I've been on the hunt for the perfect serum, as I've gotten into skincare this year. I decided to give this one a shot. After cleansing and toning with all my usual products, which have helped my skin. In the evening, I applied two pumps of this to face and neck. It was lightweight, had a strong scent of herbs? No issues in application lightweight, not sticky, glad it had no perfume-y fragrances added. However I woke up the next morning with a face full of whiteheads that sprung up over night (about 6-7), on my chin, upper lip, check and forehead. in the morning I had forgotten I used the new product since I was so tired that night.... So I used it again a few days later. Same thing happened! A lightbulb went off. More whiteheads appeared. BareMinerals serum foundation was a bust for me as well, maybe their line isn't for my skin, I'm very disappointed. -

I picked this up when I purchased a certain popular sonic face cleansing tool. I used the cleanser and tool together, after cleansing I felt a thick residue on my skin even after thorough rinsing. Then I started experiencing tons of deep breakouts. I immediately stopped both. When things started to improve I used the cleanser on its own, the breakouts got worse again. So I tucked it at the back of my medicine cabinet and forgot about it. Recently my skin has been great, minimal monthly breakouts. I decided to give this another shot when I ran out of my newer cleanser...big mistake! More giant deep breakouts appeared along my jaw... I've seen so many people who love this product, unfortunately I am not one of them. What a waste of product and money. -

This balm works very well at softening lips and actually is also plumping. It's a little pricey at $35 cdn. But it does what it says it will do. It's thick and smooth in consistency, It's a little minty and has a soft pink color. I exfoliate my lips with the end of my washing routine, with my toothbrush/damp towel. So that the balm gets right to the skin and I get all the benefits. My lips are so much smoother and there are less fine lines. Love that it contains hyaluronic spheres for plumping and mango butter for softening. But it's not super hydrating. But that's ok I use a different lip balm inbetween uses. I apply especially before bed. It comes in a pot and you have to dip your finger in, it feels like you aren't picking up much product but it's enough. Over all it does help to give you more youthful lips. Will repurchase when I'm out. -

I liked the scent of this body wash, it was thick and creamy... But after I got out of the shower I felt a residue on my skin and I didn't feel clean. I bought a few others because I liked the scent and the deodorants. But the body wash was a no, for me. -
Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20

This moisturizer is very thick and creamy, but once you pat it into the skin it sinks in and dries down. It doesn't feel sticky or heavy on the skin. I bought it for the SPF. I like it. I haven't noticed a real change. It is a good as a moisturizer and sun block. I need to use it longer to see more possible results. -

This plumper actually works! I've found it to be most effective after exfoliating my lips. I read that it has Hyaluronic spheres, which draw in moisture to fill in lips!! Hyaluronic acid is what we naturally have in our bodies but as we age, it breaks down faster and that's when signs of aging set in. Skin loses moisture and firmness. It You can use this as a lip gloss or over lipstick. But to me it's a waste unless it's on bare lips. I use it before bed, and as a lip prep while I do makeup. This WILL give you fuller smoother lips. Use it consistently. The scent is soft and minty. It feels a little tingly, like other hyaluronic products Ive used. Love the soft Pink color and the shine it provides. And it's not too sticky! But it is thick. I bought this Many years ago when I was much younger and thought it was just a tingly lipgloss and never used it again, then I seen it pop up in media again and thought I'd give it another shot. I'm glad I did! I'll always have a tube of this around. -

Sephora sent this to me when I reached VIB Rouge status. It's such a beautiful color, it adds the perfect natural looking flush to my cheeks. The product is up to par with the quality we've come to know and expect from Nars. It's definitely going to be a staple on my vanity. -

I got this mask as a Sephora perk, I loved using it after cleansing. It is a thin gel consistency that contains actual rose petals. It smells good. Feels cool and refreshing on the skin. After rinsing off my skin felt more supple and smooth. I liked that bit of pampering added to my normal routine. -

This really does firm the skin. I use it everywhere from the neck down, it is also moisturizing. The scent on initial application is very strong, sort of reminds me of what my grandmother would wear. But the fragrance doesn't stay very strong throughout the day. I targeted the areas that have been issues, after dropping quite a bit of weight very quickly (like my under arms). The firming effects don't last more than a day and a half. But it is a very noticeable difference. I noticed it most in my chest. I was very happy with it. So I don't know if it would firm these areas permanently in the longterm, but I will repurchase when I run out. -

I've tried a few lip scrubs. Nothing exfoliates like this one! It beat my other much more expensive lip scrub by miles. Plus when you're done, you can lick it off! And it tastes soo good. I ran out ;( and I'm back to trying to make my more expensive one work. But my lips just aren't as soft and smooth as they were with this Lush product. Think I'll reorder tonight. -
