I got this during a trip to Macy's looking for the CLinique anti-redness powder. The sales woman showed me how chalky and yellow the powder built up on my skin, and recommended that I try sticking with mineral foundations. After mentioning that I've used BE before, with disappointment in the color, she brought over a pot of this Estee Lauder version, and applied it. BE has always made me look way too pale and artificial before, so I was skeptical, however for my fair skin, the color she used on me (which is the lightest in the line) actually made me look real and not washed out. It also didn't settle into my smile lines. I told her I'd walk around and see how it looked in different kinds of light, and after only 30 minutes, I went back to purchase it, my skin looked flawless, I'm very impressed. The container also has a sifter guard so that if you take it anywhere with you, it won't dump out and all the powder won't be above the sifter when you unscrew the lid (I hate that!)

Ever since I first tried this years ago, I've loved it. Some hate the packaging, I actually love it, too cute! I have the sheer cherry red Revel. Love it, so sexy. It isn't tacky, it's actually very light.

I bought this on clearance at Target, so I figured I couldn't go wrong with the price. I had previously used the Clinique toner #2, which is like switching from Everclear to Juicy Juice. It's gentle, and the smell is divine. It literally smells like you opened a carton of Tropicana orange juice. Not to mention the "protective" benefits. I'm a little skepticle that a toner can help protect your skin from the environment, but hey, I'll take what I can get. Leaves my skin feeling baby soft too!

I use it to reduce the shine brought on by my sunscreen underneath the mineral foundation, does the trick for about 3 minutes, then is absorbed into the greasy moisturizer and dissapears. So I have to apply more than I'd like. I would say that it's not as chalky as the BE mineral veil. And at this price, it's definitely better.

I bought this at CVS when it was B1G1 free, so I figured it was worth a shot. I have had bad history with Bare escentuals, namely the color made me look washed out and it was expensive. I have to say, that not only is the coverage great, it's natural and I can't believe how flawless it makes my skin. Also, usually products that come with brushes have dissapointing quality, but the brush that comes with it really does work! I use it everytime I use this product. So not only do you get the makeup, but you get the tool as well (and it comes perfectly protected in the cap) so it's great for travel. Will definitely stick with this instead of BE.

Dare I say it, almost smells better than the fragrance spray! This is great when you just want to exude a hint of sexy scent. So not only do you smell good, but your skin feels good. I want another one for my purse!

I just bought this in a 5 piece set (awesome deal) from Avon because I love musky, sexy scents. Plus I think Jennifer Hudson is the perfect spokesmodel for this. Anyway, it really is fantastic, it's yummy, sweet, creamy, and fruity. It's like a sexy vanilla and plum milkshake! I hope they make this always. Even better, because it's so affordable, you can go for the lotion and shower gel to layer it up!

This was the first skin cleanser I used back when I was 13. All time classic, something I always go back to after trying other cleansers. If they EVER stopped making this I would have to go to the headquarters with a torch. Seriously, my skin has never felt as good with another cleanser than it does when I use Noxzema. The scent is phenomenal too.

I am a long time follower of the Noxzema line. In 1996, when I first started using facial cleansers, Noxzema cleansing cream was definitely my favorite. Not only did it clean, refresh and moisturize, but you couldn't beat the price. My favorite was by far the Plus Moisturizers, because my skin is sometimes dry and the scent is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Fast forward to today, I had gone on to try scores of other cleansers and other brands, but I have returned to my trusty Noxzema. I actually thought that they discontinued the Plus Moist. formula because no one caried it locally, but I recently found it online and immediately bought 3 jars. Please try this, it won't dry your skin and the scent is a REAL boost to your day (and night!) This is by far my favorite facial cleanser EVER.

I have the purple shade of this mascara, and honestly it isn't bad, it isn't clumpy and it glides on smooth, but it doesn't add a whole lot of length or lift, which is what I need.
