SPF30 rocks!

I'm very fair skinned and so besides wanting to prevent wrinkles I need a daily sunscreen to prevent sunburns. I've tried a LOT of different moisturizers, from drugstore brands to the very trendy and expensive, and I keep coming back to this product. It makes my skin feel well-nourished and protected, and the price is definitely a plus! When using this I don't have to worry about whether or not my foundation has any spf. It is heavier than moisturizers without this level of sun protection, but that comes with the spf territory.

Love it!

Wow. I thought I needed an eye makeup remover with oil to remove my really tough waterproof eye makeup, but now I know I don't! This stuff is great and the price is the icing on the cake!

Conflicted...

I'm really conflicted about Stila's Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer. I love the spf and "illumination," although it seems a bit shiny/greasy upon initial application, it quickly sinks in and provides the nice "glow" that it claims without looking shiny. Unfortunately, I've found that the texture is way too thick for something called a moisturizer, it's not so easy to apply and I feel like I need to really rub my skin to get it on and blended. I probably won't buy this again because I personally don't like the thick texture, but I do still think it's a quality product. If you like a lighter-feeling moisturizer though, give this a try before buying.

Not great for very fair skin

I like the feel of this product on my skin, and love the fact that it's got some sun protection. Unfortunately though, the tint is a bit dark/orange for my very fair skin. I wish I would have sampled this before buying a whole tube! I also didn't notice much reduction in the apparent size of my pores, but because of the issue with the color I haven't used it much so maybe with more time or practice this would become apparent. I'm going to stick with Philosophy's colorless The Present for priming, which works great, and get my spf somewhere else.

Love these!

I LOVE these truly "high intensity" shadows. For the price, their totally worth the mess that the loose shadow can cause (just be careful where it falls!). Shimmery and very pigmented, they're not meant for everyday wear (at least if you work in an office like I do), but they're AWESOME for creating dramatic looks when that's what you want!

mmmm grapefruit!

I LOVE grapefruit, and can "always" use another lip balm...I'm so glad I gave it a try! An earlier reviewer is right -- putting this on before bed leaves lips wonderfully moisturized and plumped in the morning! And, of course, I love the grapefruit smell. The consistency is a bit thick and thus needs some warming before you apply it, but a little swirling around with a finger is all it takes; and I think the thick consistency is a good thing because when it gets on the lips it doesn't feel sticky at all and seems to soak in nicely. The pale coloring of the grapefruit version is great because I can apply it without a mirror. Took off one star because it's a bit pricy, but otherwise this is a wonderful lip balm!

Pricy, but a great product

Despite the rave reviews I've read here and other places, I'd stayed away from Tarte's cheek stain because of the price. However, I was lucky enough to get a sample mini version in a "gift with purchase" from Beauty.com, and I really do love it. As others have said, it seems sticky at first, but then it seems to "magically" blend into my skin with just a little massaging/blending with my fingers. The color also seems a bit intense at first, but it also tames for a nice blushing, natural look. The only reason I'm not giving this a 10 is the price, if I could afford it, I'd definitely buy a full-size version.

Wonderful consistency , but a little too much color for me

I've got the "Wild Rose" shade of this, and it's a little too much color for me and a little too bright against my fair skin. However, the soft consistency feels great on my lips, so I might try another shade that's a little less intense. I also agree with some others that the pot isn't the best delivery mechanism; I've tried using a brush to apply but fingers do seem to work better, which is unfortunate because it's less hygenic and gets my fingers all red!

Mixed bag

This product does do what it claims, but it's not perfect. The fibers in the primer do add length to my lashes, but the consistency is a bit "goopy" and difficult to work with. The waterproofer is extremely effective, more so than waterproof mascaras I've tried; I've worn it over mascara all day and even in the shower and the mascara hasn't budged. However, in my experience the waterproofer clumps my lashes together and I need to do a lot of brushing after I apply it to make them look more individuated/defined. I like the idea of both of the products included in this item, and they do their jobs, but I wish they were a little easier to use and didn't add other problems.

I actually like this

O-Glow has actually worked really well for me. I'm not sure whether it really reacts with my "personal chemistry" or not (the clear-to-color could just be a gimmick), but I do like the natural and subtle blushing look it gives me. As people have said here it may turn out the same color on everyone, regardless, I like the color. Just remember, you only need a little! The hot pink color I got when first applying it definitely was a little surprising, but after gently blending it in I was very happy with the results and use it nearly every day!
