The REAL DEAL

I received a sample of Revive MRC from a friend at Barney's. I wasn't expecting amazing results as I've never heard of this brand before (3 years ago)... In only 3 days I saw dramatic results! My skin was glowing! The texture of my skin improved immediately. The only draw back is the price point. If you're looking for a moisturizer that works great for oily/combo/acne prone skin this is one of the best!

Not as good as it sounds...

I used this product due to my ridiculously oily scalp. I have dry ends, so washing my hair everyday isn't an option. I'd opt to wash only my top half of my head which still meant I had to blow dry and flat iron my hair. I have naturally wavy hair- yes odd for a Korean I know.

I'd have to use quit a bit of this product to get the non-oily look I wanted. You have to spend a good amount of time (depending on the color of your hair) to blend the white powder into your hair. Plus the bottle doesn't last since you have to use a lot. I found the scent too heavy, a big no-no for me.

Best Top Coat EVER!

Hands down the BEST top coat! It seals you nail color to prevent chipping, leaves your nails shiny and brilliant. It dries quickly and your color lasts longer! I haven't explored the rest of the line but I plan on it.

Simple and Easy Multipurpose Glam

I received this as a sample in the South Beach color. This color looks great on the apples of your cheeks as a blush but has no staying power. I think I'll try it as a highlighter instead. The color is beautiful it just doesn't hold.

You can customize the coverage!

This was a default powder because I couldn't afford to spend the $$$ on my favorite Armani Pressed Powder. I'm very picky with powders and foundations so I was hesitant..but I figured if it sucked I could return it.

The "Hello Flawless" is pretty dang good. The quality of the powder is super fine which goes on smooth. It comes with a mini brush and a sponge so you can choose how much coverage you want. I've only used it so far as a finishing powder to keep my skin looking natural.

I use it with the "That Gal" Primer and it works great together. You look FAB in natural sunlight! I have to say wearing primers, concealers, foundations, and powders looks great indoors but once you step outside you look like a freakshow!

I think if they changed the packaging a little people would believe that it actually is a great product that works.. I can see from the reviews below all of us were skeptical at first.

Achieve a natural, flawless skin glow in seconds

I bought this with some skepticism; I have quite oily skin, so I do not like the aid of primers especially ones that contain silicon. That Gal is very quick and simple to put on with the click tube applicator; you can get just the right amount to dab on cheeks, forehead, nose and chin. A little goes a long way! I use my Make-Up Forever Concealer and finish off with a brush of Benefit's Hello Flawless Powder. I was quite surprised to see how bright my skin was, best of the primer doesn't feel heavy or thick.

It's okay....

The marketing copy makes this product sounds like it works way better than it actually does. I find the consistency of the "cream" to be too fluid thus not doing much to cover up any dark circles. I agree that it's super lightweight and great for the "I'm not wearing make-up" looks but this HAS to be used with a concealer or foundation to really make any significant impact. It's inexpensive and easy to apply so I end up buying it as a back up to my Touche Eclat by YSL.

Be aware of the lighting you are in; pictures can pick up the brightening effect more than you think, so don't go overboard with applying too much.

Quick and Easy

You can always count on BM in a pinch. The coverage is medium to full if you use a concealer underneath. Primer is usually needed with BM and I'm not a fan of excess products on the skin. Most primers contain silicon- not good for skin. You can see some sheen/shine in the powder thus the mineral veil is sold as combo.. Too many steps for me. I don't think BM gives you a "natural" looking coverage. You def look like you're wearing make-up.

Elegant

This is my favorite perfume by far! I always get compliments from strangers all the time. It's not too strong and I can't smell it on me most of the time. Very classy and elegant, slightly powdery but not overwhelming. I also like the fact that not a lot of people know about it!

Glowing Skin in Seconds!

The peach mosaic shimmer bloc is one of my make-up essentials. You can build the intensity for a night look or just brush on a little for a natural healthy glow. I find that it works well with NARS Creme Blush in Cactus Flower; together you get that sexy GLOW! The only reason I don't give the shimmer bloc 5 stars: the bloc will start to crumble and eventually break into pieces, leaving your make-up bag with shimmery peach residue EVERYWHERE. I end up putting it in a ziplock baggie and using it ghetto fab style... The price point is fairly high considering this is not a "core" product.
