This is probably the best toner I've tried by far. It does a great job of removing makeup residue after I'm finished cleansing my face, and I've noticed a tightening of my pores after long term use. I've been using this toner for at least a month now, and I've found that I haven't had breakouts lately since using this, which means it is effective in keeping my skin clean. It is also alcohol free, which is a plus! I've found using this toner allows for my moisturizer to absorb better, so I'm definitely noticing less patchiness and dryness in my skin. I've also noticed a reduction in redness in my skin, but I don't know whether that's due to the toner or not. Definitely a fantastic product! The only concern is that the toner does not come cheap, it actually is quite pricey...but during bonus times at The Bay, Sears or what not, you usually get a whole gift bag of great makeup products to try out for purchasing a product! I'd recommend you get this, if you choose to, during those special events. Definitely worth it! -

Ehh, this is probably the worst mascara I've tried. I didn't want to write a bad review, as I really wanted to like this product, but it really wasn't a good mascara. I used the turquoise tube waterproof version, not the purple original one, so there may be differences in the product, but I wasn't impressed with this one. I have short straight lashes, so I always need to curl them. After curling my eyelashes and applying the mascara...and only 1 coat, the curl in my lashes automatically went away. After 2 coats, there was a little lengthening and some volume...but overall, I wasn't impressed as the curl automatically disappeared, and the mascara IS called "sexy CURVES full volume and CURVE". However, I got this mascara on sale for $2.5 I believe, so I guess it was worth the try for a mascara. This might work better on someone who has naturally curly and longer lashes. On the positive note, the formulation was quite black and it did add some volume to my lashes. -

This was a pretty good liner at a drugstore price! I only have one, in the colour Green Shimmer. I like the colour for lining my lower lash line for a pop of colour when I do a neutral eye. It went on smoothly without tugging, and lasted about 5 or 6 hours. It wasn't the best eyeliner I've tried, but it was a good drugstore product at an affordable price. -

As the name of the product states, it is a lip treatment, but it also functions as a lip gloss. The price isn't drugstore affordable, but it's not high end expensive, just an average price. The colour applies quite sheer, but there is a hint of colour. It is very shiny, and a very thick gloss but I find that it is too sticky. After the gloss wore off, I didn't find that my lips were moisturized or any better than they were before. This was okay as a gloss, and didn't treat my lips afterwards, but it was moisturizing while it was on, despite being too sticky. -

I absolutely love Lancome lipsticks! As the previous reviewer mentioned, these products aren't exactly cheap by any means...in fact I find the price to be quite high for just a lipstick. However, these lipsticks apply smoothly and aren't at all drying, and have quite good lasting power. I had my lipstick last all morning until I ate my lunch! I didn't apply a balm, and didn't have problems with flaky or dry lips after the lipstick wore off. -

This is definitely one of the better moisturizers i have tried! It smells clean and fresh, like the rest of Garnier's products. It absorbs really quickly, so I don't have to wait to apply my makeup. It definitely does a good job of keeping my skin hydrated, and isn't greasy at all. It goes on really smoothly as well, not like those thick creams that make you tug at your skin (and don't moisturize as well as this one either!)
So far, I've definitely noticed a slight brightening effect to my skin as well! Overall a great product, and it's a good price as well!

When I first purchased this product, I was unsure of what to expect as I have not used any Garnier skincare product in the past. When I first used this, I found it hard to squeeze the bottle to get the product out, but maybe that's just me. In fact, in trying to get the gel product out of the bottle, I have permanently dented it, and it no longer goes back to its original shape. I have sensitive skin, not too sensitive, but some exfoliating scrubs or exfoliating skin products have irritated my skin, but he bristles aren't too harsh. After several uses, I found that my skin is softer than previously, and also a slight brightening effect as well. It also helped in lightening my acne scars from the past. The cleanser doesn't completely remove my makeup, but it's still a really nice product. It also has a very nice scent (not too strong), similar to the scent in Garnier shampoos. Overall, I quite like this product, even though it's quite cumbersome to use in the beginning, I'm definitely liking the results it gives! It doesn't dry out my skin like other cleansers do. -

I love honey in my lemon water, but even better on my face. I use honey as a mask, especially during the winter time. I leave it on my face for about 15 minutes, then rinse off with warm water. It helps keep my face moisturized and soft, which is good in the cold winters. I also mix a bit of honey (just estimate) with some brown sugar, and use it on my lips as a lip scrub. It helps exfoliate all the dead skin cells away on my lips, and leave my lips soft and smooth, which helps my lip products (lipstick) go on better. : ) -

I have to say this stuff is amazing...but is WAY too expensive. It definitely removes my waterproof mascara very easily, without needing to rub or tug on my eye. It completely removes all my eye makeup, and does not make my eyes turn red like some makeup removers do. However, this can be easily duped with the LOreal eye makeup remover that also comes in the 2 layers, for about a third of the price. This is still a great product, I am just not willing to pay this much after using the Loreal one which is just as good. -

This is the only facial cleanser Ive been using for a few years now. It costs about $10 dollars when on sale, and lasts forever and ever. I use the blue one for blemish prone skin, and it doesnt contain alcohol. It does have a slight fragrance, but it doesnt bug me at all. This is very good for my acne prone sensitive skin, and doesnt make my face red or break me out like other products do. It also leaves my skin very soft after using it. It doesnt take off any makeup I have on if I happen to be using it, but I can always use a separate makeup remover for that. -
