I love this product and find that it's one of my "must-haves"!
This primer doesn't change the colour of my eyeliner or eyeshadow at all and it really make my makeup last all day and didn't come off until removed with eye makeup remover. The built-in sponge-tip applicator makes it easy to apply.
My only complaint - because of the shape of the bottle, there's A LOT of product left inside even after the little wand doesn't seem to be pulling any more out.
TIP: (This is going to sound drastic, but you'll be amazed at the results) - When you think the product is finished because the little wand is coming out empty, take a sharp knife and cut the the container in half. You'll find there's a huge amount of product left over. Just scoop it out and put it all in a little jar so you can keep on using it!

A few months ago I got the Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion. It was my first use of an Aveeno product and I was very, very happy with the results. My only complaint about the Daily Moisturizing Lotion was that although it moisturized my skin better than any other lotion I've tried, it wasn't "silky smooth".
So I was excited to try the Aveeno Creamy Moisturizing Oil when I read about it on the Aveeno site since it promises to "moisturize all day long to leave skin feeling soft and silky, without the greasy feel of body oil." I went out and bought it the next day.
This light, creamy formula is super-hydrating and the moisturization lasts a long time. It absorbs quickly, without any greasy residue and this this "oil" (it's really a cream) leaves my skin silky-soft - it's amazing!
The only complaints I have are that it's fragranced - i don't mind the smell (a light, almond scent), but I would much prefer it to be unscented
I use this cream after my shower every day now and love the feeling of my skin - it's well-hydrated and actually "silky-soft". Also, the pump is super-convenient. This product would have gotten a perfect score if it was fragrance-free. This is the only body lotion I use now and I'm super-happy with the results!

I love this facial moisturizer and it's a daily MUST for my beauty routine. I love that it's fragrance-free, absorbs quickly and completely and includes sunscreen to protect my skin. Makeup glides on easily after this moisturizer is given a few minutes to be absorbed.
The only thing that I must warn readers about is this (and it might not happen to everyone) but my sister and I both experienced this - if you get this product into your eyes, it STINGS and didn't stop burning until I washed my eyes out. So I usually use a daily eyecream around my eye area and then the Neutrogena moisturizer everywhere else, carefully avoiding the eye area.
Besides the eye-sensitivity warning, I still love this facial moisturizer over others I've tried. And the price is worth it - depending on where you buy it and if it's on sale, you can get this for as low as $9 and 2 pumps is more than enough (I usually do 1 and 1/2) to cover face and neck so this lasts quite a long time, even if used daily.

I've already bought 3 of these lipsticks - in 'Bare', 'Guilty' and 'Bite" and it has become my standard day lipstick currently. Rimmel advertises that this lipstick has a sweet smell and it actually has the most wonderful strawberry smell and a sweet taste (although that makes it hard to stop licking my lips!). The product is light and smooth and glides onto the lips extremely easily with good colour and high shine. The sleek black lipstick tube with cool silver logo is very cool looking.
The only warning I have is that this lipstick, because of its slickness does not have very goot lasting power and comes off quite easily. I also find I lick my lips more often when wearing this lipstick because of its sweet taste so that doesn't help make the lipstick last.
Currently I've only been able to find this product in one PharmaPlus by my work, so haven't been able to price shop. I'm hoping to find it in other locations/stores soon.
