It fills in all of my creases and pores without clogging and minimizes their appearance. My skin becomes smooth, and it protects my face in the winter from wind chapping! No other primer protects my face from the cold like this does. Sometimes I wore it without any foundation on top because it gave my skin a nice glow and smooth Finnish. I just wish that it had SPF, but that is not a problem since EVERY foundation and moisturizer I wear has at least SPF10. It works best if you use less that what you think you will need and really spread it out. it's an amazing deal for the price since I have been using it every day for 6 months and the small tube still feels half full! It passed all seasons of the North with flying colors, so if you have frigid winter months give this a try!

Revlon Age Defying Makeup Foundation with Botafirm for Normal or Combination Skin
Only good when mixed with ColorStay
THis is by far the silkiest foundation I have ever used, but the staying power only lasts (even with my trusted primers) when I mix it half and half with a Revlon ColorStay foundation. It does tend to turn lighter as you rub it in, so make sure to only sponge it on and no swiping or blending. If you are looking for the radiant glow this will get you there.

I buy the second lightest shade in the oily skin for the summer and the dry skin for the winter in the lighter shade and never have a problem. I do wish there was a pump, but I just pour a small amount on the back of my hand put my finger in, dot it around my face then use a flat or stippling brush to blend in depending on the amount of coverage I want. This foundation has amazing staying power, the oil of my skin never disintegrates it or makes it pool up around the dry areas. works amazing paired with rimmel fix and perfect pro or clean & clears mattifying moisturizer for a base. The color selection is also great, it covers all of my red blotchiness and helps my red/pink face match the rest of my pale olive body -which is not an easy color to match in the drugstore.

really not good for everyday. some coors are sheer and cheap. the metallics of them seem to look very poor on my skin. very fluffy flakey powdery and not very dense colors. its cheap makeup packaged and advertised well. the only way you cold get the looks in the commercials and ads would be to apply wet.

the balls kept falling out of the container when i would use the very high quality fancy brush that was included. So i pressed it into powder. the packaging of this item was amazing the little window on the bottom so you can see the "pearls", the nice powder pad, and the very nice large brush that were included into thise screw top jar. It was very high end feeling. color is very sheer compared to the others. Very shimmer and pearl payoff.

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Fortifying 3-Minute Undo Dryness Reversal Treatment
it's the jesus of hair products
it's the jesus of hair products, it's come as the savior for the broken and thirsty hair. but seriously, my hair is very long and big loose curls... (think beyonce). my hair is thin but it frizzes and poofs big. after using this my hair is smooth and my waves are weighed down, but thats a prices I'll pay to have hair like silk. I did over do it with the shampoo and regular conditioner in addition to this mask so the relaxing of my natural curls could just be from overdoes, but no other product i've tried has been able to come close to the hydrating qualities of this line of hair repair. I recommend this product for curly dry hair.

This moisturizer was thin and watered down feeling. It took 5 minutes or more to dry, and once it's all soaked in my face still felt dry. I have natural oily skin. Horrible moisturizer.

haven't found a shade that i like yet in this series but the texture and consistency and wearability is amazing. I would recommend this to a friend if you can get a good color for you. i purchased rosy glow, because i thought that it was the universal go to color for blush but i was SO off.

I bought in posie glow. This is ultra sheer and not very pigmented at all. The color swatches off WAY different than it loks pressed in it's cute little pan. So i was totally shocked at what i got. The blush is much lighter and brighter and sheer and almost matches my skin. the bronzer is like a brassy yellow and is also way too sheer to do anything fancy. You may enjoy this product but you would have to apply with a heavy hand if you even wanted to pull off a natural look with this duo. For the price it would not be worth it because you would be zooming through powder in no time, and you would run out. Previously have been using physicians formula blush and it was around the same price but more product and you are able to use it more sparingly. the packaging is nice and fresh looking as you would expect from a brand like neutragena. It is very sturdy and doesn't feel like it would brak if dropped on accident. THe mirror is skinny across the top maybe one by three inches, but it is a high quality mirror. also the brush is horrible, but as with every applicator that comes in a drugstore pallet. I always throw them out and use my sigma ones. the one good thing abou the product is that it does feel very smooth and soft and i feel that their claim to improve your skin using antioxidants over time might actually be true. but i wouldn't know because i am returning this sucka!
