Got a free sample of this at Ulta counter and 2 uses of this and I knew I hated it. It was way too clumpy and watery. Did not hold my curl well and the S-shaped brush is difficult to use. I'm glad I only got this for free instead of buying this.

It brightens up my face and does a great job of highlighting. This concealer only gives a light to medium coverage so it might not be for those who are looking for a miracle worker. I like the consistency of this. Not too watery or too heavy. Just right. And also my perfect shade. I got this in Sand and the problem I have with concealers is that it has too much pink, white, or yellow undertones. My skin has a yellow slightly pink undertone and this didn't leave my skin too yellow or pale. It had just the right amount of yellow in it to make my skin glow and look natural. Love this...I find myself reaching for this often.

Since it is a matte foundation, it accentuates your fine lines and pores. This foundation is not long lasting at all. By half of my work shift, my skin was blotchy and the foundation was fading already and does not control oil like I was hoping. I was a grease ball 4 to 5 hours within wearing this product. The texture is the thickest I have seen on any foundation, making it kind of hard to blend and gets pretty cakey. It gives a medium to heavy coverage. It feels quite heavy on your face and I find that I hardly ever reach for this foundation. Waste of my money.

I bought the small mini trial from Ulta before committing to the full size. So many good reviews led me to believe that I have found a holy grail. NOT! I hated this product. I applied this under my foundation and when I applied my foundation on top of this the foundation literally flaked off! I was so disappointed. At first I thought it was my foundation but when I applied my foundation to the back of my hand and rubbed it, it didn't flake off so I applied a little bit of this product to the back of my hand and started rubbing, it flaked off kind of similar to the results you get when you erase pencil marks. It was disgusting and I immediately returned this product. Instead of this product absorbing into my skin, it just set on top of my skin creating a thick filmy base.

I found that when I first used this, I have to agree with all the other reviewers. It does have a thick waxy feeling making it hard to smooth out on your face and feels quite heavy. However, I found that after the 3rd use it got better because the products near the tip of the opening got kind of dried up and when I used it the 3rd time, oil started coming out so I assume the product did not mix well enough in the tube after sitting awhile. I suggest when you first get this product, you should squeeze the tube from top to bottom a little bit so that it can get mixed a little bit better before using. I find that I always reach for this product now. It smooths out my skin and "blurs" my pores and fine lines better than any other product I have use. I like using this as a primer since it sets my foundation well. Only downside is for a drugstore brand it sure is pricey. I bought the trial size which was around 8 bucks compared to the full size which I saw advertised for about 20 dollars. Try the trial size first if you can find it in Wal-mart like I did before committing to the full size.

Literally did nothing for my skin wrinkle-wise. I was trying to get rid of my forehead wrinkles and after seeing a review on how this serum faded wrinkles within 2 weeks to 30 days I saw no results at all!!! I read that this was one of the best products for wrinkles and seeing that it was "cheaper" than the other wrinkle creams or serums, I decided to try this out first. This is the first serum product I have ever tried and I'm not that impressed by it. I love the soft velvety texture almost like a primer when applied to the skin and how it absorbs so fast I didn't have to wait a while before applying my moisturizer right after. Overall, I would not buy this again.

This is the first product I have bought from the Cerave skincare line. I decided to test it out and I was pretty impressed with how much my skin glows the next morning when I wake up. I love using this after my cleanser at night since my skin can feel tight after washing my face but this product moisturizes well and doesn't make me break out. For some reason when I have a pimple, I put this product on and the next morning it literally shrinks. Love it!!!

I had high hopes for this mascara just because everyone raves about it. I got this in carbon black which everyone swears by it being the blackest black they have found. I didn't think it was all that black and I hated how this mascara was super clumpy for me. It did thicken my lashes a little bit and that's the only good thing about it.

It blends so easily, brightens up my face that I don't even have to put foundation over it. I could just use it alone. One thing I don't like is it tends to cake around my nose since that's where all my flaky skin is. Also it tends to be somewhat oily so with that said, it tends to smear and smudge as soon as something comes into contact with it but with a little powder on top, it works great especially at this undefeatable price.

I love Elf concealers because they brighten up my skin so much and I always get compliments from my glowy skin and the price is unbeatable. This gives a light coverage so don't expect it to hide your acne or blemishes. I, however, agree with all the other reviewers that this product needs a better highlighter. Don't use too much or it will go on too white. Remember: less is more. Elf also suggested that the highlighter doubles as an eye primer also but I find it lacking in that department when I layer eyeshadow on top of it. My eyeshadow doesn't appear any more intense or anything because the highlighter doesn't have that creaminess for eyeshadow to adhere to. There's shimmer in the highlighter......and not the good kind that is finely milled either so it gives your skin a dewy finish. It ends up looking more glittery than shimmery. If you want to look more like a fairy with pixie dust then I would suggest this highlighter but otherwise find a different highlighter along with this product if you like the concealer only.
