I am definitely in the minority, and my skin must really be sensitive--but I get instant burn and pain. I got this in Boxycharm. I've tried it three times, a few weeks apart, thinking maybe I was just sensitive from something I recently used. But each time it just burned so bad,and it just feels so rough. I just can't do it. I try to use it for about a minute, and my skin does …Read more
I received this in my recent (and very first) Boxycharm. I was actually disappointed to see it in the box, and thought I would not like it. (Not much a fan of facial oils in the past.) After just a few days of use, I am amazed. I am a Retin-A user, mature skin, still struggling with acne as well. I get flaky patches from the Retin-A, and it really messes with my makeup. I started using this …Read more
I have really given this a fair chance. I used it over an extended period of time, and on several different types of blemishes. I initially purchased it to treat a very large, cystic type blemish that was hiding out beneath my skin on my chin. It hurt, and it just wouldn't either go away, or come to the surface. This device mentions treating inflammation, and getting beneath the skin. …Read more
I'm really, really surprised that I ended up liking this. I got in the deal Tarte has periodically where you get 7 or so full size items for around $63. This was what I decided to try this time. I always thought this would be too heavy and too dry for me. My skin has always been combination, but is getting dryer as I get older, and I also can get dry patches from Retin A. I am really …Read more
These are a slippery, rather than sticky gloss. So if that is your preference, you might love these. My issue with glosses that are more slippery is that they lack staying power. I find these wear off very quickly. However, they are very pretty while they are on the lips. ( I think Revlon had a product very similar to these some years ago, I think they were called Lip Glides. I bought these …Read more
This did not work for me. It would not remove Benefit's "They're Real" at all, and I did not have much luck with Lancome's Monsieur Big waterproof, either. Those were the only two I tried, because those are the two I am currently using. I actually threw this remover away, because after about a week of trying to make this work, I was so mad that's about all I …Read more
I just recently re-purchased this in the transparent version after having not used it for a couple of years. I have so many powders in my makeup collection, and I kind of forgot about this. I forgot how good it actually is. I like this better than other powders I have, no matter the price. It really adds a finished look to my makeup. I only use it lightly to set my makeup, and it really …Read more
I don't use a micellar water daily, but I do like to have one on hand at all times. This is a very good one, in my opinion. I find that it is very gentle. I don't get any burning, stinging or irritation. It removes makeup well, and doesn't leave an oily residue behind. You get a decent sized bottle for the price, and I think it is a good value. It removes most brands of …Read more
I bought into the hype, too. I just don't feel the love that many others do. My biggest issue is how bad it oxidizes, no matter what moisturizer or primer I use with it. It looks like it is going to be too light when I am applying it. By the time I am done applying all of my makeup, it looks just about right. But then when I look at myself later in the day, I look ridiculous. I also …Read more
This is my first MAC lipstick, and I LOVE it! I bought it online, during Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty. The color wasn't exactly what I was expecting, I thought it was going to be more brownish toned. It's got more of a pinky tone mixed in, I guess I would call it. But it's just perfect! I rarely find a lipstick that I think "If I had to wear the same lipstick color …Read more
