Unfortunately i think this product is no longer available. I stopped using it when i got highlights so as not to mess with them. But when i used this warm blonde glaze on my natural light brown hair i was pleasantly surprised. My hair was shinier and the natural color shone on its own with no help from dyes. My friends always complimented my hair after i used this. Looked especially radiant if you do a nice blowout after the glaze.

There's a new variation of this BB cream out now in Light. Because of the SPF it comes on kind of white and powdery and hard to blend. I try to apply it with a wet sponge and it works well that way. Coverage is light. Blends in nicely with fair skin and it's not making me break out (I've used it every day for about 3 weeks now).

I've had this blush in the color Soft Rose and been using it sporadically for about 5 years and I still have more than half left over. So you definitely get your money's worth. Product stays fresh due to packaging; you never have to reach inside, you just shake it up so that the powder jumps up and then you can swirl the brush in the opening. The brush that comes with it isn't bad but you can use a different one. The powder itself is pretty fine and I think it looks very fresh and natural on the cheeks. Lately I've been using this blush everyday at work and it gives me just enough of a natural flush that's not too overpowering.

I bought the empty pen + cartridge in black at the Saks counter for about $33 a few years back. THe tip is perfect and application is ideal; but I had to refill pretty soon. I had the salesgirl put in the cartridge for me at the store. The refilled pen was terrible - I had to pump it about 80 times before the ink actually came out and then it dried up on the pen immediately. I actually managed to line only one eye before the pen just refused to emit any more color. I kept clicking to no avail still needing to do my other eye!! That is as much as I got out of this $18 cartridge, I might as well have bought a whole new liquid liner elsewhere!!

I'm very pleasantly surprised by this eyeliner. I got it on sale and had low expectations, but it's bumped itself up to being my everyday staple. The eggplant color is gorgeous and the liner itself goes on like a dream. I don't need to pull my eyelids or layer this 20 times to see the effect. Doesn't sharpen well - be careful or the tip falls off. But I still give this a 10 for the price, the color payoff, and the minimal efforts at application.

You can't beat the effect of true mineral pigment of these shadows. It doesn't scream in a garish way but gives you a glow that stands out naturally. My color is an earthy golden copper and it does a good job of fitting into any kind of eye look, whether it's smoky or layered or daytime. I always ask myself why I don't wear this more whenever I use it to do my eyes. Plus the nice opening at the top lets you shake some powder out into the cap without actually dipping your fingers or brushes into it, which keeps it fresh longer.

The bottle is nice and cute, medium sized, and shampoo lasts awhile. THe smell is very pleasant. Regarding the Thick&Full claims - I don't use this line's conditioner, but the shampoo alone seems to be doing just fine. It gives my hair a thick feeling and does seem to plump up every strand. I have thin and fine straight hair and if I leave my hair alone after shampooing (no blowdryer), it actually sets into this plump shape that gives the illusion of me having more hair than I actually do. But the times that I need to look more put together I just rub 2 drops of ORganix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil for Fine & Brittle Hair (there's a newer version that's out now) and flip my head upside down to blowdry. THere's decent volume at the roots and the hair itself is nice and sleek down to the ends. I recommend!

This scent really hits you as you first spray it, but seems to fade fast. It overpowers any other kind of smell around you at the moment so I use this to spray my cubicle all around when there's a bad food or other smell in the office. Something about it is very peppy and in-your-face. I prefer more of a subtle floral fragrance. Probably won't repurchase.

I agree with the girl who said this fragrance is 'royal'. Idk about pretentious, but this is what I imagine Paris to smell like - sophisticated, refined, subtle floral, and stylishly composed. This is my special occasion fragrance, I don't wear it daily because I'm afraid of running out. It's pricey but I'll probably end up buying it again. Of course there's never any sales or deals on this perfume, because it's THAT good and it doesn't need the promotion!

This jar of body butter is huge and will probably last forever. At first use it seems to get the job well done, covers up scaly and dry patches on the skin and smells really nice. But I've noticed that it kind of SITS on top of the skin. I've used this a lot as a hand cream and whenever I go to wash my hands, either minutes or hours later, I always get the sensation that I'm washing my hands of this stuff that's sitting on top of them. This doesn't really MOISTURIZE, because you have to keep reapplying it over and over. A true hydration product would dissipate into the skin and give you long-term moisturization, meanwhile this just kind of acts like a barrier against air. NOt impressed with the ingredients either - last time I checked parabens, triethanolamine, dimethicone, tetrasodium EDTA and mineral oil are terrible and toxic to the skin. Don't be attracted to the HONEY/ALMOND in the title either - you're better off just mixing some almond oil with raw honey and putting that on top of your skin, with BETTER results!
