NO pigmentation!!!

Now, I have a color selection from a few years ago that is no longer available, but I know the quality has not changed in these shadows. They have NO pigmentation at all! I use eyeshadow primer and even a white base under them, and they still all show up as a faded, dusty color. Very disappointing and not recommended.

I think I just picked a bad color!

I have Wink of Pink, and it is the most drying lipstick ever! It is supposed to be a cream, but it has obvious glitter in it. I want to buy another one because I've seen others use them and they look very moisturizing! I'm shocked at how bad mine is compared to the swatches I have seen of other colors. Maybe I got a blem? Again, I may buy another one but I definitely do not recommend Wink of Pink!

Somewhat moisturizing.

My main concern with lipsticks is that they all dry my lips out so fast! I have this in Carnation, which isn't the best color on me, and it's pretty moisturizing. My lips do dry out after a few hours of having it on but that's fine with me. It's such a smooth lipstick and I like the packaging, but I wish you could see the actual color inside and not just a plastic swatch!

LOVE this cleanser!

I got my first tube of this cleanser about a year ago and I just ran out of it recently. My skin never became immune to its ingredients, so I decided to repurchase it and it's still amazing! This cream has the perfect texture: it's nice and thick but it is easy to spread around your face. I love the smell of it (smells like lemon lollipops) and it's not irritating to my skin AT ALL (and I have sensitive skin). This gives my skin a cooling feeling and makes it feel fresh, clean, and soft but not greasy. I use this in the shower every morning and totally recommend it for any skin type!

WAY better than OPI!

Sure, OPI has a million colors. And sure, most of their colors are opaque in one or two coats. However, OPI chips like CRAZY on me, even with a good topcoat. I have four Essie polishes and I love them all: Mob Square, Lady Like (fall 2011), Carry On (fall 2011), and Power Clutch (fall 2011). They vary in opacity but I find that I need 2-3 coats with each one for full opacity. They do have some polishes, though, that are SUPPOSED to be sheer. There are less than ten of those, though. Essie polishes are about $8 and the color range is broad but focuses mostly on pinks. Some people might think they're too expensive but they're worth it! They last about 5 days without chipping on me and chip minimally for about two days.

Favorite Gloss

Love this lip gloss :) So so smooth, non-drying, and beautiful on the lips. The only thing I hate is that there is such a small color selection! I'm going to get more colors despite the lack of choices.

Drying!

I have "Angel" and it is the most drying lipstick I've ever tried! Also, the color is super frosty and it makes me look dead. I can't believe it's such a popular color! I might try another one in a different finish to see if it's more moisturizing.

Great if you don't have other shadows

This was great when I was beginning with my makeup collection! None of the colors are very unique so I wouldn't recommend it if you have a lot of eyeshadow. The glittery shadows have fallout but the rest are all great quality.
