This was my first Benefit purchase. I happened to walk by the Benefit counter at my local Macy's and one of the consultants asked me if I wanted to try it. He used it on my eyelids which have a strange pigmentation. I decided to purchase it when I saw how it completely neutralized that pigmentation and discoloration. It left a blank canvas for eyeshadow. I was really impressed. However, you do have to practice a little when it comes to application. It is not creamy and you have to blend it very well or it will end up looking cakey or creasing. I first purchased it around 10 years ago and I still use it today. -

I wasn't really looking for another lip balm but I had a great coupon for this one so I decided to give it a try. I usually don't like scents and flavors that are too sweet but I thought this one would be more like a citrus flavor/scent. Well, it wasn't really. But I still like it a lot. It is fruity but not overwhelmingly fruity or sweet. It's also leaves a very refreshing sensation on my lips when I apply it. It feels very moist when you press your lips together. It's quite nice. It also has no color. I use alternate it with the eos Cool Mint sphere. Usually right before bed and my lips are nice and moisturized in the morning. -

I have to admit that I first purchased this lip balm because of its cute packaging. Yup. I'm a marketing specialist's and packaging designer's dream. I fall for cute packaging every time. Anyway. I first purchased the dragon fruit flavor. Yuck. Didn't suit me. Too fruity. Too sweet. Then I saw the beautiful aqua color of the Cool Mint one and I fell again. This time I actually really like the flavor and scent. It's quite minty but I like strong mint scents and flavors. It's also a very relaxing scent, if you are into aromatherapy concepts. I also like that it is very moisturizing. I usually apply it right before going to bed and my lips are nicely moisturized and hydrated in the morning. -

I looooove this razor. I really like all of the available refill scents/formulas burt particularly, the cucumber melon. I actually alternate with the Schick Intuition Hydro razor which is also amazing. What they both have in common is that you don't need to use any shaving cream, gel or soap along with it. This one has a very strange but effective design. It's actually hollow and water gets inside and when you turn it around to shave, the water wets your skin and moistens the soapy part of the refill, which makes a light lather and slippery surface so it slides comfortably. It's like a multitasking razor! It wets your skin and puts the soap on your skin and shaves all at the same time! I really like it! -

I didn't purchase this concealer to hide any tattoos but I found it to be one of the best concealers for my face. It really covers up very well. I use it for the occasional post-pimple-disaster dark mark.The texture is a little thicker than your regular concealers but it blends well. You DO have to blend correctly though. If you don't, it will look cakey and it can crease into fine lines. If you use a blending sponge, it should be ok. That said, I think the $25 price is a little steep but I haven't found any other concealers that cover as much as this one so I decided to splurge. It does last a looong time. -

Ok. This razor is one of those things that make you go "someone FINALLY invented this!!!". I mean, the whole mess with the shaving cream or the soap and the razor... it was just too much... really... maybe I'm just lazy but I hated the hassle. I actually got this for a very descent price since I had a high value coupon. I love that I just need to put it under the water for a second and once it is wet, it will slide perfectly without any shaving cream or gel. It's also very moisturizing! The pivoting head is also a plus. I don't think I've cut myself ever since using this razor. I really love it. -

I took a while before writing this review because I wanted to really experience the effects of the Luna mini before doing so. I should start by explaining why I'm so psyched about this little thing most than anything. About a year ago, and after a rosacea breakout, I purchased a sonic facial cleansing brush from a very well known brand because I was told it could help my condition. I considered it to be quite expensive, if you take into consideration that the brush heads needed to be replaced quite often. Turns out I had to return the thing because it really hurt my face! My rosacea exacerbated and it was not pretty. After that experience, I thought that I'd just stick to my usual cleanser and my hands. At first, I thought I'd give the LUNA Mini a try but I was very skeptical after my initial experience with sonic devices. Well, I have to say that this little thing has been a miracle for my face. Not only does it feel nice, soft and clean, but my rosacea has been under control the whole time I have been using it! I recommend it to anyone with very sensitive skin or rosacea. People keep telling me how much better the condition of my skin is! It really is amazing.
Also, I absolutely LOVE that it is rechargeable and completely waterproof! It holds charge for so long, it's ridiculous! :-)
It's also really cute and comes in many nice colors! Mine is turquoise!

Ok. Simply put, I just can't live without this product. I like nice scents but at the same time, I am extremely allergic to strong ones. I had to stop using my previous go-to multi purpose cleaner because of the strong chemical smell mixed with a flowery scent. From a certain point on, it started giving me instant allergies and headaches. I thought I could only trust that particular brand but I was forced to change. While searching for an alternative, I found the Method brand and decided to do a little research about their products. I liked their brand philosophy and how much they care about creating healthy products. So I decided to give Method a try. I have to say, I absolutely love most of their products. This particular one, the All Purpose Surface Cleaner, has a light lavender scent that fades away in a couple of minutes and when it comes to wiping away greasy kitchen surfaces, it works even better than my previous cleaner. I actually freak out if I go to the store and they don't have it! I buy 3 at a time so I never run out. I think I will use this cleaner forever. The Pink Grapefruit scent is also very nice but my favorite is the Lavender. -

I was looking for a leave in conditioner that was effective but light enough not to make my hair sticky. Oh my God. Wrong selection. You would expect this product to be lightweight since it is like a foam but it made my hair so sticky and not shiny at all. The first time I used it I actually thought maybe I had put on too much. The second time I used just a small amount but the results were the same. In conclusion, if you have thin straight hair and are looking for a light leave in conditioner, skip this one. -

I have tried so many of these towelettes I lost count. Every time I have been either disappointed or not completely satisfied. Sometimes it's the scent, sometimes they just leave my face sticky. I had a $2 coupon for a Burt's Bees face product and decided to try these. I got the ones for sensitive skin because I didn't want any strong fragrances or harsh textures. I have to say these towelettes are great. They are now a staple in my skincare drawer. They do have a very light scent but it's actually nice and it doesn't stay once you wipe your face. They are also very refreshing! They feel cool against the skin. Very nice feeling. They leave my face feeling clean and fresh. Of course this will not substitute proper facial cleansing but it is a great product to refresh your face after a workout or take off your makeup when you get home and can't wash your face right away. -
