Disney Takes Down Their "Sexy" Version of the "Brave" Princess

I've been hitting the jackpot lately with Rimmel. I am uber fair skinned. I need blush, but if you're fair, you know you can overdue it and working with your undertone isn't always easy. This product has 3 shades that you can blend together or use each individually. They're geared to be used by depth of skin color (light, medium, dark), and not undertone as the mix of shades matches all of them. I bought the lightest shade 001, and its worked for me very well. The blended shade is a great everyday, peachy-rose type of shade and the shades used seperately give me the option for going warm or cool. The lightest shade makes a good highlighter for the cheekbones too. This doesn't have the pigment depth that it could and I took one star off for that. I can work with it but darker skins may need to go one shade combo darker for more color payoff.

I bought these new eyeliners in shades Nude and Taupe, mostly because both shades are hard to find cheaply. I was honestly impressed with the lasting power of both. I use the Nude to line my waterline and make me look more awake (in the mornings, I need all the help I can get! LOL) and it works perfect for that, shade is equivilent to high ends ones. It also lasts a suprisingly long time on the waterline, which is difficult to find. The Taupe is a really gorgeous, neutral shade that blends out to a great smokey eye look for day time. Again, the product really lasts a surprisingly long time for a drug store eye liner. I will definitely buy more shades.

I bought the white and pale beige shades and not only do they make great long wearing eye base shades but they also work as highlighters on the rest of the face for lighter skin shades. The white works great in the corner of the eye for that "little extra sparkle" that makeup artists keep giving as a tip. You can also use it to line the bow on your top lip which is a great MUA tip I picked up recently. Both shades worked great as highlighters to hit the spots on the face where the light should catch, the cheekbone and under the brow bone. The product definitely stayed very well and I will be collecting more shades.

I've recently been having issues with makeup removers and makeup remover wipes making my eyes burn. I have allergies and it may be just worse lately or my eyes are getting more sensitive. With that in mind, I have been trying more natural products to see if they are less irritating. These wipes are gold and I am thrilled to find them. The package is the standard "peel open the front flap and grap a wipe" that we've all become familiar with. The formula is very natural and gentle and did not irriate my eyes, my skin or cause me any breakouts. It takes all my eye makeup off, although lots of eye makeup, or very dark eye makeup, may require some rubbing and possibly a 2nd wipe, which I can live with. The scent is very herbal and some may not like it, as its strong but I find it relaxing. Its also not drying to the skin and is great for lazy nights since you could get away with not using a moisturizer.

I really, really love the intense hydration product line. I started on the cleanser and the day cream and then added this product. I am 44 yrs old with combination, sensitive skin. I use this product over their repair serum with attar of roses and I literally wake up with skin that looks 10x better than when I went to sleep. No breakouts and no sensitivity. My skin literally glows and I need less makeup which speeds up my morning routine....gotta love that! Gotta love the compliments I keep getting too! LOL

Oh, so much love for this product!! I am on my 2nd or 3rd jar now of this stuff and I love it as much, if not more, today then when I first started using it. I am 44 yrs old with sensitive, combination skin. In the winter my skin becomes very dehydrated, itchy and prone to bouts of sensitivity. Anything that is moisturizing enough to hydrate usually breaks me out. If it doesn't break me out, it dries out my skin and makes the sensitivity worse. Finding this product was a true skin changer! Its more than hydrating enough, has the delicious scent of the clary sage oil and doesn't break me out or irritate my skin. Used in combination with the BB repair serum with attar of roses and my skin glows! I carry a small travel jar with me and apply it to my cheeks, if they're itchy, or to prevent windburn.

I love this cleanser so much! First, I love the scent of the intense hydration products with the clary sage...so uplifting! This cleanser is thick and mixes nicely with water into a lather (not foam) that completely cleans the face, removes all makeup, without stripping the skin. In fact, my face feels in better condition after cleansing...so soft. This leaves no residue and doesn't block my pores either. A little goes a long way so the tube lasts a long time. I will continue to use and also highly recommend.

I've been hooked on rose hip seed oil for a few years now and stumbled across this product while looking for items that contain high amounts of the rose hip seed oil. This product calls itself a "serum", which I think is misleading. Its a facial oil blend. It retails at approx $18.00 for 1 oz of oil and a little goes a long way. I have found that this oil makes my skin 44 yr old combination skin glow, reduces the fine lines and wrinkles and also fades the dark spots I have from past bouts with acne. The best part is that it doesn't break me out either or cause my sensitive skin to errupt. For this winter, I have been using it twice daily, under their intense hydration day and night creams (LOVE these too!) and my normally itchy, dry winter skin is hydrated, healthy and very happy. I've been getting a ton of compliments. This oil has multiple uses too- cuticles, hair, dry body areas like elbows, etc. This is a product I will never want to be without and also highly recommend!

Because I am uber fair skinned, I just don't normally have any luck with bronzers as they're too orange or too dark. But, I figured I'd give this a try since I love the Happy Booster blushes and this was a combo. Surprisingly, this bronzer is an excellent shade for my skin and not overly shimmery, although it has some shimmer. The natural shade of blush is also the perfect pink/peach tone. I would have given it 10 stars except there just isn't enough of the blush in the packaging and it can be hard to get enough of the blush without picking up any bronzer on the brush when you are trying to get only the blush. I am torn as to whether I would buy this again or just go with the full size, non-combo of the bronzer and natural shade of blush.

Excellent Drug Store Daily Repairing Conditoner
After getting excellent results with the mask in this line, I bought the daily shampoo and this daily conditioner to keep the great results going. I have very long, very curly hair that is fine in texture but I have a lot of it. This winter has just brutalized my hair. This regimen of shampoo, daily conditioner and mask has restored my hair to its former shiney glory. I am so impressed with how well this system works. This daily conditioner gives you just what you need for when you're not using the mask and works excellently in tandem with the shampoo. My hair is loving this and the results have been excellent and all at a very affordable price. I will continue to purchase and also highly recommend. Additionally, the scent is wonderful and my boyfriend loves it!
