Love Love Love

This palette immediately stood out to me at my local Sephora, so purchased it right away and I'm glad I did! This palette includes beautiful neutral/natural eye shadows. I like that it includes both shimmery and matte colors. The pigmentation is amazing, the colors blend really well, and are not chalky at all. It has a little pull out drawer at the bottom which includes a double sided brush/applicator. It all has three little pull-out note cards which gives a a tutorial of different looks you can create. I do not use the cards but they would be great for beginners. If I could only have one eye shadow palette it would definitely be this one. You can go from a subtle natural look to a dramatic look. I will most likely be purchasing again when I run out.

My go to black shadow

This is a great matte black eye shadow. A lot of black eye shadows that claim to be matte aren't but this one truly is. I use it for black smokey eye looks, to simply deepen up my outer V area when I've used a lighter color and to set my eyeliner. This shadow is super pigmented and lasts all day and night. This is the only matte black shadow I will ever need or use.

Love the color but...

I absolutely love the color, it's a mid toned pink with a nudish undertone. The formulation could be a little better. This lip gloss is not that long lasting, it may be due to the fact that the formulation is a little bit thinner than say, a MAC lip gloss. I prefer sticky lip glosses due to their staying power. For those of you who dislike sticky lip glosses, you may really love the formulation. I also could do without the scent. The scent is a very strong fruity cherry scent, it's just a tad bit overpowering. I like a little more subtle scent when it comes to lip glosses, like vanilla for instance. It is however pretty good for the price and I love the applicator. I would most likely purchase again just for the price and color selection.

Better liquid liners out there

I purchased this at my local Ulta because they were having a buy one get one half off sale. I got it because it looks similar to the Loreal Lineur Intense and I've heard good things about that liner. I don't find this easy to use at all. Half of the time I have to make the line thicker than intended because it doesn't make it even the first time. I have to go over the line several times because it applies very thinly and leaves streaks. It does not go on as dark and opaque as many other liquid liners I used. It also has a sheen to it so it reflects light. I do not consider myself a novice at all when it comes to liquid liner, I have used many. I don't see how this product would be as easy for a beginner as so many others out there. I only continue using this because I hate wasting, but I go over it with another liner. I will not be purchasing this again.

Nice colorful palette

This palette has a wide range of colors and includes both matte and satin colors. The pigmentation is great for the price. The downfalls are that each shadow was only about the size of a dime and two of the eye shadows came out and have to be glued back. This is great for people who aren't afraid of bright colors and like to experiment with different looks and color combinations. The two sponge tip applicators that came with it are poor quality but I use brushes anyway. The mirror is a nice size. And overall I prefer this over the 88 Shimmer Palette which I also have.

Don't know what happened with this shade...

I have the NYX jumbo eye shadow pencil in Milk and I love it, so I purchased it in Black Bean. I purchased this to use as a base for a black smokey eye. I first apply my UDD primer potion and then apply Black Bean on my lids. On top a Black Bean I place Carbon eye shadow by MAC and this product creases like no other. It hadn't been 5 minutes and it was already creasing. I thought maybe I could get some use out of the product by using it as an eyeliner but that was also a fail. It smudged severely and gave me raccoon eyes. I don't know what it is but the formulation may be different for this shade.

Best one of the bunch!

I love the use the NYX jumbo eye shadow pencil in Milk whenever I use bright colored eye shadow. I first apply my UD primer potion and then put Milk all over my lids as a base. The white makes any bright color you put on top of it pop that much more. I do not experience any creasing with it (only this particular shade).

Love

This lipstick is super pigmented and last a long time. It goes on very smooth and creamy. It's a bright Barbie pink with no shimmer. It's a satin finish but it's not drying on the lips. I love the vanilla scent!

Great primer

I will not put on eye shadow without first applying this primer. This primer makes my shadow last all day and not crease. The only reason it's not a 5 out of 5 is because if you rub it in too much it gets flakey so you have to use a light hand.

Cheaper version of pricier product

I use this cleanser every other day to deep clean. It came with a small bottle of cleanser which I do not use (I use with Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Wash). It cleans very nicely and leaves my face smooth. It did come with batteries which is nice. It has two different speed settings, the lower level is sufficient. I will definitely continue to use this.
