As a former Elizabeth Arden foundation fan who then tried to love Laura Mercier's foundation but couldn't- I find the Lancome Photogenic line refreshingly light & just right. Seems to have medium coverage & blend in easily- to me it is unobtrusive, non-cakey & a nice fluid texture with a good consistency that spreads just right & is slightly clingy, but not cakey. Love the SPF & the line smoothing properties. I don't know what more it could do, if that makes sense. Flattering real world colors also.

My #1 body butter, period. Of all time, end stop. Seriously. I long for this when I don't have it in the house! Fast absorbing, skin loving exactly as advertised super supreme body butter. Great texture- a bit pricey, and worth every penny. Plays a great supporting role- sealing in prior shower treatments etc. without injecting extra scent. I consider this one in the "precious" category! :D

Wonderfully sensual, leaves skin feeling actually plush & cushioned with uber moisture to spare. Just creates a lovely, dewy texture that can't be replicated. A total feel good just stepped out of an expensive spa feel. And well-priced. Highly recommended. Just one tiny flaw, the scent is nothing to write home about & could be something more compelling. On the other hand, you can't complain about something that does its core job- ultra silkening- so utterly well.

A strong favorite, something I look forward to using as a treat. I'd prefer this in a tube for ease of use, but love the scent & texture. It's quite mild as far as scrubs go, but pleasant & effective all the same, with high quality ingredients. A repurchase, something I think of as a splurge.

Buy it for the name, love it for the skin-loving peptides! Love the way this leaves my skin feeling. I'm a little torn about this one, though I really appreciate what it does. I've repurchased three times. However, in the end, to me this formulation could be thicker & more concentrated & perhaps the packaging rethought. I tore through this at a ridiculously rapid rate- but in comparison to say the smaller tube of Shiseido I have which lasts for 6-8 months, it's just not a good value. Hoping they reformulate & make it more concentrated. A shame, as I do like it.

Hands down, the best drug store facial scrub for the money. Likely to be your introduction to exfoliation as a skincare step. Nicely scrubby, pleasingly scented & a good entry level gritty exfoliator.

My skin tone is very pale, and when I got "Warmth" as part of the kit designed for light skin, I thought such a deep, dark, warm cocoa shade was completely ridiculous. I didn't use it with the rest of the kit, which I eventually used up. Then, before tossing it or giving it away, I gave "Warmth" a whirl. What a fool I was- I could have had this lovely undertone all this time. This was my introduction to subtle bronzing, in a way. I definitely added this to the mix & it provides wonderful depth & dimension that I miss if I don't use it. I like to apply this from a bit more upward of an angle, from the sun's perspective, than straight on, for a slight healthy glow. Just as with any mineral makeup, application can be messy. I'm authentically fond of this product, it's a keeper.

Lovely color "Rose Radiance" gives a light touch of color & slight glimmer, providing a true glow. Have repurchased twice, not generally a blush user however this is a subtle product that is fun, if a bit messy, to apply. The only flaw is that I wish the lid of the container somehow protruded more to give more of a surface to swirl & tap the kabuki brush (which you will need to purchase separately) on, to avoid the messiness that comes with mineral makeups.

Lackluster & seemingly pointless product. Did not like the texture or consistency, for me, it brought nothing whatsoever to the table, sorry. Even used in conjunction with certain cosmetics from this line, some of which I do appreciate and have even repurchased, Skin Rev-er Upper seems more like a marketing gimmick than a serious skincare product. Difficult to take seriously.

Near miraculous coverage that blends beautifully. Very long lasting both to wear, and also in terms of how long the precious little pot lasts. Nicely sized, tuckable into the smallest of bags or pockets. The only concealer on the market I've eagerly repurchased. It always sounds like an exaggeration when people say, "I wouldn't be without this." However, in this case, it's true, this belongs with wonder products. Remember to change out the little round pad once in awhile with one of your own.
