I have oily eyelids and before finding this product my eyeliner would migrate to the creases of my eyelids and look so gross and messy. I hated it and even skipped eyeliner some days to avoid the problem. After reading about and trying another popular primer (I was not all that impressed with the other) I decided to give this one a go. I was blown away by how well it worked! My eyeliner (gel, liquid, pencil, powder, etc.) stayed put all day with no creasing or smudging. I even went to bed with my eye makeup on one night just to see and, other than the mascara mess, my eyeshadow looked pretty darn good for having been slept in. I wouldn't recommend doing that of course but I just had to see how well it would hold up! I use this primer every day and when there was a special sale at a local cosmetics store I purchased all the tubes they had left. No fading or creasing issues, no irritation and it makes my shadow colors richer.

As a toner user I have tried many different ones on the market today. I have found that cost doesn't seem to matter in efficacy. A popular department store brand is mostly alcohol and or witch hazel with very little salicylic acid but it costs more than mixing these ingredients in your own home, for example. So when a sales person recommended this toner I thought "here we go again," but of course I tried it (can't help it, I'm addicted)! Oddly enough I was pleasantly surprised with this toner. No burn, no horrid odor and it has some good ingredients for the skin. Not the most budget friendly but certainly not a pocket book buster either. I think it is a good toner that doesn't sting/burn or cause me to break out and my skin felt very nice after use, no sticky after feel.

I agree with previous posters who said that this toner can be used in emergency/immediate need situations. I can't use it daily as it is way too harsh for my skin and can actually make my eyes water when using it. For spot treating and on my husband's super oily skin it is great though.

I used this eye cream for quite sometime and finally threw in the towel and moved on. The texture is great, not too thick, not too light and it moisturized well but I saw no noticable differences in my eyes when compared to what they looked like using another high end brand's eye cream. I gave it a 5 because of the nice texture, hydration and the fact that it didn't burn or irritate my eyes and the surrounding skin but for the price I don't feel that the end result can justify the purchase.

I struggled to come up with an appropriate review for this product as I really like it...but not for what the label says it does! I really like the scent as in my opinion it doesn't stink like so many other self tanners and it gives me a soft glow but the glow doesn't last long and even though it is a gradual tanner it still takes too long to build. What I do like it for is a body bronzer. This lotion can give you a nice shimmery bronze glow on your legs, arms and shoudlers for sure. It is great for a summer evening out when you want to wear a sundress or something strapless. I also like that I never found a streak and it didn't turn my super pale skin orange. Unfortunately I think there are less expensive body brozers out there so I don't see me ever purchasing this product again.

This oil works very well on my fine hair to protect it from heat styling and just gives my hair a nice sheen. I use a small amount on damp hair before blow drying or flat ironing and I think it really makes a difference. My hair is fine and doesn't look fried or frizzy when I use this product. Yes, it is expensive for such a small bottle but I use so little that it is definitely worth it.

This is what was recommended by my stylist when I had my hair highlighted about a year and a half ago. I boug the liter sizes of both the shampoo and conditioner and used them exclusively for months. I think this shampoo smells very good and did seem to brighten my highlights for a while but then my hair became very dull and stayed that way until the next appointment for a touch up. Because I am new to highlighting my hair I can't say if the shampoo was to blame or if I should have expected the dullness after 6-8 weeks but I was a bit disappointed. I have been trying other products for the last couple of months and have alternated them with the Blonde Glam and had good results so maybe my hair has build up issues with this shampoo/conditioner. I don't use styling products other than a tiny bit of hairspray for flyaways or a dime size amount of moroccanoil on the ends.

I use this hairspray more for fly away control where I part my hair so I can't really comment on how well it holds a more sophisticated style but for fly aways it is good. I like the fact that my hair doesn't look greasy or crunchy as some strong hold hairsprays can do. It holds well, through my 8+ hour work day and doesn't cause flakes or irritation on my somewhat sensitive scalp. The only real issues I have are the fragrance (waaayyy too strong for my liking) and the fact that I am constantly unclogging the sprayer. This stuff sets up in the sprayer like glue and I have to run hot water over it, chip away at it or use a small pin to break through the crust! Otherwise I can't complain as it works well and one can lasts me ages.

This is the anti-perspirant/deodorant that I use regularly. I like the fact that the scent is light and I don't feel like it is competing with my perfume as some others do. I find that it does come off on clothes if you don't give it a minute to dry but that has only happened to me once...lesson learned. I am a runner and I sweat, yes I know it is gross but it happens! I need a product that is going to work and work well to avoid the stinkiness and the moisture issues associated with a lot of physical activity. This product does what it says and I have been faithfully purchasing it since my first tube when it initially debuted. As for putting it on at night, I sometimes put it on after a bath or second shower in the evenings but I typically use it every morning. I know the theory of body temperature overnight is supposed to be one of its main features but it works just as well for me in the morning! The only reason I took off a star is due to the price. I do feel that it is a bit expensive but if it works, what can you do?

This is the best oil that I have used in the bath. I love to take baths in the winter with this oil as is it super hydrating. My skin is dry in the summer and drier in the cold winter months so I rely on this oil to soothe and hydrate. I can bathe with this and the softness lasts all night and the next day. Now that I read a previous review recommending mixing it with my body lotion I am going to try that too!
