Good light moisturizer with soothing rose smell

This has the loveliest subtle rose scent to it! Although I'm in my 20s, I have VERY dry skin, so it isn't moisturizing enough for me in colder weather, but in spring and summer, I love this cream. I do think it is "brightening", and my mood is definitely "brightened" when I use it, thanks to the sweet smell.

Smells great, moisturizes well

I actually have this mask exclusively for long-haul flights. Whenever I'd have to fly for longer than 10 hours or so, I noticed I'd get off the plane looking extremely tired, dry, and wrinkly. Which was fine, except when I was meeting someone in the airport, or if I had plans to go out later. So now!! I put a layer of this on my face when I get on the plane, and enjoy the fruity smell of happiness -- or, coconut, same thing. Before we land, I wipe it off with a makeup removal wipe, and my skin feels moisturized and bouncy and fresh :D Great product!

Elegant everyday palette for cool-toned skin

I have this in the Glamour Muse. OK. So the purple shadow is kinda subtle. It's kinda like--a crusty cream shadow??--and I recommend using a sponge-tip applicator or your finger. But I really do like it, and the palette as a whole. I think overall it's definitely a good elegant everyday palette for my skin tone. I can imagine wearing it to school, the office, a dinner date. It has a mature vibe and it's not too loud.

...If you're looking for something BOLD, or to wear out to the club, I wouldn't recommend this particular palette to you :)

Pretty packaging, amazing product!

I have pale, cool-toned skin, and this blush in 300 is so perfect!! It looks kinda fuschia-ish in the pan, but when it's on your cheek it's just like a rose-colored flush. The product is really pigmented when you swirl your brush in it, so you don't have to use much product, and it stays on my cheeks all day!! Not "shimmery", but not 100% matte, either. It's my favorite blush ever, and I'll definitely buy more colors soon!!

May be effective, but stings!

I wanted something to minimize my fine lines and undereye circles, and I think it was doing an OK job of moisturizing and treating them. For some reason, though, it really stung my eyes!! Even if I made sure to keep the cream very far from my eyes, it was like the scent wafted up into them and burned them. I didn't see this in any of the reviews online, so maybe it's just my problem...

Easy application, good wear time, cute colors

I was working in a middle school with a pretty strict dress code, so I was looking for a cute but subtle color that wouldn't draw too much attention. 306 was perfect!! It's a cute, sparkly peachish shade. I usually paint one coat, and it just sort of tints my nails so they look a little more "alive" and shiny.

I can usually go 3~4 days without any chipping. It does have the signature Anna Sui rosey smell, so if you're not into that, be warned!!

YESS

This has ruined all other body moisturizers for me! I like the guava scent the best, but it's been out of stock. Vanilla guava smells mainly like vanilla, but it's nice. The consistency of this is so buttery--not too thin, not too thick, and leaves skin ridiculously soft. If they sold this in a super jumbo "swimming pool size", I'd probably buy it and swim in it.

Cool applicator, product isn't too special

I love the rollerball applicator. It distributes the eyeshadow really smoothly and feels very travel friendly. The shade is a pretty shimmery light pink, but it's rather sheer, even on top of a base, and I can't get it to last very long on my lids. It's nice, but not for the price.

Moisturizing, long lasting

This is not very pigmented, so you can easily wear it to the office, beach, wherever. It's super shiny and long lasting, and makes my lips sooo hydrated! Much better than any of my lip balms. It has the strong rose fragrance that all Anna Sui products have, so if you are sensitive, be careful. (But I love the smell.) Will definitely buy more colors!!
