I love the original formula but this version had such a strong scent that I didn't even want to wear it. The formula also didn't feel as good to me; it felt thicker and waxier than the original version which might be a plus for anyone with really chapped/ dry prone lips, but not for me. In any case, i'll be sticking to the original version.

The regular various of this balm is my favorite & I have been using it for years now. It has a nice, refreshing minty tingle but best of all, it isn't super thick & absorbs rather quickly. I love that it's no fuss and doesn't have a glossy finish. I have tried the honey, strawberry, & pomegranate versions & didn't like them as much though; they were pretty much just like regular Chapstick brand balms in my opinion. They felt thicker & didn't seem to absorb as quickly and the scent on the pomegranate was very overpowering to me.

I really didn't like this. It didn't do anything a cheap translucent powder couldn't do & honestly, it feels kind of cakey & heavy, especially if you're going to try using it over foundation (whether you're using Bare Escentuals or another brand). My grandmother also tried this (I used the Bare Escentual foundation on her and she loved it) expecting the same great results she had from the foundation but this seemed to work in the complete opposite. It drew attention to spots, lines, and pores so you should certainly skip it if you don't have the best of skin.

I wasn't really a fan on this product. It didn't really do anything for me (or my grandmother when she tried it). Maybe it's because I'm lucky enough to have a bronzed/tanned look without sun or tanning stuff but it doesn't show up at all on me. I have to apply a lot more than I like to wear and then it just looks sort of ruddy more than anything. I think it might work a little better on lighter skin tones, but if you're darker/tanned I doubt you'll get any results from it.

I do really like the brush -- it's super soft & gives really nice even coverage. I also love the size of it. You get this and another brush in the starter kit for a good price so if you want to try it, I recommend getting the starter kit for a bargain on the make-up and tools.

I have the matte finish which looks white in the container; I did see other color available but I haven't tried them so my review is for the white only. It does a pretty good job at keeping shine at bay for a decent amount of time & I can't really complain about the price because it was pretty cheap at Wal-Mart. I liked that it wasn't chalky and went on smooth. My only problem (and the reason it doesn't get a higher rating) is that I have an olive complexion & even when I do manage to apply a very small amount on, it messes with my skin tone and makes me look like I'm wearing too light make-up. I don't think it's at all suitable for any skin tone other than fair. While it does what it is advertised to do, the formula needs some reworking so that it suits medium & darker tones as well.

I love HiP's metallic duos because they actually look metallic on the eyes. I find that most drugstore brand eye shadows that look metallic in their cases look more shimmery when worn so it was nice to get a beautifully pigmented shadow with a great metallic finish. I purchased a bronze/copper-ish duo & when I wear it with a primer/base, it looks like molten metal on my lids. I love it.

This shampoo is alright & it definitely preserves color more than a non-color preserving shampoo obviously. It does leave hair shiny & has a long lasting scent but it doesn't protect color as well as L'Oreal's Everpure line though.

This shampoo didn't really do anything besides clean my hair. I didn't notice any moisturizing at all, not even when used with the matching conditioner. The smell is pretty nice if you like coconuts though.

I love this stuff & I'm not a big liquid foundation fan. Too Faced is one of the few brands that offers a color that matches my olive complexion perfectly. I have acne scars & usually I can't get great coverage without going heavier on application, especially with liquid foundations but this one covers me up very well with just a little product. It's also light which is important to me because I get a little oily at the end of the day & heavier products make my face feel dirty & look cakey. This also has nice staying power & didn't make me break out like most other liquid foundations (yay!). I still prefer powders to liquids, but this one is one that I don't mind wearing at all.
