    I bought this based on the excellent reviews here (they were 100% repurchase at the time) and was very disappointed with it. I do use a primer on a daily basis (TF Primed and Poreless) so I'm...

    I had the exact same experience as marmalade two reviews down. I kept waiting for the wow factor (once I did get it to sink in) and it never came...just another (IMO useless) layer. When I do use...

    I love this so much! The price is sort of high but it's definitely worth it, imo. A very small amount of the product is needed, and it really "resurfaces" my face! I have a large pores but when I...

    To me this is what would result if Monistat Anti-Chafe Gel and Smashbox Artificial Light in Diffuse had a baby, except the shimmer doesn't show up so I'm not sure why they have it. Maybe it looks...

    I heart this. I also love UD Brightening Primer Potion. But this is much cheaper and has a different effect. The UD gives your skin a glow. The L'oreal is kind of like a spackle. You know it fills...

    I was extremely impressed by this product. You need very little and it does make makeup last the whole day without looky cakey. I would highly recommend it!

    This is such an awesome product. As others mentioned, it's an exact dupe of Clarins Instant Smooth (and same size container too), but it's only around $12 instead of $32. This works great for...

    I really like this stuff. It really smooths out and mattifies my oily skin. I was a bit afraid of the whiteness of it, but it goes on invisibly. I don't like the pot though. It's not hygenic, as...
