Although it appears other reviewers have experienced problems with this foundation, I find it to be the best I have ever used. I purchased it at Sephora. When I tested it, I found it to be unbelievable. It is not greasy, a teeny bit goes a long way, and the coverage is incredible. It evens out your skin tone and imparts a flawless finish. I bought it in the summer when it was really dry here and found if I sprayed a little Evian Water on it, the foundation applied better. However, now that it is winter, I don't use the Evian Water, plus I changed my moisturizer, which probably made a difference, too. I will buy this again and again. I hope it continues to stay on the market.

I received this as a good sized sample at ULTA. The manager who gave it to me knew what she was doing. After one use, my skin felt incredibly moisturized. I mixed it with my face cream. I have also used it alone. Even though it is an oil, it does not leave a greasy feeling. Also, I was told it can be used on your hair as well. After I applied a few drops to my dry hair and massaged it in, my hair was glistening!! It is pricey, but a little goes a long way. AND, the packaging is really clever. I saved it because it is a nice box with bamboo strips.

This is an excellent moisturizing body lotion. It is really fresh and absorbs quickly.

These are full false eyelashes. However, the sales person said they would last up to 10 wearings. I took great care of these when removing and cleaning. They are actually no better than the less expensive lashes. Katy Perry has a nice selection of lashes, which are half the price of these. The only positive thing I can say is that they come in a nice plastic box which slides open and makes for easy storage. But, once you have the box, you can re-use it with different lashes.

I purchased this because I like the Sugarbomb blush, and this gloss is similar in color. It has a foam applicator tip which allows the gloss to glide on evenly. It does not feel sticky, looks good over lipstick or alone. And, it lasts longer than most glosses.

This is a SMALL face color correction kit. The product does not last very long because each is small. I gave it an 8 because the products are good. This kit corrects redness with a yellow cream; there is a beige concealer to cover dark circles and freckles, and a pink to add brightness to the inner corners of your eyes. You really need to use the sponge applicators to use the products. Fingers are too big and inefficient. These are nice products you can test drive before purchasing. I found I did not use the yellow one too frequently because I do not have a lot of redness. I did, however, use the concealer and brightener. I did not ever buy full sized products. I will not buy this again because I discovered Erase Paste is a better concealer, and High Beam a good highlighter.

There are good and bad things about these kits. They are usually $36 for 4 sample size products. The good thing is that you can test drive a product before you buy it. Also, the kits are small enough to fit in your purse. But, also bear in mind, you can test the products in the store as well. So, weigh the price of the sample sizes against one full size. I gave this a 9 based on the quality of the samples. Benetint imparts a slight flush, which you apply with the built in brush, and you must blend quickly and lightly before it dries. High Beam is a vey good highlighter. It is applied with a built in brush, and again, you must blend quickly by dabbing it with your finger tips. With both Benetint and High Beam, if you slide your fingers over the product to apply, it will rub off. Sugarbomb is a very good blush. It is comprised of 4 warm colors...light orange, light coral, darker coral and bronze color. When you apply all 4 colors at once, you will have a nice, soft looking blush that is warm-toned. The gloss is nice, and can be used over Benetint on the lips. The brush, however, is a joke. It is too small to apply the blush, and it is also very coarse. I recommend this, but beware of the caveats above.

Usually Too Faced Eyeshadows are highly pigmented and last through the day. For some reason, this palette is not. I like the idea of 3 looks in one palette...natural, purple and smoky. But I simply could not achieve the look I wanted, including the smoky which one would think would be darker. The colors are not true, either. I do not recommend this product.

This product imparts beautiful highlights with several options. According to Too Faced's founder, Jeered, it is inspired by Too Faced's original Candlelight powder. If you like the effects of the Candlelight powder, you will like this. It seems to soften the look of your skin and give a pleasant luminosity. I use a brush on the light side to impart light highlights. I use the pink side to impart a pinkish effect. Then, I swipe the brush across both sides of the compact to achieve slight color and luminosity. The powder formula is easy to apply to cheeks, brow bones, and decollete for an all-over highlight. I am very pleased with this product.

This sample kit comes with "That Gal" brightening face primer, Boi-ing-Boi-ing 2 shades of cream concealer, Lemonade color correction cream, Eye Bright, Erase Paste under eye concealer in medium shade, and 2 applicators, all in a box with a mirror. This is a good compilation of Benefit's best concealer's and brighteners. The products are a good quality and do last. If you have dark circles that are more purple, Erase Paste may not pack enough punch to cover them. You may have to use another concealer on top. The Boi-ing Concealer 01 and 01 concealers cover dark circles and disguise pimples and redness. The 01 shade is a pinkish beige while the 01 is more of a darker peachy pink with faint yellow undertones. These work nicely as long as you're not tanned. Lemon-Aid was created as a creamy yellow product to brighten and prime lids. It reduces a red appearing lid. Eye-Bright, which is pink, is to be applied around tear ducts to illuminate and lighten the area. I use a small foundation brush to apply all of these products since the brushes supplied are too small for my taste. Overall, this kit is a good price for what you get. It's $38 for $112 value of products. Although, bear in mind that is very mis-leading because these are sample size, not the full size products and there is no way these small sizes are equivalent to $112. Very misleading claim by Benefit. Again, caveat emptor. This kit is good for medium to light skin. I do recommend this kit.
