You get what you pay for!
This is a lovely brush and compliments the BareMinerals range of powders perfectly.
It's exceptionally soft and seems to be natural hair. It's angled to make applications and picking up the minerals easier.
I bought it in a pack with the mineral powders. I bought three so that I would have one for each of the foundation, tinted minerals and the finishing mineral veil.
I recommend them highly, but do think that they are expensive. Also, when new, they do shed quite a few hairs until they've "settled in". Otherwise, fabulous!

I love, love, love this!
I absolutely love this product! It comes in a nail varnish style bottle with the same type of brush. You really only need a tiny dab of it, so it lasts forever.
I put a little dab on each cheekbone and then gently blend. EVERY time I put this on, I get comments about my skin "glowing". It's the very last item of make up I put on and sits on top of powder.
The only tiny niggle is that you have to be careful not to put it too close to the socket line, because it settles in even my very fine laughter lines and highlights them!
This and the Benetint as blusher are real must haves.

Spray away stress!
I cannot praise this product highly enough. It is discrete and easy to use. I keep it in my bag and when I feel myself getting stressed, I spray it on to my tongue a couple of times and within minutes I feel calmer. To the casual observer, it just looks like a fresh breath spray.
To me, it tastes a little like gin, which could explain the calming effect! It's certainly not unpleasant though.
Now I don't know whether it is the THOUGHT that it works that makes me feel better or whether it does, but either way, it works for me. Certainly, I have tried the pastilles, but although they tasted lovely, they didn't work for me. So, that leads me to believe that it does work.

Simple, yet effective
This is a great item for keeping by your bedside, in the your car, on the desk etc. It literally does what it says on the tin - keeps your lips lovely and moisurised.
Simple packaging, which is all you need. Be careful though when throwing it in your bag, as the lid comes off easily. Otherwise great and extremely long lasting.

Reach for Bach before that cake!
I've been using these for the last 2-3 weeks and must say that, overall, I have found that they work. The box contains three bottles of essence and instructs you to dissolve two drops of any or all of the essences in water and sip at intervals. Alternatively, it states to add to a mixing bottle of 30mls of still spring water.
Each bottle has a built in pippet, which often took a couple of attempts to get the essence into and out of in complete drops ie without any air bubbles.
I found that adding the drops to water gave it a slightly bitter, but not unpleasant taste. Although it states to sip throughout the day, I found that just dissolving two drops of each essence in a small glass of water and sipping it over a 10-15 minute period took away the cravings for me.
Personally, I am a huge fan of Bach - especially their Rescue Remedy - but for me their was one major flaw with this pack. I, personally, would have rather paid more and received the mixing bottle they referred to or, even better, a small bottle with a spray, so you could spray the diluted essences directly on your tongue.
Overall, they work, but obviously only if you remember to have them with you and take them regularly.

Make your bathroom a Sanctury
I found this to be a very effective product. You take a small handful and rub it into your skin and the salt exfoliates whilst the oil moisturises. I fill up the bath and apply this standing up in the bath (to save cleaning up!) as I find it even more effective on dry skin. As it has the moisturisers I don't find it too harsh. You don't need much either - a small handful will do most of your body.
Once you get into the bath, the oils mix with the water and make a lovely scent. Be careful where you sit though, as the salt can be a bit rough until it has dissolved!!
The only down side is that you must be VERY careful getting out of the bath, as the oils make it slippery. Otherwise, highly recommended.

Does exactly what it says - and better than most!
I have to say that I am an OPI fan. Since first trying their Nail Envy some years ago, I've graduated to most of their other products.
This is an excellent find and really does smooth out ridges. Even one light coat will sort out natural unevenness. More will cover just about anything.
What I particularly like as well is that is dries matt and opaque, so that nail varnish actually sticks better to it than your natural nail.
If I could give it ten stars, I would!

Love, love, love this produce!
If you do your nails, this is an ABSOLUTE must have. I think that it's good value too, as it dries your nail varnish AND puts a lovely shiny top coat on at the same time.
Another bonus is that if you dent or smudge your nail varnish before it's dry and then you gently go over it with this, it smooths it out again.
Basically, you wait a minute or two after the last coat of your colour and then paint this clear top coat over the top. Within a couple of minutes it's touch dry and within a few minutes after that, it's set.
Can't fault it!

Clay-tastic!
If, like me, you thought all clay masks were harsh and drying, then you haven't tried this one.
It really does pull out impurities, but it remains moisurising, so you don't have red tight skin after using it.
Simple design and good price, but outstanding results.

Really does give you nails to envy!
This product really does work, but you need to work at it to and remember to apply regularly.
Having used a lot of nail strenghteners over the years, I was fooled into thinking that the nails needed a tough hard cover to stop them splitting and peeling. However, with Nail Envy, I've discovered that the opposite is true. With the nail hardeners, although your nails grow, then soon get brittle and split. However with this, it somehow moisturises them, whilst giving them more protection than a bare nail.
At the moment my nails are quite short, so I use the original shiny clear Nail Envy, as it looks like a natural manicure, but I would highly recommended their coloured natural shade, as it works just as well and I get lots of compliments on the colour.
Pricy, but you get what you pay for!
