Until recently this was my favorite deodorant. Which is sad, because it only sort of works. I thought because it is a clear liquid it would be perfect for summer--no more white marks on my clothes! Wrong. It's a clear liquid when it goes on, but when it dries, there's still a bit of white to it. And that bit of white rubs right off (on my strapless dresses, especially). Another thing about that clear liquid? It takes a LONG time to dry. At first I tried being patient and walking around with my arms up in the morning until it dried before putting my clothes on, but it was taking SO long I just didn't have time for that anymore. Instead I would get dressed first, then put on my deodorant. But with that method, most of the liquid would rub off on the insides of my clothes. If you have the patience to put it on first and wait for it to dry, I did find it to be mostly effective. I always stayed very dry and only had the tiniest bit of odor at the end of the day. But if you get dressed while it's still wet, it rubs off on the clothes and doesn't work. I finally started looking for something new and find that I very much prefer Kiehl's. It's a lotion, so there's no waiting for it to dry and because it is absorbed like a lotion, it also doesn't rub off or leave white residue.

I have a sample of this and I'm just not in love with it. I use the Clinique spot treatment gel, which is similar to this, and I like it (the gel, not this) much better. This product calls itself a lotion, but I've found it difficult to spread over my skin. For having "lotion" in the name, I don't find it to be moisturizing AT ALL. I also don't think it works nearly as well as the gel does at treating and preventing acne breakouts. When I went to Sephora to buy a new bottle of the gel, I picked up this gel lotion by mistake and I promptly returned to the store to exchange it for the correct product. I'm just not impressed with this one.

I tried this a few years ago and while I did use it until it was gone, I wasn't terribly impressed with it. I have not and will not buy it again. It does have a strange smell, but that wouldn't have bothered me if I felt like the results were worth it. They weren't. It seemed to clean my skin well enough, but I don't think it did much in the way of preventing breakouts. Though, unlike some other Clinique products I've tried, it also didn't CAUSE any new breakouts. I have since switched to a different cleanser that isn't even specifically meant to prevent acne and yet it does a much better job of doing just that.

I think I reviewed the wrong toner earlier. This is definitely the product I had and I definitely did not like it. It does have an unpleasant scent, which I had forgotten about and also didn't mind that much. I can always forgive a product with a bad fragrance if it works well. This didn't. I had acne breakouts every time I used it and I DIDN'T have any new breakouts when I didn't use it. So it was very clear that this product was doing the exact opposite of what it is meant to do. I gave it to a friend because different things work for different people and I think she had better luck with it.

I've been using this eye cream on and off for a long time. Perhaps it's because of my inconsistent use that I don't really see any amazing effects? I've tried to be better with it the last couple weeks and while it does moisturize nicely, I see no difference in my dark circles or the fine lines around my eyes. I will say it's nice that you barely need any at all, so it lasts a very long time (I'm still working my way through a small sample tube!). I've never tried it on my lips. Perhaps I should give that a try. I might end up liking it better for that purpose.

I've loved the Boscia brand for years but I had to get rid of this cream in the end. It's not too heavy and it doesn't have any unpleasant scent to it. It even moisturizes very well. But I found that it was breaking me out (took a long time and a lot of eliminating one product at a time to figure out what was causing it) and that's a deal breaker for me with a beauty product. My best friend had the same problem with this product (which is why she gave it to me) so I would proceed with caution with this one.

Like many others I had a Sephora sample of this product. It is a lovely green color and has a really great scent. I love the way it feels going on my skin and the way it warms a little while it's on. It also tingled a bit on my skin and after rinsing I would have a little redness for a few minutes after. But once the redness cleared, I was left with soft, beautiful skin. I'm on the fence as to whether I am willing to shell out the cash to try this on the long term (and possibly fall in love with it). But if money were no issue, this product would definitely be a regular part of my skincare routine.

I had been debating for at least a year whether I wanted to invest in this powder or not. I read every review I could find and finally decided it was going to be worth trying, at least. Then I managed to get them at a huge discount last weekend and I was SO EXCITED. I don't understand why they offer two different types of packaging, but I chose the non-cardboard option with the mosaic on the lid that is so beautiful I want to leave it on my bathroom counter 24/7. I chose the 01 shade, as I have pale skin and I wanted this powder to give me a subtle, glowing look. And it does. I use a primer and a pressed powder, then I apply meteorites all over my face. The end result is a beautiful, healthy glow (which, by the way, is great for those days when I may have over-indulged the night before and need to disguise a hangover). I don't sleep well and my health isn't great, but with this powder, I swear you couldn't tell it. The look is VERY subtle, so I think those who want a noticeable highlighter are going to be disappointed. Right now I'm using the meteorites with a brush I already own, but I may eventually try out the brush that is designed to go with them. As much as I love the powder, I can easily see how my softer brush is falling short and a brush with stiffer bristles may make things easier. The scent, as others have mentioned, is very nice as well. I think the container is a bit smaller than I had originally thought it was, but because you don't need much and the powder is tightly condensed into the little balls, I think even with regular use it will last a very long time. Overall, I definitely recommend trying this product.

I like this because it's multi-purpose so it saves some space in my nail polish storage area. It works really well as a base coat, but I do think I've had better for top coats. It's not as shiny as I would like it to be, I think. But used as a base coat and a top coat it does a nice job of helping to prevent chipping, which is my main goal.

I had forgotten all about this lotion until I saw it on here. I LOVE this stuff!! It comes in so many wonderful and delicious scents and the formula is just perfect. It's very light, but still very moisturizing. I definitely recommend these.
