First Impressions:

IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream:
My first thought was "Oh my god, this is not the right color" but once I blended it all over my face and a bit onto my neck then it looked fine. Blended really easily and feels super smooth and very lightweight. I applied it with a flat paddle brush (Pointed Foundation Brush from Real Techniques) and got amazing coverage. I wouldn't say it's 100% the fullest coverage ever but it's medium to full coverage. It had a smell too it, nothing bad but I could definitely smell it, however once it's all on you can't smell anything. I would definitely continue to use this!

Estee Lauder Signature Silky Powder Blush:
Super blendable and lightweight. I loved the color and would absolutely use again!

NYX Automatic Brow Pencil in Light Brown:
Definitely too light for me and I tried to fix it by putting my regular brow powders over it however that's user error and nothing against the pencil. I actually loved how easy it was to use so I'll have to get the right color so I can continue to use it.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Eyeshadows:
There was one shadow that wasn't as pigmented as I thought it would be. The color Sugar Biscuit needed quite a few applications in order to be visible (I put this color on the inner two thirds of my lid) however the other 3 colors were pigmented just fine. They were all super blendable so I'll definitely use them again, maybe with a white base underneath Sugar Biscuit.

Estee Lauder MagnaScopic Maximum Volume Mascara:
Very wet, in my opinion. I had never used a very wet mascara before but I didn't have any problems. Super, super black and didn't clump my lashes, which are very prone to clumping, even with a few coats. Another thing I'll definitely use!

Estee Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick:
I applied this with my Real Techniques Detailer Brush as it was so pigmented! I absolutely love the color and how smooth and lightweight it feels on my lips. It has a satin kind of finish (I usually go for matte finishes) but I really love it! Of course I'll use this again!

All in all I loved everything and I'm excited to use everything again!

Erika, I think that lip color would suit everyone! The lip color came in an Estée Lauder palette I found at TJ Maxx and I got the palette for $29 (:
