I bought this after a recommendation from a friend - I was looking for a cheaper alternative to a tinted moisturizer. $6 at Target - couldn't pass it up. It's oil free, SPF 15, glides on nicely, doesn't cause breakouts... but I can't see it! I know tinted moisturizer is to provide just a hint of color to even out skin tone - I have used tinted moisturizers in the past. However this one I couldn't tell the difference once put on other than my skin felt hydrated. It you REALLY want the natural look, this may be fine (a color darker than your natural skin tone may give you a natural glow), but it was too moisturizer and not enough tint for me.

The combo of three colors is great because you can really get a custom shade - one perfect for eyes, another for zits, a different for redness. My skin is light, but I have found the lightest shade in the Light palette is far too pale for me - try it in the store before you purchase. The brush is soft, but I found the product works better when patted onto the skin with a ring finger. Thick, creamy, doesn't crease, lasts a long time, blends easily on moisturized or already foundationed skin. The best (and the most natural color) I have tried in a very long time.

If you don't apply this product correctly you may not like it. I put on moisturizer first, then The Present. Then let it sit for a MINIMUM of 2 minutes (five is even better). A little goes a long way. The product does minimize the look of pores and fine lines alone, but also is an amazing makeup primer. Your skin will feel a bit gummy, but it just helps the foundation and such stick better to the skin. Once your makeup is on, your skin feels normal, but it looks better (and the look lasts longer). No issues with breakouts or irritation.

This was purchased on a whim online - even guessed the color. Well the color was perfect (Beige for my light skin), and the product is amazing! I have not been to thrilled with powder and mineral foundations int he past - this really blends beautifully, looks natural and not overly shiny or matte, lasts all day, doesn't irritate like some mineral products, does well with touch-ups from more products or a pressed powder. I have found it has lasted far longer than other powder foundations and the packaging is genius (though I did invest in a replacement puff).

I have always been one who was willing to pay for great lashes and was very skeptical of this mascara. However I tried it... and fell in love! It separates, lengthens, thickens, keeps a curl, doesn't flake, doesn't irritate my sensitive contact-wearing eyes, lasts all day and I think gives as much oomph as my favorite designer mascaras. All for a very low price!

Other than the covetable Shu Eumura, this is the best lash curler I have tried. It doesn't crimp lashes, it gives a natural curl and doesn't hurt or pinch the lid. I do not find the curl to be as long lasting as Shu Eumura, but for the price, this lash curler by Revlon is a great buy and will do fine.

I am not too much of a fan. I have tried two different colors, and both I found to have a weird consistency that didn't spread well, the sparkles feel grainy on the lips, the taste and smell are a bit chemical and it doesn't seem to last as long as other glosses on the market. If you are looking for pigment with your gloss, this product does pack the punch - I bought one specifically for the color of the package and got the bright juicy shade I wanted and the shine. However the feel and the lasting quality makes me not be a repeat buyer.

The colors are high-pigment, great shades that compliment one another and a ton of skin tones. The shimmer colors are wearable for day or can be wetted for a more intense evening look. The color DOES stay and can survive an entire work day or a hot and sweaty night club. MY only issue is that some of the colors crumble in the packaging. Other than that, the product is sheer perfection and the best shadow I have used of any price point!

If you are like me with wavy, thin yet lots of hair, you NEED this product. A tiny dab added while damp will control hair that is dried straight, or encourage wave to hair that air dries. A small amount on dry hair will provide gentle separation and shine to long layers or definition and shine to waves and curls. The smell is delicious and a tube will last you for about a year so it is a good buy as well!

I splurged on my 30th birthday with Nars blush in Orgasm. Prior to that I wore bronzer or maybe a blush from a drugstore but I felt a new decade deserved a treat. I am turning 33 next year and am still using the SAME compact of Nars Orgasm, with almost daily wear! The metal is showing but I think I will get through another year without needing replacement. The shimmer is subtle - perfect for day wear and will garner tons of compliments about your complexion and health. The color is gorgeous and natural and layers well to have a fine flush or a rosy glow. Never an issue with looking powdery, cakey or clogging pores. Amazing amazing product and completely worth all the hype!
