Here are all my reviews:

I know everyone says these are the same formula as the regular OPI, but I haven't found that to be quite the case. These chip just a little more easily on my nails, and the brush isn't nearly as nice. I still have a few colors, though, since as others have stated, Sephora carries a lot of exclusive shades that you can't get from the normal OPI.

I almost won't even buy any other nail color. Not only does OPI make some of the most beautiful shades out there (with fun, whimsical names), but they go on beautifully and last really well. I also love the extra wide brush--which is instrumental in getting the color to go on nicely. I've gotten so used to using their amazing brushes that the rare times I use another brand of nail polish, I'm immediately disappointed with how tiny the brush is. I can't recommend this polish more. It really is the best brand out there.

I have this product in Fiery--a very bright red. Not normally the color I would choose (I let my boyfriend decide for me between the two colors I was interested in), but I have come to really love it. At first I was trying to apply it like a normal lipstick, but that definitely does not work with this shade (at least not on me). The color was coming out way too bright and I was terrified to wear it in public. Finally I figured out that I needed to apply it gently, just a tiny bit at a time until I reached an intensity that looked nice and I was comfortable with. And it really does moisturize, in spite of the matte look. It's amazing. If I'm in the mood for more shine, I'll dab on some Benetint lip balm over the top of this, but be warned if you do that the stain loses a lot of its staying power and more frequent re-application will be required. These crayons have a nice scent to them as well. I'd like to eventually get the other color I had my eye on.

I was SO skeptical when I got a sample size of this in a free set from Sephora, but I tried it out one day just to see and it's amazing. I have fair skin, so I'm always nervous about something like this looking too dark on me, but it doesn't at all. I smoothed it all over my face and it gave me the prettiest, healthiest looking glow I've ever seen from a makeup product. I used it as a primer underneath my foundation and it was just beautiful. It doesn't feel too heavy on my skin, either. I need to remember to use this more often because it's a very nice product. I'm pretty sure once I run out of my small tube, I'll be buying a full size of this. Illuminating, indeed!

I'm so sad they aren't making this anymore. I have a sample size of a shade called Hatha and I love it. I hope they are only temporarily discontinued because this lipstick is just lovely. It stays on well, it doesn't have any unpleasant scent or taste, and the color I have is very flattering. I was looking forward to purchasing it again, so I'll be keeping an eye out for them to be reintroduced.

I used to use this regularly and I loved it. The only reason I didn't buy it again was because I couldn't find it. Now that I look at the age of some of the other reviews, maybe they don't make this anymore? It's a shame because it did work very well for a good deep cleanse.

I've been using the sample size of this that came with my Pro-X brush and I'm not terribly impressed. There isn't anything I really dislike about it, but there also hasn't been anything about it that stands out to me as making it a great product that would be worth buying again. I'm really only still using it to use up what I have because I don't like to waste product.

I used to use this regularly, but over a year ago I started having trouble finding it at any of my local stores. It deep cleaned my skin and helped prevent breakouts. It has a nice scent and never left my skin with that dry, tight feeling or feeling irritated like some toners. I've been using a different toner recently, but if I can find this again, I'll switch back!

I used to covet the Clairsonic Mia, but couldn't bring myself to spend the money. Then I heard about this Olay item that is very similar so I started researching. Reviews are all positive so I started watching for it. It's so popular it was sold out at my local Target the first couple times I tried to get it. Finally it was in stock and I fell in love after the first use. It exfoliates very nicely, but gently and leaves my skin so very soft. It works great with any cleanser--I rotate, depending on the day and what my skin needs, between the sample scrub that came with it, my usual St. Ives scrub and my Fresh Soy face cleanser. My boyfriend has even used it with his Neutrogena for men face wash and he loves it, too. He probably uses it once a week and I use it 3 or 4 times a week and so far the battery seems to be lasting really well. It has two speeds, but I'm partial to the faster one. I definitely recommend this item, for what it costs compared to the Clairsonic version, it is most definitely worth it.

I've used these before and they do a nice job taking off making up and cleansing skin. I like products like this for travel, especially when I'm visiting at my parents' house. Just add water, wash, and throw away. The scent is nice and they always leave my skin feeling soft and smooth. Not as helpful as I would like for preventing breakouts, but I suppose I have other products for that.
