Not great, Not bad.
The brush that comes with this? Literally massive. Which makes it kind of hard to work with really. I get what they were going for, but it's just a bit too much. However, the mascara itself isn't too bad. It's quite wet, but it does a good job of finding and defining all my lashes. I love super-dramatic WOW lashes, so it usually takes a couple coats of this to finally work up to that. But, I haven't experienced any flaking or smudging with this mascara, so that time it takes to work it up, is worth it!
Too Dark
I bought this when I was trying out liquid foundations for the first time because it was cheap! I got the lightest shade they make, and it was probably a good 3 shades too dark for me. It definitely gives me that 'you're wearing a ton of face makeup' look. And when it dries, it becomes even darker, and yellowy on me! Yuck! And I hate the spatula thing that comes with it. What exactly am I supposed to do with that? No thank you.
Yuck.
I bought this because I thought it'd be like a tinted lipbalm. Well, I was almost right. It definitely gives you just a hint of color, not overwhelming or incredibly distracting, but oh my god, this smells HORRIBLE! You know that old lady, ive-been-wearing-this-lipstick-for-12-years smell? Yeah. That's what it smells like. I've been trying to convince myself to use this up, since I don't want to have wasted the money on it, but by god, putting it on nearly gags me! Great idea, lack of attention to the smell!
Not Bad!
I actually really like these. To say it lasts all day is a stretch, I usually find myself re-applying once or twice if I wear this, but it goes on so smooth, and doesn't make my lips dry and patchy! It definitely stays even, and has buildable color. They are not as dry, and don't tug on your lip while you apply them. So much better than the Revlon Just Bitten LipStains!
Patchy!
I found that this product applied nice and evenly, but within minutes, even with the balm/my own balm, it started drying, cracking, and becoming patchy on my lips. It would completely disappear in some places, and make it look like my lips we're bleeding or something! I've tried exfoliating my lips, using other balms and glosses over it, but nothing works. It's just bad!
Cute colors!
I bought this on sale at Urbay Decay's Website, because I had no idea they made nail polishes! Well, I definitely wasn't disappointed! These six polishes are absolutely stunning. I've never been excited by neutral colored polish, but I find myself reaching for these ones over and over again! Not to mention, having a glitter purple polish and a neon pink are perfect for my collection. The only downside is they're sooo tiny! Also they seem to chip quite fast. Within two days, but I work with my hands constantly. One of my brushes has a few stray bristles, but I believe that's up to user-error on my part. Other than that, I love this set!
Smells so good!
I've been trying out tons of glosses lately, and I picked up one of these on a whim, and I'm so happy I did! It comes in a cute, tiny tube, which is great, it doesn't take up a lot of space in my purse or pocket. It's a bit sheer, but I'm not looking for anything full-coverage. It's not sticky at all, and it smells like CUPCAKES! What could be better?!
Yuck!
To get any color pay off from this thing, you pretty much have to coat your brows in the waxy color and slick them down! I'm not a fan at all! I bought this when I was trying out new brow products, and I was seriously disappointed. The highlight color is also very hard and waxy, and doesn't blend out at all, it just looks like you took a crayon to your brows!
Love These!
They have sooo many gorgeous colors to choose from! I'm pretty sure I own at least 5 of them by now. They aren't exactly 'fast drying', whatever that really means, but they dry fast enough. I always use a quick dry top coat as well. The only other thing about these is that they can be a tiny bit sheer. Not exactly a one-coater. But the colors are so gorgeous, and two coats will look perfect! I will definitely buy more of these!
Expensive!
The only reason I rated this only three stars, is because of the price! It's $20 per pot. You only really get a few in there, it's by no means full at all. The bottom of my jar is showing. I bought them in Moulin Rouge, black, red, and crystal colors. They're gorgeous, but ontop of being sooo expensive, they're all the same size as well! Different sizes would be good. I'd rather go to the craft store and by little gems there. It'd be cheaper probably times 10!
