I was so fortunate to get this $20 product during a half off promotion!
In the store, the pore protector claims to refine enlarged pores. I don't have excessively oily skin, but am susceptible to break outs from the wrong products. I've been using this product for 2months now and have not noticed the slightest improvement in the size or clarity of my pores.
The Body Shop website states that the pore protector will help with excess shine and congested pores. I have noticed that my face does not get as shiny as fast since using this, but I have not noticed any improvements in the congestion in the pores on my nose.
The serum smells great, and is long lasting; after 2 months the bottle is only half gone. It also didn't make me break out.
If you're looking for something to assist with shine but don't want to use powder or blotting tissues then maybe this is for you!!
If you're looking for something to unclog and refine your pores, take your $20 and buy something else... and if it works for you write a review and let me know :)

NoNo promises eventual elimination of, permanent reduction in, and immediate reduction in rate and thickness of hair growth. NoNo says that you should see an improvement in 2months. NoNo also promises that all this willl be entirely painless. This is supposed work by sending heat down the hair and destroying the root. After 5 months, I maybe see a slight slowing the rate of growth however I cannot detect any change in the amount of hair. Also, in the first 3 months I experienced a lot of irritation from the heat produced by NoNo. This was a really expensive failed attempt to eliminate unwanted hair. The entire purchase was a complete disappointment! Even the online purchasing!!! There was no chance to "confirm" my purchase, after I had selected one NoNo the following page asked if I wanted one for a reduced rate if I purchased the maintenance plan (new heating elements, lotion, buffers). Which I selected, it wasn't until the page to print off the receipt that I saw that I had already been billed for 2 NoNos. NoNo says that they offer a full money back guarantee. Well, when I called to attempt to cash this in I was told that I had to wait until the completion of 60 days for the full refund. 70 days later I was told that I am no longer eligible, that the full refund is only good on the 60th day. So, I'm left with 2 useless NoNo's and am about $400 poorer. The NoNo does not work at all around any sort of contour, like shins, knees, jaw, bikini line...
On the positive I will say that it is portable, reliable and the heating element has not worn out after 5months. They estimate 2 months use.

This is such a fresh,warm, sexy,scent. The mix of orange flowers, with sandalwood, jasmine, and honey is so unique and addictive. I can wear this for the better part of the year. I do find it a little too intense during the hottest summer days, but the scent doesn't change. With some perfumes, I find that they smell different on me depending on the season. Some I can only wear in the winter, and others the spring/ fall or summer, is that weird? The scent does fade by late afternoon, but lasts for an entire evening out. Finally, the bottle is gorgeous, and so classy looking, typical armani, and easy to hold and use. -

I love the Tea Tree Special shampoo and waited about two months for my old conditioner to run out so I could buy the tea tree special conditioner. It has a slightly lighter scent than the shampoo, but the same great invigorating blend of tea tree, peppermint, and lavender. It is a little less concentrated than the shampoo, which means that I use the same amount of conditioner as I do with other professional products. ( I use about 30% less of the tea tree shampoo than other professional shampoos). This product leaves my hair soft and shiny and is very lightweight. I do find that it is a little light for me, I need a little more moisture, but not much, and with the Moroccan oil I am perfectly happy. My hair is naturally curly/wavy, and not chemically treated. -

This shampoo was recommended to me by my stylist as I was suffering from some sort of scalp irritation. I wasn't able to see it but I noticed feeling itching and some flaking. I was skeptical as my hair is sort of curly/ wavy, and can get dry and frizzy if I don't use a shampoo specifically formulated for dry or curly hair. Within about two weeks of use my scalp improved. I was also surprised by how nice the shampoo smelled; it was such a fresh, invigorating mix of tea tree, peppermint and a little bit of lavender. Best of all my hair was soft, shiny, voluminous and had no residue. This product is really concentrated so it will last a long time too. I liked it so much I got the conditioner as well. -

This was my first smashbox mascara. I loved that it has conditioners to protect and repair my lashes. The formula felt nice going on and the results were natural looking and feeling, shiny lashes. I mean it, if you are looking for a mascara that doesn't look like a mascara this is the one for you. It was a little harder to apply than most mascaras, you need to wipe off some of the formula before applying to help avoid clumps. I found that it was very water resistant, it didn't move when I cried or in the rain, but if I swam or showered it would smudge big time. This mascara did not layer well and I wasn't able to increase the intensity for a bold evening eye. If I wanted to have two mascaras this would be my day time one. -

Smashbox mascaras are capable of great results, however due to their difficulty of use, tend to get bad reviews. This is much easier to use than lash DNA, but does not produce the same dramatic results. Hyperlash uses the new style plastic wand that was, I believe, introduced by Covergirl's Lashblast. This has eliminated some of the clumping issues and the comb that is on the wand gets the remainder. The results are lashes with great volume, and a natural shine. I find that because of the thinner wand, I am better able to reach my corner lashes and customize my mascara application. This mascara feels natural on and looks natural during the day but can be layered for evening wear. Hyperlash is slightly more water resistant than lash DNA but if you're a cryer, I wouldn't wear it to a sad movie, wedding or funeral. This is my favorite of the smashbox mascaras because of the versatility. Also, I love that all smashbox mascaras have conditioners to protect and repair my lashes. -

Lash DNA produces ultra long lashes, with natural shine and curl. All smashbox mascaras have conditioners to keep your lashes healthy and repair damage. This is a dramatic mascara, but can be toned down for day time use. However, as great as the results are, they are NOT easy to achieve. The box gives a little "how to" with photos and they can achieve look they claim but it takes work!!! Excess needs to be scraped of the wand and it is helpful to have a clean wand to remove excess. This mascara is prone to clumps if not careful and it is not at all waterproof. As the product gets older it seems to be easier to use. If you are willing to put time and effort in to beautiful long dramatic lashes then this may be the mascara for you. However, if you want a brush and go mascara keep looking. -

I have found this to be the most effective lip plumper. It has zero tingle and does make my lips fuller and smoother looking. It lasts longer than an average gloss, and has a great selection of shades for those of us who feel our natural lip colour needs a little boost. I have never used any of the more vibrant shades, nor have any of my friends, so I can' t comment on how intense the deeper colour appear on lips. The only complaint I have, and the reason this didn't become my number one go to gloss, is the price. -

I love this product, for months it was my ONLY lip product, and I was seriously bummed when I lost it and couldn't find it at my local Shopper's Drug Mart. It is a small tube so it is portable in even your skinniest of skinny jeans. Don' t be put off by the small size, like all smashbox products only a little bit gets the job done so it will last longer than most other glosses. The shine was really nice, not that thick, oily, looks like it's gonna drip down your chin shine of some glosses, and it lasted slightly longer (although I didn't time anything) than average. I didn't find that it was sticky feeling either. The colour was perfect; a nice flushed colour, just like it had intensified the natural colour of my lips. As for plumping, I found that it worked just as well as lip venom, but not as well as lip fusion. It has a delicious cinnamon flavour, and a little tingle. So, if you are sensitive to tingle be forewarned, otherwise try this lip gloss! -
