This lotion is way to heavy to use on your face, but for your neck and upper chest, this stuff is out of this world. It goes on very thick and creamy, but absorbs really quickly. It helps to really plump up and take care of the neck and decolette. Great lotion to take good care of this area. Light scent, not greasy, and feels a bit indulgent when you put it on because it is so thick.

I got this several years ago when Avon first came out with their Planet Spa line. Ever since then this has been the ONLY scrub in my shower. The scent is to die for and it leaves your skin so soft. Use this with the body butter from this line and your skin will never be softer. It's not offered all the time in the catalogs, but you can usually order it online.

This product is so much better than most of the higher end brands like MAC or Estee Lauder. It goes on smooth and creamy, easily blends, and stays put. You never have to sharpen it, and it comes in enough colors to satisfy almost everyone.

This is such a great body wash. It leaves just a touch of scent after your shower. Perfect for layering with the perfume spray. Very relaxing, light scent. Amazingly soft skin after using. I stock up whenever they have the BOGO for this product. If you are looking for a gift, a Haiku set from Avon would be perfect. The scent is so light and pleasing that I have yet to find anyone that doesn't like it.

For the price, this is a handy little tool to keep in your purse. The liner only comes in one color, but it is almost a dead ringer for your natural lip color. It goes on smoothly, and the little brush on the other end makes applying your favorite color a breeze. I like ti because it means one less thing I have to carry in my bag! Use it with the lip primer/plumper stick from the Studio line and you will be pleased with the how well your lipstick stays in place.

I have to say, for a buck this is a really great blush. I have it in Innocence and it works beautifully with my fair complexion. The size is small, but truly, what do you expect for a dollar? ELF uses a lot of natural products and doesn't test on animals like many of the big makeup companies do. Their ingredients may be why some people react. I haven't had any problems with that, and many of the big cosmetic lines often make me break out. I always end up returning their products after a few weeks because my skin starts to look like I am hitting puberty again. One line even gave me horrible cystic acne that I had to see a dermatologist for. She said that many of the big lines add fragrance to their products to cover up or neutralize the chemical smell, and some people are sensitive to that. I have to say that whatever is in the ELF brand has never caused me grief. It's small, the design is a pain in the rear, but hey, what do you want for a dollar?

This is really not a bad shadow quad for the price. I typically don't like all the colors in quad sets like this, but for a dollar it is easy to grab the ones you want. Don't bother with the teeny applicator that comes with it. It is harsh and doesn't work. A small brush gets the colors out nicely. To get the best bang for your buck, use a primer underneath and the colors stay for a good 12 hours, even in humid heat. The customized compact colors are a better choice, but for a dollar, these little quads are certainly worth the price.

I love these compacts. You can pick and choose what you want, between eye, cheek and lip colors, so everyone can choose what they want, rather than getting a prepackaged pallet and only using one of the colors. I hope they come out with more eye colors soon. The colors go on true, the pigmentation is excellent, and the powders are very smooth and easy to apply. The lip glosses are great. They go on smooth with no weird taste. Perfect for setting up the "to go" makeup kit when you travel and don;t want to tote bags of products with you. If there were a room for a small mascara, this would be the perfect makeup kit.

I got this in Lilac Petal and am pretty pleased. It makes a great cheek color for my fair skin, and can also be used as an eye or lip color. Just a small swipe is enough to deposit color on your face. It needs to be blended, but it leaves a subtle color that leaves cheeks looking just a bit flushed. Very nice, goes on smoothly and doesn't smell funky (a big plus). I prefer this to the face shimmer whips for daytime as it doesn't have a high level of shimmer. The color goes on true, and I hadn't noticed it fading at all during the day.

I got the translucent compact as I am so fair. When I first used it, I was really happy with the results. It covers really nicely, just watch how hard you sweep the brush over the compact as a lot comes out with even really gentle swipes. It left me with a subtle glow that had people asking me what was up - why did I look so happy and relaxed. I am far to fair to try any of the other colors, but I am happy with the translucent. it gives just enough "umph" in color. It is the perfect complement to your routine especially for special occasions or events. I will certainly buy this again in the future.
