I might have to go against all the other good reviews and just be honest. I really wanted to like this product because of all the hype and word of mouth, but I'm just not feelin' it. My biggest issue would have to be that weird nail polish type of brush. Sometimes instead of little dots of red, the brush will sort of splatter and leave too much on the cheeks. If you don't blend fast enough, the color doesn't look natural. Also, I'm really not sure if this color can work well on all skin tones. I'm Asian with fairly tan skin and yellow undertones (NC40 in MAC) and the red just somehow does not look right. I didn't want to waste the product and tried a dab of it on my lips, which turned out to be an even worse idea- it looked a bit childish, like a little girl who just ate a popsicle or who just stole her mother's lipstick and smeared it on her lips. So sorry, all you hardcore Benetint fans, this product doesn't really work on EVERYONE.

This is a great product for the eyes...and it really does work. You can see actual results if you stick with it and use it on a daily basis. I switch off between this for the day and all about eyes (rich) for night. My eyes have never looked better. This is the perfect eye cream for younger women who are looking to really slow down aging around the eyes and also to cure the most common problems that plague us- the dark circles and puffy undereyes from staying up all night! I highly recommend this.

Tames even the longest, messiest brows. You could literally delay your next brow threading/waxing appointment for weeks by using this instead! It neatens those little stubborn hairs that stick in crazy directions and keeps them there for the whole day. It makes a really big difference between a good brow and a great brow. Easy to use and take off. Highly recommend it.

A godsend for those who abuse heated styling tools too often. Works well with a curling iron, it adds a little bit of extra hold to the curls and leaves them shiny and bouncy. Really light and non-residual and undetectable in the hair. You'll get way less split ends, and really just a must have if you heat style your hair.

Getting rid of cellulite with a gel instead of exercise? I knew it was too good to be true. I used two tubes of this diligently and never saw a change. The smell is a little bit unpleasant and it is really sticky and takes a bit to sink in. Even after it does, if you wear black pants, it can rub off and leave white lines on the inside of your waistband as you're pulling your pants on. Didn't really tone the back of my thighs to supermodel goodness, so I guess I'll be hitting the gym again instead of reaching for a quick fix.

Despite all the other "10" reviews, I'm going to say that this is my least favorite Nivea lotion. I've tried the entire line of body lotions and this one is the heaviest, so I'd limit it only to the really rough and dry spots like elbows and knees and hands. For a body lotion it is really a little too heavy and takes some heavy duty rubbing to get it in and fifteen minutes to dry if it's humid. You can't get dressed right away or it'll leave residue on your clothes. It does moisturize your skin really well, it's just a little too heavy and greasy for me.

Good moisturizer, as I've come to expect with Nivea. The firming claims are a little far fetched though. I used two bottles of it before I moved on to another type of lotion and I did not notice a difference at all. If it were only that easy to get rid of cellulite! Takes a bit to dry and sink in but pretty good.

I find I use this even during the day just for that subtle lingering smell of lavendar! It moisturizes the skin wonderfully and leaves it silky and touchable. Melts right in, not a lot of rubbing needed to get it to absorb. Really gentle and great for all times of the year.

This was recommended to me at Sephora. For the tiny little tube you get for that price, I expected this to actually work. Did absolutely nothing for spot treating pimples, and possibly even made it worse. Severely dried out the area around it without having any healing affect on the pimple itself. It smells terrible too (probably the sulfur) and you can't wear it during the day under makeup, because it's thick and chalky when it dries. Wouldn't use it ever again, it was a waste of money. I could've stuck to Clean & Clear or any other cheap drugstore brand and gotten better results.

This product doesn't really help to form or structure curls but works well for frizziness. And I find that if you apply it to anything other than sopping wet hair, it leaves a bit of residue and makes hair look a little...blah.
