I have this in Peaches and I love how I can adjust the color depending on where I swipe my brush. The powder is silky and goes on softly which I love because you can build your color. The tri-color allows me to use one as a highlighter, one as a blush, and one as a contour, or I can blend the colors any way I want to get color variations in the same palette. This is great because I don't have to buy other blushes as the seasons change because with a swipe of my brush I can change to match darker winter colors or brighter and lighter summer colors.

This mascara stays on until you take it off. It gives you great big thick lashes that don't flake, run, smudge or end up under your eyes in the summer humidity. Living in southern Georgia, this is a big plus. When I curl my lashes and use this mascara - talk about having wow lashes! I am disappointed that I didn't try this mascara sooner. Max factor will stop selling in the US starting in January 2010. I am trying to stock up while I can - you should too if you love this mascara!

I received two of these brushes free during a promo offer on Max Factor Color Genius powder and blush. I LOVE how well it works. It is incredibly soft and it applies product beautifully and allows you to build coverage a bit at a time. I have washed the brushes several times and have yet to loose a bristle. They have stood up wonderfully over the last few years. I only wish I could get a full line from time.

I love how this mascara makes my skimpy lashes looks full and lush. No clumps and the waterproof formula really is waterproof. No smudges or circles under my eyes at the end of the day. It came off easily with makeup remover, which was great because some waterproof formula take some scrubbing to get off. I also adore their color genius powder and blush, and have used various other products from the line over the years. I am really upset that Max Factor won't be sold in the US after the end of this year. It will only be sold internationally due to poor sales in the US. I have been stocking up at every chance once I found out.

I tried this deodorant as a last ditch attempt to find a natural deodorant. I had a horrible reaction to the crystal deodorants, and tried others like Kiss My Face and Jason which didn't last much past lunchtime. I purchased this in Apricot and I love it. Even on hot days the most BO I get is just the scent from the deodorant when I am hot. It doesn't stop sweating, so for dark clothes on a hot, sweaty day I have to use another product that has an antiperspirant in it, but this isn't too often. I didn't have a reaction, and my armpits got softer which made shaving easier.

This mask is THE mask. It cleans your skin like nothing else, and it does it all with natural and organic products. Whatever was going on with your skin before you put this on, say bye-bye to it. It soothes, it cleans, it moisturizes, it freshens, it revives. The jojoba oil will leave your face soft but not greasy, and the yogurt and honey do wonders. Yogurt is great for calming skin, and honey is a natural antibiotic that helps with controlling acne. Clay absorbs the excess oil but doesn't completely strip your skin like many other masks can do which leaves your face feeling dry and tight after use. Clean you face, apply this mask, light a scented candle, sit back and close your eyes for 10 minutes. Talk about a great way to relax after a whirlwind week or to get ready for an evening event. This mask leaves my skin dewy and soft. But what stinks is that you can't really find this mask anymore. Korres has replaces it with the Cinnamon and Natural Clay Deep Cleansing Mask. You can still find it by checking auction sites, Amazon, or doing a Google search for sellers. I am sad to see this mask go. I have yet to need to reorder and get the new mask, but I only hope it is as good as this was.

I sunburn just walking to the mailbox because I am so fair :) so this lotion has become my absolute favorite. It doesn't leave skin sticky like the gel and aloe lotions do, nor does it have that funky smell that comes with those lotions. This goes on light and cooling and feels sooooooo good on sunburned skin. Even when used on the face, it doesn't cause breakouts or stinging around the eyes like the other lotions and gels can. It absorbs almost instantly and leaves behind a faintly herbal smell that is actually quite nice. I even use this as a lotion when everything else just seems to heavy. When I do, I get compliments on my perfume. Ha.. It is more expensive than the big bottles at most WalMarts, but this is all natural and organic, which makes it a great pick if you are worried about what you put on your skin. Because of its thin consistency, a little goes quite far. A pea sized amount will cover your face or your arm between your elbow and hand.

I love using this lotion in the summer. It keeps the shine down on my face and gives good SPF protection. I love the matte finish it leaves which allows me to put on makeup without worrying about meltdown before I even leave the house. I would love it if they upped the SPF in this lotion. I am so fair I have to use an additional sunscreen, and it's hard to find one that doesn't cause breakouts, shine, or burns when applied. To be able to use this lotion only would rock. I like to mix in a bit of my foundation and primer with this to keep it light when the weather is really hot and humid to minimize the layers (sunscreen, lotion, primer, foundation, makeup) I have to wear. This combo works pretty well, actually. I am also really happy that Biore has come out with the new line for people who don't have breakouts but aren't ready for Botox. I love this line!

I have used this in Garnet Frost and Amber Suede. Both are great colors that work well with my fair skin tone. They aren't shimmery, which I like, but give just a bit of shine. I didn't notice any taste like other reviewers have - maybe it has to do with the pigments used in their particular shades??? The coverage was excellent and it lasted longer with a lip primer, but it did leave behind marks on my glass when drinking and wore off after eating. I was a bit surprised that the color in the tube was a bit different once it was applied. It's like my natural lip color altered the lipstick color a bit. Not complaining - I liked the results. I wish it stayed on longer, but that's the problem with most lipsticks. I recommend getting a sample before you buy a tube to see how the color actually shows up on your lips versus in the tube.

I am not usually a fan of Mary Kay products, as I have had reactions to them in the past, but recently I tried the eye color duet in Double Espresso. This is a really great combo for an updated smokey eye! It's a deep chocolate brown with a darker cranberry color. I really liked this combo, and got several great comments on it. It was very silky and had great staying power. It was a bit difficult to blend - it took a little more work than usual. I have gotten other sample cards in Onyx (silver/black) and Lagoon (silvery light and really deep blue) and those have been great as well for dramatic night time looks. I am glad that I decided to give this brand another shot!
