picked this up on clearance, just because it looked interesting and I've never tried anything from the Garnier skin care line.
I like it because you can twist open the bottle, squeeze a small amount of scrub onto the brush, then twist it close again, so you don't have too little or too much scrub on your face. It's not super harsh on my sensitive skin, the brush is I think silicone, but its flexible, and doesn't dig into my face or hurt. The microscrub smells great, and doesn't leave my face raw and red. It's a little drying, but I have dry skin to begin with, so I just make sure to moisturize afterwards!
I haven't emptied it yet, but I'm hoping there's a way I can refill it, or fill it with a different scrub when it's gone. That'd be cool!

So I finally bought this after much thought and to-ing and fro-ing. Being a NC 42 in MAC, high street foundations are never dark enough for my skin tone. I must say the colour range on the True Match is extensive. I bought two shades, W7 and W6 after swatching shade after shade, these were the closest to my skin tone. I have been using the W7 for the past three days now. Initially when I put this on in the mornings I find that it gives me a slightly grey cast, but it settles after about an hour and looks very good for colour match. As I have oily skin, the oils do start to show after about 5-6 hours of wear which I deem very good for a high street brand. It feels light on the skin and comfortable to wear. Blends well enough, I have used a beauty blender and stippling brush, I prefer brush application for this foundation as it needs to be buffed into my skin to make it look more natural, I found with the beauty blender it was very obvious I was wearing foundation. I can use the W6 shade during the colder months when I lose some colour from the summer. In the UK the bottle comes with a pump and a cap. Cost £10 per bottle. I need about (less than) 1 pump for each application, I usually put only one layer on. Overall a good product for the price. -

This is one of the only bronzers I've tried, but I really enjoy using this. It is very pigmented, so its easy to over do it. It's not dry, it blends in velvety smooth into foundation or bare skin. It does have shimmer, but it's not obnoxious by any means. The writing on the top of the container rubber off within a month of purchase, and I wish the packaging wasn't so bulky, but otherwise I love it! -

The product is good, but not for me. What I loved about this lotion was how it melts into a watery consistency and moisturized well. Even in Texas it did not FEEL particularly heavy. The smell was pleasant, but went away quickly.I never felt sticky after application and the dispensing of the product was great (price was right, too). All and all I would have considered this an HG product...
Until it broke my body out. I'm not sure if my skin (aside from my face) is sensitive to cocoa butter/fragrances (as I've had this problem with Palmer's as well, or if cocoa butter is too thick for the climate I live in), but it is enough of a problem for me so that I have to discontinue use. If you do not have skin allergies/sensitive skin/or you live in a dry environment I would certainly recommend this product. Otherwise I would stay away from it.

This is brilliant, I haven't returned to using liquid eyeliner since getting this as a present. It is easier to apply than liquid and the buildable colour means it's more day-friendly than liquid as well. It also feels comfortable on my eyes and the consistency I find is really good. I had a Calvin Klein liquid liner before and I had to paint it on for ages to get an even colour. I love this -

he bottle is different now, it's a skinner, taller bottle I don't know if they changed the formula or what because I never used this back when it was in the other bottle. Anyway, this retails for about $3. For that price I was not expecting anything from it, but I bought it because I had a 50 cents off coupon to boot. When I applied it for the first time. I was really surprised that, I liked it as much as I did. I had been going on about Rimmel Clean Finish foundation but I like this so much better than that. The consistency is very similar to it too another product similar to it is Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse. That being said, it is a mousse/whipped type of consistency. It's very thick in the bottle but it glides on and I found that it doesn't cake on me. The coverage is light-medium. If I have active blemishes then I need some concealer. Other than that it evens out my skin tone in such a lovely way. I always tend to have a little bit of redness on my cheeks and i'm just very happy how this helps my face look uniform. I have dry skin, so staying power is not much of an issue for me...but if I sweat, it kind of starts to melt away. I did find that this oxidizes a bit and the color selection (at least where i've seen, is poor.) So be careful is your color is too dark from the start, because it will get worse. The biggest pain and why I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is the packaging. The bottle is very nice but the product doesn't budge. It's so thick it goes nowhere. I have dropped this several times by accident and not even a hard thud on my floor makes the foundation move. I don't understand why this can't be in a squeeze tube at least. I have to use a Q-tip to scoop out the product and that is very annoying to me. Bottom line is that I would repurchase. I just can't believe that three dollars would make my face look so nice. -

I absolutely love this! When I heard about the rumour about mineral oils that can be found in cosmetics I began to search for a lipbalm that hadn't any in it. Thank god I did!
I've used A LOT of lipbalms over the years and this is handsdown my favourite. I also repurchased it a couple of times already. It does a lot for my lips and if applied 3x a day it makes my lips smooth and soft. I don't really care about the peppermintscent and the taste, but I like the little tingling it gives. I also use it over my lipstick if it starts to become really dry and it doesn't bother me for the rest of the day. The fact that burt's bees doesn't test on animals and that the ingedrients are mostly natural is a big plus as well.
The only cons I can think of is the packaging and the consistency. The first few times you open it it's almost impossible to get it done, but my solution for it to just apply a little layer of balm on the sides of the little tin and it won't be a problem anymore. Like some here say the consistency is really hard at first, but it becomes better after an amount of time. Nonetheless, I think the pros outweight the cons and I would definitly repurchase this if I would ran out again.

I really like this scrub and I feel like it really does remove all the dead skin from my face however using it as often as I do (3-4 times a week) sometimes i do get small spots mostly around my forehead or eyebrows but I feel like my skin needs it that often. I've started mixing this with a pump of my soap and glory cleanser and I find it makes it that little bit gentler on my skin. It has a pleasant smell and doesn't leave my skin feeling tight. I don't have sensitive skin at all so I think that's why I'm able to use it so often without much irritation but I think if you've got sensitive skin then maybe just use this once a week since the particles are quite rough then you should be able to judge how often to use this by how your skin reacts. I will be repurchasing this product! -
Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara
I like to enjoy the days when I was down the streets of Seattle and have those who come close enough to me admire my blue eyelashes. I just love the royal blue option. Although I rarely go out, I usually go out in style.

Not only did my teeth feel really clean, I found it easy to rinse my mouth with just a swish of water. As for the whitening effects: yes, I could already (after the one brushing) tell that my morning coffee stains were gone. My breath felt clean - no overpowering lingering of the mint-flavor from the paste - which I really like. (I hate any kind of lingering flavors in toothpastes!) -
