May not be WOC friendly

I took advantage of the Macy's Estee Lauder counter promotion for a 10 day supply of Double Wear. The first thing I noticed was that it took half an hour for the rep to find a shade that was comparable to my skintone. I am a Black woman (Mac NW45 skintone) and towards the 30 min mark I started to think I'd have to get two different shades and mix them. I ended up getting Spice. She applied it with a sponge, but to me that was TOO heavy so I am going to try it again with a stippling brush and see if I won't look so 'pancake face.' As far as getting it off my face, I washed my face twice, used astringent and remover wipes before I felt it was completely off.

UPDATE 2012 : I tried it again & scratch this --- I give it a full 3 stars. I wear it when I remember I have it. I wouldn't buy it, but it doesn't suck like I originally thought. I apply it with a stippling brush and the coverage is nice.

Bought it years ago and still love it

I still haven't used up this palette & I love it. When I need something quick and easy or when I need a palette to take with me on a business trip, this is it. This is my go-to everyday, nighttime, clubbing or dinner makeup palette.

great product

I picked this up at Ross when Yes to Carrots became mainstream. I don't think they make it anymore, but it is a good product. I mix my coconut oil with this product and it makes my hair SOOOOOO soft. IT makes the perfect deep deep conditioner and when I add a blowdryer to the mix its all good.

Great eyeliner

I was on the fence with this product when I first got it. I used it, misplaced it for 6+ months and have recently just found it. ITS STILL MOIST and ready for action. That right there makes me a fan. The black isn't onyx black, but its black enough. I don't have to go over the product to deepen it. First time is a charm.

GREAT BLUSH FOr LESS

I have been in love ever since I stumbled upon Cinnamon. Great price. Great pigmentation. Blends in wonderfully. I only own two different shades, but those two are enough. They don't break and crumble easily (though I have broken one).

Great for eyebrows

I use tan under my eyebrows to highlight my brows. I use nutmeg on my face. I love the consistency and how easily it blends. And the price is to die for.

LOVE

Pigmentation is crazy stupid. I just wish it were cheaper and that they'd hurry up and start distributing inside of the US. The product is $10 and is absolutely worth it.

Liked it but causes dry scalp

I used to dye my hair the chocolate cherry (correct?) color and loved the sheen it gave my hair. Unfortunately, it made my scalp as dry as the sahara. I had to make sure that I over-moisturized my hair when I used this dye. Though, I didn't suffer any hair breakage.

LOVE IT

I definitely enjoyed this moisturizer. Didn't add to my oil situation. Lasted longer than I thought. It was perfect for my sensitive skin and didn't cause any breakouts. It didn't sting or burn.

Great for the oily, sensitive skin

I have combination skin (borderline oily in the summer) and my skin is low key sensitive. I bought a small tube of this and I LOVED IT. It was my fav gym face wash. It got all the sweat and dirt from my face after hard workouts. Granted, its not a makeup remover wash but it does the job. A dime size goes a long way. Great way to maintain your investment.
