Best lasting lipgloss/lipcolour!

I love this product. I think it is the perfect mix between a lipstick/lipcolour and a gloss. It is not super glossy but it has just the right amount of sheen. The colour is perfect with all my neutrals but also with brights. The scent is lovely, and the tingly feeling I get when I apply it keeps me coming back for more.

Works well and stays clean in the makeup drawer...

I bought this to replace another from Quo (@Shoppers Drug Mart) and it has worked well. It does NOT have the little stick to help you remove the gunk stuck to the blades, but for the price it fits the bill!

I have about 10 of these!

Bought these at the local Shopper's Drug Mart for my daughter. She likes the crazy colours and I like the price. Well, I have used all the colours we bought and I have not been disappointed. I am a Shellac, OPI, Essie wearer normally, but the budget has been tight so these have fit the bill. I tried the first one when I want a dupe for Essie "Turks and Caicos". The colour I found is closer to Audrey by China Glaze but still looks great with an application of 2 coats. For less than $2 I can splurge and buy several colours at the same time. Be sure to topcoat!

Best nude ever!

LOVE this product. I am always on the hunt for the perfect "nude" lipstick. This colour and the "In the Nude" colour are awesome. I have bought them for myself, carry extras in my purse and have given them to friends as gifts when they say "Where did you get that awesome lipstick?". For $2.99 they also fit my budget! They mix nicely with the glosses from this line too. Try them both.

Great texture, horrid package!

I bought this for my 12 year daughter when she had a skating competition and needed to cover some blemishes. It has great coverage, and an awesome blendable coverage. I liked it so much I went back to Shopper's Drug Mart (Toronto) and bought another one for myself. I wish I had used my daughter's a few more times....why? Because the product broke out of the tube! In both tubes! It was not hot and the product was stored somewhere it could be exposed to heat or moisture...they just both broke:( Wish they had better packaging.

Good to have in your kit!

I have not used black eyeliner since junior high school, but I decided that I needed a good black in my collection. I bought this on a whim @ Shoppers Drug Mart (Toronto) and love it. It is deeply pigmented and goes on without tugging.

LOVE it!

Unlike other reviews, I did NOT find this product sticky in the least. I actually find it quite light and it has good slip. The colour is gorgeous and works well alone or over my favourite Essence Lipstick. For the price it is comparable to other high end glosses. I purchase it here in Toronto @ the local Shoppers Drug Mart. Less than $5.

Well worth the buy!

I purchase Essence here in Toronto from Shoppers Drug Mart. So far I have not had many major disappointments. I LOVE this shadow, it has tons of pigment, great coverage and is long lasting. I sometimes apply it over the long lasting colour in the pot from Essence too, then it really lasts. I think the product is comparable to the high end brands I usually buy.

I prefer ELF to this set.

I have been using an eyebrow set from the States by ELF. It has been a great product for great value. I love the other Essence products so I bought this eyebrow stylist set hoping it would also be a steal. I was very disappointed. The packaging is a pain, the stencils are not very useful, and the brush is cheap and hard to use. I would not recommend this to a friend.

Does not stick to long nails.....

I have longish nails which are curved. I liked the look of the impress manicure once I put it on, but they did not adhere to the nail tips extending beyond the nail bed. Also, two "nails" popped off within a day of application. I would recommend them to someone who has short nails and does not mind the "fake" look.
