Beauty Product Reviews
Great value
I never tried Wayne Goss makeup products before and decided to try through the surprise bag. Boy was I surprised by the amount of products in the surprise bag, which is an incredible value. I received lip pencils, eyeliners, lipsticks, lip glosses, the iconic tourmaline eyeshadow palette, a bronzer/contour palette, and a blush/highlighter palette. I love the face palettes - these products are amazing. The eyeshadow is not bad, but I have a lot of these colors and neutral shades are not what I am looking for, but if you love or need a neutral palette, this is a really excellent one. There is a black shadow in it that I am disappointed is truly a black, its more dark gray, but its fine because I have truly black eyeshadow already. The lip products are ok - I am not one for neutral nude lipsticks, but these are fine. I do really like his eyeliner - a basic black, but easy to apply and fairly long lasting. But the best for me are the face products, the blush and highlighter were so beautiful and you can layer the color if you want it darker. The bronze/contour is really easy to use and the contour blends in very nice and natural. I highly recommend this set if you have not tried Wayne Goss.
Very sweet, but very light look
Beautiful packaging and look. The center color is creamy and almost like a base, but adds a little bit of color. I still use a lid primer (my favorite is the Chantecaille one in a stick) because my lids are hooded and oily. The colors are very pretty, soft, and smooth, but it is a very subtle and sweet look. Its not dark at all, yet it is pigmented, just very subtle. I will sometimes use a darker color from another palette on the outer corners of my eyes to add a small bit of definition or smoke. But its great as a soft daytime look.
Very pretty
This is the second set I own and I really like this color and formula better than the Highness one. This one is smoother and adds a beautiful shifting almost iridescent greenish gold color on the lids. You do not need a lot. I just dab it on the center of my lids and it is just beautiful and smooth. However, it does take a little bit more drying time and it can crease, but not as bad as the Highness color. I do have hooded lids, but have used other liquid eyeshadows without any problems. The eyeliners are lovely, but hard - I mainly use them to line my lower lid. I probably need to learn more about making a graphic eye look.
Very pretty and not as dark as it looks
I really love this product. I have use it to mix in with my foundation and it adds a beautiful warm glow to my face. Also, as the sun is out more, I use it to lightly add color to my lighter foundation and it works. I have also used it just as a highlighter and it adds a lovely glow. Its pretty pigmented so you do not need to use a lot.
Beautiful, but hard to use
I have two sets and this one is a bit hard to use. It is beautiful, but thick and it dries slow and applies uneven. Because its thick, you need to dab it on and then let it dry, which takes a little time and even then it creases. I have hooded lids, but have used other liquid eye shadows that were easier to apply and stayed all day. This one also felt uncomfortable on my eye. The eyeliners are pretty, but are a bit hard and also not easy to apply. I use them mostly on my lower lid. Still its very pretty and I will keep working it to figure out what is the right amount to apply. A little goes a long way.
