I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet!! This is the best razor I've ever used (and I've used several). I used to use the original Venus razor and read a post on a beauty blog about how fantastic the Embrace razor was. I was skeptical. How great could a razor possibly be? Turns out, pretty great! I've never gotten a closer, smoother shave from any other razor. I love the moisturizing strips and the last a nice, long time (even though my fiance insists on sharing my razor). The blades are considerably more expensive than other razors/blades, but I have felt it was worth the money...for the last 5 or 6 years. And for the foreseeable future. I highly recommend it!!

I use this daily under my powder foundation. It's a great primer--my makeup lasts all day--and I love the SPF since I spend some time outside walking every day getting to and from the office. It is a bit pricey (in my opinion), but I find that if I use just a small dot (which covers my whole face), the tube lasts at least 6 months. I've switched to try a couple other brands but at the end of the day I really prefer NARS.

When I first received this lipstick, I was skeptical. It didn't really look right in the tube--sort of like there was some kind of film on it or something. When I tried it on, the shade was perfection (I think bought plum something or other), but I was a little unsure of the texture. I was afraid it might be a bit too dry. Several days later I actually picked it up to wear and now I'm in love. It has a matte finish and lasts really, really well. It is a tad dry, but no so much that it was uncomfortable (at least for me) and certainly less dryness than most other matte finish lip products I have used. This one is definitely a keeper and a product I would purchase again in other shades.

My fiance loves this face wash--won't use anything else. He used to wash his face with SHAMPOO until he found out Neutrogena has a men's line. Now his skin looks much better!! This isn't drying and it doesn't make him break out.

I've tried this before for the breakouts on my back and chest (usually just in the summer or from working out) and I don't recall it ever working very well. I do recall that it was a very abrasive scrub and had a strong medicinal smell. I tried in during college and have never bothered with it again. Update: I decided to give this another try recently. I realized that it's great that it's medicated but if you just scrub then rinse, you're rinsing all the medication down the drain! So I have started using this scrub then leaving it on for 2 to 5 minutes while I shave my legs, then rinsing. It works much better this way!! I have definitely had less post-run breakouts since I started using this again.

I have oily skin and have tried numerous primers in search of the perfect formula. This primer is my new favorite! It doesn't cause breakouts and does better than any primer I've ever tried with controlling oil throughout the day. It still isn't perfect, but my skin is so oily, I just don't don't think any product ever will be. It goes on so smoothly and has no scent that I've been able to detect. It's not a huge bottle, but I need so little to do the job that it still lasts a long time, not to mention it's affordable so replacing it is never a problem. (My apologies--I only just noticed, a year after the fact, that this review got posted before it was finished--it's a good thing I still love this product!)

A friend gave me this in Persimmon and I love it! It's too shimmery for my taste as a lip color, but I think it's fantastic for cheeks. It goes on a little dark, but it blends very easily into a beautiful shade that looks just perfect on my fair skin. I've worn it alone when I was going for a laid back, minimal makeup look, and I've also put it on after moisturizer but before my powder foundation. Wearing it that way is my favorite! It gives a very healthy looking glow that looks totally natural and not like makeup at all. Update: I took one star off because I tried to use this for only the 4th or 5th time the other day and the whole tube broke and the product went flying across the room and was ultimately ruined. What a shame!

A friend gave me a tube of this gloss in the Sorority Girl shade and I love it! On me it's a nice nude shade (which has been difficult for me to find for my coloring). The texture is smooth and wonderful. It has some shimmer to it, without being overwhelmingly sparkly. No chunky glitter and not even a little bit sticky. It lasts a long time and while I wouldn't say it's really a moisturizing gloss, it isn't drying either. I recently ordered this same gloss in another shade and I can't wait to try it!

I really like the Photo Finish Light primer so I was pretty excited to try out the hydrating version from the Smashbox brand. It is not so great. It is winter and my skin has been dry in large patches, so I thought my sample of this primer might help eliminate a step in my makeup routine. If my primer is hydrating, maybe I won't need to put on moisturizer AND primer! Not so much. This has something of a chemical smell that I didn't love. But more importantly, it doesn't seem to be all that hydrating, and it has made me break out. I love Smashbox primers, but I still can only really stand by their Photo Finish Light version.

Admittedly, I did get this as a free gift with purchase some years ago... But I have used the heck out of it! It's very durable--I've stuffed it full without any damage to the zipper (can't say the same for some dresses I own--oops) and it has kicked around my bathroom and luggage for YEARS now and has held up better than any other cosmetic bag I've ever owned. Inside the top there are wonderful little pockets to hold everything from brushes to tubes of gloss or mascara and there is a clear flap to prevent those things from falling out or mixing with the rest of the bag contents. The main part of this bag is not huge, but certainly large enough to hold some essentials. I am always able to fit all my makeup essentials for a weekend away in this bag.
