so the blue veins there are a nightmare to cover. I had high hopes after reading the reviews on this page, but this product didn't do the job for me. I found it a bit drying and difficult to blend, and purchased two different shades in an attempt to match my coloring. More money down the drain.

It seems like everyone and their mother loves this product, so I ordered the starter kit from Sephora a couple of years ago. I love this product for it's all-day coverage and smooth, natural-looking finish. My chief complaint was that it didn't give the totally matte look that I prefer...if anything, it was a bit shiny in my t-zone, no matter how many times a day I blotted the oil. However, it is easy to use and one you get the hang of the "swirl and tap" method it doesn't take long to apply. Probably not the best product if you travel a lot, as the powder sifts through in transit and you have a big old mess when you open the pot!

Avon ANEW CLINICAL Plump & Smooth Lip System
The ONLY product that's helped the verticle lines around my lips
I'm a smoker (please hold your applause)and yes, it's taken it's toll on my lips. I've tried many products to control the verticle lines around my lips...the very expensive to your Walgreen's brands, and this works like a dream. Within 3 days I no longer had a problem with "feathering" or "bleeding" of my lip color, and was pleased to note that the shape of my upper lip had "tightened-up" some, so that it was in a perfect bow shape! My only problem with this is that the white end of the pencil gets used up faster than the grey end, so I have to get a new one even though I have plenty of one side left.

I adore the clean, fresh scent of the Amazing Grace line. It's just perfect for the days that you want something light and clean-smelling. Unfortunately, even though I use the soap, lotion, powder, solid scent and spray perfume all together the fragrance just doesn't seem to linger for more than a couple of hours.

My stylist used this on my wedding day, and even the morning after our "honeymoon night" my hair was perfectly in place! I don't use this on a daily basis because it is pretty heavy...and forget about trying to comb through it...but for special occasions when you don't want to have to worry about your hair staying in place, you just can't beat this product.

After I read the product review in Allure I ran straight to the salon to purchase this product. I have VERY thick, coarse, curly hair. This did help with frizz to a great extent and added shine as well, but I definately did not get the curl definition from it that I'd hoped for. If anything, my curls looked a bit limp. I don't think it's because I used too much of the product because I used it several times, experimenting with various amounts, and always got the same results. I gave a sample of it to a friend to try and she wasn't delighted either. I won't buy this again.
