Perfect for me!
Posted: Tue, 9/29/2009 - 12:40 pm
"I LOVE this product! It's by far the best mascara I've found on the market in a long, long time. The genetic gods (thanks, mom) smiled on me when it came to my eyelashes. I've been blessed with long lashes that don't require a ton of help. The downside of this is that most traditional mascara wands tend to get tangled up in my lashes so the application isn't smooth and my lashes end up looking clumpy. I don't have any of the above mentioned problems with this new mascara from BE. The wand is easy to control and applies just enough product in all the right places. The formula doesn't clump, streak or smear. It gives my lashes some extra "oomph" without the tarantula eye effect. It's a keeper in my book for sure!"

mixed opinions

"First, the pros. I loved the consistency of this moisturizer. It goes on smooth and blends flawlessly into the skin without looking streaky or blotchy. It did a great job of evening out my skin tone enough that I felt covered without looking cakey. As a moisturizer, it left my skin feeling very soft. The SPF is a huge bonus, too. The one thing I didn't much care for in this product was the "illuminating" property. Instead of a glow, I felt like I looked shiny. I do have fairly oily skin which doesn't help any. For me, something with a bit more of a mattifying property would probably work much better."

smells better on than in the bottle

"I found this product in my mom's bathroom when I was visiting and decided to check it out. When I took a sniff from the bottle I thought it smelled like old lady perfume and teased my mom mercilessly for liking it. About a week later I decided to actually give it a try. My opinion immediately did a 180. The smell turns fresh and floral when used in the shower, but not perfumey at all the way I expected. It lathers nicely as is customary for philosophy shower gels and I love the consistency. Not only did I use it as a shower gel, but also as a shaving gel. My skin felt soft afterward with just a hint of fragrance."

good for shaving

"I had a coupon for this so I picked it up at Walgreens. It's really creamy and moisturizing. I used it as a body cleanser and a shaving cream at the same time. My skin felt fresh and I got a close shave so it definitely serves both purposes well. The only thing I didn't care for is the perfumey scent. I plan to purchase this again in the winter when my skin is extra dry."

great set, great value

"It's no secret that I love Bare Escentuals. Their kits are one reason. This collection is yet another winner in that area for me. The colors are perfect for summer. They're shimmery, but not glittery. The blush and lipgloss are both versatile shades that pretty much anyone can wear. The straw clutch is adorable and the perfect size to use as a makeup case or a purse. I did take away 1 star because I'm not in love with this brush and because I prefer the regular mineral veil to the hydrating. Both have a nice feel for the skin. The original mineral veil does a better job of neutralizing my oily skin and this brush doesn't apply the products as flawlessly as I'd like"

gets the oil out

"This is a great product that saves me time. It also saves my hair from being stripped from too frequent of washing. Every other day, I skip the washing and conditioning in favor of the Rub Out cleanser. I spray a liberal amount all over my hair, comb through and let sit for about 5 minutes. Then, style as desired. My hair stays oil-free all day. The downsides that made me take a star away are that a) it doesn't smell that great straight from the can (but the ickyness doesn't linger) and b) I seem to go through it quickly which can get expensive."

just the right amount of color

"The BE all over face colors are part of my everyday routine, right after my foundation. I use a light brush (flawless face brush by BE) and, as the name implies, apply them all over my face. I've tried nearly every shade. My favorites are Glee and True. They add a really lovely, natural glow to my skin without being overly pigmented. You can also apply these a little more heavily for use as a blush."

silky smooth

"I bought this to use in conjunction with the Alba Pineapple Enzyme Cleanser and Hibiscus Flower Toner. Together, they make a great regimen for my fairly oily, acne prone skin. If I don't moisturize, my skin gets very dry and flaky. Several moisturizers I've tried in the past have made my face even more oily. Not this one! Just a little dab goes on smooth and keeps my skin feeling soft all day. I love the light consistency and the fresh, subtle scent. A huge bonus for me with this line is that it's free of the bad chemicals and synthetics that I've been working hard to avoid in my beauty products."

tropical retreat in a bottle

"This is a truly great facial cleanser. The pineapple scent makes me feel like I'm taking a tropical vacation every time I was my face. Thankfully, it isn't too strong and doesn't linger so I'm not left smelling like a fruit tray. The pump dispenses a smooth, light gel. As emalove said, it doesn't foam up like some other cleansers because it isn't loaded down with artificial junk. This product leaves my face feeling silky and smooth all day. I have mostly oily skin and have found this cleanser to work wonders with keeping that at bay."

great for guys, too

"My husband typically shies away from anything in my beauty arsenal, but he gave this a try at the W hotel during our trip to San Francisco and ended up loving it. He used it on both his body and face and said he liked the way his skin felt and the way the soap smelled. I used it for body and he's right. It left my skin feeling softer than most bar soaps I've tried. The scent is light and heavenly."
