I was actually very surprised with this. I am pretty pale, and finding a foundation or concealer (I have to use a white one) that matches me is the challenge of my life. I really was not expecting anything from this, considering it's Wet N Wild and it's $4. I don't even remember why I bought it, but I'm glad I did. The color works for me, it's light and pretty neutral, maybe leaning a little yellow but still neutral. Most pale foundations are either so terribly pink or so horribly yellow that they aren't even foundations anymore, just paint. It covers my redness and acne scars pretty well with a white concealer underneath and is buildable. It lasts fairly well, I can usually make it through a day at school without needing to powder, though I don't have particularly oily skin. I've been using it for over a year now (with Makeup Forever Matte Velvet #15 under my eyes, bridge of my nose, cupids bow and cheek bones to brighten a little) and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm mainly excited about the fact that I've found something that matches me that also costs $4.

Yes.

I have three of these beauties- Cathedral, Prayer, and Lovecraft. The packaging is gorgeous and well made. As for the lipsticks themselves, they are my favorites. I'm not sure I've used many of my other lip products since I purchased them (I've had Prayer and Cathedral for about a year and Lovecraft since February). They are opaque and the ones I have are mostly matte or satin, but don't uncomfortably dry out my lips. They last like they're getting paid for it. Even if I don't feel it on my lips any more, I usually can still see the color. As for the individual colors, I use them all regularly. Most of the time I have them all with me because they're just so easy to wear, they go with whatever I'm wearing and the rest of my makeup. Lovecraft is the perfect natural color for me- it's literally the color of my natural lips, a natural rose-pink, with the boost of a lipstick. I usually can't wear pinks because I have very light skin and they wash me out, but this one is perfect. Cathedral is a terra cotta redish brown swatched and in the tube, but it pulls more brown on me. I can get a different effect with both Cathedral and Prayer- a dark red with a hint of brown-burgundy- by dabbing it on my lips and building the color instead of swiping it on. I find that they last even longer when I do that. My only small gripe is two out of three of the ones I own have broken, more than once. It's fixable, but it's messy and makes them look messy.

I definitely want to purchase more of these, they're my favorite lipsticks that I have tried!

Good bang for your buck.

Im on my second jar of this eyeliner right now, and Im really pleased! Its very creamy for the first 2 or 3 months within use, and very good for making really crisp, sharp lines and cat eyes. After that it doesnt really dry out, just becomes thicker and has a drier texture. Then it becomes really good for using in the waterline, smudging on the lash lines, and using as a base for darker eye looks! One jar lasts for a really long time- I think my first jar lasted over a year!

Nope. Nada. NO.

I first tried this lip balm about a year ago ( i got the summer fruit) and I loved it so much. It made my lips so soft, it tased and smelled really good and I chew on my lips a lot when Im stressed or nervous, and i could put it on and they would be smooth and soft again in a couple of hours. When I bought a second summer fuit it didn't go well at all. My lips got a really weird texture and feel to them and they were so chapped all the time. Im not even sure I would call it chapped; more like raw is the word I think im looking for. I stopped using it and started using another lip balm and it went away after a while. I dont know if they changed the formula or if I developed an allergy to an ingredient, but the weird thing is my sister tried it because i had liked it so much and she had the same problem. If i try to use it again i get the same weird texture and these odd little bumps all over and around my lips, and its very uncomfortable and not very attractive. Do not recomend.
