My grandmother has been using this since her 30s and today at 80, her skin is flawless! She swears by it. I adore the light scent, but the best part about this cream is how smoothly it applies and how well it absorbs. I have tried much more expensive night creams during the winter to only return back to this one. If I'm short on cleanser or makeup remover, I like to dab a little on a cotton round and swipe it on my face. It makes a quick fix! Also, while I wouldn't put it on my entire body, when I need to show my legs and haven't lotioned in a while, a quick rub of this has cracks fading in no time. Same for dry feet! Just wear with socks overnight and you'll find smoother feet the next day.

I'm not a huge gloss fan, but I couldn't pass up the chance to try out some fun colors for cheap. Even for a dollar though, I would not repurchase this product. Not only was the gloss tacky on my lips but the super sweet scent was off putting as well. Worst, I barely got any color out of it. If it weren't scented, I may give it another try (mine might be botched since their products tend to be a bit inconsistent in formula). If anything, I rather stick to my usual combo of some lipstick topped with lip balm.

I needed a pressed powder to carry around and turned to the Shiseido one for its great pigmentation and offerings with a yellow undertone. I personally do not like using a sponge with this as it makes me look cakey, and carrying around a kabuki can be troublesome. I also dread having accidental flicks of powder fall onto my clothing so what I use instead is a small, cotton powder puff (you can easily find these in a drugstore alongside with the sponge types). I had my doubts, but it works wonderfully with this powder and I can get the perfect light dusting of powder to even out my skintone. If I need a little more coverage, I use a clean finger to pat and blend out any spots. My only complaint is small. If you have any nearly/recently healed acne and the skin around where the blemish used to be isn't completely exfoliated away, this powder will emphasize it in an unflattering manner. So, make sure to moisturize properly and get rid of any peeling patches of skin before using this or any powders. Besides that this is definitely my go to compact!

This was my first toner, and the only one that I have liked enough to repurchase so far. It is no frills product, which I like. The fragrance is light and refreshing. I have both sensitive skin and a sensitive nose, and I have never found it irritating. I have normal-dry skin, but during the winter my skin becomes annoyingly dry. As this toner is alcohol-free, it does not strip my skin of its natural oils and gives it a boost of much needed moisture. When it's warmer out, I also like to swipe this on my face to wipe off any sweat and excess oils. I use this 2-3 times a day. With a good moisturizer and tea tree oil for pimples, this toner helps keep my skin soft and glowing skin. BUT NOT FOR THOSE WITH OILY SKIN. My sister (combo-oily) tried it, and it only made her greasier.
