Clumps like crazy

I got this in a Benefit kit. I love Benefit, but found this mascara to be a total waste. The design of the brush is great, but the mascara clumps so much that it isn't worth using when I've got anything else up my sleeve.

Jolly Rancher toes

I used Cherry Fizz. Very, very light coverage with a cute popsicle or candy coated look. A fun color to layer over something else; definitely not a go-to product for me. My main complaint is that it was super runny and drippy. I'd buy other colors, but I'd never wear it alone.

Lovely

I'm definitely a vanilla girl; I used to rock mega-sprays of Dior Addict when it first came out, and all of my bath products are lavendar-vanilla combos. So it's no surprise that I'm a Brit fan. This fragrance isn't too sweet, though. It's an everyday fragrance that can double as sexy, but in a very understated way.

Love this stuff

It doesn't smell like sunscreen, it doesn't have a gooey sheen to it, it stays put, and it works! I use it most days (I'm UV paranoid), and I absolutely love it. The antioxidant vitamins are a nice touch, too. If I've exfoliated, the sunblock stings a tiny bit, but that's just the price my sensitive skin will have to pay - it doesn't leave a visible irritation, so it's ok. Update: I found a version of Ultra Sheer that is SPF 85! Woohoo!

Also good for brow bone

I use this on the inner corners of my eyes to look awake. A must-have. I also use it on my brow bone instead of using Benefit's "High Brow" pencil.

Fast and Flawless

I'm loving the benetint sample I got in my "The Fast and the Flawless" kit. Used as blush, it is a subtle, glowing, sexy flush. I'm hooked on it - as a blush. I find that the stain makes my lips look icky unless I cover up with a light gloss - then it's a nice, long-lasting base color. Make sure to blend it in FAST or you'll have goofy-looking stains

Wow

I have very curly, very frizzy hair. This stuff really hydrates hair; the thick consistency seems to coat the hair and really penetrate each curl. Unlike other products that only seem to hydrate for a day, this stuff has improved my hair a bit with multiple uses. I use it every day, which might be too much for others, but my curls are thirsty! I think it smells great, but the scent is just a tad too strong.

Ok, but not great

I don't think that this works very well; it's an ok moisturizer, but it really stung when I put it on my somewhat sensitive skin. I didn't notice much of a change in the likelihood of breakouts. The only saving grace is that it's very inexpensive. Maybe if you don't have sensitive skin and you rarely break out you could give it a try.

Cool essentials

I agree with the total beauty review in that this deodorant DOES leave white marks and could "anti-perspirize" better. However, it is the only deodorant that I've used that didn't make me get icky red bumps. The cucumber scent is a nice change of pace from other products I've tried - it's lightly scented and not too sweet. I also noticed that it doesn't start to smell a ton stronger when I get hot, unlike other deodorants. It works pretty well, and I'm going to keep using it for now, but I wish it was a)less white-mark leaving and b)more wetness protecting

Great marketing, not so great product

This moisturizes ok, but it doesn't have that extra "something" I was looking for - I don't think that it improved the overall tone of my skin or anything. The SPF in it really toasted my somewhat sensitive skin, so I tried the non-SPF version and wasn't particularly impressed. I used to use some C&C products as a teen and vaguely remember not thinking they were that hot then either - except for a shine control primer goo that I looooved.
