I just don't think it is that great, but I know it is one of Clinique's staples and I hate to upset the fanbase. I bought Black Honey several years ago after wanting a darker color for the fall. Well, they say it is the one shade that looks good on everyone. Wrong! I'm light/medium with olive tones and I thought it was too dark. Then, the other day I bought something from Macy's website and rather than pay $10 for shipping I added one of these on to my order to bump me up to free shipping. I got it in Chic Honey. The color is dark but not as dark as the other, but the lipstick felt dry to me. It was almost a matte which I really didn't care for. I thought it was going to have a little bit more moisture and a sheen to it. Not so much! Not worth $13.

I have to agree with one of the other reviewers; this mask is not my favorite. I like to see fairly immediate results with a mask and I didn't get that feeling with this one. I'm going to continue to use and will update my review if anything changes. The texture is odd; sort of cool and slimy, with the finest of granules that you can barely feel. I kept it on a bit longer but just didn't get the results I was hoping for. I have really nice skin to begin with, and as strange as it sounds, that might be part of the problem with this mask.

Update: with regret, I had to lower my rating to a 1. I will not be repurchasing. It has been a few shampoos later, and I am stunned at the amount of color STILL visibly being washed off. It looks like kool aid in my shower. I have never experienced this before with any other color. Not good and very disappointing. *********** I have been going through this haircolor phase where I've been trying different brands, different colors etc. The last color I used was a demi also; it was the nice n easy brand. This one is certainly better than the other! I bought it in cinnaberry, which is a dark brown auburn. I don't have any gray but I have noticed that the demi permanent colors don't seem to deposit enough color on the roots; it always looks like I need to do my roots even if I just did! The smell wasn't bad, but I couldn't believe how long it took to get the water to run clear. I rinsed for 15 minutes and then just gave up. I put the conditioner on and then rinsed for another 5 minutes. All in all, I love the non-commitment from a demi but I do prefer permanent color.

I used to think that because this mouthwash burns so much (and it does) that must mean that I can "feel" it working. WRONG! Alcohol alone doesn't necessarily equal fresh breath, in fact, too much alcohol can end up killing the good bacteria. I did a ton of research on mouthwashes a few years back, and believe it or not, Scope came out on top over Listerine every time, this was according to dental research I was reviewing. Ever since then, I have stopped torturing myself! Listerine burns, doesn't have that great of a taste, and frankly doesn't smell as nice as Scope.

So surprised with all of the positive reviews! I just thought it was okay at best. There was no wow factor and in fact, I really couldn't tell the difference between my daily conditioner and this treatment. I have had better experiences with conditioners that come with the color. I would not repurchase.

I recently went to an upscale spa to get a pedicure, and the receptionist had the most flattering makeup on, especially her skin and blush; I had to ask her what blush she was using! She said it was this powder in Rose Glow, so of course I immediately went out and bought it and I am so glad I did! It's a fantastic bargain that can be used all year round. It is comparable Physicians Formula mosaic but a third of the price. The color is natural and the staying power is excellent. I would repurchase.

This is a nice blush for the price, but fair warning; it is sheer. Some reviewers have commented that there is a lack of pigmentation; I don't necessarily agree with that. I have purchased high end brands that were also sheer. I like this blush especially for the spring and summer, when I want less intensity. I recently purchased this in Wine for the fall, and I'm thinking that it may be too sheer for the cooler months and may not be enough color. All in all, not bad.

I purchased two boxes of this product for my long medium thick hair. I have used the nice n easy permanent product and had good results; however I was dissapointed with this product, which surprised me because I had seen some very good reviews online. The coverage was mediocre at best and fades very quickly. The conditioner was thin and runny, and there was no color refresher that the natural instincts product includes. If you are looking for a demi permanent color, I would go with natural instincts. Clairol missed the mark with this one. As a side note, look at the color swatches on the back of the box; what they refer to as a medium brown "before" color looks more like a dark blonde ash. I think right there they are telling us that not much color will be deposited. I should have picked up on the clue!

I was looking for an inexpensive body scrub and found a tube of this in Petals at Walmart for under $4. What a steal! The packaging is really cute and the fragrance was yummy; not artificial at all. It smelled just like Sweet Pea at Bath and Body Works. A lot of their fragrances are available in the same scents as Bath and Body Works but way more budget friendly. The sugar is coarse and there is no lather, which is exactly what I was looking for. Plus, a little goes a really long way. As a side note, TBJunkie made the same posting for every Bodycology product listed here. I didn't share that same experience and I would definitely buy this again.

I recently ran out of my usual moisturizer and after going to three stores and no luck, I remembered reading the good reviews on this product and thought is give it a try. It had a very odd smell that wasn't that pleasant; it sort of reminded me of squash. The texture was a cross between a gel and a lotion, but it almost seemed a little slimy in consistency. It didn't cause any breakouts or excess oil, which is good, but I don't know if it will be enough moisture for my combination dry skin during the winter months. I was glad I gave it a try and will continue to use until I am out (based on the size of the tub will probably be Christmas!) But will then go back to my other moisturizer.
