I've been using this foundation for three or four years, and I love it. I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin, and this doesn't cause any irritation and doesn't clog my pores. It's so quick and easy to put on -- no smearing on and blending like liquid foundation. I'm literally done in 30 seconds. It looks very natural and feels like I don't have makeup on at all. I recently had a makeup application at a different brand's cosmetic counter; they applied a tinted moisturizer, which felt awful compared to the Bare Minerals foundation. I had forgotten how uncomfortable regular foundation can be. Also, the sheerness and the wide range of shades makes getting a good match eaasy. I have very fair skin and had always had trouble finding a foundation that wasn't too pink or too dark. The "fair" shade is perfect for me. A couple of caveats: the coverage, while buildable, is pretty sheer. The infomercials for this product make it sound like you can use the foundation as a concealer too; I always need a separate concealer for dark circles, blemishes, and redness around my nose. Also, it's a good idea to put this on before getting dressed -- otherwise a little bit always seems to sprinkle onto black or light clothing.

This is amazing -- gets all of my makeup off, doesn't irritate or dry out my sensitive skin, and doesn't leave me feeling greasy. Unique in that it works well for oily/acne-prone AND sensitive skin (usually sensitive skin products leave me with an oil slick, but acne-prone products cause redness and dryness). It does have a fragrance, but it's very light.

This works great for both my kids and me. I use it after every bath on my 3-year-old and my 15-month-old; both have mild eczema. I have dry skin, small patches of eczema in the winter, and lots of allergies; this is so soothing. When my skin is itchy from allergies or dryness, this provides almost immediate relief. This is great even for babies -- it doesn't cause any irritation and is very moisturizing. I've been using it on my son since he was a few months old, and it has never irritated his skin. I'm a pediatrician, and I usually recommend regular Eucerin cream for all of my patients with eczema, but I recommend the Eucerin Calming Creme for the kids whose eczema causes especially significant itching. It doesn't replace prescription creams for moderate or severe eczema, but it's a wonderful adjunct to prescription creams, and it can treat mild eczema very well alone.

I bought this mascara because I heard so many great things about it in magazines. It made my lashes look good, but really no better than most other mascaras. My lashes are naturally pretty thick, and this made them a little clumpy. It did lengthen well. My biggest objection is that it smudged really badly; I looked like a raccoon after just a couple of hours of wear. The product seemed to dry out faster than some other mascaras; after a month or so the product had thickened, and I couldn't get good results anymore. I can get the same result from a $5 drugstore mascara.

This really does give instant results. Great to use in the morning on days when you need a pick-me-up or want to look especially radiant. I've had strangers compliment me on my skin after using this product. Great for all skin types.

I find almost all perfumes to be overpowering, but this one is perfectly light. It really does smell like you just stepped out of the shower. This is light enough that I can wear it to work and not have to worry about offending anyone with my perfume. It doesn't intensify after I've worn it for a couple of hours, like many other perfumes seem to do, but I can still smell it at the end of the day. Truly the perfect scent.
