I first discovered this product a few years ago when an amazing woman at The Bay introduced me to it. I was impressed right away with the variety of shades as I am very, very pale and a lot of powders and cover-ups on my end of the spectrum tend to give me a yellowish hue. She knew right away which one matched me and I was hooked. The price is a bit more expensive than your usual drugstore brands but I find the difference is worth it. Besides - I'm not sure how long you are supposed to keep it for - but with how often I use it, it seems to last forever. I usually replace it long before it's done. I find that the brush is great for getting control of that shine and a little bit evening out skin tone. But if you have something you want to hide, it works great when you use a sponge. It doesn't clump by the end of the day, and doesn't clump up in your pores (ew). The container even has a little mirror and the bottom part has air vents so the sponge doesn't get all icky after a few hot summer days. I would definitely recommend giving this a try - I guarantee you will be more interested in the other things Mac can do once you see the miracles this can perform. -

I have always had super-sensitive skin. Even the wrong laundry detergent can drive me insane with the itchiness it creates. Last summer I ended up in the drs office with a rash that I just couldn't handle all over my legs. Turns out my skin was dry. How that happens when you live next to the ocean, I'll never understand but I guess it happens. The doctor recommended slathering this stuff on when I get out of the shower - but before I towel off. It works! No more itchiness and definitely no more dryness! And I was surprised at how well it soaked in to my skin. No greasiness on my clothes and my skin has been baby soft since I started. Make it a quick part of your routine and you will notice the difference right away. -

I use this shampoo when I tire of the dull flatness that pharmacy brands can create over time. The cost is not so bad considering you really don't need to use that much to get the desired results. It works great for my hair - I have quite thick hair and my sister has thin hair, but both of us love how it doesn't weight it down. And no frizz! But the best part is the smell. I love starting off my day with that classic Aveda smell. Yum. -

Love my Wii. I picked mine up about 2 years ago and love that it keeps putting out new games. I have all the classic Mario games - Super Mario Bros and MarioKart as well as a few other fun ones. I like the interactive spin that Wii has on all the classic games. It's great for parties or when you're hanging out with a friend and run out of things to talk about. The online game feature provides some entertainment when you don't have a friend close by. The only drawback I can see with it is that the games can seem a bit childish in their graphics and when compared to a PS3 or XBox 360 with their super realistic graphics for first-person action games I do get a little jealous of the other systems. But all the same - the interactive and wifi factors are definitely worth it. And the price is great by comparison too! -

I love this product! I have used it for years and find it works best once a week to keep my skin looking fresh and exfoliated. Every few days if it's a particularly dry winter... It can be quite abrasive if you rub too hard or too often but it definitely does the job! I've even used it every so often on my arms and hands when I've been feeling extra flaky and it can be good to exfoliate a little before shaving to bring the hairs out (just not too much - you don't want to irritate the skin too much). I've even caught my bf using it every so often and it does wonders for his sun-damaged skin! The cost is definitely reasonable and you can find it at pretty much every store that sells face care products. One container lasts me for awhile. -
