While this foundation does have great coverage, if your skin is even the slightest bit oily, forget about it. It settled into every crevice on my face instantly, and it rubbed off with just the slightest touch. After about an hour of wear, it caked up in ugly splotches on my chin. I suppose if your skin were perfect and totally lineless to begin with, this might work well for you. This stuff just doesn't cut it in the real world.

It doesn't make your hair sticky or stiff, but it also doesn't do what it's intended to do. My hair still poufed right up as if I hadn't put anything at all in it. Sure, it smells nice, but I have perfume that serves that purpose. Bottom line: don't bother.

I had VERY high hopes for this, given all the stellar reviews, but I just wasn't that impressed with it. It covers reasonably well, but I certainly wouldn't want to trust it to cover a tatoo or anything worse than a minor blemish. It does seem to be waterproof, but doesn't last all day and starts getting cakey by late afternoon. And even the lightest shade is still way too dark for my pale skin. I bought this in hopes of finding a replacement for my favorite, long-ago discontinued Amazing Lasting concealer by Almay. I have spent the last two years looking, and the search continues.

This is one of the few products I've ever tried that actually works, instantly and BRILLIANTLY. It makes my naturally wavy, somewhat frizzy hair gorgeously soft and shiny and totally hides any split ends. If you are skeptical, just buy the smaller-sized bottle for six bucks and prepare to be amazed!

I cannot live without All You Need moisturizer. I use the non-SPF version in the winter and the SPF 15 version in the summer. It literally has changed my skin: it doesn't produce nearly as much oil during the day as with other moisturizers. I have oily skin but bought the normal-skin formula initially because that was all the store had at the time, and it still made my skin less oily. For the person who thinks the price is too high: a bottle should last you at least 6 months with daily use, so if you think about it, 22 cents a day is a bargain for the awesome results! (The only reason I give it 9 stars instead of 10 is because they don't offer a higher-SPF version -- I would like to see an SPF 30).

At the risk of sounding redundant -- yes, it really does work! This is the ONLY product I have ever found that really does take away eye puffiness. I've never used it as a mask like the tube says; I always leave it on all day. It makes a huge difference.

This product is awful awful AWFUL. The powder is almost impossible to dispense unless you grind the brush forcefully into your skin. It gives very little coverage, and worst of all, starts to look cakey and gross immediately after applying. Months later, I'm still angry that I wasted $60 on this. I would rate this product less than zero stars if I could.

I looove this stuff -- I use it at night and go to sleep smelling a garden of roses. Can't beat that! It is very light and refreshing (sort of between a cream and a gel), not at all oily or heavy, and has never made me break out. Great for those with oily-ish skin who still need a little moisture during the colder, dryer months.

This product smells nice and feels good when you spray it on your face (particularly if the weather is hot), but that's about where its virtues end. The first ingredient is alcohol, so if your skin is dry or mature, don't even think about it. My skin type is oily, and it still managed to irritate my skin. It also contains several plant extracts that can irritate sensitive skin. The name is what attracted me -- who can resist something called Beauty Elixer?? But no, it doesn't do anything for your beauty, and perhaps could even detract from it by making your skin dry and flaky. Bummer.
