Very pretty, and long lasting!!

I only have one of these, in English Rose, which is a very shimmery pink with a clear pink SUPER shimmery gloss. This isn't a hot pink or a candy pink, but a more natural pink - I want to say sort of a dark coral mixed with pink??

The color goes on smoothly, and the applicator makes it easy to get a smooth line around your lips. The gloss is on the thick/sticky side, being a long wear product. But the consistency is not gross or annoying to me at all, in fact pretty perfect. The smell is pretty much consistent with other Rimmel lip glosses that I have tried; a bit cheap smelling, but not strong enough to actually smell when it's on your lips. The lipstick/color side has great color pay of and is very pigmented, while the gloss side doesn't add any color but a nice sparkly shine. I like the gloss side a lot, just to wear alone or with other lipsticks.

The only thing that i would add - this is definitely a LONG lasting product! It does last a long time, in fact to the point that it is difficult to remove. When I try to get it off, it's just a sticky mess that does not want to leave my lips!! So if you are looking for something that you don't have to worry about too much fading/reapplying, this is it :). The only reason it only gets 3 stars is because it's so damn hard to remove...

Pretty good lip glosses

I saw these at the store and the colors were so beautiful that I HAD to get some. It was one of those times where I literally couldn't stop myself, LOL. The colors are pretty basic but there is something about the shades and shimmer mix that makes them look pretty original.

I got the colors Always Lovely (pink, tiny silver shimmer), NonStop Glamour (pale golden pink, gold shimmer), and Unlimited Gold (gold/beige with silver shimmer). The colors are beautiful, not glittery, just very fine shimmer. When I swatch them on my hand they have a decent color payoff but on my lips, they all ended up looking pretty much exactly the same, being that they are so sheer. I did not get any dark colors - there were red and plum shades, so I am not sure of the color pay off or sheerness of those. I was rather disappointed by the pink shade, Always Lovely, because in the tube it is the most gorgeous bright candy pink with a great foily silver sheen but the color is nonexistent on my lips :(.

Overall, they are pretty and last decently well (I am not sure about 6 hours though...). They are just a tiny bit too slippery for my personal taste but definitely not a bad consistency by any means. They are extremely affordable at around 4-5 dollars each. They have all the basic colors anyone would need to add some oomph to your lipstick; there were I think 8-10 different ones that I saw. I also noticed the colors perfectly complement their lipstick selection, so you can get a lipstick AND a gloss that matches for under $10!! I say that's worth a try. Oh, and I of course have to add that they don't have an annoying smell...there is a slight "cheap perfume" smell to these but once it is on your lips you will never notice it!

One of my alltime favorite products

This is the only powder that I have ever used that looks natural under my eyes. I have very dry skin so it is extremely difficult to find products that don't make the skin under my eyes look really cakey or obviously powdered. I have been using Powderflage every single day for the last two years and will never stop using it. It is amazing stuff - very fine powder and it just adds that extra bit of brightening under your eyes to make the concealer do its job.

However, as a "concealer" by itself it doesn't do anything for me at all. Maybe slightly brightening but does nothing to conceal my circles. But as a finishing product, it does make my concealers last all day and assists in the coverage and evening of the skin tone under my eyes!

Also, wanted to add that that brush that it comes with is just ridiculous. It is pretty much useless; I just use a brush that I had that was a "crease" brush but is way too huge to actually be used as on and its perfect!! (Just FYI)

One of my daily products

I use this product everyday under my eyes and it really makes a huge difference. I used to have the problem where the concealer under my eyes would look really cakey but Stay Don't Stray makes a huge difference. Concealer goes on smoothly and you can't even tell its there (which is the point!). Stay Don't Stray somehow helps it to blend really nicely. Other face primers have not given me this result. Also, it makes the concealer last ALL DAY!! It doesn't run or fade or crease like it would if I didn't use SDS. I will wash my makeup off at the end of the day and be shocked to see my dark circles because my makeup lasted so well that I forgot they were there LOL. Anyway, I recommend giving this a try if you have dark circles that are hard to keep covered OR if you have a hard time making concealer look natural. It also helps the eyeliner on the bottom not smear/drag down throughout the day. Overall a great purchase.

Terrific nail polishes

I do love OPI nailpolish. The brush is rather large, which kept me from expanding my collection. But upon rediscovering some of my OPI nailpolishes and using them, I realize that I can get past that. The formula goes on super smoothly, it dries very quickly, and lasts a long time - all making the giant brush seem unimportant. OPI has overall great polishes with clever/funny names that make it more fun! My favorite of the ones I have is "What's With the Cattitude?" from the Shreck collection - the perfect sky blue!

Long lasting and worth the price!!

This polish is very long lasting on me - I work with my hands all day so it is hard to find one that doesn't chip on the very first day!! And Zoya is one of the best for me. They have amazing color selection - though it is hard to gauge what it will look like from the swatches on their website - but you will not be disappointed with the product. They have lots of different finishes but I am particularly fond of the "foily" ones like in the Sunshine & Summertime collection. My favorites are Faye and Kimmy!!

Absolutely love it!!

I have really bad dark coloring all around my entire eyes - usually I pack on multiple concealers on everyday to cover it up, starting with a corrector (Erase Paste) and then putting a skin toned liquid, and then a brightener, and powder!! Phew, it's so exhausting. One day I was at the store and saw this stuff - which I heard was comparable to YSL Touch Eclat (have NOT tried this). I could not say if this statement is true BUT Milan HD has become my absolute favorite concealer! It is liquid but covers like it is more thick, without looking cakey at all. I think it's impossible to make this look cakey! Super brightening and great coverage and its now the ONLY concealer I use!! (Although I do set with Powderflage.) Great buy, def get this stuff!!

Awful smell!

So I got a tube of this - Movie Star, it's clear blue with glitter in it. First of all it is a bit on the more sticky, thick side. But the thing that bothers me to the point of never purchasing another one is the smell!! Holy guacamole!! This has the cheapest, most revolting fake vanilla scent on earth. Ugh, couldn't even stand to wear it for a day :(. One of the make or break things for me when it comes to lip products is the smell...if it's gonna be on my lips all day it needs to smell good! Also, maybe it is my baking background -- but I HATE fake vanilla scent especially. I am not sure if all of them smell this way, as I was so turned off that I didn't want to get another. But the colors are just beautiful and glittery amazing - ALMOST irresistible ;).

This stuff is gross

This stuff is always so popular and "the best mascara" but I really do not see the appeal. It was just pretty much useless for me. It was as if I had put nothing on my lashes at all, so what's the point? If I put more than one coat my lashes instantly clumped together...grosso!! I would NEVER recommend this to anyone, especially when there are so many other great and affordable choices.

I LOVE this stuff

I am someone who has ALWAYS had very dry skin, but especially on my lips. I have pretty much always had dry, chapped lips, and a bad habit of peeling them (eew). I have done it my ENTIRE life so if my lips are dry, it just worsens the problem, causing me to have bleeding lips - no lipstick for me! And to top it off, every chapstick/balm/gloss on the planet dries them out and makes it worse. The only one that came close to helping was Kiss My Face brand balms...until I tried Jack Black! In ONE day my lips went from dry, peeling, crispy to smooth and moisturized...and I do not remember the last time I had NORMAL, smooth lips! This stuff is great, really great...good texture - not slippery or too thick - it lasts on my lips so I only have to reapply it a couple times a day. I will NEVER be without this stuff! And I can wear lipstick now, yay!!!
