TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 10* Why it's life-changing: "My mom (who is 55) and I (25) both love, love, love this stuff. We have very different hair types but it is a miracle product for both of us. I use it as my daily conditioner (you only need a little) and honestly my hair feels so healthy and soft. I know that hair is dead and it's impossible to mend/heal/make healthy but of all the hair treatments I've used, this is one of the best." -- OCBeautyJunkie, TotalBeauty.com member
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9* Why it's life-changing: "I love this moisturizer. I have always worn SPF, and throughout my teens and 20s I needed an oil-free product. But in the past couple of years (I'm now 30), I've needed a little extra moisture but still something very gentle that won't clog my pores. This has fit the bill perfectly through many sweaty summers and flaky winters, and all I have to do is adjust the amount I use when the weather changes, rather than switch to a heavier or lighter product. It soaks right in and takes my powder foundation smoothly. Yay!" -- jenntuition, TotalBeauty.com member
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9* Why it's life-changing: "This blush is very natural-looking. I use it every single day. I have always been afraid of blush because I'm very pale. So I've always been afraid that blush would give me an unnatural, garish-looking color on my cheeks. But this blush is the best color I've ever used. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone I know who's ever used this has raved about [it]." -- meightry, TotalBeauty.com member
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9* Why it's life-changing: "I did not discover MAC until I was in my 30s. I had heard good things, but could not justify the price without the experience. ... I was so wrong. MAC eyeshadow colors hold up all day long [and] blend well, which allowed me to understand the artistry of makeup that I had no concept of before. Every pot is well worth the money. Although this site describes the pans as 'tiny,' they last a LONG time. In most cases, far longer than cheaper brands. I need to apply so much less to achieve the color payoff I want in my makeup. Well worth the price." -- Purrmeow, TotalBeauty.com member
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9* Why it's life-changing: "This product works very well in the winter time when your hair needs moisture but you don't have the time to shampoo then rinse and then apply a conditioner then rinse again! Also [it] does not make your hair look oily like some conditioners do. It works well on taming the frizz too!" -- LisaK1964, TotalBeauty.com member
