A good value, lasts forever!
I've been using this since January and I absolutely love it! It doesn't give a flashback in photographs. It helps refine the look of pores. It's a fine milled powder. It feels light weight. If I know I'm going to have a busy day, I can really pack this on and it doesn't look cakey or give a powdery residue. It soaks up the oils without attracting the dry patches I can have on my cheeks. I do notice that when I set my concealer under my eyes with this, it doesn't last as long as the rest of my face. That is something to keep in mind. I also pack on the under eye concealer due to blue veins. I also have a sample jar of this from a kit, it's still half full!! This lasts forever.
It's not tear proof... Too expensive!
This is a good liner. The brush is tiny, flexible, and easy to use. It truly does glide on. It's a shiny dark inky black. Most of the time I go over with gel liner to matte it. This is waterproof in the sense that you can swatch it on your hand, rub it, wash your hands, and it won't move. I'm sure if your got your eyes wet from rain or something it wouldn't budge. It lasts throughout the day. However, I wouldn't wear this anywhere you know you'll be crying. It comes off faster than any liner I've ever used!! It's not salt water proof I suppose. For the price, I'd say that it's a deceiving rip off. NYX has great liners with the same brush for about a fourth of the UD price and it doesn't give a claim that'll make you angry later.
Needs to be Paraben Free!
I bought the Murad Live Clear Kit. This is a great moisturizer, satin finish. Most matte moisturizer suck the oils out of my face and turn it into sandpaper. It doesn't irritate or clog my pores. It doesn't have an offensive smell. BUT! I won't repurchase this because it isn't Paraben Free. Parabens react with UVA/UVB Rays and can cause skin cancer. If they reformulate it, I'll buy it.
In LOVE! Great Spring/Summer shade!
This was my birthday present. I'm so glad I asked for it! It's a beautiful pink coral shade, verging on the watermelon side. The satin formula is amazing. It stays locked on my lips, has a shine without looking glossy (after blotting), and is moisturizing. It doesn't feel cakey, heavy, gross, or drying one bit. The fat that there's 0.14 oz of product instead of the normal 0.08 has me completely sold! I put on Too Face Lip Insurance Primer under the lipstick went to dinner, I had soup, bread, and 3 glasses of water, this was still on my lips like new!
Dark Circle Eraser!!
I need this in a shade lighter, Y0. This is the only concealer I've found that covers my blue/purple vein dark circles. It's a miracle in a pot. It's a very creamy, but dry non greasy texture. It creeps in my under eye lines a tiny bit, but nothing that can't be blotted away. This is better pigmented than a full coverage foundation. Once I get the correct color, this along with the Skin Tint with be my holy grail products. This concealer is truly amazing. I also think their color range is great. However, I wish they'd go one stage lighter because I'm in the shade Y0 and I'm no where near Irish translucent white skin.
A Love Affair Ended Too Soon!
This is great, when you first buy it... It applies like butter. It's very black. I could do perfect winged liner with it. It isn't waterproof though. It doesn't hold on my waterline at all. It washes off if you swatch it on your hand and run water over it. If you have watery eyes it'll smear. So I'd say this is not for someone with allergies! This costs me $22 and it dried out in less than 4 months!! There was still about a quarter of liner in the pot. I would try to apply it and it would flake. It wouldn't even mix with any liner serums properly. I feel like the price was too expensive for how fast it dried out and that it isn't truly waterproof.
The Best For Reds
My grandma got this for my birthday this year. It's one of those things I've been battling to buy because it's such a simple product with a pricey ticket attached. BUT it solved a big part of my makeup insecurities! I dye my hair red, but I believe myself to be a redhead at heart. This works amazingly to match my hair. No matter what hue it is. The product glides on with my angled brushes. I do need my brush to be wet in order to have the product turn up nice and opaque. If everything else melts off my face, then I sleep in it, my brows will still look perfect without any brow gel. I won't be buying any other brow product ever again.
It gave my skin a rash!
I got this as a Christmas gift. The pigmentation is iffy. Some of the shades are amazingly pigmented, blendable, and smooth. Almost all the greens are no problem, the reds, and browns. However, I have very sensitive ecxema prone skin. The shadows made my eye irritated and red. It made the outer corners of my eyelids red and cracked. I was playing with my makeup and put colors all over my face, and my neck got a rash. I want to say this is decent, but because of my skin reaction I just can't recommend it at all.
AMAZING!
As soon as I got this today, I quickly grabbed all my brushes and started cleaning! I used 2 sprays max on my face brushes, and one spray on the eye brushes. I sprayed them, then started swirling the brush around in the jar. This got out foundation, cream liner, foiling mediums, just everything! I didn't even soak my brush in the liquid and everything came out! I had a white blending brush that was stained green and it's perfectly white again. I have been hesitant to buy more expensive brush cleaners because I have to wash my brushes so often. I cleaned all my brushes, 2 Eco Tools Sets, Bdellium Tools 12 pc. Eye Kit, 2 Real Technique Sets, Sedona Lace 12 Pc Synthetic Set, and a few miscellaneous brushes with just A QUARTER OF THE BOTTLE! That's about 50 brushes. I'm truly stunned, I didn't think I could love something this basic so much. Also, I ordered this Thursday night, and got it Saturday afternoon. I also mixed this with with shampoo and olive oil for deep cleaning my brushes and it worked like a dream!! The Beautylish Team also wrote a personalized note card. They're definitely getting more of my business.
