I like this a lot! When I use it consistently every night, my skin would be glowing the next morning. It helped to brighten my complexion, and dull the appearance of some acne scars. My skin felt more plump, too.
You're supposed to keep it out of sunlight, so that the sun doesn't expire the contents prematurely, and the dropper is a nice tool to not have to contaminate the contents with your fingers.
While expensive at $50, I've been using mine for nearly 4 months now. It's well worth a try.

I prefer the Nuxe lip moisturizing stick to this balm for several reasons:
- I broke the balm cap by dropping it, so now I can't keep it in my purse or pockets or else the cap comes off and things get into the container
- I prefer not having to contaminate my balm with my finger digging into it
- the formula itself doesn't compare to the stick version in terms of moisturizing or smoothness (the balm has exfoliates - if you like that, then great; if not, then you look like an idiot if you don't rub it in entirely)
-the stick is about half the price of the balm

For the quality of ingredients, this is well worth the price, but I consider it expensive at $10.
I have super dry skin, and my lips used to crack at the corners as a kid. occasionally, with allergies and seasonal changes, my lips flake around the edges and get intolerably stiff and dry, but this lip balm is amazing for me.
The second ingredient listed is shea butter, which makes my skin very happy. Also, the brand complies with European standards for testing and doesn't test on animals.
All in all, I'm beyond satisfied of this product, and will continue buying it as it's the only thing that works for my super dry lips (I also use it around my eyes when the skin is really sensitive that even my eye creams sting).

For someone who doesn't break out often, with combination skin, this product really works to keep my break outs at bay. When I stop using it for a while, my break outs come back, but when I use it every night, my face stays completely clear. It hasn't helped much for the tiny whiteheads around my nose, but for the most part, my face stays clear. -
Sonia Kashuk Liquid Line Precision Marker

This is my favourite eyeliner ever! I've used lots of brands, from basic drugstore ones to Urban Decay or Benefit ones from Sephora, and this one lasts a long time (I use it every day and I've had it for 3 months). At under $10, the colour is solid, and I haven't had it smudge after it dries. It's also true to its name and is super precise with its fine, felt tip. -
NARS Blush & Bronzer Duo
I love the duo. The powder is compact and lasts a while, and the colour is nice, but I would have preferred if the blush wasn't so glittery. I've had compact powders that broke when I dropped it on the floor, but I've dropped this several times... +
I love the duo. The powder is compact and lasts a while, and the colour is nice, but I would have preferred if the blush wasn't so glittery.
I've had compact powders that broke when I dropped it on the floor, but I've dropped this several times without breaking the powder.
