I was using the Clinique Line Smoothing concealer and it worked fine, but I was running out and didn't want to spend a bundle on a concealer. When I was shopping, I ran across this concealer and even though I don't have lines, I really liked the preventative aspect and the SPF (even though it is only an SPF 10). I had never seen that before! I purchased it in "Light" and it was the perfect shade! I brought it home and it was so easy to blend in under my eyes. It was nice and smooth and not tacky or hard to tap. With the Clinique concealer, I felt like I had to tug at my undereye area to get it to blend. I just love this concealer! It instantly brightened up my eyes.

For many years I have used Skintimate products, which come in fun cans and lots of different scents. I am recently cutting back on my budget, especially when it comes to beauty. Skintimate products vary in price between $2.20-$3.80 or so, depending on the product and size of the can. However, this product is $1.68 at my Walmart, and only a $1 at the Dollar Tree, which is where I purchased it! That is over half off for a larger can than Skintimate. Wow. The cans are not as "fun" looking, but it does come in many scents, and the bonus is, I decreased my budget and the time it takes to shave. The cream rinses MUCH better from the razor than a gel and there is no clogging. Works great!

I purchased this product because of the claim on the package that this worked for both natural and acrylic nails. I have active length natural nails, and cracked the side of my thumb nail and wanted to apply to glue to hold it in place. However, this didn't even last three days. I followed the instructions, and it just wouldn't hold the seal on the nail and it ended up catching today and ripped off. I am not sure how this product would work with acrylics, but it did nothing for me. It was easy to apply and appeared to be very sticky immediately upon application, and I was surprised that it just didn't work out.

I recently lost my job and had to say Ahhhhh-dios to my $36 Dermalogica moisturizer. Ouch. So, I went to Walmart looking for a budget moisturizer. I have always been one to save on cleanser since it washes down the drain anyway, and splurge on moisturizer. However, I was surprised with this product! I have combo/dry skin in the winter and combo/oily in the sumer; it works just perfectly. I also didn't notice any "glitter" on my hands or face, and I am glad of that. In addition, I do prefer a higher SPF, so just for good measure I apply my SPF 30 block over this moisturizer. I have not had any dificulties at all and do like this moisturizer. However, I do worry about what ingredients I may be putting on my face since this was only $4.97. I will most likely going back to Drmalogica, but this is a great budget moisturizer!

This shave gel is just okay. It does the job, but the smell was awful. I received a free sample of this product with a package of Venus razors, in Floral Passion. The smell was unpleasant and seemed to linger - it reminded me of a grandmother's perfume - flowery but stale smelling. Ick. On top of that, I prefer Skintimate better. The cans are cuter, more fragrances to choose from, and fresh and young frangrances. Much more appealing. This product is okay for free, but I wouldn't purchase it.

Maybe I just didn't understand what this product was supposed to do, but I felt like it had more "hold" than I was looking for. After I was done with my blowout, it felt sticky and sort of tangly, rather than soft and smooth. I am not sure what went wrong, but I took it back to the store the next day.

I am so surprised with the reviews and ratings on this product. Admittedly, I have never used a dry shampoo until this one. However, I have not had any issues with this. My hair is long and thick and I just couldn't wash it everyday, so I wash it 2-3 times per week and use this product in between. I do like it but I wish it had more of a scent. A LITTLE goes a long way, so maybe that was the issue with the other reviewers? I only spray it on the areas that are needed, that are a bit oily or flat. Typically, that is my bang area and my center part. I am also a brunette and if too much product is applied, it will look white or gray. The product is coming out, even if it doesn't look like it. (I made that mistake once before!) I give it a minute or two, then use my fingers instead of a brush to fluff my hair and it gives me good volume. I have had an instance where the product felt a little like build-up and that was when I applied too much and didn't realize the product was coming out of the can. That also happened once before when I used the product for two days straight. However, if used correctly for your hair type and texture, I think this is a good solid product. I have not tried Batiste which is a well known Dry Shampoo, but would like to because I am told they have scent options which I am looking for.

I have this makeup remover in the Waterproof verion and lke this a lot! I used to use Clinique's version and I think Loreal's does a much, much better job. It doesn't leave a "ring" of eye makeup around my lashes.

I received this product for free when I purchased another product. At first, I thought it was a bit hard and I had to press deeply to get the moisture I wanted. Maybe the bees wax takes some geting used to? I do like the peppermint oil in it, but the lip balm itself is a bit sticky. I do prefer other balms to this one, but I know some are Burt's Bees fanatics and I totally understand! ;) The balm did soften up a bit after several uses.

I really like - no love - this product! I am sort of irritated with the reviewer that stated it was overpriced. The bottle is a 4 oz bottle for $12, and you need about the size of a pencil's eraser to cleanse the area. That is such a small amount. I have had mine for over a month and have barely even made a dent in the bottle. I wash my intimate area first, then use Dove body wash for the rest of my body, and rinse. They also sell this at Beauty First, which is more convenient than purchasing from the website. It truly is a great product and a great value. I anticipate this bottle will last 4-5 months. I purchased the Basil Grapefruit, and next time I will purchase the Lavender. In addition, this is the only feminine wash I am aware of that is PH BALANCED to your vagina. This is supposed to reduce or eliminate yeast infections and bacterial infections. Highly recommended!
