In my mid-twenties, my face suddenly began breaking out with whiteheads and painful red bumps/cystic acne around my chin and mouth. After reading the glowing reviews on this site, I decided to purchase the Lexli Acne Kit. I have officially used their system for two months and have noticed a decrease in whiteheads, but no decrease in cystic pimples and other kinds of red bumps and no decrease in healing rate, although there is a little less pain with them overall. I had to keep changing the recommended product routine because it cause my face to dry out and peel terribly (I started with combination skin, oily t-zone, normal cheeks). By the end of it, I was washing my face in the morning with a gentle cleanser (non-Lexli), using moisturizing sunscreen along with mineral makeup. In the evening I'd use a deep cleaning makeup remover (non-Lexli), then use the Aloe Based Cleanser, this lotion, and Cetaphil face lotion after my workout. I'm giving this product five stars because it help my minor acne, but didn't really touch the painful and embarrassing stuff. All the acne products have a somewhat unpleasant smell.

After developing adult acne, I couldn't find a make up remover to unclog my pores. Either the remover caused painful zits or it was not heavy-duty enough and I became very frustrated. After doing some research, I went to the drugstore to pick up Pond's Cold Cream, but instead walked out with this. I'm very glad I did. At first I was worried, thinking the cream would definitely cause more breakouts, but it has actually lessened them. I apply the cream, tissue it off, and rinse my face with water. I gave it nine stars because it occasionally leaves my skin taut, but Cetaphil is a quick fix for that. I love this product and will stay with it for a very long time!

I bought this product about two years ago and fell in love with it. The lip gloss is a bit sticky and a little annoying to put on with your fingers, but it gives you sexy, pouty lips in no time and moisturizes better than any lip balm. Black Raspberry is my favorite. Even last night my date couldn't keep his eyes off my lips. They just came out with a tube version which I'm planning on ordering in the near future. I'm hoping it will be just as naturally seductive as this kind!

I have hereditary dark circles and this is what I currently use to conceal them. You must put this on in a thin layer, with the applicator or a brush. If you don't, it will crease. At the end of the day, the dark circle are peaking through and it looks like it might have flaked off or something. But, I have noticed if you use a moisturizer underneath this concealer, it will apply easier and stay much better throughout the day. I did realize I prefer liquid concealer, and will not purchase this product again.

Such a bargain for such wonderful brushes!!! My friend picked up this brush set at Walgreen's and made me promise to get them for myself. When I bought them, even the cashier was raving how much she loved this set. And I'm so glad I listened to them! The brushes are beautiful and are so soft! The powder brush applies just enough powder to conceal pores and combat shine, but not make you look chalky or powdery. The concealer brush is a life saver and let's you control the thickness of the layer with ease. The shadow brush is versatile and the liner brush is perfect. I use it to line my eyes and define my eyebrows in a snap. The only way I'd give these up is if I replaced them with MAC brushes!

I'm in love with the smell of vanilla and I would love my hair to smell of vanilla everyday. So while in Walmart one day, I decided to look at the shampoos & conditioners and found this product. I was so excited! I picked up the matching shampoo as well and was out the door to get home and try it out. Unfortunately, the products dried out my scalp, making it flake and itch. I had to give them both to a friend. The product works great for her and I'm a little sad that it didn't work as well for me. I'm giving it a higher rating, because the smell is divine and I believe it would work for most people. But if you are prone to a drier scalp, forgo this product for something a little more moisturizing.

I have hereditary dark circles and have used concealers since I was a teen. This is by far my favorite. It goes on smooth and is well worth the price. It conceals my dark circles perfectly, and I know when I set it with loose powder that it's not going anywhere! I also have used it to conceal acne scars and zits, and it performs wonderfully doing that job as well. As soon as I use up TimeBalm concealer (good concealer in it's own rights, just not for me), I will be switching back to this. I can't wait!

I used this mascara forever. Yes, it's hard to cover the primer. Yes, it's a little clumpy. But, if you learn to use it just right, it's great if your going for that false lashes look. The only thing that will really take this off is thick eye makeup remover, which I got tired of using. I prefer the regular to the waterproof. It works just as well and comes off with ease.

I have dark circles under my eyes (family curse), and I've tried every concealer under the planet to camouflage them. Displeased with what I currently have, I went into Clinique to buy a new concealer and came out with this. Out of everything else I bought that day, and I didn't buy concealer, this is the only product I continue to use (my skin had an allergic reaction to the skin cleansing system and foaming makeup removers). Adding this new step makes my concealer blend easily and look much more natural. The reason for the mediocre rating is I don't see how this is so special compared to other eye creams that you can buy at the drugstore for less money. It just moisturizes you undereye area and preps it for makeup. Not too difficult.
