Worthless!
Do not be tempted to purchase this product - I was lured into thinking that for $26 at the drugstore, it must be a fairly good scrub. Wrong. First of all, the granules are rough and not small enough to qualify as "micro" and the texture was chalky. The "stop-action crystals" dissolved long before any type of exfoliation could occur and it left behind a film which made my skin feel dry. This is one supremely ineffective product!

Great Stuff!
My husband bought this conditioner for me at a very expensive West Hollywood Spa and Salon when he went to get a massage. At first, I was ready to take it back because I thought it was a bit pricey - but I ended up keeping it and I am glad that I did. This rich, buttery cream melts into hair, bathing each strand and instantly making it silky smooth. And after a few uses, I did notice that my hair color wasn't fading as fast. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with damaged, color treated hair.

Smells Wonderful!
I am addicted to body scrubs so I was very excited to try this one from Burt's Bees. I love that it is made with shea butter and other natural oils and does not contain mineral oil. It also contains real cranberry seeds which, along with the sugar, help to exfoliate. I love the wonderfully refreshing, fruity fragrance, too. I only wish that the jar was bigger, as it is not meant to be used sparingly and an 8oz container doesn't go very far.

Great Blush!
Physician's Formula blushers are top-notch and this one is no exception. The multi-toned blushing hearts are absolutely irresistible. The compact has a separate compartment which holds a mini blush brush but I recommend using a full size natural bristle blush brush for optimum results. Swirl your brush across the entire palette, in order to get the full effect. It does have a slight fragrance but nothing overpowering. It left my cheeks flushed with a natural glow and just the right amount of soft highlights. Another plus is that it does not cause breakouts! This one is a keeper!

Not Enough Pigment
Rimmel makes great eye and lip liners and some of their foundation make-up is very good - but for some reason, they just don't quite have it right when it comes to their eye shadow and blush. There simply wasn't enough pay-off with this powder blush - no matter how much was applied. And the case is rather flimsy and doesn't travel well.

Not Impressed
I purchased this product because I had positive results with their original lip plumper, Lip Fusion. And with ingredients such as "Amplifat" and "Lip Vantage" I had high hopes that this gloss would be the answer to sexy, pouty lips. Although the color choices were limited, I liked that most were shades of nude/pink. I bought "In the Flesh" which was a light, peachy nude. The color was nice and I liked it's slightly bubblegum flavor but that's where it ended. It felt rather thin, wore off quickly and failed to make a noticeable difference in the size of my lips. The fact that I spent $38 made it especially disappointing. I will stick with Lip Fusion.

Expensive but it does work
Lip Fusion is probably the most popular lip plumper on the market - and with good reason - it does work. Once applied, lips immediately feel fuller - and the swelling is not caused by irritants, such as cinnamon, which are common in other plumping treatments. There is a subtle but visible difference in lip fullness, more so than any other product I have tried. The only drawbacks are the cost - $30 for an average size tube and the color choices could be better. I favor nude/pink shades and most are too sparkly and glittery while lacking color and many of the pinks are too bright.. "Glow" is the only one I can wear - which is a shame because it would be nice to have this product in more than one color.

Nice Color - No Plumping
I purchased this product primarily because of the claim that it would instantly plump lips. Sadly, my lips did not appear any fuller after applying this product. I must say that although it failed as a plumper, it wasn't a total loss. I really like the applicator and the color was lovely - sheer, shiny and it felt very nice on my lips.

Plumps Lips!
I'm somewhat obsessed with lip plumpers - or at least with products which claim to plum the lips. - so naturally, I saw this and had to have it. I bought the clear gloss - and it certainly does taste like chocolate. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate but it wasn't bad and reminded me of a flavored lip gloss I had when I was a teenager. Anyway, the instructions on the package tell you to press your lips together after applying and indeed, it does produce a slight tingle and temporary plumping effect. Of all the drugstore lip plumpers I have tried, this one was the best. The only complaint I have is that I ran out of this gloss pretty quickly, as there doesn't seem to be very much inside the tube. Still...not bad for ten bucks.

Horrible!
Seldom have I been so utterly disappointed in a product. After spending $30 on a 4oz bottle - I certainly expected more from this self tanner. I'm not usually bothered by the smell of sunless tanners but this one, which is supposed to be "light and delicious" had an odor that can only be described as rancid vanilla frosting. The "instant" color was almost non existent and the "tan" was a pale, yellow/orange which did not fade well. Save your money!
