I got a sample of this with a Sephora order and have been using it as my night moisturizer. It's ok. It goes on well and seems to moisturize as well as anything, but there's nothing really spectacular about it that I can see and I certainly don't love it as much as some other moisturizers I've used. I haven't had any trouble with breakouts or irritated skin since I started using it. It's good enough to use up the sample, but I doubt I'll ever purchase the full size of this product.

I got a sample of this from Sephora right around the time I ran out of my primer with SPF, so I decided to give it a try. Obviously a moisturizer is not the same as a primer, but I wanted the SPF since my other primers don't have it. For what it's worth, this has a great scent--it's a subtle citrus fragrance that I only smell while I'm putting it on and I really enjoy it. This soaks right in and makes my skin feel very soft. I have oily skin, but except for my forehead this doesn't seem to make it worse like some moisturizers do and it hasn't caused any breakouts.

I love a good primer and DO NOT love the way my pores look most of the time. When this first came out I wanted to try it but I talked myself out of buying it after reading some of the reviews on Sephora. However. I recently picked up a sample that I've been using and I'm actually impressed with it. It comes out of the tube looking like it's tinted which made me nervous. I'm so fair skinned tinted products often don't work well on me. But this goes on translucent and very, very smooth. I only use it on the trouble spots--forehead, nose, chin--and put it on after a moisturizer with SPF. This makes my skin look smooth and amazing. The only thing I don't love is that it doesn't control oil at all. I've used some other primers that prevented my mid-afternoon shiny forehead situation, but this one does not. I'm still undecided about whether I'll purchase this after my sample runs out...

I've never really had a huge interest in this product, but I got a free sample in a Sephora order so I decided to try it out. It's kind of thin, I think, but it goes on nicely and is very easy to blend. It's really a very nice, subtle highlighter, though if you wanted or needed to, I think you could probably layer it on a little heavier if you wanted a more intense look. I used this after my moisturizer and primer, but before I put on my powder foundation and the result was a very natural, lit from within glow. I put it on my cheek bones and it was also great as a highlighter right below my brows. It was quicker and easier than digging out a pale shimmery eye shadow to use on that area! Next time I need to purchase a highlighter, I just might get this one...

The Body Shop's Satsuma is one of my all time favorite scents. It's just so bright and happy with all that citrus and it really is awesome for waking up in the morning. This particular product, though, is probably not something I will purchase again. It does have the grainy bits that should do the exfoliating, but I'm not sure there are enough of them to really do much. The gel lathers nicely, but that's not really what I'm looking for in a scrub. There is some exfoliating happening when I use it, but I'm used to scrubs that are a little more hardcore. So I guess if you're looking for a more gentle scrub this might be one to try. This also comes in a relatively small tube, so I feel like I'm going through it pretty quickly, even though I only use it maybe once a week.

My dad has been using this for years so when I got older and had chapped lips this is what I went for. I don't like the jar nearly as much as the stick or tube because it can get dirty and is harder to apply. But the product itself is the most effective I've ever found for treating dry, chapped lips.

This is just the classic Carmex but in a tube instead of a pot. I love how much easier it is to apply and fit into a pocket than the original jar. This works every bit as well as the original and is my favorite for treating dry, chapped lips.

I love this. This is just your good old fashioned Carmex, just much easier to use. This is the best treatment for dry, chapped lips I've ever used (and I have used many). It's a bit medicinal but...in my opinion that's what makes it work so well!

This is great for treating chapped lips. It is moisturizing, though I don't find it as moisturizing as some other lip balms I've used. What I like is that it doesn't have so much of a medicinal kind of scent/taste as the classic Carmex. I especially love this in the winter when I have to be outside and I want to protect my lips from getting chapped and dry from the cold wind and weather.

I got a sample size of this in a set (with the other Pores No More products) and used it consistently for a 3 day weekend and saw results by the 2nd day (when used with the other products--I haven't tried it alone yet, but I'll update this review as needed when I do). I haven't used the cleanser (or any of the other products) since that weekend and it's been 4 days and the results haven't faded! I think that is what is most impressive to me. The cleanser itself I'm a little wary of, though. It has a very chemical kind of smell and it feels harsh on my skin. It didn't make me break out or make my skin red or anything, there was just a slight burning sensation while it was on and for a bit after rinsing and that sensation was stronger on the 3rd day I used it (which is part of why I took a break from it). The instructions are also very specific that you need to keep this cleanser away from your eyes, so it kind of annoyed me that I had to wash my face then use a makeup remover separately to cleanse around my eyes. I'm going to try all the products separately to see how they do, but I could see me buying this cleanser to use one or twice a week to maintain that smooth, poreless look. Update: This cleanser alone does nothing for my pores. Also, this stuff is REALLY harsh. Even if I haven't used this cleanser in weeks using it even once makes my skin hurt. I don't normally have sensitive skin, so if you do I'd be very careful of this one.
