I have this in Peony which is a nice rosey/mauve color.
I find these blend nicely into the skin and you can definitely sheer them out or build them up quite easily. They don't feel sticky at all and they last quite nicely although I do layer a blush or setting powder over it when I wear cream blushes.
I'm not a huge fan of this on the lips, I find it quite drying and just don't prefer to use it on the lips.

I have this in Shimpagne and Stereo Rose.
I use Stereo Rose as more of a blush and it's a beautiful coral color with a nice pink sheen. Shimpagne I use as a highlight, it's a light gold shimmer, it's got some pretty chunky glitter which I'm not a fan of but I find tapping my brush most of it falls off.
I find these pretty pricey but you do get a larger pan and it's hard to resist the beautiful swirls in mineralized products. The downside I found is that these can accentuate pores due to the sheen and they don't last as long on me then a normal powder plus. The upside is that MSFs are pretty versatile many can be used as eyeshadows too.

I have this lip gloss in plum and wow is it pigmented! It's also very moisturizing which is a big bonus. It's not sticky at all but I found lasted in my lips decently (although I have a dark color). I didn't find it had much of a strong smell to it which was also nice. The applicator is the standard doe foot. -

The gloss itself is pretty good not too sticky, nice and gloss, good pigmentation. The real downfall of this product is the packaging. The long skinny tube make it awkward to squeeze product out the top, you kind of have to squeeze from the bottom almost like when you're running out of toothpaste. Also this thing leaks! I don't know from which end but I was storing it on it's side and noticed it kept getting sticky with gloss. The smell is also pretty meh very sweet but it doesn't linger much. -

I got a small tube of this in a set and I was surprised at how much I liked it. It isn't sticky at all but I found it pretty long wearing. The color pigmentation is light so it tints your lips. I found it very moisturizing which is a major bonus. I will definitely look into buying a full size when my small tube runs out. -

Great drugstore gloss.The pigmentation of these glosses is nice and I don't find it that sticky. I don't find them drying but they also aren't moisturizing. I have quite a few of these glosses in plenty of colors even the lightest color (peach petal) did lighten my lip color. The smell is a sweet kind of caramel smell which is meh but I didn't find the smell lingered which was good. -

I thought the applicator would make this a nice product to throw in your bag but I find the clicky twist up to be a bit finicky. I could never get it right in that I didn't click it enough or I clicked it too much. The texture of the gloss was okay I find it pretty sticky but the color was decently pigmented. For the price I wasn't really impressed, I was pretty disappointed that the applicator was so finicky. -

I got this for free with a mail in rebate program they did awhile back.
The only pro about this machine is in the kitchen when my hands are really messy I don't have to touch anything to get soap.
I think I got a defective machine because this thing dispenses 2-3 times every time I use it! I tried cleaning the sensor, I tried changing the battery, nothing worked. Due to it dispensing so much it wastes a lot of soap. Even if it did work properly I find it dispenses too much in one "pump" so I have to fill it often if I use it regularly. I originally had it in the bathroom but got tired of refilling it so often since it wasted so much soap so I moved it into the kitchen for when I need to wash my hands after touching raw meat. This is it's only redeeming factor.
In general I think it's pretty gimmicky, going to pick up one of those foaming pump hand soaps for my bathroom.

Totally a holy grail product.
I use this all over my body and have nothing but great results from it. Any cuts or burns I put this on daily and massage it in, this stuff is literally magic. I burned myself quite badly when I accidentally brushed against my pressure cooker and it left me with 1 inch mark on my arm. Usually burn scars stay dark on my skin for a long time before they lighten to fade away. I put vitamin e oil on it religiously twice a day and in two weeks I have barely noticeable scar left, it's like it skipped the dark pigmentation stage and went straight to the fading away stage. This is the same thing with any cuts, the scar was smooth to the touch within a week and it healed flat so when the scar does fade it will be unnoticeable
My nose as been chapped on my face from rubbing tissues on it all day (allergies) and I just rub in some vitamin e oil at night and it keeps from nose from being rubbed raw.
This is a very thick oil and it feels sticky but I prefer that because it doubles as a barrier for burns and cuts and keeps the area moist. Also I feel that it lasts longer, when I apply it in the morning and massage it a bit in the afternoon there is still a slight tackiness to the area which makes me feel like the area is still being treated by the vitamin e oil.
I love this stuff and because it's so thick you don't need a lot, just need to massage it to spread it around. There is no smell and the rollerball makes application really easy.bv.
