I cant believe I have not written a review about this product. I've been using this for the pass month or two and I love it! It is expensive for me, but I'll still buy it again just because it looks good on me and I have no problem with it. Before this, I used Bobbi Brown's creme foundation, which works good, but I prefer Jane Iredale's powder. I have dry skin, yet my skin can get a bit oily, however with the right cleanser and moisturizer that I use, this product is great for me!

I got this because of great reviews. I have fine hair and this does nothing to my hair. Maybe because I am doing it wrong with this product. I've used this a couple of times and still see no great results. I usually use Big Sexy Hairspray to give my hair volume/boost and its works great, so I'm going to stick with this.

I usually use Bobbi Brown's gel eyeliner. I started using this because of great reviews and I really love this eyeliner! It goes on faster, compare to Bobbi Brown's gel eyeliner it takes time for me to apply on to my eyelids. I got this as a swap and I'm so glad that I got it. I have the M black and ME black, I have not use the ME black yet.

People on here complained about stinging their eyes, well not for me...probably because i dont use it as eye/makeup remover, plus i dont apply it around the eyes. i have dry skin and this does make my skin stay balance. i have the moisturizer as well and i love it. my face feels soft, does not feel dry or greasy looking when putting the moisturizer. I do the cleansing and moisturizing every night because thats when i take a shower and the next morning, my face feels good..and just plain normal!

Hair Styling Tools -Conair - 1 1/2 inch Hot Air Curling Iron and Brush
rated 5 of 5

Just bought this recently, and used it on my hair today...love it. I have fine hair. I first use Big Sexy Hairspray on my wet/damp hair, then I use the Conair, after all this it gives me the volume that i need. What I love most about this, it is a 2-in-1 deal: blowdryer and curling iron all in ONE.

Bought this at Costco for a real good value/deal! Comes in a variety of brushes along with this tube looking holder for brushes, real cute! The brushes works wonderful. The foundation/powder brush works great! I use it on my Jane Iredale, and my skin looks flawless. Brushes are real soft and does not shed at all. I have this for months now and still GOOD! This is a must have!

Liquid -Cover Girl - TruBlend

I'm using this for my first time, and so far, so good. I usually use Bobbi Brown's creme foundation, but because its $40, I wasnt sure if I want to spend another $40 due to other expenses. I am using Trublend's classic beige and it matches with my skin color. You cant tell if I am wearing any of it. I would buy it again just because it is way inexpensive and because it looks good.

Moisturizers -Clinique - Superdefense SPF 25 Age Defense Moisturizer: dry-combination skin
rated 2 of 5

When applying this on, it definitely made my face feel not so dry, however, it leaves a greasy/shiny look. I have to apply powder to not make my face so shiny/oily looking. I would not buy this again.

Crème -Bobbi Brown - Get Even Cream to Powder Compact Foundation
rated 4 of 5

I have asian skin color, light skinned, and the color that I use is a perfect match with my skin color. My skin is dry, but can get a bit oily. When I put Clinique's moisturizer for dry skin, it gives me a oily/shiny looking face, so whenI apply on the creme foundation on top of that, my face just looks less oily, so I would say that this creme foundation is good for people with dry/normal skin. However, this does cover the redness and the dark circles under my eyes. This does feel light and does not look cakey on my skin.
