From someone that really likes to use their fingers with makeup, if I had to recommend a brush this would be it. The bristles are soft and never fall out. The brush also makes it a cinch to apply foundation very evenly and allows the user to layer nicely if needed. I dont like that the handle is so long, but that's not such a big deal. I do love that they have now added a cap on the brush so you slide it down to use and then cap the brush when done, its removable if you dont like it, but it keeps the brush really clean. This is the only brush that I've used for years. repeat buyer.

I put this on after washing my face and I will say it's refreshing and does moisturize like you think a gel would (don't really get the "cream" part)...but I wouldn't buy this again because it seems to sit on the skin. If you do a mask and then you don't want a super heavy moisturizer, then I think you would use this (that's how I use it) but as an every day moisturizer, I dont think it really fits the bill. About an hour after use, I could rub my face and it was more like i had left remnants of a cucumber gel mask on my face. Maybe put it on and then do not put under make up? Not sure what to use this for...but gets some stars for fresh scent and cool feel.

What a great deodorant. I've been a SECRET fan forever and I'm a classic powder smell kind of person but I got a mini sample of the cucumber deodorant and WOW. Great lasting power! Great smell! Very refreshing and doesn't really rub off on my clothes (I'm from NY and definitely wear black way too often). I was so impressed with this deodorant and I also found that it moisturized my underarms really well and didn't stick so hard when trying to rub off in the shower (Secret leaves this weird dry feeling sometimes). I was very pleasantly surprised by this deodorant. My only gripe was that, like many deodorants if you leave the cap off it's dries out super easily and won't glide...this one dries out a little quicker. Also, due to the construction of the stick, it sort of fell out a lot quicker which was annoying. But the product is great. Cucumber is a fantastic scent for the summer and I'd stick with the powder invisible solid for winter. Dove steals me away once again!

I can't rave enough about this razor - it's aboslutely perfect. The shave is so smooth that it makes my skin shine after using...it's so close it looks like I dont grow any hair. Therefore, the shave lasts a lot longer and I have black hair, so you can definitely see when it starts growing. I've tried a lot of razors, but this one lasts a long times, gives the best shave and leaves your skin extra smooth. Big vote of yes for this item! I can also say that I have never gotten nicked or cut from this razor...*always use shaving cream.

I had developed some sort of rash on my eyebrows ...dry and flaky which was a bit inflamed and seemed to come out of nowhere. I dont have sensitive skin nor have I ever experienced this, but I was a little hesitant to go to the dermatologist in fear that they would recommend something too strong. I did some research online and saw review after review about this cream and egyptian magic...I got both. I tried this one on the dry spots and they were gone in 2 days. amazing. Now I just use this on elbows, on my face (though I have to powder after so there's no shine), tips of my hair...it's like an all purpose salve that I highly recommend. There is no real scent to it so you can use it in excess or as little as you want ( a little goes a long way). I definitely recommend to anyone as it heals better than even neosporin or anti bacterial creams. EXCELLENT!

Yes, this has always been that classic perfume that everyone loves..light, airy, slightly musky..it's definitely got a distinct smell that seems to be universally flattering. I say get a sample of this and try it. If you already wear it and love it, but want something just a little bit different...then I say try Burberry Body. It holds the elements of cashmere mist that we all love but gives it a modern day boost....

UPDATE: After three weeks of use I'm pretty upset to say that though my face did look better at first, I got these weird dry spots around my eyebrows that became inflamed after using this consistently. I NEVER get any type of breakouts or dry skin, nor is my skin sensitive. This burned my face in a weird way and made it inflamed. I was 100% in love with this product and couldn't rave enough about how great my skin looked and now I have these really noticeable spots. I had to update my review. I guess try it but be careful. I also recommend dotting this around the face instead of rubbing it on like a lotion. (originally rated this a 9).

This is the most effect way to cleanse your pores. I've been using this product for years and it does such a great job that it should be a basic staple in every beauty closet. I don't have enough good words for it so I'll just say highly recommended. Period.

I'm not going to say that this is perfect mask, but I will say that it actually does illuminate the skin and leaves a lasting effect of overall smoothness/glowing. So I would call it effective. BUT, it's not that easy to use. First off..if you put too much on, it will NEVER dry and eventually you will have to wash it off which makes it not so effective. Also, if you put too little on then it will sort of break apart when you try to peel it off and you may have to rub it off, which will also make it less effective. So, be careful about putting on an even, thin layer under which you cannot see your skin but also doesn't feel heavy. Also, if you get it on your eyebrows, hair around forhead, etc...it will pull it out and can be very painful so follow the directions and put it around your mouth/eye area as instructed. At the end of the day, when used correctly over time it will really help your skin...it's just REALLY specific in directions. If you have the patience then I say you must use it. Also a tip, I use a biore nose mask (I love it too much to let go) and put this mask around the rest of my face...I feel the mask doesn't clean the pores on my nose better than the strip but is great for the rest of my face. I can see how this product would irritate sensitive skin. As much as my review looks negative because of the effort put into this mask, I still swear by the lasting results.

Taylor Swift Wonderstruck Enchanted Eau de Parfum
Love the Scent...Good Thing Because It's Strong/Clingy
This is a surprisingly delicious and somewhat fresh and girlish scent...kind of reminiscent of whatever the air smelled like when you had your first high school crush. Its warm and inviting...and this is a lot coming from me because I really didn't like the first scent (purple bottle). But this is absolutely amazing. The only problem that I have is that this is extremely strong and clingy. I kind of wish it's spritzed out a little less...but still went all over. It's very clingy and lasts forever, which is sort of good for me. That's the only con and for some that isn't really a con.
