I purchased this after using Bare Minerals foundation for about a year. I love this kit! The brushes are great and the colors are fabulous and very complementary. Its well worth the money, too. I have had this kit for well over a year now, and I don't think I've even used half of the product. I can see this lasting another year easy. And, of course, the brushes will last a lot longer than that. Also was the first time I used powder liner and applied with brush. At first I was putting it on dry, which was not working for me. I figured out it goes on darker and easier if you wet the liner brush. Stays put better than pencil liners and looks more professional. Once again, beautiful colors. A winner!

What can I say? This is just a no frills cleanser that makes your skin feel both clean and soft without overdrying. This stuff has been around forever and I never would have considered using it because it didn't have the packaging and marketing that usually attracts me to skin products. It looked very mediciny! After seeing it voted in the Allure Hall of Fame, I bought it and I'll never be without it!

I love this powder. It is a little heavier than regular translucent powder, so it actually has some coverage. Also love that it comes with both a sponge and brush. The brush is good for a light touchup every few hours and the sponge adds more coverage and is best for a midday touchup when you need just a little more to freshen up. This is my first time buying it and I can definitely see it becoming a regular in my makeup bag.

This is a great gloss and comes in a very nice variety of colors. I pretty much have only tried the darker, neutral colors like Chocolate Fling and the other, beige-ish one (the name escapes me). Can't beat it for the price!

I love the brunette powder. It goes on smooth and even and you don't have to use much AT ALL, which is good for those of us who don't like to spend our paychecks on brow-grooming products! I agree with the other reviewers about the wax -- its a little sticky and hard to get even. Not the worst I've ever used, though. Overall, the pros of the powder outweight the cons of the wax. I will continue to buy this product.

I bought this one after getting a chemical peel because my Dermatologist said I needed to keep at least SPF 40 on my face for a couple of weeks after the peel. Of course, I went straight fot the Neutrogena because they have great facial products. This has been a great moisturizer -- its very light and non-greasy. I always use a moisturizer w/ sunscreen, but usually the ones I use only have SPF 25. I think its great to have such high protection and and I will continue to use it during the peak summer months and feel better about protection from the sun.

I used to only use eye makeup remover but realized that my cleanser, Cetaphil, is just too gentle to remove all of my foundation, blush, etc. I bought these wipes to do a "once over" before cleansing and I will never be without them again! I was pleasantly surprised at how well they removed stubborn eye makeup -- even my waterproof mascara! Now I feel like I really have all of my makeup off when I go to bed at night. And they couldn't be faster or easier to use!

At age 32, I find myself with more acne problems that I ever had as a teenager. I have used benz. peroxide, sulfur I'm talking about you, Dr. Murad!), and lower concentrations of salicyclic acid spot treatments. This 2% concentration, which is the highest I've seen OTC has been the best by far. It doesn't work miracles, but it has prevented under-the-skin zits that I catch early from becoming the monsters that I know they could be. Usually in 2-3 days of using this, the zit has disappeared. Can't ask for much more than that. Neutrogena products rarely disappoint me and this is no exception.

At age 32, I find myself with more acne problems that I ever had as a teenager. In addition to this new, annoying acne problem, I am at an age where I'm starting to worry about lines and wrinkles. I really like this cleanser, as it has the salicyclic acid I need to help with acne, and AHA for the wrinkles. I use it every morning. I picked this cleanser because I love Neutrogena products and I read that cleansers with AHA are a great thing for those of us concerned with aging. This is a part of my new skin care regimen (includes anti-oxident moisturizer in the a.m. and retinol p.m). I have definitely noticed a difference since starting this new regimen. Can't speak to exactly what this cleanser has done, but in combo with the other changes I've made, my skin looks great and I have fewer breakouts. Highly recommended. Skin feels great and it doesn't dry it out.

I used an Avon blush stick once and after a couple of days, I had a mysterious breakout right on the apples of my cheeks. Now I'm not saying it was the blush that did it, but I threw it away and that never happened again. Coincidence? I think not. And I do NOT have sensitive skin or any other skin issues. Besides the breakout problem, the color was different than how it looked in the book and the quality of the blush was bad. It did not go on or blend in smooth at all. Now this was a few years ago, so maybe they've improved it since then. I wouldn't chance it, though.
