    I had always wanted to try this, because I was enamored by the infomercials. I wasn't about to buy it without trying it, so when I was in Sephora in NYC, I waited for a long time to have one of the...

    This product is absolutely awful. It instantly made me look shiny, and adhered to every imperfection I had. I would not recommend this product to anybody. Total rip off.

    Oh brother! What is the big deal about this product! It makes skin shiny like a disco ball and emphasizes lines, wrinkles, and pores like nothing I've ever seen! Is the fact that it's "natural"...
