This cleanser wasn't really "multi" miracle for me. I first tried it as a cleansing balm and like it well enough. The smell is quite strong, like lilac to me, so anyone seeking a no- or low-fragranced product will not be happy with this! I don'd mind it though. I tried it as an overnight moisturizing mask and found no results the next day. No hydration, brightness, anything like that. There's a lot of product in there, so that's a plus, though the jar packaging isn't ideal. -

Where has this mascara been all my life? I will admit I was skeptical about using a primer on my lashes before mascara but this works well together. It's too bad L'Oréal doesn't offer this in a two pack of individual full size tubes (one primer, one mascara). I did a fair amount of research before purchasing, I've never used tubing style mascara before but I was really tired of flaking and smudging with regular mascaras, not to mention it's allergy season and my eyes itch and water like crazy. I found that the best way to apply this is with a thick/generous coat of primer (this provides some volume since tubing mascara generally only provide length) and before the primer dries apply the mascara over top. The mascara coats the primer easily, no issues with white primer showing through, and gives insane length to your lashes. There is ZERO clumping, even when applied with a heavy hand. There is ZERO smudging, ZERO flaking, etc. This stays in place all day long and come off easily with just water-soaked cotton rounds.
A couple of issues that you should consider before purchasing is that with this much product on your lashes you probably won't hold a curl all that well. I'm not talking stick straight lashes but definitely they will droop some. The other thing that another reviewer also mentioned is that it's not the blackest of mascara but I believe this is because of the white primer base underneath. This is not an issue for me but if you are looking for intensely pigmented jet black mascara you won't get it with this product. What you will get are super long, clump-free separated lashes that will not irritate your eyes, will last all day without flaking, smudging, smearing, etc.
If you haven't given tubing style mascara a try yet, this is an affordable entry point and I recommend testing it out before venturing into the high-end brands.

Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm
I love this cleanser. It's effective and doesn't cause me any irritation nor does it using it result in breakouts. I use it at night to take off my sunscreen and makeup then follow it up with a sulphur cleanser prescribed to me by my dermatologist... +
I love this cleanser. It's effective and doesn't cause me any irritation nor does it using it result in breakouts. I use it at night to take off my sunscreen and makeup then follow it up with a sulphur cleanser prescribed to me by my dermatologist. It takes off all my makeup effortlessly without much rubbing in and rinses off easily. I just wish it came in a tube instead of a tub. That would be a lot more hygienic. I took off one lipstick for that reason. Despite the less than ideal packaging, I will continue to use and repurchase. -
Kosas Revealer Super Creamy and Brightening Concealer

I'm impressed with this concealer. There's lots of concealers that are adequate and do the job but aren't noteworthy at all but this one stands out to me. It blends beautifully and gives you a very skin like but perfected finish. I'm using this mainly as an under-eye concealer... my under eyes are easy, no wrinkles or deep lines or dark circles so I'm not trying to camouflage huge issues. I just need something simple, light and natural looking. This definitely meets that criteria. I don't think this brand does really well with cool and pink toned complexion products but 0.5 works for me, I'm very pale and pink/cool toned. -

This blush is a beautiful warm peachy pink with just the right amount of shimmer (in my opinion--it is rather a lot of shimmer to some). It's very pigmented, so a light brush goes a long way and this product will last and give you a lot of use in relation to a fairly low price. It's very soft, though because of this, it "kicks off" quite a bit of powder--be aware of surrounding surfaces when applying. The gold packaging's pretty, if not the most streamlined. -
