LOVE!

I picked up only one of these, the stain balm thing sounded like exactly what I was looking for, and I absolutely love it. Honey is very light and sheer, but it provides a noticable pinky color that isn't too overpowering for me. It's ridiculously easy to use, and does not dry out my lips like normal lip stains do. The color does last for a few hours, I'd give it about 5 hours. But I like to re-apply about every two or three hours, just as a habit, and for upkeep on my lip color. It's almost too good to be true really! I need more shades!

Powdery, but effective!

I bought this in 'Smooth Talker', since it was a kind of muted color combination I don't usually go for. Turns out, I really, really love it. As with most of these drugstore products that come with brushes, the brush is useless, no surprise there. But using my own blush brush, I swirl it around in all of the colors, and use it as more of a bronzer, in the hollows of my cheeks, since this is more brown/deep for me, and I'm extremely fair. A lot of powder dust will accumulate in the box, but at least its in the box, rather than on my makeup desk/clothes. At first it does on a little powdery, but it's easy to blend out, and blend in. Color is super buildable! If you really wanted to, I suppose you could even use each shade seperately, but I love the gorgeous color I get when I mix them all together. I want them al!

Love!

I have a couple of these, minis I think I bought in a set of 3 at Sephora, and I love them! They smell sooo good, not overpowering, and not gross or chemically, which I can't stand. Although I'm sort of 50/50 on the brush type applicator. I like it for relatively easy application, but it's easy to twist up too much, or too little product. Too little product doesn't seem like it'd be a problem, but with a sticky gloss like this, it's like putting tacky glue on your lips and pulling! Yikes. As for the gloss itself, it is extremely sticky. But, I like it for the sake of this. It makes it extremely long lasting. The color isn't ridiculously sheer, but not 100% opaque. Looks amazing over any lipstick though! I definitely want more of these!

Shimmeryyy

I picked this up on a whim, and I'm so happy I did. The one I bought (Dunes I think) is super, super sheer. Almost no color to it on my lips, but the shimmer shows up gorgeously. I'm not sure about any serious 'plumping' action going on, but it does tingle when I first put it on my lips, which I loveee the feeling of. Although it's sheer, it is seriously gorgeous ontop of a lip stain or lip stick. It is not sticky at all, and for a non-sticky gloss, it lasts way longer than I would've expected it to! Seriously loving these glosses!

So cute!

I have to admit, leopard print makeup is a serious weakness for me, so when I saw this, I knew it had to be mine! It was on my wish list forever, and I finally bought it! So happy I did! I've never used bronzer before, because I am ridiculously pale, and afraid it'd just look like dirt on my face. But I braved it for the sake of this palette. And surprisingly, using a tiny amount of product, and a light hand, it works great for me for contouring! Not too orange or dirt-like. Blended out with the blush and the highlighter, this kit makes even my pale complexion glow. I love it! The blush is a gorgeous pink color, pretty pigmented, and blends out gorgeously on my cheeks. The highlighter is a little iffy. I love it, but I don't love that the brown specks are visable on me because I am so pale. If I use to much, it just looks like I almost got stuck in a dust/glitter storm. But used with a very light hand as a highlighter, it creates a perfect, shimmery glow. I am sooo happy I finally purchased this! Its my go to blush/contouring/highlighter palette for every day since I've had it!

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!

I have this in 'Black Diamond', and it is possibly THE most gorgeous black glitter eyeshadow I've ever owned. I love using it wet, it just adds so much more shine, and intensity to the shadow. Even using it dry, it's far from sheer. There is definitely great color pay off, and great glitter intensity in this shadow! Fall out isn't horrific, as it is with most glitter eyeshadows, and after initial application, fall out through out the day is slim to none. I wish there were more shades to choose from! All the ones I've seen are gorgeous! But I absolutely fell in love with Black Diamond!

Not bad!

I bought this in 'News Flash' (a dark, cranberryish purple color, not listed here) because I was looking for something a little gothy for a show I was going to. (I'm a total Goth kid at heart xD) And I loved it! The color was stunning, and it glided on my lips so easily. Lip liner isn't even necessary! It has the lasting power of about 3-4 hours on me, through normal eating, drinking, talking etc. So it does need to be re-applied. But application is a breeze with the pencil, so touch ups can be done in seconds.

Love it!

I love this! Although I'm truly a UDPP girl, when I was in a pinch and unable to get a hold of UDPP, I bought this. And I wasn't disappointed! It definitely did it's job just as well as UDPP for me. I used to favor it because it came in a squeezy tube, then UD switched to one. Honestly I would take either primer and be completely happy with it.

Amazing Concealer

I've been in the market for a great concealer lately, I've finally gotten away from my glasses, and now I don't have them to hide my dark circles and everyone can see how terribly tired I look! I've been getting sample after same from sephora, and I finally got a sample of this one. (In the lightest shade of course, because my skin tone is ridiculously light) And I absolutely LOVE it. It doesn't get stuck in my pores and look spotty, it doesnt look cakey or crease under my eyes. I took a moment after concealing one eye, and looked in the mirror before doing the other, and the difference was incredible! If at first it doesnt give you all the coverage you want, give it a moment to set, and do another thin layer. You won't need any more than a second layer. I've been using my tiny squirt of a sample for WEEKS now, but I will definitely be purchasing the full size once it runs out. The price tag is steep, but it will last for a very, very, very long time!

Not much more than a tinted lip balm

I really don't see the hype in these. To me, they're not much more than a tinted lip balm. The one I got was fairly light, with some shimmer in it, but I expected a little more coverage than what I got. I have drug store glosses with more pigmentation than that! Plus the one I have feels kind of drying on my lips after wearing it for a while. It can be applied and re-applied like a lip balm, which is nice and convenient, but I just don't get all the hype I guess! It's not horrible, I'll definitely finish up the Cotton Candy one I have, but I'm not dying to buy them all, or even try another shade honestly.
