Not dark enough for my skin tone
When I used to wear M.A.C. I was an NC45 and neither the blush or the bronzer of this duo shows up on my skin. I even tried packing on the color but I believe this best suited for those with fair skin. Oh well, for only three bucks I can't be too disappointed.
Great product!
I ordered both the Original and Sin from Ulta while they were 2 for $20. I was skeptical at first but my eyeshadow looks so much better with this primer underneath. My Coastal Scents shadows now have something to hold on to!
Can't believe I've been sleeping on this!
I have had this in my collection for quite some time but just really got around to using it. I love it! All you need, as with any eyeshadow, is a good base. I use M.A.C.'s groundwork paint pot. I lost one of the shadows in the palette while moving so I may purchase another one because the one I lost was such a pretty matte brown.
The only cleanser that doesn't burn my face!
I've been using this since I was in the 10th grade and I am 24 years old now! I've tried other acne products but they were always to harsh or drying to my skin. I must admit that the first two months my acne got a lot worse before it got better, but I heard other reviews warning others about this so I was prepared.
Glad it was a sample!
Pros:
This mascara dries quickly once applied. Some mascaras have a "wet" feeling to them which can be weird at times
Cons:
THERE WAS NO HIGH IMPACT! I felt as though I had on clear mascara. No volume. No thickness. No lengthening. Thank goodness I didn't shell out the $24.50 for the full size. I'm so disappointed in this high end product. With every mascara I expect to have divalicious lashes and this mascara did not do that at all :(
Will try again wtihout primer
Pros:
This product is VERY lightweight. I feel as though I have nothing on my face. Another great benefit is that it dries to a matte finish. I have oily skin so this is definitely a plus! It also contains Aloe, Cucumber and Vitamins A, C & E.
Cons:
You have to blend quickly because once this product dries it doesn't really move. Almond was too light for my complexion and Mocha was too dark. I blended the two but still wasn't quite satisfied. There was a slight grayish tint to my face that could be attributed to my thin layer of Milk of Magnesia that I used prior to the tinted moisturizer. To even everything out I dusted on some of my Iman's Perfect Response Oil Blotting Pressed Powder in Medium. I plan to try the moisturizer again without the Milk of Magnesia to see if this eliminates the grayish tint.
Beautiful color for summer
I wanted something in the coral shade for my nails this summer. I liked the color so much that I did a blog post about it. However, this was the only brand of polish I've used so far that requires 3 coats instead of the usual 2. Otherwise, the color shows up sheer.
My first and only eye primer!
I have never had my eyeshadows crease on me whenever I use groundwork as a base. Trust me when I say it has stood the test of time throughout the day at work. I've danced the night away at nightclubs and my eyeshadow did not bulge. Had mine for a few years and has yet to dry out. I plan to purchase the other colors.
