I always use the makeup. It is the only makeup I ever use. It gives me perfect skin. I got this kit to try the insta-tox. It did nothing for me. I tried it several times hoping it would work on fine lines on my forhead. I followed the instructions every time.

First of all, the Insta-tox did nothing. And the makeup...did not like at all. And what is with these brushes? This is the second cosmetic product I have received and some of the bristles always fall out when applying.

I've used InstA-tox for over 4 years. I don't have wrinkles but large pores and it really tightens them. The secret is, less is better. If you're seeing it turn white, you've used too much. I wait 3 minutes before applying anything else. I've been using mineral makeup for years and SSC's covers as well as my present brand and contains more product.Less is better. It gets a 4 only because a good brush with proper care will last for years so I would like to see this without the brush as mandatory.

Tried every pointer, every instruction, will not keep wrinkles at bay, the moment you move your face the wrinkles are back. The mineral powder accents any enlarged pores/wrinkles. Items going back. Also, for medium, powder is too light.

The InstA-tox left a white flaky substance behind and the pro-minerals makeup is not any better. The color is way off, the shade is too light. I really want to believe in this product but it did not do anything for me. I'm giving this kit to my GF to try, we'll see if it works for her.

I didn't have much success with the instatox. If the product wouldn't turn white and flaky, it would be a true winner. Does hide the wrinkles, but leaves a horrible white, flaky substance behind.

I was not sure about ordering this. I can not belive just how it made me look. We are talking years younger. I thought I would have problems but I started with the least amount at first and waited and I just could not belive what I was seeing I would like to buy stock in this and will not be without it. Thanks so much for making me look the way I feel...Years younger!!!!!!

why do we always have to have a new brush? Hopefully, there will be an option to buy just the makeup with no brush, which would cut down on the cost also. The Insta Tox takes a little getting used to, but less used is the key!

I tried every mineral foundation there is and they all made my complexion look muddy, flat, the seep into pores & lines, nopt too mention they are way over-priced!. I just about gave up trying and then I saw Jen talking about ProMinerals I decided to try once more, and am I glad I did! I couldn't believe it! This gives my 52 year old face a luminoius healthy glow & DOES not I repeat DOES NOT seep into lines & wrinkles. The value is amazing too!

Most people usually think I'm 10 years younger than I am - which is nice now that I am 42. But since I've started wearing this makeup everyone is now commenting on how I look even younger. I'm not using the wrinkle cream, but everyone is asking what I've done to get rid of the wrinkles that I do have. It gives you that youthful glow and looks and feels great. I've tried many and this so far is the best.

I love the prominerals makeup. Just a few swirls and I have a model's face. The trick to remember is "less is more", but you can always brush off any excess. This is so natural-looking that people can't believe I'm wearing any makeup at all! Best of all it doesn't take me a half hour to put my makeup on anymore, and that makes my husband very happy!

The facial powder is lightweight yet covers nicely. The brush is perfect for applying the powder. The Insta-Tox really worked well for me - gave me a boost in confidence in my 54 year old skin!

I have tried mineral foundations that range from the "best of the best" to the "top of the line" to the "cheapest" but, absolutely none of them can compare to this one. I love this foundation and have been placed on autoship so as never to run out.
Thank you Jennifer for all your hard work and wonderful products.

once you get the hang of a light application of the instatox it works miracles; people have guessed me 15 years younger. you only need a little bit. the mineral foundation provides great coverage but it takes a little practice to get the coverage just right.

I have always loved the instatox.I read the review that said it is white and chalky after it dries;maybe you are using too much of the product.When I apply on my jawline and under my chin, I look like I have lost 10 lbs.I was already using another mineral line and wasn't crazy about it,so I purchased this kit to try the pro-minerale.I don't have great skin to start with but this makes my skin luminous!Plus you get so much more product than the other lines I have tried.

I too found the inststox drying and not effective. The make-up was too light even with the tan color I bought. This is going back. I have shopped HSN for 20+ years and this is my first review.

InstaTox feels very drying, which I guess that's what it is supposed to do, but truth be told, I'd rather have my wrinkles and a luminous skin. There is no luminosity when I've used this product. As for the ProMinerals, I was disappointed with that too. I put it on lightly and looked like I was sick! I wear "medium" foundation, but this just didn't look good on me. I could hardly wait to wash the entire stuff off! I didn't feel younger or look younger, I thought I looked awful.

The Insta-Tox has to sit on your wrinkles for 3 minutes while you hold an "expressionless" face. . .what happens when you begin to move . .well it turns chalky white and cracks. The mineral makeup was not acceptable and far from the "tan" color I expected to receive. The most unacceptable part was the brush. . .rough and did not hold the product. This set is going back today!

I was very excited about this makeup until I put it on. The dark-colored make-up is NOT made for African-American skin of dark brown skin tone (and I don't mean dark olive skin). The makeup color is way too light! I should have known because SSC always uses the lighter complexioned AA models on television to represent dark tones. Get more realistic models. I'm very disappointed. The Instatox, it didn't work and I INSTANTLY placed it back in the box! In short, it's all going back to HSN!
