Okay, this is a 10 star product for me and I don't really say that often in a review. This cleanser completely cleans my face, even removing makeup, without stripping my skin and leaving it tight or dry. I have very sensitive skin as well and this doesn't irriate my skin at all. It has no scent and is very mild and worked excellent through the insanely hot summer/fall here in NJ. This works as well as dept store brand cleansers for about 1/3 of the price. I will continue to use this and also highly recommend it!

I bought this to try based on reviews I've seen and I was very glad I did. This is one of the best concealers I've ever used. It doesn't settle into my fine lines, gives excellent coverage for pimples and for around the eye area and it lasts all day. For those having trouble with the blending or with it drying too quickly, I recommend using a damp concealer brush to apply. I use the damp brush and have no issues with it drying too fast to blend. The Ivory shade is also perfect for my uber fair skin and doesn't turn orange or too yellow. I will definitely repurchase this and recommend it to others.

My hair is fine in texture but its very curly, very long and I have a lot of it. Frizz has always been the bane of my existence and products that work to tame the frizz normally weigh my hair down. This product has been amazing- tames the frizz and doesn't weigh down my hair and pull the curls out. Also, you can re-apply it without adding additional weight. My only real issue is that its not exactly cheap for a drug store product and I'm going to go through it pretty quickly, if the weather in NJ currently is any indicator.

I have 3 of these tinted balms. They remind me very much of the Colour Juice sheer lipsticks the company used to make. They scent is light and fruity but not overpowering. They do add moisture and I like the SPF. My one issue is that they don't last all that long and there aren't as many shades as I'd like.

I've been dying to try these as I love their primer from this line and I was not disappointed. I have super fair skin and have the issue with cream blushes that they either give too much color or not enough. This one is more in the middle and is also buildable so all skin tones can get the right color. Also, the formula keeps this blush on all day. I have Angelic (my personal fave) and its a peachy-coral and also Celestial which is a nude-pinkish shade. I haven't noticed any shimmer in either of these shades and am confused by other reviewers having found any, unless its the other shades I don't own. While its not the least expensive product in the drug store, its not the highest end either and I got mine on sale and also had coupons. I will definitely buy these again.

This a great lip gloss, especially for the price. The formula is fantastic- shiny but not sticky and wears very long for a lip gloss not marked as long wearing. It also doesn't travel outside the lip lines as much as other glosses I've used. The scent is kinda of "vanilla sweet" but not overly cloying and there isn't any taste. The shade of Rivington Rose is so pretty and is my favorite in the line. It has some shimmer but no glitter and doesn't come off like a cheap, 80's frosty gloss. On me (and I have very pale skin with a lot of color in my lips) its like a MLBB shade. When I wear this, I seem to get a lot of "did you change your hair or lose weight"" comments and genrally, the only thing different is that I wore this gloss! LOL I also love the limited edition Summer 2012 shade called Peach Melba, which is a gorgeous coral-peach shade and looks really bright in the tube but gives a gorgeous, natural peach flush on the lips.

I just love this lipstick formula! I can't believe these are only $0.99 each! I have probably every shade they make but I DO have a favorite, and for a reason - Sheer Red. This is a great "steal" find as a dupe for a "splurge" lipstick from Clinique. Clinique makes a shade called "Angel Red" and its been popular for years. This shade from NYC is about as identical as it gets and is $0.99 compared to $15.00. I also think its a great introduction to red lipstick for anyone who has been a little leery of trying a red lipstick. The color is going to be good for basically anyone and its sheer enough not to scream "I'm wearing red lipstick!". Its also excellent on the cheeks as a cream blush, just make sure your skin isn't too dry/too matte before using it or, mix a teeny drop of your mositurizer with it when you apply. This is an excellent lipstick, great shade and at a reasonable price. I highly recommend and definitely will repurchase!

I got this product hoping that it would work for my fine lines without irritating my sensitive skin. So far, its been an excellent product that has done what it says it should do and hasn't irriated my skin or caused any breakouts. Within 2 weeks of using this, I could see a difference: my skin looked glowy and it felt and looked more lifted. After a month, my skin tone was more even and my fine lines have smoothed out. The serum has very little smell (the faint scent is pleasant), isn't oily and completely absorbs into the skin. I can layer my night cream or day cream on top without fear of break outs. My skin is combination and this seems to have balanced it out as well. I have had issues with serums and creams for aging skin. They usually irritate my skin or are so heavy, they cause me to break out. I only gave this product 7 stars due to price, which is hefty. I will keep hoping to find soemthing as effective but cheaper and if not, well I'll keep using this one. LOL

Okay, for several years now, I have been searching for my HG eye cream/serum, without much success. Thanks to this site, I did try one from MAC that was the best, until I tried this product. I am 44 yrs old, with super pale, sensitive, combination skin. I also have MAJOR allergies and my eyes get swollen and puffy from the allergies and just about anything else that will cause puffiness. Due to haviing such pale skin, any eye area swelling will cause dark circles and make them very noticeable. To date, no other eye cream has addressed all my concerns/needs for the eye area. I have had fine lines and crepiness on the eye lids, as well as the puffy/circle issues. I also need moisture. From the 1st application, I could tell this product would address the puffiness and the circles caused by the puffiness. After 2 weeks of use, my whole eye area looked tighter and brighter and on waking, the usual puffiness was significantly reduced. The crepiness on my lids was also significantly reduced and my eye makeup looked better and lasted longer. It also didn't irritate my sensitive skin either. After a month of use, I know this is my HG for the eye area. Now, lets talk price. Initially, I was shocked at the price for the tube until I realized its for 1 full ouce of product. In the past, I was paying $35.00 for 1/2 and oz of product and lasted me approx 6 months. So this tube will last me a year and save me a couple of bucks in the bargain. This is so well worth its price, and I NEVER normally say that about any product.

Let me preface this review by clearing up some misconceptions about semi-perm hair coloring products. First, this is a semipermanent hair color, meaning its not going to lift and change your existing hair color. So, if you have black hair, its not going to make it red. If you have brunette hair, its not going to make it blonde. Additionally, semipermanent hair color tends to come out much darker, especially after you've freshly colored with it, in order to keep the shade in longer as it fades in about 28 shampoos, so you may want to go a shade lighter if you are worried about a too deep shade or are stuck between deciding amongst shades. In order to get the best results, you need to understand this will work best if you are staying within approx 2 shades of your natural color. Any desires for a drastic hair color change really need to be made in a salon. All of that being said, this product is now my preferred semipermanent hair color product, even over my former fave- natural instincts. My hair is a medium brown with warm undertones, I used the shade "Truffle", which is a medium natural brown. The scent of the color is very similar, except lighter, to most of the L'Oreal hair colors. Once applied, the product looked like a melted chocolate bar on my head and the color result was a nice dark chocolate brown. I have some grays, approx 20% maybe? And this completely covered them which no other semi permanent product has ever done. Additionally, it rinsed out like a dream and my hair felt great even before using the after color conditioner that came in the box. Oh, and that conditioner left my hair super silky without it being weighed down and they give enough for several additional weekly conditioning treatments. My hair was exactly my natural color, all grays covered, was super shiny and felt in better condition that it was prior to coloring. This is a 10 minute color but the box recommended leaving it on for 15 minutes for resisitant grays so that is what I did. I was truly impressed with this product and would definitely repurchase it. I use the L'Oreal EverCreme Cleansing Conditioner to wash my hair and I have had very, very gradual fading and no staining clothes or pillowcases. Depending on what a friend might be looking for in a hair color, I'd recommend this one if it would fit their needs.
