Totally Obsessed!!

I am just now starting to get into nail polish as I have always had acrylic nails in the past. Now that I have them off and my nails are strong, I have become literally OBSESSED with these nail polishes!! First of all, the formula doesn't streak or make a mess and the brush is small which I definitely prefer over other brands - I have small nails and large brushes just make it impossible for me to paint them without looking like a 3rd grader attacked me with the polish. The colors go on opaque with just 2 coats, which I have never been able to find for lighter/nude shades. The other thing that makes these great is the fantastic shade range - they have very unique shades and there is something offered for everyone. I've found myself more attracted to their pale / nude shades because, like I said, I cannot find any other polish that is pale and goes opaque. Yes, it is a little pricey, but I am willing to fork out the cash for these. They are just fun to collect as well! :)

Winning!

I have several of these in a wide variety of shades and am never disappointed by them. WNW has really stepped up their game with the formulation of their eyeshadows - they are all very soft and blendable, and most shades are extremely pigmented (you will always find at least one here and there that isn't as great as the others). The price point is what really makes this a fantastic value, however.

great for travel and starters

I got this to keep at my boyfriends house so that I wouldn't have to pack all of my makeup with me every time I came over, and there were some good and bad things. First, I really like the little bag everything comes in - it's very nice for travel! I also LOVE the blush, and the blush brush is a good shape for my face (the texture isn't the greatest as it isn't as soft as I think a face brush should be). The actual foundation and concealer can be good if you use a decent brush with it - the face brush that comes with this is terrible. Not only is it scratchy, it is far too fluffy, not nearly dense enough to provide any type of coverage for a mineral foundation. Overall, I think it is a good value for what you get, and if you are someone like me who was just looking for kind of "extra" makeup to have handy, it's really great

it's both good and bad

I do think these colors are pigmented for the most part and is great for every day. However, I hate the fact that there is so much shimmer in all of them, and the shadows are so soft that you create a HUGE mess when you use them! Not only is there fallout on your face, but the whole palette becomes a mess - a giant Ke$ha induced mess.

Great for the money

Is this the best pressed powder in the world? No. But it does a decent enough job at keeping shine down and providing a bit of coverage that it's worth buying just to keep in your purse or if you just want something to set your foundation with without having to spend much money.

a fantastic value!

I own 3 of these and have found all of them to be extremely pigmented. They all have shimmer in them, however, so I wish they would release new shades that had less shimmer. The product itself is very soft so you have to be careful not to be too rough handling it and such as they can break rather easily. I don't have to dip my brush back into the product more than once to get enough color and the shades I have (Glow, Innocence, and Shy) are all flattering on my light to medium skintone.

Not worth it

I found this product to be extremely tacky and impossible to blend - I was left with an overly shimmery strip of pink across the top of my cheekbones, not to mention the mess that was left on my fingers. Plus, after I had it for a little while, the ingredients started to separate, and all of the liquid settled to the bottom while a lot of thick goop was left at the top.

I'm so glad I finally bought this!

I've heard a lot of people talking about this brush, including YT guru's who typically stick to higher end brands, so the last time I was at Target I figured I would go ahead and pick it up - it's only $3 so not much to lose if it doesn't work. I've found myself using this so much for so many different things that I am planning on buying a few more - right now I use it for regular face powder as well as bronzer and to buff out any lines that may need blending. I've heard a lot of people saying they really like it for liquid foundation application, so once I get another one I will try it for that as well.

OW!

This brush was so scratchy on my face that it hurt!!! It may only be $1 but I would rather spend that $1 on another E.L.F. product. It's not worth the pain to try it !

Best Deal for $1

I have nearly every shade in these, and have found that darker and brighter shades come off the most pigmented. The formula is a bit thick so if you don't like a thick lip product, you may not like these. Since the formula is so thick and a bit sticky, I feel as if the staying power is better than most - again, darker shades seem to have more longevity on the lips for me. Most of the shades are opaque so if you are looking for just a gloss this isn't it. Pink Lemonade is my favorite shade by far and is a very unique pink with gold shimmer to it. I have found that many of these look like more expensive brand lipglosses/sticks when I wear them, which is great since they are only $1!
