Reacted Badly to My Skin

I have extremely dry skin and it is generally not sensitive. This product dried me out even more and gave me an eczema-like rash across my nose and cheeks. After the first time this happened I thought I would experiment further, so I have used it a number of times with a few weeks between each application. Each time the same thing happened - very dry skin on the first day, an eczema-like, inflamed rash on the second. The rash hurts badly so I think it might be along the lines of a chemical burn. I am not willing to put my face through this just for some anti-aging benefits, so I have passed this onto a friend who is going to try it.

100% Vegan and Stunning Formula!

This is a truly stunning collection that is especially impressive considering that it is 100% vegan. Usually pink and red shadows contain carmine, but these shadows do not, and the formula is excellent! They are smooth, very pigmented, have no fallout, and wear beautifully on the eyes. Each shadow has a purpose and you can get a cohesive look without having to bring in any other shadows. The liquid lipstick is beautiful with a good amount of shimmer. It is made with the usual Sugarpill formula, so if you have Trinket or Kim Chi you will not be disappointed with Strange Love. Overall I'm really glad that I bought this set, and the box it comes in is absolutely adorable!

Does the Job, But Too Much Hype

This is a basic setting powder that didn't really live up to my expectations, which may have been too high to begin with thanks to the 'hype train'. It sets foundation, stops concealer creasing, and feels smooth on the skin, but I was told by a number of people that it is especially good for dry skin. Unfortunately it feels the same on my very dry skin as all the other setting powders I have tried. I know that powder by its very nature is not great for dry skin types, but there was a lot of hype around this product and people swearing that it is the best powder for dry skin they have ever tried. Really, it's just a basic powder that does the job in a very inconvenient container. It's not a miracle worker.
