I love this. It makes my face feel like satin whenever I put it on, and it makes my foundation pop and apply evenly. I love putting it on after a generous dose of Studio Moisture Fix Moisturizer. Make sure to use a foundation brush to apply it, as you will save more product (it is pricey), and your foundation will apply more evenly. Love this. -

I received a four-day sample pack after parting ways with a small fortune at my university's Clinique counter. Being a drugstore product diva (Cetaphil's cleanser and moisturizer suit my needs just fine) I waited a couple weeks before using it. I finally tried it out this evening, and I can't say that I'm particularly impressed with this system. The cleanser is mild, but foamy, which I like because it reminds me of my Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, save for the foaming action. I felt it cleaned my face well enough. The clarifying lotion was next, and I used what the SA gave me (Type 2) based on my skin type. The moisturizer is too heavy for the face. I like the system in general, so I'm willing to give it a chance. -

It's okay as far as lip glosses go. I can wear it alone or blend it with something, which is what I do most. The size is nice, and it had better be for nearly 14 dollars. It's a little too sheer, the tube is definitely misleading. I have a bit of pigment in my lips and I need something that will cover that, not enhance it. I enjoy the color it gives with pink lipsticks. It looks okayish with a lipstick I received as a GWP, and exactly a gloss I have from Avon when I blend it with my Different Lipstick in A Different Grape. I have a .99 cent lip juicer in the same damn shade, and I get better color payoff from it than I do with this. I like how this gloss glides on, but that alone is not enough for to continue using it. The packaging is probably the best I've seen in a long time. I like the line, just not this shade. If it wasn't for the texture, lasting power, and blendability, I wouldn't waste anymore money on it. -
Benefit Cosmetics BADgal Lash Mascara
Absolutely hate this. The wand was big, but I'm already pretty good with handling brushes and wands. The product itself was drying, clumpy, and ended up all over my face within three hours' time. Definitely not worth the $18. Don't buy... +

Love love love this lip gloss. Either alone or over a pink or brown lipstick. It's sticky, but I like that, for some reason. When the windy season rolls around, however, I might not like it as much. It's very sheer when I wear it alone, having only the faintest hint of color (I have it in Blackberry Bloom). Very good for a natural/Plain Jane with a sparkle kind of look. However, when I pair it with a lipstick, it's absolutely amazing. I'm actually wearing it right now with the Bamboo lipstick I got in a GWP from Clinique, and together they make the best natural/pink lip color for my skin tone. Stays on for a long time, even with my constant lip-pressing. Will definitely purchase again. It is expensive ($18.50), however, and it does not plump at all. Too Face's Lip Injection is much better for that. Otherwise, it's perfect. -

I am in love with this product. It does exactly what it says it will. It's not harsh, it cleanses and rinses well, and it just works well in general. I really have to take issue with some of the complaints here. As for the the film it leaves behind, it states on the bottle that it will leave thin film behind to help seal moisture into your skin...it's not an unexpected or unpleasant surprise, if you just read the back label. Also, this cleanser is not intended to remove makeup, it's just meant to cleanse your skin and keep it healthy and good-looking. It doesn't have the "extra stuff" that heavier, more irritating cleansers have, which is the point. You need a makeup remover to effectively remove your makeup, or a heavier cleanser with different properties. I suggest either Pond's Clean Sweep (love it!), or something by Olay, Aveeno, or Dove. I'm not crazy about the price, even though it is a good cleanser, and I wish it came in a pump design to make it more "user-friendly". Despite that, I love it. And lastly, if you have oily skin, this not the product for you. It is intended for people with dry/normal and dry/sensitive skin ONLY. Most of the negative reviews for this cleanser are from people with combination & oily skin. Cetaphil makes a cleanser for you people: Daily Facial Cleanser For Normal to Oily Skin. -
