I have this in several shades. Valiant - MAC Cornflower dupe (lavender/blue w/pink flash), Tenacious - peachy-bronze, Intrepid - MAC Blue-Brown dupe, Visionary - MAC Cocomotion dupe (dark yellow-gold), Unashamed - browned purple-pink.
All are gorgeous shades, with amazing pigment & lasting power. The price is a bit steep esp for the size (MAC is a better value unless you can find these on a big markdown)

Picked up a trial pack of the Smooth set at Walmart for $3. Quite a bargain considering the bottles are decent sized & $7 for the full size.
I normally use volumizing products but I realized that they have been rather hard on my hair so I've been trying to use formulas with more moisture. The first thing I noticed about the shampoo is the very rich, creamy lather. It did feel a bit dry when I rinsed it out but most of the shampoos I use (most SLS-free) usually feel drier than that. I used the matching conditioner on my ends. I left it on for a few mins & when I rinsed it out my hair felt very silky.
Now my hair is VERY shiny & feels silky to the touch (but not so soft that I feel like I can't do anything with it - which is always my pet peeve w/moisturizing products).
Hair does not get greasy or heavy, even 2 days after washing. Great stuff & will continue to repurchase

Love this stuff. Goes on very smooth & lasts all day. When I first got it I swatched it on the back of my hand & even though I tried to wash it off several times, it wouldn't budge. lol One tip: I use the Sonia Kashuk bent e/l brush with this... +

One tip: I use the Sonia Kashuk bent e/l brush with this. It's a complete mess to wash afterward w/soap& water so I just wipe it off w/a tissue immediately after use.

I have this in Secretive (champagne), Nervy (taupe) & Steely (black). I use the Secretive one the most. I had been wanting cream eyeshadow for awhile. This stuff is great. Even without primer, this lasts all day without creasing.
NOTE: I would recommend unfolding the end of the tube before opening to avoid having a bunch come out as soon as you break the seal

This review is for the Gel Cleanser & the Spot Treatment.
This stuff is the absolute BEST! It's great stuff. Between the Gel Cleanser & the spot treatment I haven't had a breakout in over a month (even during hormonal times). I do have normal skin, no acne but breakouts weren't uncommon for me.

LOVE this stuff. I just wanted a basic moisturizer. This sinks in well, can be worn under makeup & moisturizes for a very long time. I don't love the scent but oh well. I also haven't had a breakout since I started using this over a month... +
LOVE this stuff. I just wanted a basic moisturizer. This sinks in well, can be worn under makeup & moisturizes for a very long time. I don't love the scent but oh well. I also haven't had a breakout since I started using this over a month ago (probably also in part because I've been using Burt's Bees Acne Cleanser at any sign of a breakout starting)
I also love that the bottle is so streamlined & simple. Small pleasures.
