I never really tried the previous formula but for a good reason. The shade range was always so limited. No matter how much the collection tried to convince the consumer that it was meant to blend into your skin naturally, CoverGirl products always used to leave me very peachy or cool toned which is the complete opposite of my golden base. I am an NC40 in Mac, which is very yellow. I found a good fit with my m5 shade which is nearly detectable. I also like that it is very sheer which is a contrast from the 3 in 1 formula they have so you end up having more options. As for staying power, I would have to say I went approximately about 4-5 hours before touch up. If you have oily to combination skin, setting is a must. I found the shiniest areas to be around my nose, cheeks, forehead and chin - yes, the t-zone. For the price, it isn't so bad but there definitely could be some major improvements with staying power. I would give it a six and a half rather than a 7 if I could, but I do find this to be my go to product if I'm in a rush in the morning for quick errands and then back home. A pump, sometimes pump and half is usually all I need for my entire face and neck. It almost feels like a tinted moisturizer.

I subscribed to their subscription service. I received three different polishes so I thought I was in for a real treat. Unfortunately, it didn't exactly end up that way. The texture is thick. I was impressed. I thought that it would dry and harden. However, 45 minutes later, the polish was still very pliable. Now, I see little nicks and fingerprints after feeling the polish ever so lightly. The colors are beautiful but for the price point, I definitely expected way better.

While it is true that this is the mildest of the clarifying lotion stages, this is also an alcohol free formula which basically means it's safe to use on any skin type regularly and frequently. The minimal amount of salicylic acid basically contributes to some blemish control but can still irritate those who are sensitive to the additive because it can be an abrasive or drying component still for skin that needs to be babied. This is somewhat of a gel mixture with liquid applied to the face and it actually reminds me of just a skin refresher and a regular toner which does serves it purpose of preparing the skin for moisturizer to be absorbed and balancing out the levels in the skin after a wash. Still, you can find a better value at mass retail stores for comparable formulas.

Fear and curiousity certainly played tennis with my urge to try this. While alcohol can be such an enemy to both dry and oily skin, this has an amount that has been cooperating with mine. With an airy, fresh feeling all over my skin, I can even notice a clarity after a couple weeks. My dull skin had lessened in the burden of blackheads and blotchiness I usually dread. It's not a miracle worker but a nurse to maintain a good balance for the skin, giving it an uplift in it's regeneration of cells. I finally found a toner that I may not turn my back on.

You know, I've never been fond of anything sticking to my skin and ripping it off because it reminds me of bandages that have melted and adhered so that it can be excruciating to remove. Fortunately, this is milder than that except around my hair line so don't get this product near it because it'll tug quite well and it hurts! The formula comes out as a gel paste, thick and creamy, and dries to a film that you have to peel off. The thicker the application, the longer to dry but when you remove it, you'll find that it had taken away dead skin cells for better renewal and those dreadful blackheads! I just didn't like pulling it off and feeling some of the stinging because it does cling well after it has dried. But in this case, no pain - no gain! I must admit though the scent was not very appetizing but the results are well worth withstanding the odor and nor it is really too bothersome.

I wouldn't exactly call this an exfoliating body wash because the beads are hardly numerous enough to get around once this slathers onto the skin which actually can benefit sensitive skin like Dove products really tend to. My experience with this is that it doesn't overdry the skin like many other scrubs or exfoliating formulas do in the market and the scent is clean, not overpowering. The lather works great because it isn't too thick in formulation making the scrub beads actually able to buff around a bit. Using this with a loofah or a bath pouf will help the exfoliation better by buffing off the top layer of dead skin cells that the beads can not and it leaves my skin feeling smooth and clean.

This has a price you can't refuse so why not try it? I'm glad I did. For about three to five dollars, this box delivered the same quality hair dye that even the expensive ones deliver but the catch? It drips. You'd have to surround floors and surfaces with protective barriers like newspapers or plastic, anything that will keep things from staining because this one is so much more fluid than cream that it will splat anywhere and everywhere and drip from your locks. The conditioner is in a baggie instead of a tube which I wish was contained in a tube because that would mean more uses out of it and no leakage but regardless, the conditioner only provided me one use for my long hair anyway. I found that if this gets on skin that it will stain more than any other hair dye I've gotten on me and far more difficult to remove so be very careful! It didn't leave my hair feeling damaged like other certain hair dyes have in the past but that doesn't mean this doesn't do any damage at all because all dyes and any chemical treatment will do so to hair no matter what. But after washing off the dye and conditioning, I like that my hair felt soft and could be easily styled because it wasn't so dried out that it would frizz up and basically be hard to manage. This is definitely more bang for your buck.

One word. Caustic. This formula is an astringent meaning that it contains more alcohol than a toner does and my sensitive skin turned bright red after using this. Two days later, my skin began to flake and peel immensely that I couldn't conceal any patches of dried skin. It was a terrible feeling and sight that my skin was shedding and it overdried my oily skin which means this is too harsh. If you have any acne or broken skin, this will painfully aggravate your skin as it is not gentle at all. I also found the scent of the formula very much similar to an old stocked medicine cabinet. Don't damage your skin by saturating and drying it with alcohol, stick to something that contains less of alcohol and more gentle ingredients. I'd steer clear of important events if I were anyone trying this out the first time as it makes skin look uncontrolled. Don't put it near my skin!

This is a great sheen lipgloss that can be layered over lipstick or worn alone and will not cause chapped lips. This is a very chic tube of lipgloss and high quality formula that will not fade in a few minutes, it does last through out the day with minimal touch ups. I enjoy their various colors and a hint to making the most out of it is applying it in the middle of your lips and spreading it outwards from there and then adding a lighter shade or a clear shade in the middle and press your lips for an instant plumping pout. A tube of this lasts me months because a little bit does go a long way and it's not a formula that is overly gloppy and dry, sticky, or feathering.

For a salon product, I would expect to see a difference. However, I did not other than just the feeling of softness. This did add softness but at the end of the shower and a brush later, I found my hair more frizzier than it usually compared to the shampoo/conditioner I was already using. This does have a light pleasant scent that isn't overpowering but I wouldn't say this is the greatest product in the market but it would depend on your hair type. I already have long straight, moderately frizzy hair and I use smoothing or silkening conditioners to nourish and maintain and decrease the frizz. The texture is similar to a facial cream and it does coat the hair well almost like a mask but after rinsing it, the properties of this product didn't have a lasting effect on my hair and wasn't able to withstand humid weather conditions.
