I have combination skin and found this cleanser way too drying for my face. It made my face sting and lift it dry and tight. I also thought the scent was too strong for a face product. I ended up using the rest of the bottle as a body wash. Not a good purchase.

I used this liner daily for a few years until finding some products I like better. It goes on fairly easily and gives a lighter deposit of color for everyday wear. It can be layered for a more dramatic look, but I was never able to acheive a good smoky eye with it. I found that it tended to smudge under my eyes a bit by the end of the day, and I have found that cream and powder liners go on more smoothly. Still, it's one of the better stick-type liners I've used.

I got some of this in a gift-with-purchase, and I wouldn't buy it again. The color and moisturizing factor were ok, but it was sticky and didn't last long. I also didn't like the taste. This might work for you if you are looking for a gloss made without flavor added, but I am not a fan.

I tried this in "blondish" and was very disappointed. It worked ok as a dry shampoo/root booster, but the color got all over everything and was WAY too dark (and my hair is a dark blonde). I ended up giving it to my mom, who has brown hair. The color worked better for her, but she never used it again after showing up to a meeting with brown streaks all over her hands. Bottom line: the color is too dark and doesn't stay put. It's also pretty expensive for a tiny little bottle. I have found other brands that work better and are a better value.

I love this clean fragrance because it lasts all day without reapplying. A little bit goes a long way, and the scent stays true over time (I have had the same bottle for over a year and it still smells fresh). The bottle also looks great in my bathroom!

I tried this product because of the SPF, but I ended up liking everything else about it, too. It's a good moisturizer without being greasy like some hand creams I've tried. I also like that it doesn't have much of a scent, so it doesn't compete with my perfume or offend people who are nearby when I use it. The bottle has a slim, purse-friendly design. The only reason I didn't give it a perfect 10 is that it's a little spendy for something I tend to go through so quickly. I don't have to use a ton, though, so I hope this tube will last a while.

I bought this set for my mom for Christmas, and was very excited to try it out on her. We both ended up being disappointed in the v-shaped brush--it just did not acheive the effect it promised. I tried to follow the directions as printed, but the v-brush just didn't work the way it was supposed to. It was hard to avoid getting shadow on the whole surface of the brush (thus ruining the two-pronged effect) since the bristles were CUT into a 'v' shape rather than being two separate clumps of long strands. It was also hard to maneuver the brush to bring the points together at the outer corner of the eye. It would have been easier to create the look using a regular pointed brush. I still give the kit a few points because the shadow colors are nice, but I wouldn't purchase it for anyone else.

This product works really well: it zaps grease without creating gunky buildup. It also seems to be colorless, unlike other formulas I've tried that are either tinted too darkly or leave white residue. Unfortunately, I found the smell terrible! When I first used it, my boyfriend asked me why my head stank. I also used it during a trip to the cabin, and all my family members agreed that it had an unpleasant odor. The smell dies away a little over time, so I have still been using it, but I'm going to keep trying other brands before going back to this one again.

I tried this because I found it on clearance and I really ended up liking it. It's not exactly a miracle product or anything, but it does what a mousse is supposed to do: adds body and shaping without stickiness or extra weight. I also liked that it doesn't have much of a scent. One bottle lasted me quite a while with regular use. I would definitely purchase it again.

I use a number of the Bare Minerals products and recently started using the All-Over Face Color. I apply it like I would a bronzer (on the forehead, cheeks, and chin), and it really looks nice on my pale skin. It's sheer, so you can build up as much color as you want. I especially like the lighter shades for adding color to my face in the winter, when I don't want the full-on bronzed look.
