Slightly drying
I prefer the CT lip liner over this by terry one. This is more drying and exaggerated my lip lines. The sharpener that comes with the lip liner is AMAZING. Better than any other brand I've used.
Super high quality for the price.
I have the suqqu cheeek brush and the wayne goss number 2 brush. Because of the shape of the ferrule I prefer using this brush for contouring/applying blush in a more 'cut' way. Its AMAZING quality for the price. When this came back in stock I ordered 2 more as spares. love love love.
Difficult to pick up on a brush
Not sure if jeffree star made his highlighters more 'sturdy' after the initial drama with the batch crumbling... When I swatch this peach goddess with my finger, its super intense and nice, however when I use a brush, be it synthetic or fur, I find it very difficult to pick up a lot of product to create a similar 'intensity' (haven't tried it with a wet brush yet)
But other than that, I get a pretty nice pinky peach highlight with 3 coats of this on my cheek with a brush.
1 star less because of this 'hard' surface/difficult to pick up the product with brushes, but otherwise the colour is v v nice on Chinese skin tone. The highlighter is actually surprisingly large and bigger than my entire palm. The mirror is also nicely sized. As usual, beautylish packaged this very nicely.
Pigmented and moisturizing
I love CT lipsticks, and tend to prefer the KISSING range over the Matte range as it is a little more moisturizing. They are long wearing and the vanilla-y smell is great (not too overpowering).
I got 3 shades- Top: Super Cindy, Middle: Kidman's kiss, Bottom: Secret Salma.
Love the texture and the colours, Kidman's kiss is quite pinkish and good for the summer. Super Cindy isn't as brown as reflected and is a nice slightly brownish nude. Secret Salma is a nice slightly purplish muave. All great to wear and easy to match
High hopes but didn't live up to expectations. Terrible in fact.
I ordered this with the Ardency Inn punker rock liquid eyeliner to see which would stay on longer. Sadly this smudged very quickly and easily. Just did not have good staying power. I would say purchase the ardency inn one.
The good: it comes in this twisting mechanism which saves you from sharpening the tip, but also has an attachable sharpener to sharpen the tip. The bad: Sadly this fails to be useful as the sharpener doesn't seem to sharpen the eyeliner much but just leaves it in an awful shape. (photo attached with my attempt to 'sharpen the tip). So terrible.
If you want a gel eyeliner with excellent staying power- I would recommend the the Chantecaille 24H waterproof eyeliner instead. Those stay on much better than this. V Disappointed.
Black and great staying power
I tend to get oily lids after 3-4 hours of wear, andall eyeliners smudge to the bottom lid (have tried a lot in the past including Stila 24H, bobbi brown gel eyeliners, chanel, IT cosmetic, make up forever, many diff Korean brands, etc).
This one has the best staying power out of them all (slightly better than the Stila 24H). On comparing the ingredients of the Ardency Inn punker rock and Stila, they are remarkably similar and even the external packaging/tips feel almost the same. I buy this over the Stila one because its slightly more long wearing and blacker (but I do wonder if they're produced in the same factory as they are so similar).
Pricey but worth it
Ordered this due to much hype from the beauty bloggers on FB. It didn't disappoint!
If you are looking for a palatte which is super pigmented, buttery, great blend-ability then this is the platte for you! The shades are beautiful, and packaging is nice and sturdy. There are 2 magnets so there is no risk of the palatte accidently opening by itself. The only down side is that the mirror is a bit small for the lid. Not sure why they created a much small mirror.
Otherwise the eyeshadows are all very unique, even the ones that I thought would a bit 'meh' on reviews, they're actually much nicer in real life with glitter that adds a different tone.
As always, beautylish packed this product pefectly. It was triple wrapped in bubble wrap with another large bubble wrap in the box to protect it. I love ordering from beautylish. Find that their packaging and delivery is much better than compared to all the other online websites.
If you feel the urge to splurge on a quality eyeshadow palette that will most likely last for a long time then this is it.
Good clean up
Great and handy pencil to help get rid of bits of stray mascara/eyelid. Cotton buds with make up remover work about the same, but this is more handy. The sharpener that comes with the pencil also fits perfectly and trims it so that not a lot of product is wasted.
Dries and stays put
I bought this, thinking it would be really bright red, but was very happy that it turned out to be a darker red which is very versatile and goes well with many things.
Wish the other colours weren't sold out!! The lip gloss goes on quite wet then dries very quickly into a very nice matte finish, which stays put for ages.
Really cute pattern
Z Palettes are really amazing and convenient way to group all your eyehadow/blush pans into 1 for travelling and storing at home.
This limited edition chevron palette is really nice, am using it to store all my blushes.
