    Lovely base/primer. Works well on fine, dryish skin that's prone to sensitive and downright temperamental moments - no drying out and flaking, and no irritations and rashes. Two main uses here: (1)...

    I really don't get this product. I was so excited to use it, but it did NOTHING for me. Rubbing the greasy stuff on my face with the weird spatula it came with made me feel like a birthday cake....

    This product was useless for me. The only promise it delivered in was velvety skin, which is only becuase its chock full of silicone. The packaging was pretty brainless, would be much better in a...

    This product rocks. It has acaia beads in it to moisturize, and soften lines. You can use it to fill in large pores, lines even around the eyes, and neck. The neck has no oil glands, so if your...

    This is my first primer, and the texture is like velvet. It goes on really well when your skin is dehydrated and dry. But during the summer, it feels like it's blocking my pores. There was a debate...

    I have no clue how I found out about this product, but it REALLY works. First off, the pot it comes in can break if you drop it, so that's annoying. And it's small, but if it were any bigger I...
