I tried a sample and I loved it. It spread easily and wasn't to heavy, matte, or sheer. I'm actually thinking of buying it when I get some xmas money!

I love this foundation
Keeps the oily spots matte and the drier spots nice and moisturized without being a heavy feeling foundation. I wore it on my wedding day and my skin looked FLAWLESS.

I used to use Superbalanced... it looked ok on me and didn't make me break out like other foundations can. Not too heavy. However, I found that the colour was just a liiiitle bit off - the best match for me was just a tad too "pinky" for my liking. So I switched to Chanel Teint Fluide Universel, which is absolutely awesome - way better colour match if you have more yellow undertones. I find that it leaves a much more natural-looking and smooth finish whereas Superbalanced sometimes looked uneven and slightly powdery/chalky. Plus, Chanel's has SPF 15 whereas Clinique's doesn't (although a lot of people hate spf in their foundation anyway). And I'm a little dubious about the claims that it absorbs oil AND provides moisture where needed - I think instead that it's more of a "balanced" formula for combination skin and doesn't actually absorb anything (absorb it where, btw??) - plus, I've read articles where professionals claim that a foundation cannot do this anyway. Sorry to be a bit of a naysayer - but I guess it all boils down to trying it out - if it works for you and matches your skin tone, then go for it! All in all I found it not too bad, but there are better foundations out there.
