I definitely recommend that you try this out in a store before buying it (unless you're like an expert in choosing the right shade through the web) because I thought I'd need Blondie but it turned out that I needed Nude (I was able to buy this product locally but I first found it online). I'm quite pale (though not the palest pale haha) so I thought I'd need the palest shade but Blondie really is for super-fair-skinned people. I'm definitely a total makeup noob (I'm 19 and this is the first makeup that I've ever bought or used, I decided to give in because I figured that hiding your occasional red spots would feel better than walking around with them and being able to say "I don't ever wear makeup", it's a bit silly) so I'm not sure how credible this review is. Read up on it through other websites to compare with my review. I find that your skin has to be *really* well-hydrated for this concealer to work well. If it's not, the result is flaky and super-obvious. Maybe that's the case with all mineral makeup, I'm not sure, but with this one it is. I will say though that once your skin is well-hydrated and you've applied the concealer, it looks really good and natural! I use their accompanying concealer brush and it's really good as well. I would recommend this concealer if you're okay with having to hydrate your face every single time you're about to apply it.

What I want out of a conditioner is that it should be softening, it should make your ends silkier and smoother. Unfortunately, I don't find this conditioner to be "all that", I really thought it would be. I thought that things would be really great when I first opened the lid and squeezed some out in my palm because the consistency is really nice and thick but unfortunately, it doesn't really do anything... It's better than nothing but not by much. I've tried letting it stay in for like 10-15 minutes while shaving my legs but the effect is only slightly improved. Don't get this unless a hay-ish, non-softening result is what you want. I'll rate this 3 stars because it's not terrible (as in ruining your hair or feeling like you've just put on water) but it definitely has a long way to being okay, which I would define as 5 stars. I will be using all that's in it but I won't purchase it again.

I'm very cautious about which ingredients products contain, it is important to me that they're not harmful to the body nor the environment. I had been searching for a long time online to find a facial cleanser that I would feel good about using. This is so pure, the only thing "chemical" about it is the coco-glucoside which is super gentle, it is what creates the little tiny bubbles when you use this. It sticks to your skin when you apply it, it feels very smooth and slightly thick but once you add a few drops of water it suds a bit and it feels like a joy to use! :) This bottle will last a long while because you don't need much the clean the whole face, maximum 1 pump and even a half would do the job just fine, I'll start pumping just halfway through. I think this cleanser is best for normal to oily skin, even though it is non-irritating and gentle, the gentlest of skin (dry) would probably be stripped of oils a little too much. Don't get me wrong though, it isn't stripping, ugh, this is so hard to explain. It gets rid of makeup easily and removes excess sebum, but if your skin doesn't secrete a lot of sebum to begin with, this might be drying. THAT'S what I meant! :) All in all, it's a great facial cleanser, one I feel really good about using.
