I use this when I need full coverage... I hate foundation and when Bare Minerals is too drying and I need full coverage this becomes my go-to product. I use W-4 warm natural beige... it is easy to blend. It's not a perfect match for my olive toned skin but comes close. I use Make Up For Ever HD powder to top this and I am dewy enough through out the day. It comes in a range of colors and is good for the price. I recommend it if you use foundation sparingly like me.

I love the exotic scent of the oil. It made my dry hair shiny and manageable... however, I do notice that when my hair is very dry that this is not a save all. I have to use Fekkai's glossing treatment and this to blow dry. I also alternate with Oleo-Relax. My ends are the most damaged and sometimes the oil does not fully absorb into my hair but merely rests upon it. Overall a good product but do not discount old-fashioned mayonnaise treatments for a simiar and more cost effective way to make your hair shiny, soft and manageable.

While this product did help my occasional blemish, it left the affected area very dry due to the concentration of sulfur. This is emergency level product for me and probably best used during the summer. It takes me about three days to recover after using it but it does do its job. I would say this is better for people with really bad flare-ups. Perhaps, they can make a milder version maybe at 1.0% and i think it would suit people like me with combination, sensative skin.

Good masque... it does absorb the impurities but at times it can be over-drying. I use it during the summer and before my cycle starts since that always makes my skin more oily. I have combination, sensative skin but this masque has not given me any trouble save one time when I used it in quick succession following Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme masque. The tube will last you as all you need is a light layer. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with warm/cool water to prevent irritation.

I have to say that I wasn't impressed. It hydrates somewhat but because I suffer from dry lips, my top picks are Aquaphor and Smith's Rose Bud Salve. I think it is great that it is SPF but I not a fan. Unfortunately, the scent of MAC produts is off-putting to me and wearing this right under my nose doesn't convince me otherwise. Save your money and go for something half the price.

Perhaps, I have to give another go but I found that this was slightly difficult to apply. I have it in Smashing Smoke and can't say that I want to buy another one... it was too expensive of a mistake. Just as another reviewer said, it flaked. Did I buy an old one? I am trying to find meaning behind all these good reviews. Maybe in the future as a sample but not as a purchase from my pocket until it can prove otherwise.

Good gel liner if you are clumsly like me... I bought the application brush with it. I had to practice a while to get the hang of it... I like how it glides on and doesn't go anywhere until you wash your face. Good for tight lining if you're truly skilled. I purchased it in Blacktrack which is basic black. Good luck to those that expand their horizons with turquoise.

Sadly, I wanted to like this mascara but I really had to struggle to make my lashes appear big and full. The mascara is fairly moisturizing so that was a plus. I have sparse lashes so I really had to work to get this to acceptable. Still my favorite go-to's are Maybelline Great Lash and Cover Girl Lash Blast Deluxe. Thankfully, the purchase was travel size and not a complete waste. I keep it in my purse for emergencies.

I like these rich colors from Nars. Night Porter has just enough shimmer... a strange mix of brown, purple and shimmer (at least that is the effect on me). I have had minor complications when used over primer and so the next time I will have to try Nars cream shadow.

Love the kohl and contour line... have it in black and it never fails. Rich pigment not wax and I use it on top of my liquid gel liner to fill in spaces.You can smudge it perfectly if you need to.
