It does work to exfoliate, however I have really awful chapped lips sometimes and it doesn't stand up to that when my lips get really bad. For everyday exfoliation, it's a good product. It feels like sugar granules mixed into a minty toothpaste like gel. It feels very nice and it has grape seed oil, aloe and cocoa butter (all are good for moisturizing) however I think in the future, I'll just try rubbing sugar across my lips or just rubbing my dry lips on a tissue. That also seems to work.

It's gentle for my sensitive, overly worked up skin. It's not greasy at all and it doesn't leave any weird residue which makes me want to wash it off. In fact, it does leave the area a bit soft like there is a bit of moisturizer in it which is an even better benefit, I don't have to immediately slap on more lotion after using the product. It removes makeup well and even waterproof makeup comes off with this product, although you have to work at it a little bit more with a tissue. I usually don't use makeup remover, I usually just wash it off in the shower, but when I do, this is a great product to use. It's also not very expensive which is another plus.

This has a nice feel to it. It's not too creamy but not waxy like a balm. I have some of the darker colors and they show up very well. It's a lot more pigmented than I thought. The color does fade away but since this isn't terribly expensive I don't feel guilty putting it on more frequently than a long lasting lipstick. It makes my lips feel soft which is nice.

I like this formula because it has petroleum in it to seal in moisture. But it's not as greasy as straight up petroleum which is nice. It's heavy duty stuff. It's great for the winter. A little goes a long way also with this cream so it lasts a long time. I also feel less irritated with this cream than other lotions and creams so it's good for sensitive skin.

It really does make your hands soft and actually absorbs into the skin rather than sits on top of it. The smell is a little strange to me which is the only thing I don't like about it. It has a "I can't quite place it" smell which reminds me of something with a little menthol in it. I use it at night before I sleep. Wear cotton gloves and in the morning, your hands will be so soft. I even use it on my boyfriend's rough hands!

I like Clinique's Long Pretty Lashes for really lengthening my lashes and so I tried this one day. It's a good everyday mascara, but for the price, I think you could get a cheaper mascara and it would be just as good. It does flake by the end of the day and sometimes it ends up under my eye a little bit which isn't so great. But putting a little bit of powder under the eye can help stop that from happening. It does make my lashes noticeably thicker and blacker which doesn't seem possible because I already have black lashes, but it's a good thing. And it's really easy to remove so you don't have to lose lashes. The price is a bit of a bummer especially in times of economic crisis but if you like other Clinique mascaras, then you'll probably like this one.

I had this eyeshadow in a shade of Aqua. It didn't take much for the product to show up which was nice, you get more bang for your buck. However, it does disappear after a while so it's not the longest lasting product out there. It blends well which is a plus and it does have a little bit of shimmer to it which I was alright with, but maybe others would prefer a more matte shade. There are a variety of colors which is nice also.

I have awfully dry skin so much that I have to use Aquaphilic cream (which is heavy duty stuff) everyday. In addition to that, I have tried tons of lotions and most are just average and don't last very long. This lotion is fantastic. It has a nice light smell and seems to be more humectant than other lotions that just evaporate from skin after a few hours. It also hasn't irritated my skin which is another problem I find with many lotions. It's not greasy and it doesn't evaporate quickly. It makes my skin really soft and I really recommend this lotion. It's great!

I love the colors these shadows come in (although they are limited) and I have several. They wear well and seem to be decently pigmented so you don't have to use a ton of product for it to show up. It lasts hours and hours although not the entire day. They blend very well which is nice and they don't crease nearly as much as some other eyeshadows I have used. They do crease a little bit by the end of the day but if you use a base, then it won't crease at all.

I'm a mascara addict so I've tried tons of mascaras, from department store brands to drugstore brands. I found this mascara was good, but nothing extraordinary. It wore well and I don't have a problem with raccoon eyes or flaking with this mascara. I don't think the brush is amazing or the formula either, but if you want a good solid mascara, this works well. It's good for every day use. If you want super long lashes however, try another mascara like Lash Discovery by Maybelline or Long Pretty Lashes by Clinique.
