WHen they say it hydrates they are not kidding!!

I have very dry skin that I always have a hard time keeping moisturized enough!! Even pricey brands would no do the trick! On this tube it states if you use this pp balm and your skin remains dry seek medical advise, or something along those lines! That is because if your skin is still dry after this there is more to the problem because this is the BALM, hehehe!! I started by using it after washing my face at night and in the morning but even for my super dry skin 2x per day was too much and I felt my face feel greasy for the 1st time in forever after layering under my makeup, no biggy I just use it at night now and a lighter moisturizer in the day time......which is all I need now thanks to this amazing soothing balm!!! Thank you Bioderma again for amazing skin care products!!!

This bottle is huge!!!! This is truly a family size!! Which I LOVE !! I have been getting onto my teen boys to wash there face with better products and not soap and now we have enough to go around!! I personally use this twice a day, morning and evening and it does remove most of the makeup but I do use a lot of eye makup, lash glue etc. so I use a makeup wipe to get the rest off and finish with bioderma H2O water and lastly finish with the blue tube of moisturizer for dry skin and WOW I am in heaven so far!! The pore refiner is also my best friend :)

They are very short handles, just FYI

I don't know why but I was expecting longer handles on these brushes but for the price I am not going to complain to much :) the handles themselves feel very well made and are heavy, heavier than Wayne Goss brushes (WHAT) yes but his are still better!! The bristles are soft and functional but my main 2 concerns are 1) the brush handles are what you would find on a travel size and do not work for my at my vanity for the way I store my brushes. 2) the shapes of several brushes are just odd: the stipple brush has oddly long hairs and soaked up to much foundation. There is no real fluffy eyeshadow blending brushes?? The one I used for concealer or maybe for packing the lid has almost too fluffy of brushes for these methods. Just take a closer look and you will see.....the larger brushes both are really the same would have been nice to have smaller contour brush instead of two powder brushes that are the same (close enough) last the eyebrow brush or angled brush and lip brush are the most effective and sensible shapes. So all in all they work and they are soft the handles are very nice just to short but I am just not a fan of the brush hair designs in itself, I will stick with Wayne Goss or MAC or even Morphe, sorry. I will keep them though just in case I travel.

Like not Love

This foundation is true the statement of aqua-foundation! It is a light coverage that after 3 full pumps was a light medium coverage, also please keep in mind I have dry skin with minimal blemishes to cover, mainly redness and this was still visible. The other problem I had personally was the color options. I am normally a NC15 and NC25 mixture from MAC Cosmetics and this was way to much of a pink undertone. I contacted Beautylish to see if there was a better shade option to order and return the 113 but was advised this is the lightest shade with the highest yellow undertone available. So what I had to do was mix NC25 two pumps and 1 pump of 113 to make it workable. Will I purchase again probably not but I will use it because it was expensive and I can thin out some thicker formulas if needed :)

Good JOB Wayne!!

On of the softest brushes you will ever feel , I hope he brings them back so others will have the opportunity to enjoy it like us that purchased in time!! These are so close into comparison to the Japanese hand made brushes from Hakuhodo that I am not sure I can tell a difference and so affordable!!

Worth every penny!!

I just love this palette, I have never tried any of ABS eyeshadows and if you have not like me you will be addicted after this!!! This really is a true romantic palette using smokey maroon and brown colors with some shimmers and its just oh so buttery. You have everything you would need for a complete eye look! Lid base, crease color, outer dark smokier colors and shades to accent and lighten or darken the look with! Pigment is awesome if you are used to mac eyeshadows these are just as good. overall a great buy and now I want to try more!!

The Best Brushes Ever!!!

I will not lie when I 1st purchased these I was a little shocked for the price the brushes seemed basic and small, THIS IS NOT THE CASE I guess I was having that bigmac syndrome lol, where they were small so I felt like my money was not spent well I didn't get ENOUGH! After the couple minutes of realization that these are in fact the perfect size for eye shapes and the contour of your cheeks and smoking out under a lash line. Just to give a back story I own a lot of brushes from my old favorite MAC Cosmetics, Sigma, Morphe, Hakuhodo S Series, and Wayne Goss.....don't get me wrong there are several more I would like and will purchase but my go to holy grail brushes are all of my Wayne Goss brushes except for the foundation brush which is great I just prefer a beauty blender. I have people ask me all the time which brush set should I purchase and to be honest I usually stay away from brush SETS as I feel like companies will cut corners to help with production cost but not Wayne I have the set and the airbrush brush and they are equally amazing and the softest brushes you will ever feel other than Hakuhodo but I feel like they might be made by the same company because they are basically THE SAME, and a little more affordable...so to sum, it up if you want a set of investment brushes that will do all of the blending work for you than you need to purchase these like NOW!! I promise you will not be disappointed just be prepared that they are slender brushes.

I really love this product as a blush for my skin tone, its super creamy and your finger just glides across it when doing a swatch same with your brush. The pigmentation is everything you would want it to be in a blusher/ bronzer pigmented just enough without too much so being heavy handed will not be to much of a concern. I used my Wayne goss brushes on these and it worked perfectly. The packaging is heavy and sleek with a full size great quality mirror but very travel friendly. I like how you can choose to use one color or sweep it across all of the shades, overall a great purchase for a beauty user and collector.

Just not strong enough!!!

So this is my second high end purchase on a blow dryer that I will be returning, I don't know what's wrong maybe I am expecting too much but really 150.00 on a travel size blow dryer I expect something!! 1st off the size is the best part, the temp controls are not you have two options of heat and then a cold that at first where confusing because it only states cold on the switch so you have to go all the way up which usually my old blow dryers that's the hottest setting no its the cold setting on this one. the biggest thing is it does not blow dry my hair fast enough at all, I know its mini and not like the average full size but it is just not worth the $$$. My 30.00 drug store blow dryer was slightly bigger and blew stronger hotter air and had more temp control. I am just sad that I am continually disappointed in these high end dryers! I purchased a chi for 90.00 off of amazon and it was horrible, did not get hot enough and didn't blow strong enough......I was worried it was a knock off that's how bad it was so I returned it. So at this point I have no blow dryer and have no idea what to try next??? BTW I have fine thin board straight very long hair, usually not that hard to blow dry.

Not for Me

Okay so I have tried this a couple of times now and I just cannot get used to the applicator. Its like a piece of rubber that when you twist the bottom it dispenses it through a hole in the middle of a slanted tip rubbery thing uhhh its so hard to explain but I do NOT like it! I do not see how people like it so much its almost impossible to not have your liner skip :( maybe I am not qualified to use it, lol. Really its just not great it is a stark black that's why it gets 2 stars. Also it fades very quickly. I will be returning.
