First off, I chose to try Almay because they make cosmetics for sensitive skin. I also have fair skin. The lightest (pinky) shade is perfect for me. I have combination skin and this product is dry enough to cover and not cause my t-zone to be greasy looking. There is minimal transfer with the foundation and it really does last well all day. When I tried the Garnier bb cream and found it was too dark and to moist, I was able to fix that by mixing it with almay's tlc foundation. Of course the foundation lasts longer on it's own, but it did help with transfer and the almost greasy issues the bb cream created. I find that since this foundation stays so well, no matter what blush I use - even cheap short wearing ones, last much longer. I believe if you have a really good base, your other makeup will stay longer. It's not a full coverage foundation, I would call it medium coverage. It does look great, but doesn't always cover flaws that come with 30+ age. I have had no breakouts from this, no sensitive skin issues, and I really love how this foundation wears. I highly recommend this foundation to anyone looking for a good drugstore foundation and is worried about breakouts or harsh chemicals.

I tend to like the Revlon lipsticks more than any other. They have a great selection, they are moisturizing, and they are decently priced. I often get them during sales and bogo deals as they happen a lot. They many different finishes and I love the packaging. Easy to open, easy to use, and very classic looking. There is no scent or taste, which I absolutely love. They wear easily and last a decent amount of time. Overall I will repurchase again and again, and I will recommend it to my friends.

I like these glosses. They are not too sticky, and they last a decent amount of time for a gloss. They work great alone or paired with lipstick. They can even help tone down bright colors. They are shiny and moisturizing. They have quite a few colors and the price is great. I don't see a reason to buy high end glosses when I can get a great one for much cheaper and it's much more readily available.

There's only been one marker type lip stain that I could stand - (NYC) but no matter the brand, without something over the top, they are super drying. The Covergirl brand is also streaky and gross. Most of Covergirl's products have horrible tastes/smell. I don't know why that can't make products that don't taste bad. Stay away from this one.

I like how quickly it is to get moisturized with this product. You do get over spray, so it's not a good idea to use it on a hard floor. I don't know if it will build up on carpet over time, but it can't be worse than some other things that may wind up on your carpet. It absorbs quickly but leaves your skin feeling moisturized. I can see this as a great summer moisturizer. Nice and light. It also has a light smell that isn't special, but it's not unpleasant. If you like thick lotions, this won't be for you. The spray is nice, but once you get the lotion on your hands it's hard to use. It would be nice if it have a better grip or a trigger type spray. I find that you can spray it on your back as well, but unless you are super flexible, it's hard to rub in. ha haa! The texture of the lotion is smooth and milky - of course it has to be to come out of a spray. It would be great if they came out with some yummy scents. I did get this free to try from Total Beauty, but I think - especially in the summer - I would purchase this. I would also recommend it to anyone who hates taking the time to put lotion on - or would like to use lotion but your morning routine is limited.

I used this eye cream for some time (a jar last a long time as a little goes a long way). I didn't see any noticeable difference. It is a nice eye cream and hydrates well, but I don't think is "holy grail" as they say.

I love the carrot line. It works well and smells great! It does sort of leave your skin looking a tad colored, but it is not really noticeable. The day cream is only a little greasy feeling, but that goes away - the night cream is the really greasy one. I love how this is a light formula. Not a heavy cream. A jar lasts a long time too.

I don't like these. They are too shimmery and not very moisturizing. If they put half the amount of shimmer in them, I may like them better. It's just too much like a disco ball on the lips.

I have to say, I really like this toner. A bottle lasts a long time. I have sensitive skin and sometimes it can be a bit too much. The smell is good, but sometimes it can be a bit to strong for those of us sensitive to smell. It does leave your face clean and feeling refreshed.

I have to say, this is one of my least favorite Burt's Bees products. I cant stand the sweet almond scent (I hate the smell of almond oil or extract). I also can't stand greasy hands. I like a lotion that really soaks in fast so I can get back to doing what I'm doing like typing or writing. My mom loves this product, but I just can't seem to get past the grease and smell.
