I'm not sure if I'm writing for the correct product, because I couldn't find the product name here....so I'm wondering if they changed it either to or from what I have now. I have a tube of Neutrogena AGELESS INTENSIVES Deep Wrinkle Moisture, SPF 20 (with Helioplex). I tried this because I LOVE the Anti-Wrinkle cream w/Retinol (the one that has SPF 15) but decided to try this one because of the the higher SPF. Well, I'm sure the Retinol is working great (with Neutrogena, it always does), but THIS PRODUCT SMELLS BAD. The scent is very strong....like a combination of chemicals and pet food, masked with a perfume-y smell. Seriously. I hate using it simply because the odor is so strong and I'm sure it's noticeable. Especially in the hot weather when my face and neck perspire. :/ This stuff stinks. It's a shame, because everything else about it is great. But the smell is so awful, I've only used it about four times and am too afraid to go out in public smelling like pet food. Guess I'll be going back to my lower SPF Anti-Wrinkle moisturizer...at least it doesn't smell. Dang.

I've been using BM on and off for the past few years. I've recently been assuaged by adult acne (I'm 38) and have combination, olive-toned skin. Bare Minerals is okay and looks good on me, but sometimes, I must put too much on because it does tend to have a weird shimmer-effect (like diffused lighting in a 70's photo). Also, my other two complaints would be that it doesn't last (no more than three hours tops!), and it doesn't take away the oiliness of my nose. I have to use pressed powder on my nose to finish my look and take away the shine. Other than those few complaints, I do like the coverage and the "naturalness" of it. :)

I'm NEVER WITHOUT THIS! It's the one make-up staple in my bag. I started using this ten years ago when I noticed a girlfriend using it religiously....that's all she wore and she made it look so effortless when she applied it. I became determined to try it and with a little practice, I could put it on easily. I can now apply it perfectly in seconds...it's just habit now. The black stays truly black (doesn't dry into a dark blue shade) and looks amazing with my olive skin, black hair, and brown eyes. It really does last ALL DAY, no SMUDGING, FLAKING OR STINGING. I prefer to soften the tip right away when I get a new one, as it tends to be a bit inflexible, but softens up with use, which I feel gives me more control w/the application. With practice and a steady hand, you can create both a thick, dramatic line or a thin, natural one. Excellent for everyone - first-time user or experienced, this is the perfect liquid liner!

This product is incredible and I guess it really does what it claims to do, because it leaves my hair soft, smooth and shiny....even after I terrorize it for fifteen minutes with my hair dryer! I don't need to use anything else....even though before I found this, I used to use a straightening cream to smooth my hair. With this, I simply spray it on (I spray it all over, even though the directions say to spray from the middle of the hair shaft on down) and dry. Usually after drying, my hair is roughed up, dry and puffy....but this product leaves my hair smooth & shiny & so soft! I love this product and won't ever be without it!

I adore this conditioner. I was at the end of a bottle of Hydra Vive and the next day, used this conditioner I'd picked up for a lot less money....and the difference was amazing. My hair was SO soft and shiny, I was dumbfounded. It softens and moisturizes my long, straight, black hair and it always comes out smooth, glossy and so, so soft. (And yes, I do blow-dry often.) It smells kind of like Biolage...coconut-y and nice, and while the experience in the shower is nice, the scent doesn't linger in my hair. But with hair this soft and shiny, who cares? :)

I love, love, love this shampoo (and the conditioner!) and use it all the time. The price is unbeatable, th scent is intoxicating and it leaves my hair soft, fresh & clean. I usually use Suave products on my long, straight, black hair, but this has become my favorite shampoo....I always receive tons of compliments on my hair. :)
