I find this foundation smells MUCH better than Revlon's Colorstay (which smells vaguely of paint).
It's got good coverage for my sensitive, sometime dry, sometime oily skin. I am prone to breakouts and I have a lot of redness that I need to cover. This does a great job at that. I still always use a base of green concealer to reduce the redness, but I've tried this on it's own and it works really well. I've used whipped foundations that go on heavy only and I like this one because it's still good coverage in one layer, but the more you layer it, the better it gets... and it never looks too heavy.
They also have a good range of colors. I am extremely pale and it's hard to find a foundation that doesn't make my skin look orange. I have cool undertones, and the color I have (Porcelain Ivory) is slightly pink which is good for me.
As for the 24 hour promise... I don't think it's true. It does last a long time but definitely not 24 hours. It does last better through sweat than other foundations I've tried but it's not "transfer free" which is what Maybelline claims. But when I set it with a pressed powder, it does last quite a long time.
There's only one complaint I have about this stuff... and that's how it's packaged. It's a glass container that has a small opening so I have to use my concealer brush to get it out and I use my larger foundation brush to spread it. But it's a small compromise.
I do recommend using a foundation brush for this though, I found it works better than my fingers. Sponges would be good too.
Overall, this is what I think:
Pros:
- nice consistency/smell - good coverage with the ability to add layers without being cakey
- good color range for all skin colors - covers redness without making my skin break out (oil free)
Cons:
- dispenser is a glass container without pump
- doesn't live up to 24 hour claim... although I don't think ANY foundation does.

Dell Inspiron 1420

I really love this laptop. The price is great and the quality could not be better. I've never heard anything bad about the quality or service at Dell and I have nothing to break that record. I love the size of the 14" screen because it's a lot more portable than the 15.4", which is becoming the standard for most laptops. The color choice is amazing and Dell offers a lot of choice when it comes to the actual specs of the laptop. Although I'm not a fan of Vista, it's becoming impossible to avoid but I did replace it with XP on the 1420 and did so without voiding my warranty with Dell. I would definitely recommend this laptop to anyone since it can be customized the handle tasks from a computer amateur or an expert plus the portability of the machine makes it invaluable to any student. -

This product promises to be useful for emergency pimple control and I found it worked somewhat well. In spite of the sticky feeling it left on my skin and it's false claims to be a perfect base for make-up, it did reduce the size of many blemishes. However, I did find that it dried out my sensitive skin after prolonged use and also tended to increase the redness around most pimples. For that reason, I don't recommend it to others with sensitive, dry or red skin but it might prove more effective on normal or oily skin. -

I tried this because I normally love scrubs with micro-beads but I was less than impressed by this product. Like most other cleansers for acne-prone skin, it dried out my sensitive skin and increased the redness on any existing pimples that I already had which made them look worse. I did like the smell of it, and it might work on someone with less sensitive skin but otherwise, I don't recommend it. -
