Almost perfect!

This concealer is a nice drugstore concealer. While I use a different concealer under my eyes (Maybelline dreamlumi mixed with a color corrector), I use this concealer for just about everything else. It's buildable by itself, mixes well with either color correctors or other, heavier concealers for custom coverage, and doesn't cake. It's not a 24 hour concealer like the name says, but it is rather long-wearing if properly set with powder (I estimated around 7 or 8 hours on my oily skin with a setting of translucent powder in an informal test). The only problem I have is that the line needs more shade and undertone options!

great for undereyes, iffy on other areas

This concealer(especially when mixed with the tiniest bit of nyx concealer in a jar in orange for color correction) helps to cover, hide, and brighten the dark circles and shadows under my eyes. I'm iffy on using it on other areas like pimples or acne scars, though. It doesn't quite highlight the areas, per se, but it doesn't look totally concealed and looks off somehow on other areas compared to using it on undereye circles. So it may be a one trick pony, as it were, but it's a lovely, eye-brightening trick!

Good for long hair

My hair is extremely short now, but before I cut it, I loved using this once a week. My hair is normally oily, but when long the midlengths and ends can dry out and be brittle, and this stuff(specifically the one labeled strong, there's at least one other labeled moist that I haven't used) brings it right back to normalcy.

Really brings out wave and volume

I have thick slightly wavy hair that mostly lays flat. With this spray, my waves really amp up and my hair becomes voluminous, like I just spent a day at the ocean. It is mildly sticky (but I expect that from a salt spray) and has a strong coconut smell (which I enjoy, but is not for everyone), but it's cheap and really works!

Extremely smooth!

This powder goes on smooth, sets makeup really well, and cuts down on shine. You do have to make sure to blend well with either the included powder puff or a brush, as there is a little "flash back" with flash photography if the powder isn't blended well. Overall, a very nice powder.

Good, but needs improvement

I use this about once a week on my nose, and while I didn't notice a difference right away, in about four weeks my pores looked less clogged and maybe a little less noticeable. I think I'll stick with it. The pore strips do lose a point for leaving residue when I remove them, though.

Good for a dewy look

I got this and the nars highlighting powder in albatross, and I have to say it's a close fight over which is better, but the powder wins by a hair. This is more dewy looking (making it a must for those with dry skin and those who like the dewy look, and since I have oily skin, it's difficult but not unworkable) and better for a no makeup makeup look, but being a liquid, it is slightly harder to work with and easy to overdo. Once you get past the learning curve, though, it's absolutely lovely.

Lovely glow

I decided to buy this after seeing so many recommendations on the message boards here at beautylish. I have to say, it lives up to all the hype. It gives a nice gold glow that illuminates but is not glittery. It's also finely milled, and almost impossible to overdo. I can't recommend this enough!

Avoid at all costs!

I tried this after I received a sample. It says to leave on for three minutes and wipe off, no rinsing. I managed to keep it on for the whole three minutes, which was a trial because it BURNED badly! I checked the ingredients list after, and as it turns out this product contains mint, which can be cooling but on sensitive delicate areas like under the eyes can burn and leave the area raw and inflamed. Use with caution, because the mint makes this product burn and it did nothing for my puffiness and dark circles, anyway. Lot of hassle, no results!

Strong and sexy

I'm pretty noncommittal when it comes to fragrance. I never settle on one for too long. That said, I love this. It really lasts, smells sexy but not cloying or overdone, and lingers just a little bit on the skin long after most scents would have faded. Perfect for date nights, but I'm definitely thinking about making this my signature scent.
