This gel was fragrance free but still made my skin red and irritated. It kind of burns when I rub it in. It smells really weird and sort of peppery. It doesn't sink in but just makes your skin feel sticky. And, it really doesn't hydrate. This was a fail for me. I really wanted to like it because of the price tag but it just didn't work for me. It stung my eyes even when I avoided the eye area and made them watery. I definitely didn't see a 'dramatic difference' with this moisturizing gel.

Oh my goodness this stuff smells like heaven in a bottle and it lingers on your skin even after you dry off. Kinda the strength of a body mist. It cleans nicely even sweat-proof deodorant. Dries my skin out a bit but nothing a little cream can't fix.

I have never really been a fan of Covergirl products. The blushes are hard to get at with a brush. The foundations are watery etc. etc. However, on a whim I tried this because the add looked promising and I wanted to see for myself just how much I could build it up without clumps. The answer: Until the end of time. This mascara will not clump. Period. In fact it's kind of difficult to build up at first. Definitely one of those mascaras that gets even better as it dries up, in my opinion. I would put like 3 coats of this on and still have defined, separated lashes. However, you do really have to work with it to build it up. One coat for me didn't even darken my lashes completely. This is not really volumizing to me but because it separates each lash so well that it makes your lashes look so plush and fluffy. It lengthens nicely too without forming that weird little ball effect at the end of my lashes(hate that). The packaging in my opinion is bulky and garish but overall I really enjoyed using the product. The brush is magic. I wish more mascaras had those perfectly spaced little teeth on a perfectly curved brush that still has one straight side for getting that outer corner without smudging your cheek. Give it a shot if you've been skeptical! It's worth it.

I'm not gonna lie. I sweat. Like a lot. It's mostly because of nerves because I have mild anxiety problems. This stuff keeps me drier than any other one I've tried AND! It doesn't stain my shirts in the underarms AND! It dries pretty fast compared to other gel type ones I've tried. The only reason I'm giving it 9 stars is because I hate the powder fresh smell to death. I get the shower fresh scent. Other than that this stuff is awesome. Keeps the smell away and reduces perspiration.

I actually liked this more than I thought I would initially. It is a thick consistency upon squeezing it out of the tube so I thought it would be hard to blend and cakey. Surprisingly it melts into the skin and blends very easily. It has what I would call a light coverage. It makes my dark pigmentation spots leftover from breakouts less noticeable and covers my redness on my chin and around my nose fairly well. However, I will say that, because it is very creamy and moisturizing(you can almost skip the separate moisturizer with this one if you have oily/normal skin)it is not buildable. The coverage you see initially is what you get and if you try to build it up it looks thick and feels sticky and heavy. I personally don't mind this since I like a light coverage. And, you can always top it off with a more pigmented face powder like mac studio fix if you want another kick of coverage. There are a few things that I don't like about this product, though. 1) It has a quite strong floral fragrance which can be irritating for sensitive skins or acne prone skin. 2) It is really not meant to be long wearing even when set with a powder and therefore does not last longer than 6-7 hours before it starts to wear off. 3) Based on my experience with other BB creams(Skin79 etc.)I wouldn't really call this a BB cream. To be honest, it's more of a tinted moisturizer because it doesn't have a high SPF or any skin whitening or healing properties. All of that being said....I like it. I don't love it. But, I do still reach for it occasionally on a windy day or a day when I want to just slap something on quick and go. I'd say give it a shot if you haven't already.
