Along with everyone else who's tried this product, it is extremely gentle and leaves your skin feeling soft. I have crazy skin that's dry after the slightest bit of water touches it, so I moisturize anyways afterwards. However, one thing I disagree with all of the other reviewers is that it does not remove my eye-makeup at all. I wear MAC Fluidline and two coats of waterproof mascara. I massage it into my face and gently around my eyes, and then rinse it or wipe it off. Either way, I'm left with black rings around my eyes and most of the mascara is left behind, stuck to my eyelashes. On the plus side, my skin has not reacted to it (I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin), and there seems to be no adverse reactions with acne. Overall, I would repurchase until I find a better/more directed towards clearing up my skin cleanser. Update: This will take off my makeup...but only after I massage it in for 30 seconds. Also have strayed and will definitely repurchase as it's gentle and effective.

I adore adore adore this mascara. It goes on as the last coat and plumps my lashes to no end! I have gorgeous volume as well as thickness at the base. I defected before to other volumizing brands, but I keep on coming back to this. For the price and the fullness it provides, there really is no equal. The only close one may be CoverGirl's new orange mascara.

I agree with the other readers, this product was very moisturizing and smooth-feeling. HOWEVER, it has awful coverage. I tested it out first at Sephora with foundation and coverup on, and it didn't change my skin's appearance at all. All it did was make my skin feel smooth and moisturized. Overall, good for a moisturizer, but not good for a tinted moisturizer.

This was a wonderfully rich night cream. My skin is chronically dry in the winters, and it provided an amazing amount of moisture and I was left with no flaking. HOWEVER, and personally, this is a big if, the smell is gross. It smells kind of like maplesugar/syrup oatmeal, and I kept on smelling it the entire night and thought I was going to throw up. Unless they come out with a non-smelly version, I am NOT repurchasing. It's a shame though. It's such a nice cream for such a low price, AND it caused no reaction on my ridiculously sensitive skin.

For the 6 dollars that I paid for it, this powder covered and layered beautifully. It didn't stay very well, but it looked good while it lasted, though shine turned up within 3 hours, and I do not have oily skin. The pan is very shallow though, and when you start getting thinner, the powder tends to break, making a huge mess. I would not repurchase as I have now switched to a higher-end powder, but it is a good bargain buy.

For the price, I expect...I don't know, something SPECTACULAR. It wasn't. The main thing it had going for it was the gorgeous pattern, and that was gone after a few uses. Overall, nice colors and good texture. Just too high a price for the pattern that disappears so soon.

I've been using this shampoo for about 4 weeks now, and have noticed a significant decrease in the amount of frizz I get. It gives you a squeaky clean feeling but doesn't leave your hair feeling brittle. I would recommend this product for thick and unmanageable hair.

Not impressed. Bought this on the recommendation of a Sephora employee, and while I tried it on at the store on my hand and it evened out my skin there, it doesn't do much for my skin on my face. It makes it smoother when I'm putting it on, but there's no visible difference nor does my skin feel different when I'm wearing makeup with it or without it. Also, I was told that it would be a good non-makeup day solution. Ha. Useless.

I received this product as a sample. It was a VERY generously sized sample, such that I've been using it for 2 weeks, and it appears though I can use it for another 4. This product cleared up my minimal acne problems. However, it does tend to be drying, so it is generally advisable to use a heavier moisturizer than you would normally. Given that it is now winter, I switched to a cream a few days after I started this cleanser, and it does not appear to cause any substantial problems. The tingly sensation is very nice, and makes me feel like there's actually something being done to cleanse my skin. It doesn't clear EVERYTHING up, but it acts as a good cleanser, clearing acne up after the flare ups. It does not prevent acne.

Low coverage is true. My skin's redness and unevenness was still slightly visible, and the powder is just a tad drying for my skin. It may be the winter weather, but I ended up with dry patches on my face after the powder was applied. Not sure about allergies yet, so far so good.
