Magic in a tube!

If wear eye shadow you absolutely NEED Primer Potion. It's a translucent beige color in appearance, but when blended in is almost undetectable. On my skin, which is on the medium-dark side, it's ever-so-slight tint neutralizes the darkness I have on my upper lids. EVERYONE WINS. When I use this my eye shadow stays on from when I put it on until when I take it off, exactly as it should. The colors of my shadows are true and vibrant on top of Primer Potion also. Also, a tube of PP lasts forever.

Good formulation, but the scent is just so-so

I really love Philosophy and their 3-in-1s. This a great shower gel. It lathers like a dream and leaves my skin feeling better moisturized than when I use other shower gels. The smell isn't bad, but there are MUCH better 3-in-1s available from this company. Would only recommend to a true blue lemon lover.

No more reptile legs!

I, for whatever reason, experience the most on fortunate dry skin on my legs from the knee down. I've tried many different scrubs and this one meets my needs and leaves my legs smooth and ready to better absord whatever moisturizer I'm using at the moment. The Gingerbread Man scrub is oil-free and the exfoliating salt bits are big. It doesn't take a lot of effort to slough off unsightly flakes. Perfect for those who want a really substantial scrub. The scent is also very pleasant. It smells of ginger ale, not actual gingerbread, which makes it an every day staple as opposed to holiday indulgence.

Best home waxing product

I use this every few weeks to wax my upper lip, underarms, legs, and I even give myself Brazilian bikini with it. This is nothing like the old school waxes that you may have used in the past. There has to be something behind this "Smart Wax" claim that they make on the box because it truly feels like it's grabbing at the hair and not ripping off your skin. I will continue to use this product, as it's very effective and reasonably priced!

Must have for mineral makeup users

This primer creates the perfect matte base for mineral makeup (and liquid/cream makeup too) without making your skin feel dry or tight. It dries pretty much instantly. Prime Time makes my makeup last from when I put it on until when I want to take it off. It also doesn't breakout which my skin, which is surprising.

Lengthens and defines with no clumps!

This is a great mascara for those who are desiring length but still want to look very natural. The rubberized brush separates like advertised. Doesn't offer a lot in terms of volume, but hey- It doesn't claim to.

My worst mascara experience by far...

and I've a LOT of mascara in my time. I've read the other reviews and other users seemed to like this mascara after they "mastered" the brush. There should be no learning curve with freakin' mascara! I gave Lash Stylist a true shot, but my lashes look ridiculous drowning in heavy mascara. My lashes looked like they all fused together to form one humongous eye lash that was covered in tar. Not a good look.

Lives up to its claims

This mascara adds loads of clump-free volume in less strokes than any other volumizing mascara. This is my "Holy Grail" mascara.

Sophisticated and smell like an "old lady"

I'm fully willing to admit that I am typically afraid of fragrances from the "oriental" family. This one isn't too spicy or heavy. It's a classic, elegant scent that can be worn every day. This fragrance makes me feel beautiful.

Best lipstick I've ever used

I have one Therapy Systems lipstick in Roma, which is an extremely wearable red. You won't get grilled by old ladies in the checkout line at the grocery if you're wearing this at noon on Sunday. It's long lasting and creamy, just like the description says. I've tried a lot of lipsticks and no other brand feels and looks as good as this one does.
