Ohhh, the smell.
The color I had was pretty, but the smell was awful. I'm not usually super sensitive to smells, but this was really bad. It didn't last as long as I would have wanted (considering it's called lasting finish), and it was not very moisturizing no opaque.
Dries (and dries up) in no time.
I was impressed with the drying time on these, because it really did not take more than 5 minutes for it to be fully dry. However, the polish in the bottle also dried very quickly. After about 2 weeks, most of the bottles I had purchased were thick and goopy. It also didn't last particularly long on my nails, after a day or so it was chipped a little.
Kinda works...
I kind of like this product. It does a decent job of keeping my oily areas matte for a little while (2 hours maybe). It was very inexpensive, so I can't really complain too much. I got what I paid for. I have to say, though, one big downside is the smell. It reminds me of cheap grandma makeup smell.
It was nice while it lasted, but it dried out so quickly. The brush was nice and it was easy to get a thick or thin line. I only wish it hadn't dried out so fast! Also, I thought that the black brown would be a little darker. It looked more brown to me.
Ehh...
I was really excited to try this out, but once I tried it I was not so hot on it. It comes out of the tube as a clear gel, then starts to turn pink on your fingers. The most important thing to keep in mind is to use really REALLY small amounts at a time. A little goes a long way. Unless you want crazy bright pink cheeks, you won't want to overdo this. I don't think it really flattered my skin tone at all. It was too pink. Also, once it starts turning pink, it can be difficult to blend out.
I got this as a sample from the Sephora 100 points perk thing, and I LOVE it. I actually bought the full size. This color is very really flattering. It's sheer, but not so sheer that you get no color on your lips at all. It has a bit of sparkle in it that looks really pretty in natural light. This gloss wasn't sticky or tacky, but it is a little thick, it also was not super moisturizing, but it didn't dry my lips out either.
yikes
The first thing this did was clump my lashes like no other. If that wasn't bad enough, it turned out I was very allergic to something in the formula and my eyes got very itchy and swollen. I've never reacted to any product like that, so needless to say I returned it.
I got this a looooong time ago. In fact, it was for my 8th grade graduation (I'm now 20). Anyway, the colors in mine are a matte nude, a shimmery charcoal black, and a satin plum. Together, they look great. They're all a decent size, so I still haven't run out (although I really should get rid of this... I haven't used it in years probably). They are no different in quality from their full-size single shadows. I don't like that it's really easy to get particles of one into another, though.
I bought this really cheap from a blog sale and LOVED it. It comes with a lot of great colors. They make great eyeliners and bases. As a liner, it lasts all day on the waterline and upper lash line without flakes. As a base, it keeps shadows in place without creasing (which is an issue for me because I have pretty oily lids). I also like that they really intensify the color I'm wearing on top.
perfect range of colors
I have quite a few China Glaze polishes, and I have yet to be disappointed by any of them. They're all great colors and long lasting. I have an issue with nail polishes chipping on me for some reason, but these seem to last the longest (5+ days). My favorite colors have to be For Audrey and Jingle Bells (from the Holliday collection last year).
