My very first lipsticks by Rimmel and I was impressed by both the gorgeous color selection and the amazing price. I bought Airy Fairy and Paradise after hearing raves about them on youtube. Airy Fairy is a bit too pink/cool for my olive/copper skin tone and definitely highlighted any chapping and flaky skin on my lips but Paradise is beautiful - a soft mauve that goes on and has a lovely buttery shine to it without too much shimmer and felt smooth, moisturinzing and comfortable. The fragrance is nice but a bit strong. There is a slightly flowery taste, as well. Beautiful colors, very happy. Glad I finally tried this brand!

I use this religiously. It's soothing, cooling and totally eliminates the flushy red patches that rosacea has cursed me with. I wrote a stellar review about the loose powder and I carry the pressed powder with me everywhere. The compact is expensive, beautifully made and mirrored on both the front and inside for easy application. The pretty, clear-handled brush that comes with it is flat and wide and offers excellent coverage in one sweep. It's lasted me a looooong time, so it's worth the money for the extra convenience of having this in compact form. I never leave home without this!

Clinique Redness Solutions Instant Relief Mineral Powder
BLEND, BLEND, BLEND.....And It Works Beautifully!
Just be sure to use a different brush to apply. The one included with the product is no good. I first tried this powder in Sephora and was looking in the mirrorr, amazed at how the red patches on both cheeks almost instantly disappeared. I bought it after trying it out several times with the same awesome result and am very, very happy. I have rosacea on both cheeks and some redness around my nose. I always put on sunscreen/moisturizer and the Clinique Powder followed by Bare Minerals. The powder feels silky and is milled super-fine ~ be careful during application so it doesn't go flying everywhere. (I once went out with a black top and yellow powder all over my chest, unbeknownst to me!) This product definitely works for me ~ it's soothing, calming and feels cool on my flushy, red patches. BE SURE TO BLEND so you don't get a coating of yellowish powder sitting on top of your skin. I blend and have no problems ~ and I have a deeper olive complexion. In fact, when I'm in a hurry, I sweep this on and am out the door, knowing my skin is more even in appearance and natural-looking. Great product to invest in for those with rosacea or reactive redness. It IS pricey, but it's lasting me a long time and makes my skin look great and me feel so much better about my appearance, that it's worth it. Love it and will continue to use it.

I actually used the St. Ives Green Tea Blemish Control Facial Scrub, but it isn't listed here. It claims to be soothing and calming to sensitive skin while clearing up acne blemishes. I'm cursed with both hormonal acne as well as mild rosacea, so I wanted something to effectively get rid of my zits but that was also not going to exacerbate my redness. I used this three times and had to stop. My skin was dry, peeling and flaking and my rosacea only flared up more. My skin actually hurt. Whatever formulation this is, it doesn't work. Do not use this if you have the least bit of sensitivity!

I've been using this as a new replacement to my old stand-by, Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle Cream. Newly 41, I thought it would be a good idea to bump up the strength of my retinol formula. I love that this has an SPF 30. It's a bit smelly, like chemicals, but I got used to it eventually. Initally, this product was extremely irritating to my skin - stinging, peeling and flaking occured for about three weeks of daily use. But there is a product warning on the label that this may occur. I kept with it and my skin adjusted. Very happy with the results - noticeably smoother and taut-looking yet soft skin that also has sun protection. My new daily moisturzer!

Bought this with the conditioner after using the Keratin Smooth Protectant Spray and getting such good results. This shampoo smells great and, when used wtih the conditioner, leaves my thin, broken hair smooth and incredibly soft and shiny. I love this line of products and highly recommend.

Have been using this for about two weeks and it's the best heat protectant/smoother spray I've ever used! It's better than TRESemme's original heat protectant spray. My hair is amazingly soft, silky and smooth. Whatever is in this, IT WORKS. For the record, I have thin hair that is broken all over due to excess ponytail use and so it puffs up and frizzes out with each blowdry. With this, my hair lays flat and smooth and feels incredible. And it lasts all day. It worked so well, I bought the Keratin Smooth shampoo & conditioner too! Fantastic product and my new can't-be-without!

Just stepped out of the shower after using this for the first time and had to write a review. Lately, I've been fairly mad for Dove products and this bodywash is now another reason why. I used the "softening" creme bodywash and it's feels like a dream ~ it's a unique formula somewhere between a cream and a foam and it glides on the skin and feels luxurious. The fragrance is warm, relaxing and so inviting. My usually dry skin felt soft and smooth afterwards, not tight or dry. Love this bodywash ~ Dove does it again!

Accidentally wrote this in the wax strips review, so I'm re-doing here. This stuff SUCKS!! The directions stress on applying a thin layer after you heat up the bottle thoroughly in hot water, but the product just would not heat up - I didn't want to use boiling water and had to keep heating it up and heating it up. Finally just tried to use it as is and it was a thick, gloppy, sticky MESS that just didn't come out of the tube in a precise application. It doesn't heat up, so how can you apply a thin layer?! The only good thing was that it's water-soluable and simply washed off my face and fingers easily enough. I threw it away. Don't waste your money!

I've grown to LOVE this brush. I use it for light powder application to my eyebrows - does a great job on the ends since it's so small and precise, just a light touch leaves the perfect amount of product on my brows and I also use it to gently darken my white scalp on my hair's part and around my hair line to "thicken" my hair's appearance. I use my other brush for applying black shadow directly on my lash line to thicken my eyelashes, when I don't want a heavy eyeliner look. This works perfectly for that - it's small, precise and easy to handle. And cheap! Love this brand!
