I LOVE LOVE LOVE this brush. I use it to fill in my eyebrows with shadow, as well as apply my Mac Fluidline gel liner to my eyes. It's picks up the perfect amount of product and makes brows look natural and perfect. It's also perfect for making the cat winged eyeliner look, it makes the process easy and quick. The little pointed wing comes out perfect every time with the shape of this brush. The bristles are perfect in terms of stiffness, not too soft and not too hard. I LOVE this brush, I own 4 of them! They last forever too, my oldest brush is over 6 years old and is still good as new. Highly recommended.

I was asked by Total Beauty to review this lotion and it was sent to me in an unmarked bottle to prevent brand bias. After smelling it a few times, I had already figured out that it was a Vaseline brand lotion. It smells like that classic Vaseline scent that's been around forever. It's a light clean scent that doesn't linger after you put it on. This lotion is a good summertime or warm weather option because it soaks into the skin quickly and doesn't leave that film that sits on top of your skin. I wouldn't recommend this for winter or dry climates though because it is a very light lotion and has a thin consistency. Wouldn't be great for rough chapped hands either. I haven't noticed any improvement as far as skin texture goes. But it's definitely a great buy for the price and an excellent drug store brand choice.

I was using the sensitive brush head that came with my Mia 2 and was getting great results but decided to step it up and purchased the deep pore brush. I was almost expecting the brush to be more coarse and rougher, but it was actually the complete opposite. The deep pore brush was actually softer than the sensitive one! It is about twice as plush and very soft, not at all harsh on my face. So don't let the name scare you! It does a great job of cleaning out the huge pores on my nose and has definitely reduced the look of them by a whole lot. I LOVE it!! I wash my face twice a day with my Mia 2 and use my deep pore brush and night and my sensitive one in the morning. I can't rave about how much I love these brush heads and my Clarisonic. It's changed the way I care for my skin and has been a life saver. If you haven't already jumped on the Clarisonic band wagon it's definitely time to do it!

I absolutely adore the St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse, so I purchased this product as well. The results of this lotion are much more subtle than the mousse, it gives you a very light golden bronze color in about a week of daily use. After using the other St. Tropez mousse product and getting instant gratification (a dark tan within a couple of hours), this product was sort of a let down for me. I use this mostly for maintenance of the tan I get from the mousse but alone, the resulting color isn't really dark enough for my skin tone. However, this is still a good product. It's a white nice smelling lotion that goes on streak free and best of all has ZERO self tanner smell. With other self tanners (ahem, Jergens) I was always stuck wearing it before I went to bed instead of during the day because nothing is worse than smelling like rotting fruits/self tanner at work. I would say that is probably the biggest pro. It is a little pricey for everyday use though, so I probably won't be purchasing again.

I used to love this product, but not so much anymore. This lotion is not great for harsh NYC winters, but yet too greasy for the summer. I keep it around whenever I just need a cheap moisturizer to throw on my face when I run errands. It never feels like it soaks into my skin and feels like it's just a film that sits on top of my skin. It doesn't dry matte and leaves my face shiny and disgusting looking. The gel version is much better, surprisingly. But as far as this original version goes, I'm no longer a fan. I only use it when they give the sample size portions of it out with the Clinique gift bags.

I use a generous amount of this after I curl my hair. My hair does not hold curl well, and this spray adds body and hold to it. Locks out humidity and lasts for a long time! I can even sleep on it and wake up with the curls somewhat intact. It dries quickly after it sprays on and is nicely scented as well. Not greasy or crunchy in texture. I definitely will be buying again!

I went through a whole bottle of it and like it but don't love it. It does soak into your skin easily and leaves it feeling and looking temporarily soft and flawless, but it is likely because of the silicone and mica that is in this serum, which reflect light and only makes it appear that your skin is smooth. I haven't seen a huge difference in my skin even after finishing a bottle of this. No difference in skin tone or pore size, just a small improvement in texture. I won't be buying again and will be looking elsewhere for a more effective serum.

I usually love most Clinique products, but this wasn't one of them. I used the whole bottle diligently, applying twice a day and didn't see any results. It soaks into the skin quickly but really does nothing for my skin. Definitely disappointed, considering how much this costs. Pass!

These worked great on me. My teeth weren't too bad, just slightly stained from coffee and red wine. Within 5 days my teeth were already gleaming white! I had strangers asking me how I got them so white. This product simply works. The sensitivity can be an issue, and I occasionally felt it but skipping a day or two fixed that problem. They definitely take a little bit of patience and a bit of extra planning to fit into your routine, but worth it for the results.

Amazing stuff. It goes on a dark olive poopy color and may look a little scary, but after you rinse off you are left with a bronze brown color that is not at all orange or fake looking. It is the most genuine tan color from a bottle that I have ever gotten, it is deep and dark (which is how I like it). It works fast too! When you put it on, you can see it on your skin immediately which helps you so you can see where you've already applied. It soaks into your skin faster than any other self tanner or lotion I've ever used. No more running around naked or standing in front of a fan waiting to dry before getting dressed! I've rinsed it off at the 5 hour mark and still have had great color. No weird smell either! Nothing is worse than that rotten fruit smell that most other tanners tend to have. My only small complaint is that the color does not last as long as the type you'd get from a gradual self tanning lotion. By 2-3 days my color is usually gone, even with diligent lotioning. But I really don't care, because the color is seriously that amazing. It's a pricey product, so I do tend to save it for special occasions.
