This lipstick is fabulous! Besides having the most adorable packaging I've ever seen for a lipstick(shiny metallic pink case with a faux diamond on top,and cute retro logo) this lipstick has a light satiny smooth feel and just the right touch of sparkle. It has good coverage but still has a light almost sheer look to it. I love that it has shea butter in it. It also has champagne essence. I don't know what that is suppose to do but it does make you feel like you are using the most luxurious lipstick ever. I want one of these in every color!

After searching and searching for a tinted moisturizer that had some ability to even out my skin tone a little bit I found this wonder product. While it doesn't say oil free it does say "non comedogenic" and it has worked fine for my somewhat oily skin. It goes on smoothly, smells fantastic, and makes my skin look a thousand percent better than a moisturizer with no tint or coverage. This is so perfect for days when I just don't want to fool with foundation etc. I wish I could have found this before I wasted so much money on products which aren't half this great.

In a world with a Ka-Jillion powders that are pretty much all alike, this product is a refreshing change. I apply it over my foundation with a big fluffy brush and for such little effort I am rewarded with luminous glowing highlights with just a hint of various color pigments. This isn't an evening only glittery sparkle powder but an anytime you want just an extra touch of glam with a slight hint of shimmer. When I want a lighter make-up look I use it as blush but most days I just brush it all over. I can't say enough good things about this powder.

This clear top coat delivers! It goes on like silk and dries in a few seconds. I have never found a "real" polish that did this ( all the fast dry preps I've used before were sort of thin and oily) This provides a brilliant shine over your nail color and dries hard enough so that smudging doesn't happen. I will keep this on hand and definitely re-purchase as needed. Highly recommended!

This clear polish goes on nicely. It is neither too thin or too thick a formulation. I have used it by itself and as a basecoat. So far I haven't noticed that it does anything special at all. It chipped badly the first day I wore it. In order to use "Miracle Cure" more often than every few days, I would have to remove it using polish remover which would probably dry out my nails and make them even worse. I was hoping this would sort of seal my nail edges where they are splitting and tearing, but so far this hasn't been the case. I will keep using it as it is a nice base coat.

I like the medium to light summery fragrance of Ralph Rocks. I can't pick out any one single fruit but a general fruitiness prevails. It also has a little bit of a candy sweet smell to me. It reminds me of going to an amusement park in summer, or having a springtime picnic. It won't be one of my all-time favorites but it is a nice change of pace fragrance. I think the bottle is hideous though.

This is a nice loose powder with a hint of sparkle. Not a knock your socks off,look like your going to a disco sparkle, but just enough to catch the light once in a while...a nice amount for someone my age who still wants that extra something but doesn't look good with a lot of flash. I like the fact that it comes in transluscent or shades with a little color. This powder acts as a traditional powder...meaning that it does not provide any makeup type coverage that some of the new powders that can be worn as light foundation do( such as Halo by Smashbox). I didn't notice any "skin smoothing" effect from the ceramides, but it is a nice powder. Forget the puff that it comes with and use a good brush.

This product is simply an oil that is brushed(applicator brush is attatched to the lid of the bottle)on the cuticles. The oil stays on the cuticles nicely. This will make your fingertips have an oily shine so it is best to apply at night or when you're staying home. It is a good product for the price.

I am thrilled to finally have a moisturizer I can use with my very oily skin. This absorbs quickly and leaves a nice matte texture on which to apply make-up. It provides good hydration with absolutely no greasiness. I have been searching for a product like this my whole life!

I had never heard of this product but discovered it as I was browsing at the drugstore. I'm always looking for something to give my hair extra volume and this mousse was a wonderful surprise. It not only gives lots of volume, but it is one of the few products I've found that doesn't make my hair feel dirty and sticky if not washed out at the end of the day. You can actually comb through your hair eight hours later as well! The only thing that could make it better would be a nice scent. This doesn't smell bad, it just has no scent at all.
