Pros: SPF 35; great all-day staying power; good base for blush and spot corrector; heavier coverage, evening out of skin tone; comes in five shades to skin matching. Cons: price, more expensive than the others I tried; shinier than I’d like. Overall: Smashbox’s BB cream provided heavier coverage and felt more like a foundation. It did not make my skin very matte, but did even out my skin tone. It served as a good base for my spot corrector and blush and had outstanding staying-power all day. I was shinier by midday, especially my forehead and t-zone.

I've had one of their shadows for years. I got it as a sample probably more than 5 years ago, and I still use it. I haven't had any issues with it breaking or getting 'old'. The color is a very pale pinkish/beige and its great to wear as a color just on my brow bone and under darker colors for subtle shading/highlighting. I'm a huge fan of Urban Decay eyeliners and eyeshadows for their longevity and quality for the price.

This day lotion is a nice light moisturizer. My main issue with it is that it is only an SPF 15. I prefer SPF of 30 or higher, as that is what is recommended by dermatologists for the best sun protection. I do like the concept that it is supposed to create more even skin-tone over time, but I've only been using it for a few days, so I can't tell for sure if that is going to happen. I assume it will take several weeks or even months to see any evening. The smell isn't my favorite. It doesn't smell bad, but doesn't smell good either. But I am glad it doesn't smell like sunscreen, because that's the worst. The texture of the lotion is nice. It goes on smooth and feels fairly light but is very moisturizing. Overall, this lotion is a nice every-day lotion, but I will look for one with a higher SPF.

I don't use shave gel often since my shaver has a built-in moisturizer, but this gel does work well if you like using a shaving cream! I love how it comes out of the can and it smells great!

This moisturizer is heavy and thick. It does not work well if you have oily or are prone to breakouts. It works great if you have extra dry skin that needs a lot of moisture. I've used this on my hands and other parts of my body when they are very dry because my face tends to be combo/oily, so I don't want to add any more heavy moisture to my face. I definitely like it when I've used it on my hands and neck.

I really liked this product. It added mild volume, mild hold and a lot of shine. It is not at all sticky and didn't weigh my thin hair down. I will continue to use this product, as it is easy to apply to my wet hair before I dry it and gives me a little bit of volume and hold, which I liked.

I know some people that swear by this soap, but I always feel like it leaves a layer on my skin, a soapy residue. I also don't really like the smell of this product. Soaps in general are messier than bottles of cleanser, so I'm just really not a huge fan of this product. It works fine, so that is why it gets an OK rating, but its definitely not my favorite.

I've never really understood the point of toners. They may add some value, but I just don't think they are necessary. I've used this toner before, but didn't really see or feel any results. I just don't find the toner step really important in skin care. I always wash and moisturize (cream and serum), but toner is a step I just don't think is needed.

Pros: SPF 30; fuller coverage so no need for spot corrector; full-day staying power; comes in four shades for better skin match. Cons:shinier than I prefer, heavier feel than I prefer; vague description of anti-aging benefits. Overall: Clinique’s BB offered a heavier coverage than the others. I found my skin still looked quite shiny after application, but my skin texture was smoothed out and imperfections better hidden. This BB had a noticeably heavier feel than some of the others, but it had great lasting power throughout the day. It also served as a good foundation for my blush and blended well with my spot corrector.

I love this eyeliner. It has the best, smoothest texture. It just glides on so well and stays put all day long. The pencil lasts a really long time too. I don't use it every day, as I also alternate with Urban Decay liners so this one pencil probably has lasted me at least a year or more.
