That works! The first time I used it I could feel my lips getting happier...by the next morning they were smooth, soft, and plump, instead of dry, flaky, and dull. Hurrah! I use the tinted version, hue no. 30G, which is a pretty, fresh, universally flattering berry color. I love layering it with Clinique's Almost Lipstick in Black Honey for a pretty, polished, super moisturizing lip coctail.

This multitasking gel keeps your skin soft and clear, doubles as a luxurious shampoo, and has such a deep, woodsy, clean scent; its completely different on my skin than the spray or oil version of the fragrance, but layers perfectly, and leaves a subtle hint of musky goodness all day. You don't get a lot for your money, so its certainly a luxury purchase, but given its versatility, totally worth the splurge!

This is a brilliant concept, and is, for the most part, brilliantly executed....Sunscreen that doubles as a soft focus, oil blotting mineral powder. I simply use it as a finishing powder over my entire face and decolletage, throw it in my bag, and hit the street. Could anything be easier? However, the built in brush is coarse and sheds big black hairs all over my face and clothes every time I use it, and the texture of the powder itself could certainly be finer...it leaves my skin feeling a little grainy. A few refinements, and this could easily be the best thing ever.

I layer this over Neutrogena bath oil when I need a little extra hydration, especially in the drier winter months. Despite the label, there is nothing oily or heavy about this dreamy, light as air body cream. It leaves my rough, bumpy skin smooth, silky, and delicately scented with the softest blend of almond milk and brown sugar all day long!

Dark, lush, dramatic Bambi lashes with one quick coat. I find that if I try to do a second coat it gets pretty clumpy, but since the first coat is so gorgeous, it doesn't bother me. I did not experience any flaking, but I use a super hydrating eye cream, which might make a difference. If dry skin doesn't take makeup well, maybe the same principle applies to dry lashes? Anyway, I love this...it gives me wide awake, gorgeous eyes with minimal effort. :)

The people of Earth will have realized that this is the most bewitchingly modern, elegant, earthy, ancient, compelling, clean, and seductive scent in the world, and no one will even think of wearing anything else. We'll all wander around in a decadent cloud of Khiel's Original Musk, and everyone will be happy and gorgeous and falling in love all over the place. It's that good. I discovered this completely on accident, after years of hating perfume. This somehow manages to be crisp, fresh, and subtle, yet musky, lush, and indescribably sexy at the same time. It smells slightly different and equally marvelous on everyone, and is never irritating or overpowering, even to the most sensitive noses. I will simply never buy anything else.

I personally am madly in love with this product, for two reasons; one, it's science! Yay! And two, it actually does look gorgeous on EVERYONE, if you use it appropriately. I find that just a dab will do, applied directly to the apple of the cheek. Too much does indeed result in a candy pink barbie flush, so just squeeze out a tiiiiiny bit. You can always add more. Blend thoroughly with fingertips for a fresh, natural, just been kissed glow. For those who struggle with blending this product over makeup, try applying on bare or just moisturized skin. It's designed to react with your skin's chemistry to stimulate bloodflow, resulting in a natural flush, so you want it as close to your skin as possible. Then, layer foundation and powder. You will find that the effects still come through beautifully, and it will have real staying power. Happy glowing!

The utter goodness of this classic moisturizer is simply indescribable. I remember my mother using it, and my grandmother...the subtle, musky, clean sesame scent immediately takes me to my happy place, and the light delicate formula leaves my sensitive, bumpy skin smooth and perfectly hydrated all day long. While using a body oil on sensitive, bumpy, acne prone skin sounds counterintuitive, this seems to sink right in to balance and soothe away roughness and blemishes. I use this in combination with Neutrogena's Advanced Solutions Acne Control Body Wash (avail. in a kit; buy it now!)to keep my skin at peace. During the harsh winter months, I often layer this under a moisturizing cream (try Bliss Body Butter or Aveeno Creamy Moisturizing Oil), especially on my arms and legs, but for summer it is the perfect light, dreamy moisturizer.

I 'stole" my grandma's tube of Black Honey when I was ten, and I've never looked back! I believe in high quality skincare and looking polished and pretty, but I'm not a big makeup junkie, so this multitasking, effortless product really works for me. The color in this is so sheer and universally flattering, it can be applied all day and never seem brash or muddy. It translates a little differently on everyone, but always looks fresh, pretty, and sophisticated. The base is luxuriously moisturizing and never sticky, and the tube seems to last forever, so its a great value.

But, when I got this as a sample from Sephora, I was a little skeptical. So thick...so...balmy! After all, I have classic combination skin; easily clogged pores, occasional pimples, and annoying itchy flakes. But since their YlangYlang balancing oil had worked wonders on my redness, I decided to give it a go, couterintuitiveness be damned. I warmed a little in my palm and smoothed it on before bed, and immediately noticed how quickly it sank into my skin...in the morning I was simply radiant! My dry patches were gone, my skin was calm and velvety smooth, and there was not a single blackhead in sight. Best of all? This product is so concentrated and effective that that tiny sample tube lasted almost two months!
