I really like that this concealer has an SPF, which is great because theres not a lot of concealers that have SPF. I also like that it is water resistant and it lasts pretty long. However, if you dont set it right, it tends to crease and move. I like the texture though because it is creamy enough to use under the delicate eye area and it also covers blemishes considering its light and creamy texture. Its about the same size as their eyeshadows so I think the value of this product is pretty good for what you spend. I just wish they sold the refill version so you could create a customized concealer palette.

Although this product states that it combats puffiness and dark circles, I didnt really see a difference. Its more of a primer for your concealer. It allows your concealer to just glide on and it helps it to stay in place. It is light reflecting though so it would be great to wear alone if your in a rush and dont have the time to do your entire face. I didnt really care for the pump because it pumps out too much product, so I feel its a bit wasteful for such a small bottle. Its a bit pricey as well, so Im not sure how many uses I will get out of this. Texture is great, but didnt quite live up to its claims.

I got this product because I needed a foundation that was water resistant. It was long lasting, but it was very very sheer, almost like a tinted moisturizer. You have to shake it before use because if not, the water will seperate and when you go to pour it out it will be watery and not have much color. It did give a really nice finish, almost like an airbrushed look. I think its best used with either a duo fibre or stippling brush since the formula is not thick at all. Its a great foundation you can mix easily to get the right shade. It contains a whole lot of product so its a good value for your money, especially if you are going to be using this everyday. A little goes a long way with this one.

This helped my acne for about a month and then my skin went back to normal. I used it mostly at night but I really did not like the smell of this product. I did like the consistency of it because its a gel formula and a little goes a long way, plus it absorbs quickly. However, I dont like the packaging of it, you have to press the top down for the product to come out and I feel like it didnt get all the product out when it was nearing the end. Its not moisturizing at all and its actually a bit drying if you use it everyday. This product is so-so, I think for $18 you could find something better.

This product isnt very pigmented and goes on really sheer when blended. If used alone it gives you a nice natural blushed or bronzed look. I actually use this as a base for my powder blush and bronzer and it helps to make my blush last longer. The tube is a bit small but you dont need to use all that much. I got it in Peachy and Nude. Peachy is more of a blush color for the apples of your cheeks to give it a nice wash of color and lit from within glow. Nude is more of a beige bronze color which is good to use as a base for bronzer. Alone it doesnt show up very well on my light skintone. For the price, this is a good buy. If you want something more pigmented I would opt for the Nars Multiple.

This is an amazing bronzer that is very versatile. I got the shade Amped Up. The center circle is a matte bronze, middle ring is a shimmery gold bronze, and the outer ring is a peachy bronze shimmer. Its very pigmented so a little goes a long way. Its great for contouring cheeks or just using it as a blush for a nice natural glow. It wears very well, its really smooth, not too shimmery, and it stays on throughout the day. Great great value for your money. The brush it comes with though is not very functional, I like to use either a blush brush or a contour brush for best results =)

I got this for my boyfriend and he wears it everyday! Its very light and fresh smelling if you dont overload. It has sandalwood, ginger, cedar, grapefruit, and pink pepper to name a few so it does have that woody citrusy undertone to it. I think its a great fragrance for any man to wear whether they are the outdoorsy type or the professional business man. Great value and awesome packaging!

Love this scent! Its more lightweight than most Chanel fragrances and it even has sort of a green grassy hint to it mixed in with the fresh and floral which creates a nice aroma. It lasts very long throughout the day even though its a toilette so you get a very good value for your money. Plus, Chanel fragrances are so classic and the bottles are always sleek and gorgeous.

Even though its a Toilette, its very strong, and a little will go a long way! Its a powerful floral oriental smell, and nothing like the Eau Fraiche or the Eau Tendre which are more light. It lasts very long throughout the day so you only need one spritz on your wrists and your out the door. If you like the more stronger Chanel scents like Coco or No 5, you will probably like this one. Because it lasts long you will get a good value for your money.

This blush is very sheer and its great for layering. Because its a loose mineral blush it almost gives you an airbrushed finish, which is awesome! Considering its matte finish! I didnt have a problem with splotchiness at all because it just glided on so smoothly! I have this is Coral and Joy. Coral is just what it is.. gives a nice coral sheen, great for summer! Joy is more of a pinky mauve and gives you a nice rosy cheek, almost like Nars 'Lovejoy' without the shimmer. It wears very well, it lasted about 5-6 hours, so its great for work or if your just out doing errands. Its only $5! So I think its well worth the money! Packaging could be better.. the caps sometimes dont fit well, but Im willing to sacrifice.
