I love this stuff and it's always very inexpensive. I have very normal skin that is not sensitive and can stand up to a lot of exfoliation. This stuff delivers! Creamy yet grainy enough to allow for some excellent scrubbing ~ don't know how much the salicyclic acid works on my acne ~ it may really be just the thorough exfoliating you get with this product. I use this in the shower (it's soooo much easier to rinse away!) and I come out with smooth, fresh skin that feel really clean. If you do have sensitve skin, DO NOT USE THIS. I have a friend with sensitive skin who asked to use mine and she ended up with actual SCRATCHES on her face! But I love a good, deep scrub and for my particular skin, this works great.

All the bases have been pretty much covered in the other reviews, so I'll share my Vaseline tip. I slick this on my lips IMMEDIATELY after I brush my teeth when my lip skin is plumped and moist....the Vaseline soaks right in and keeps them very soft. It's such an ingrained habit.....and it keeps my lips looking beautiful. And it's my preferred go-to lip balm all day long....I also have it in tube form. One of the best basic beauty must-haves ever made.

Just bought this spur of the moment the other night....was heading to a concert and I forgot my usual Blistex Silk&Shine. It was pricier than my usual balm (maybe b/c it's "natural") but the color ~ Sweet Pink ~ was pretty and subtle. Lots of shine, no stickiness....without eating or drinking, it lasted about 45 minutes before I felt the need to apply again. I'm usually not a lipstick/lipgloss girl, but I do like this.

I have very long, naturally straight black hair that is healthy & normally very light-reflective. So I know immediately if a product is making it look dull. I ran out and just grabbed the Vibrant Shine S&C, since they were out of my usual Suave Humectant. And whoa ~ this stuff delivers AMAZING results! My hair is impossibly smooth & silky with an incredible shine. People have started stopping me to ask what I use on my hair. :)

This shampoo, along with its conditioner partner, work beautifully on my hair. Am just using my first bottle of this and so far, it's excellent! And it smells very subtle and nice.

I have dry skin that tends to get ashy and flaky if I don't regularly moisturize after showering. I use a strong skin buffer in the shower with my shower cream, and then apply this lotion on my damp skin and it completely soaks in while I brush my teeth and dry my hair. Not greasy or slimy in any way. I especially like it because it's inexpensive, but it really does last ALL DAY. And I have dry skin! I like the cocoa butter formula because it's rich and creamy and smells delicious, but isn't overpowering like some other cocoa butters - the fragrance disappears quickly, and doesn't interfere with my regular perfume. I use lotion everyday and this one is excellent for the money.

bareMinerals Flawless Definition Curl & Lengthen Mascara
Flawless Definition Is All You Get With This Mascara...
It's true to its' name...flawless definition and excellent separation make this a great everyday mascara. But if you're looking for length or major fullness, it's not here. The brush is amazing and I was shocked at how well it separated my lashes. They looked really natural and the tapered wand gave incredible coverage to even my tiniest lashes. But for sheer ooomph in length or fullness, I'd suggest a mascara dedicated to those looks. That being said, this IS a great mascara for an everyday, very natural look!

Bought this yesterday. I'm a huge lip balm fanatic, loved the pretty packaging and the gorgeous color ("Glow") of this product, so why not try it? Ummmm....not a big fan. The GOOD: beautiful color that showed up very subtly on my lips, yummy flavor & scent, interesting "cooling" Hydragel formula, SPF 20. The BAD: VERY STICKY (don't wear this if you have long hair and there's a breeze!), kind of gloppy application, a thick formula that doesn't really make lips soft. Very shiny...be careful how much you put on or your lips will look like they're coated in clear vinyl. I'll probably use this as a gloss but definitely not as a lip moisturizer.

I've always like this mascara for a nice, natural look. It definitely has a thinner formula and so there is a wait time after application, but it does leave my black lashes darker and more defined. It does NOT curl or lengthen...but does thicken a bit. . I do have to fan my eyes after applying it to get it to set. I use this when I want a minimalist look ~ it's perfect for those times when you don't want to do a full make-up. With this there is no drama, no thrills....just nice, dark lashes with a hint of thickness.

I have at least three tubes of this stuff at any given time. I am a bona fide lip balm addicts and I love this stuff! Silk & Shine leaves my lips soft & just lightly glossy and is never waxy, greasy or heavy. On my lips, it's soft and lightly moist - lipstick and gloss glide on over it, no problem. I have full lips that are perpetually in need of care and moisture, and this product always delivers for me. I'm always using it during the day, and my lips look great. I'm going to go put some on right now!
