Blush is a lovely color and is very shiny, so I hope I can find something similar in another brand. This gloss is just too flavorful/perfumed and too short-lived for me to consider repurchasing. I do, however, like the slim tube and smooth formula.

My favorite thing about this lip gloss is the color. It's a coppery gold that looks glittery in the bottle and extra shiny on lips. Even though some of the glitter particles are purple, orange, and green, it doesn't show up like that when you wear it, and there's no grittiness. I love the small bottle, sponge applicator, and no-budge formula. I don't love how quickly this gloss wears off.

During these difficult economic times, this product is an excellent compromise between pricey salon color and lackluster boxed hair dyes. Fekkai's hair color requires more time and money than traditional drugstore colors, but it's worth it. I dyed my brown hair darker brown and loved the dripless formula, the lack of a strong chemical smell, and that my hair came out super shiny and matched the color on the box. Best off all, there wasn't any reddish tone, a problem I've repeatedly encountered in traditional boxed dyes. I wish I could find it in stores so I didn't have to pay for shipping.

This cream feels divine and handles every complaint I have about my facial skin. My skin is weird: my nose is oily and blackhead-prone but is constantly flaking, and the rest of my skin gets dull, dry, and itchy. My cheeks and nose are always red. This cream has evened out my complexion, de-flaked my nose, and stayed out of my pores. My whole complexion looks brighter and my skin feels comfortable--even in dry, cold weather. The texture is rich and creamy, but it absorbs as quickly as a serum. And although it contains SPF, it doesn't have that sunscreen smell. In fact, it smells very light and very pleasant. You have to at least swing by the Laura Mercier counter and sample this stuff--it's terrific.

The package promises a lot, but I revere this stuff as a basic night cream that moisturizes without clogging my pores. Since I've started using this product, I don't wake up to dull skin and an itchy face. Unlike a lot of "natural" skin care companies, Boscia's products actually have decent ratings on Skin Deep, a web site that rates cosmetics' toxicity. I just wish it was powerful enough to eradicate the nasty flakes that accumulate on and around my nose while I sleep.

I did a double-take when I saw this in Sephora. My fine, dry hair just happens to be in constant need of both moisture and volume, but this seemed to good to be true, so I bought the little travel size after I was assured I could return it if it sucked. It didn't! After one use my hair was the glossiest it's ever been and it held its style all day without going limp. It obviated the need for the hairspray, shine spray, and volumizer I usually use when styling. Although the scent doesn't linger, it smells floral-sweet, not musky like many other Ojon products. Needless to say, I will be purchasing the full size.

DuWop claims that this product is "revolutionary." Hardly. I've been running my hands through my hair after moisturizing them for years. I have very fine hair, but any type of cream or lotion I use on my hands can be run through my hair to tame frizzies and enhance separation. They want 17 bucks for this and expect me to add yet another beauty item to my purse? Puh-leeze.

I have been buying this facial lotion for years. Every once in a while I try something new, but I always come back to this. It has everything I want in a moisturizer: is cheap, contains, SPF, doesn't smell, is light, absorbs quickly, doesn't clog my pores or otherwise aggravate my skin, is non-greasy, and leaves my skin looking slightly dewy, but not shiny. I was in Target one day and a woman asked me what moisturizer I used because my skin looked so good! One caveat: it's not powerful enough to moisturize during the winter.

I bought this product because of its packaging. The slim pen and brush-on formula make this the most convenient cuticle oil on the market. At first I thought that the oil was nothing special. It moisturized well, but the results didn't last. My cuticles and nailbed would always dry out again. But! My nails have grown more than ever since I started using this pen. I apply the oil roughly three times a day, and noticed results in a few weeks. When my dog chewed up my pen, I immediately rushed out to buy another one.

A couple of years ago I read that chamomile fades redness, so I started laying used tea bags on my always-splotchy nose and rosy (in a bad way) cheeks. Needles to say, that got annoying and I gave it up. So I was thrilled to hear of this product, which contains chamomile to reduce redness. I've been using it in conjunction with Eurcerin's redness relief daily lotion, and the redness on my cheeks has totally gone and the redness on my nose has faded. It feels a bit greasy and I suspect that it's clogging the pores on my nose, so it may not be the best choice for those with oily skin unless you find that wearing a salicylic acid treatment under it works for you as it has for me. Alas, the deal-breaker for this otherwise-great product is the smell. I started to dread putting it on because it was so awful, and I eventually threw it away, hoping that I can find a night cream that's just as good and much less smelly.
