I'm not a fan of lipstains that use a marker-like applicator, they don't go on smoothly (thus applying unevenly) and it dries out my lips fast. This one includes a balm, so it's a bit better than some other lipstains like it, but honestly I just thought it was horrible. I tossed the one I owned because I knew I'd never use it.

If you're looking for a cheap lipstain, I though the Covergirl ones (same marker-like applicator, though) went on more smoothly but they don't include a balm.

Love the shadows....

...which, like the Natural Eye palette which I also own, are beautiful colors and very pigmented. However, the packaging sucks! It's inexplicably large and bulky, so it's not very handy for putting in your purse. I'm seriously considering taking a scissor to the box to depot the shadows in it, but I'm not sure yet. Also the brush that comes with it is kind of crappy.

Don't get me wrong, the powder is actually really nice—I just really, really hate the packaging! I wasn't able to get the powder to come through the puff at all, despite many frustrated attempts. When I finally decided to give up and try taking the puff off, I was met with powder all over my bathroom counter. The glass container underneath the puff is filled to the brim, which is great, but it also means I lose a lot of product every time I open the container and try to use a brush to apply it. (I also always get way too much powder on my brush. Gah!)

I would much prefer if the puff was separate from the container and if it had a sifter for when I wanted to use it as a loose powder.

Love These!

Unlike the 24/7 eyeliners, these didn't disappoint me at all. The colors are gorgeous, bright, go on very easily and give you a little bit of time to blend before they set. Great alone or as a base for other eyeshadows. I will definitely be buying more colors. :)

Great on lash line but...

...they don't show up very well on the waterline above your lower lashes (except for the color "Covet," weirdly). I was disappointed but I kept the few colors I bought (Graffiti, Covet, Mildew, Rockstar, Gunmetal) because they're gorgeous but I honestly don't use them much because of the waterline issue. If anyone has any tips on how to get them to work on my waterline better, I'm all ears!

Works Wonders

This removes all my eye makeup—everything from waterproof or layered mascara to layers of eyeshadow, primer and eyeliner—without stinging my eyes and without having to rub! Amazing.

I use it with cotton rounds to remove all of my eye makeup before using a cleansing wipe to remove my other makeup and clean my face.

Mix a drop with your foundation or tinted moisturizer...

...and receive a beautiful glow in return! That's what I do, and I love it. It's subtley shimmery without being over-the-top like other illuminators can be and the color is perfect. Works for every skin tone!

Amazing!

This has become my new, favorite, wear-it-everyday blush since I bought one in the color "blissful," which is a beautiful peach color. It goes on easy, blends beautifully, feels light on my face and I love that I can build up the color. I have normal skin (leaning on the dryer side, I guess) and I wear this over tinted moisturizer and some pressed powder and it lasts all day. I'm definitely thinking about buying some other colors!

I have Pouty, Glisten, and Buff and I love them! Considering buying Fever as well. The color is sheer, so it can be layered over other lip tints or lipsticks for some fun variation. It's also really smooth, not sticky/tacky at all, and the shimmer is just right.
