This sunscreen does exactly what it advertises. It is very gentle on my sensitive skin and it protects from the sun very well. I don't ever breakout so I can't attest to the "no breakouts" claim but it didn't cause any skin issues for me. I love that it is completely unscented and the small size tube is handy to toss in my bag. It was moisturizing enough for my dry skin.
On the negative side, the cream is very white and pasty and leaves a definite white cast on the skin, even after rubbing it in. I am super pale and it made me look even whiter! I also found it quite difficult to rub in. It left white marks along my hairline and I wouldn't want to apply it without a mirror handy. I found that it made my face super shiny although it didn't feel greasy. I definitely needed to use powder to tone down the disco-ball like sheen from my face!
I think that this would be a really great sunscreen for children and those with super sensitive skin that burns very easily. For myself I would not purchase this product as there are many other physical sunscreens out there with more elegant formulas.
I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review.

This serum comes in beautiful matte pink pump packaging that feels very substantial and looks expensive. The pump is easy to use and dispenses a reasonable amount with each pump. My skin is quite dry and drinks this serum in so I use three pumps at a time. The serum itself is creamy and has a pink iridescence to it. I think this is intended to enhance the skin's glow. It has a bit of a floral scent but it isn't too strong or offensive. The serum sinks right into my skin very quickly and I apply a moisturizer over the top. I've found that it adds an extra layer of moisture which my skin really needs. My skin is smoother and has a better tone, maybe even a "glow". The product does not irritate my sensitive skin at all.
I've tried a lot of different serums and this is one that I really like. I will continue to use it and will likely repurchase when I run out.

The first thing I noticed about this product is its beautiful matte pink packaging. It looks and feels expensive. The product is a pale pink gel-cream with a fairly inoffensive floral scent. I believe that this product is meant to be used as a sleeping mask and the last step in a skincare routine. When I used it alone I found that it wasn't quite hydrating enough for my dehydrated skin. I started to use a serum or facial oil underneath and had a much better experience. I could feel the product as a layer on my skin and my face was very shiny after application. I think it is best to use right before bed because other people would definitely know that you had a mask on.
I think it does a very good job of smoothing the skin and making me look more rested however the hydration was lacking. I would recommend this for someone without issues with skin dryness. It didn't irritate my very sensitive skin at all which is great! I don't think that I would repurchase it in the future as I would prefer a richer, more moisturizing product for night.

I have been using this product daily underneath my SPF and mineral powder makeup. It has a quite thin, creamy texture that is hydrating enough for me not to need any additional moisturizer. It absorbs quickly and forms a nice base for makeup. From the fist application I felt that my skin was plump and glowing. I've used it for almost two weeks now and I see a visible smoothness and radiance. My skin looks more youthful and even toned. It has faded my stubborn sunspot! It has yet to tackle the darkness around my mouth but I think that given more time the exfoliation will get rid of that too!
I have very sensitive skin and I have no burning, stinging or redness from this product. I also have not noticed the exfoliation to have caused me to be more sensitive and I haven't had any issues with being in the sun after using it. I think it is pretty amazing that such a serious exfoliator is so gentle! I highly recommend it, especially to those struggling with sunspots and sensitive skin.

I've been using this for two weeks now. The first night I wasn't clear on which step in my skincare routine it should replace, serum or moisturizer. I used it after my usual serum and found that the texture was more consistent with a serum than a moisturizer. It also wasn't very hydrating on its own. The second night I used it after toner and before moisturizer and was much happier with the feel of the product. Right from that morning I noticed a definite brightening in my skin tone and felt like my skin was plumper than before. I have continued to use it and am really impressed with the results! It makes my skin look and feel much younger and smoother. I have very sensitive skin and despite being an exfoliating product it doesn't sting or irritate at all. There aren't many resurfacing products I can use every night without irritation, none actually, so I am thrilled that this one is gentle enough even for me! The advertising for this product says that it takes up to four weeks for dark spots and hyperpigmentation to fade so I'll have to wait and report back on that aspect. As it stands now I am very happy with the brightening and smoothing results! -

I have very fine, wavy hair and this is without a doubt my favorite dry shampoo ever! It does such a great job making my second day hair look clean and bouncy instead of its usual flat and greasy. I spray it right on the roots, rub it in and then brush through my hair. I don't think that it leaves a white residue but I have blonde hair so I wouldn't see it much anyway. It also works great on clean hair to add volume. It gives the hair a bit of hold so it doesn't slip out of a bun or braid. The scent seems quite strong at first but fades so that I don't notice it at all. It is a clean laundry type scent. I've also tried the tropical scented Batiste and I like it a bit better but this original scent is not offensive. Batiste Dry Shampoo is a must have for me! -

I received this product for free for review but that hasn't influenced my opinion in any way! :)
I suffer from nerve problems and joint stiffness in my hands and often find washing my face by hand to be quite difficult. Using the Mia 2 was really helpful and made it much easier for me to effectively clean my face. It isn't heavy at all and is very easy to keep hold of when it is vibrating. I think this would be a very helpful tool for anyone with arthritis or issues with their hands!
I have very dry and sensitive skin so I was interested to see how the Mia 2 would perform for me. I used the included gel cleanser and also tried it with my usual creamy cleanser. In both cases it removed all of my makeup and made my skin feel extremely smooth. I didn't experience any irritation from using it at all so I can vouch for its gentleness. I feel like my serum and night cream penetrated into my skin better and I used less of these moisturizing products than I usually do when washing my face manually. I am hooked and will never be without a Clarisonic again!

I have very long lashes and those new silicon brushes don't work at all for me so I was very happy to see the huge, bushy traditional brush in this mascara. It is seriously massive! I gave me nice separation and a good, dark black colour without clumping. My only wish is that it curled my lashes a bit more. The wear time was great and it lasted all day without any smudging or flaking yet was easily removed. Using one coat this is a really great everyday mascara and if you apply more than one coat it becomes more dramatic for night. I don't usually wear mascara on my bottom lashes and I found the brush a little too long and awkward but maybe I'm just not practiced at it! -

This lip lacquer comes in a super cute little bottle that looks like nail polish. I found that the short doe foot applicator made precision a little difficult. With more natural colours this wouldn't be a problem but with the colour I tried (006 - Funky Lips) it was a little messy. I ended up using a lip brush instead. The product doesn't seem to have any scent or flavour and is fairly moisturizing. It goes on very glossy but wears off very quickly to more of a lip stain. I actually prefer it after the gloss wears off and achieved this more natural look by blotting with a tissue. The colour doesn't last very long at all and can't stand up to eating or drinking. Good thing it is so cute that I didn't mind pulling it out to reapply! -

When I opened the cap on this chubby pencil style blush the product was stuck in the cap. It was fairly easily saved and smooshed back into the stick but it did let me see how much product is actually in the stick. It was shockingly small! Like an inch of product in the whole stick! I don't think this would last very long if I were to use it every day. The product itself is very soft and silky. I found it too soft to apply directly on my cheeks so I used my fingers to pick up some blush and apply it to my skin. It is easy to blend out and the colour is natural and lovely. As it is a cream blush the wear time is just okay, maybe 4-5 hours on my very dry cheeks. -
