I have this in a grapefruit scent and while it isn't the worst scrub I've ever used, I can't say it's the best either. It does the job, though. It has a nice exfoliating texture and it lathers well so I never feel like I need two steps to cleanse and exfoliate. I don't love the packaging--I feel that the opening is a little too big so it's too easy to accidentally get too much product when ends up getting wasted. I'd prefer a smaller opening so the (somewhat pricey, as others have mentioned) product lasts longer. When I run out, I might just go back to mixing up my own with sugar and olive oil. It works just as well and is cheaper!

I have very fair skin and slightly unusual coloring for a redhead, so finding a foundation that matches has been difficult for me. This foundation comes in the perfect shade for my skin, so I've been using it for several years. I usually prefer lighter coverage, but with this product I'm able to add a little more if I'm feeling like a little more cover is needed. I feel like there is a decent amount of product in the compact and I love the texture of the applicator that comes with it. I can't say it does much for mattifying (at least not much more than any other powder foundation I've tried), but my skin is very oily and have yet to find ANY product that minimizes my shine for a full day. My biggest complaint about this powder is the plastic compact hinge often breaks before I've quite used up all the powder so I end up having to waste some of it since I don't want to risk getting broken powder bits all over my makeup case. Overall, though, this is an outstanding makeup.

I've had samples of Lavanilla scents before and while they are very nice, they aren't necessarily my favorites. Lavanilla products do make great gifts, especially for friends or family who have concerns about additives in their frangrances and skincare products!

I purchased one of these thinking it looked fun and easy and they have some really excellent color options. Unfortunately, while the color was very pretty, getting the color onto my skin was next to impossible. The shadow stick was very hard and it actually irritated my eyelid pretty badly when I attempted to apply. I gave it two or three chances (trying different methods to soften the product so it would go on smoothly and painlessly) before I finally gave up and threw it away. I don't think I've tried ANYTHING from Cover Girl since. I'd rather spend more for a higher quality product!

I keep Gilette Venus Embrace in my shower, but I hate to drag my normal razor along when I travel (I also like to keep a travel bag of toiletries packed so make packing for trips easier). These Venus disposables are perfect for travel! If they get lost, forgotten or broken sometime during my trip it's no big deal since they are relatively inexpensive and easy to replace. They also work just as well as any other Gilette razor. I'm impressed with them!

This is my favorite scent. I wear it only for the most special occasions because those are the moments I want the scent to remind me of. It can be a bit heavy, but I think it's a good kind of heavy. I think it's a very sexy, feminine perfume. I bought the rollerball first because it's less of an investment but eventually bought a spray as well and the rollerball stays in my handbag for the previously mentioned special occasions. It's not for everyone, but definitely worth a try.

I keep this in my work bag for the evenings I go out after work. I don't necessarily want to put on more makeup, just freshen up what I put on before I left the house. This works! It takes care of any shine and smooths out my skin anywhere my powder foundation may have rubbed off.

This product is incredible. It really does look great on any skin tone--I have fair skin and I wear it easily several times a week. It does require frequent reapplication which also requires frequent replacement when worn as often as I wear it (sometimes several times a week, though I've been trying to mix it up more so I don't run out so quickly).

I finally bought this mascara because I've been reading about it for years. Unfortunately I'm not impressed. It isn't a terrible mascara by any means, but I've definitely seen better results on my lashes from drugstore brands. It does seem to curl my lashes a little, but to see that (or any) effect I need to put on at least 3 or 4 coats and I just don't have that kind of time in the morning. I'm not returning it (it's Dior!) but I also won't buy it again.

It's a little pricey, but I'm hooked on this cream nonetheless. It's very soothing and I love the herbal scent. I originally bought it because they said it would help with my eczema. It doesn't seem to help at all, but it certainly doesn't make it worse like some lotions do and it's still very soothing for dry winter skin. It's also great on legs post-shave in the summer.
