Desert island worthy!
I have been waiting for a high quality matte eye palette and Too Faced once again delivered!
As usual, the colors blend beautifully and are very pigmented. I haven't tried these without a primer, but can attest to the longevity with one. This palette works for any skintone. There are instruction cards tucked in the lid of the palette if you need a guide to creating a few basic looks, but it's much more fun to experiment on you own. The Vintage Violet looks very nice against a darker skintone and Coffee Bean has become my workhorse color!
This palette was worth the wait. You get alot of product and the price (for me) is very justifiable.
Nice color and shine
I got a few of these at a close-out shop for about $1 each. I'm impressed with the subtle color payoff and I love how soft these make my lips feel. The container is a very nice, hefty glass with a screw-top lid. You can apply with a brush or fingers and it looks good over a lipliner wash.
I understand all of the great reviews, but.....
I finally broke down and picked up this brush about 5 months ago. BROKE being the operative word. This is a fantastic brush that applies shadows perfectly to my lids. It's very soft and applies pigments very precisely. It also cleans very easily and I can tell that it will last me a long time.
However, I can (and have) acheive all of the above with numerous other brushes at a fraction of the cost of the 239. I'm not really feeling paying so much money to have MAC stamped on the handle.
I really do like this brush, but it's not so great that I 'save it' for special applications. I won't buy another one, but would never turn it down as a gift. ;-)
Brilliant color and loooong lasting
I have this in Raisin. I absolutely love this shadow and color. I use it as more of a transition color between my browbone and crease, but it also makes a lovely lid color. I'm always surprised to see so few reviews about Ben Nye products. The are superb quality at ridicilously cheap prices.
These shadows will last all day with a primer underneath. I have been out in crazy heat and humidity and this stuff will-not-budge! It blends very easily and you get a lot of product. I can't wait to try some more colors.

My FAVORITE brush.....and I have ALOT of brushes! ;-)
Where to begin, where to begin??? The construction of the brush is superb like all of Eco Tools products. The bristles are crazy soft and the handle fits very comfortably in my hand.
This brush works brilliantly for blending out concealer. It's soft enough not to tug at the delicate under-eye area, yet firm enough to spread the concealer in an even and concise manner.
I have several of these brushes that I also use to apply my cream eyeshadows and bases. It blends perfectly over my eyelid with 1-2 swipes! I also use this to clean up my brows. For some reason, this brush works better than my fingers at shaping and cleaning up my brows.
I've used it to apply pigments....it's a little big for intricate applications, but works like a charm if you're apply a single color on the lid.
I could go on-and-on about this brush! This is my 'workhorse' brush. While I have several of these brushes, I have been using them for quite a few years with no apparent wear and tear. What a great quality brush!
Pretty, pretty colors!
I got these at a steal from Hautelook. I was very impressed with how easily these glide on the eyes. You don't need to apply any pressure to get a great color payoff. Since these are very creamy, you'll need to apply a powder on top to set the color, but once set, it stays!
Overall, I have many other liners that work just as well or better at a fraction of the price, but if these were on sale again, I would pick up another set.
Many, many uses for this brush....
First, the construction of this brush is fantastic. Very sturdy and I personally like the fat handle. The bristles are about the softest I've felt and the price is cheap, but it is not reflective of the quality.
I have several of these....I use it mostly to apply my MSF. It's my final step when I'm going for a total flawless look. You don't need alot of product, the brush applies the msf perfectly.
I also have been using this to apply bronzer and surprisingly, cream blush! I love how this brush gently presses the product into my skin.
I highly recommend trying out all of the EcoTools products. They are a great company who provide high-end quality at the drug store.
Gets the job done!!!
Wow! I have this in both Nutmeg and Chestnut and am very impressed with the coverage. This concealer is easy to apply....very creamy, but not slick and greasy. It works beautifully underneath my eyes (you do need to set this with powder to prevent creasing). I use Chestnut to 'erase' any small marks on my face and it gives me a flawless look. I don't recommend using this paticular concealer as an eyelid primer, you may have some creasing.
For the price, you really can't go wrong. I'm surprised that I don't hear more about this great product.
BB Cream?....eh, no. Very good tinted moisturizer.....yes!
The color (dark) and consistency work very well for those days that you want a very natural, yet pulled-together look. I do wear a stronger sunscreen underneath this product.
If you add concealer you will end up with a smoother result. This cream doesn't completely hid any dark spots or circles, but makes them look less prominent on the face.
A light dusting of powder over your slick spots is all you need to have a nice, lasting finish all day long (even in the heat and humidity!).
The price is very good, especially with sales and coupons. I've had no irritations or breakouts since I starting using this about 3 weeks ago.
So far, other than the very expensive Smashbox BB Cream, Maybelline is the only one who realizes that WOC are willing to shell out major money for the newest trend.
Admirable job.
