Such a good deal, such a great quality!
I have been using these products for a couple of monthes now on a daily basis, so I can give you an honest personal opinion. First of all I need to tell you I have combination tending to get oily skin, and big pores on the center of my face. Non of these products emphasized my problems, on the contrary they give me a healthy glow, just as they claim to do so. I use the matte foundation from Becca combined with this primer often and my face looks satin, not matte as a paper. The shimmering skin enhancer also gives a natural sheen that makes me look younger and fades my small wrinkles. I use the beach tint for my "no make up" looks on my cheeks and lips, not my favorite color though. The blush is gorgeous and blends into the skin with no effort, the shade looks a bit scarry in the pan but once you apply it transforms to a natural pinkish-corally hue. The highlighter wand is part of my daily routine, I use it in the inner corner of my eyes, on the browbone and on the cupid's bow. This deal is a steal, I am so happy with my purchase. Would be amazing if you'd offer more versiones with other colors included.
Not named after a serial killer!!!
Being a Hungarian I feel the need to defend the name of this excellent product and the whole brand. Please be noted that the Queen of Hungary Water was made in the XIV. century during the reign of Charles I Robert who's wife was Elizabeth of Poland. The legend about the first European alcohol-based perfume called "the Queen of Hungary's Water" includes the possibility to have been made as a medicine for the old Queen to ease the gout she was suffering. The oldest surviving recipes writes down distilling fresh rosemary in brandy. This product has nothing to do with the serial killer Elizabeth Bathory (XVI. century) and with her murders /tortures.
Works the most with bright and cream products
It is a really soft but still directional jewell. Honestly I have expected to be more fluffy, but it is densely packed and has enough stiffness. I do love it since when I knew which products fits the most. I love to use it with cream blushes and highlights (such as Kevyn Aucoin or Becca creams) and with less pigmented or more pressured blushes (Clinique Pop for example). I do reach for it almost every day.
Multipurpose, hard to beat!
This was my firts WG brush purchase and I can assure you will not be last! It blow my mind how soft was it when I received it a couple of months ago. Since then I reach for it every single day. I goes well with setting powder, bronzers, blushers, highlighters. Because of its shape it fits everywhere in my face nicely, placing the product efficiently and blending it out at the same time, the best brush I have ever had. Being said it is also true I don't have much experience with the high end ones, only knew MAC and Trish McEvoy apart of the drugstore ones before. Nowadays I am getting familiar with the japanese artisan brushes thanks to Beautylish! By the way I cannot say enough times thanks for their excellent service! Keep shopping over here...
